I'm thinking of switching to PlatinumTel from PagePlus, and instead of non-4G Verizon phones for PagePlus, PlatinumTel uses any Unlocked GSM phone.
They use the Tmobile network, so they said a locked tmobile phone should work, but might not. worst case, I can try to unlock it myself or with an online service.
So the question is, what is a good phone to get?
The key features I want is a high resolution display. I currently have a Rezound and it has a 720p display, so I'm kind of spoiled.. I'd rather not have anything with PenTile pixels if I could help it.
Also, good rom support for Jelly Bean, or at very least, ICS. I'd want a MicroSD and removable battery too.
I'd want to buy it on craigslist, so please recommend some phones that don't cost too much, because I already have a Nexus 10, and I don't wanna spend too much.
thanks
Galaxy blaze 4g.
Same specs as
s2. Just a smaller screen. And about 130 on craigslist.
Sent from my 8-Core LG Galaxy S7
I bought a moto g, 1st gen. its okay but no microsd slot, and 1gb ram gets used up quick
Then i sold it, got a samsung galaxy s3 gsm att unlocked new because ebay had a ebay bucks special took the price down to $135 but the microsd slot wouldnt stay inside the slot (spring broken)
I loved having 2gb ram, first time having a phone with so much. The OS 4.1.2 well not much to say about it but its boring. I wanted to upgrade it so bad but warranty was an issue and I already returned it for money back
So now Im back to square one. Budget under $150-$200 used, new, dont matter, as long no cracked screen or major problems
I dont need top of the line, I just want something I can use prepaid sim cards (gsm), dual sim would be nice, 2gb ram would be nice.
Some phones I was looking at like the moto x, used, but no microsd slot again.
Moto g dual sim has 1gb ram and ebay its over $200
Any recommendations? Only att, or tmobile, so I can sim unlock and use my lycamobile or other sim cards. I want dual sim so I can use a sim card dedicated to data usage, and the other for cheap phone calls.

Hi Guys,
I come from a 32GB/3GB RAM, D855 LG G3 in Gold + 64GB Extreme Pro SD. I had my LG G3 since July 2014. My LG G3 toasted last week beyond repair, so Amazon refunded me $700 that was the price i paid for it. I'm currently in the search for a new smartphone as, i am currently cellphone-less. Thinking about the options available on market, even if i'm in an emergency and need to get hold of a new phone asap... i think i can hold on until August 13th to be sure what Samsung is going to come out with the Galaxy S6 Edge + and Note 5.
Currently i'm in search of a new 64GB or 128GB storage phone.
My contenders are:
Galaxy S6 Edge 64GB or 128GB (if i can stretch the money) Emerald Green --- Second option: Platinum Gold.
Galaxy S6 Edge + 64GB.
Galaxy Note 5 64GB .
Motorola X Pure Edition 64GB + Customs backs of the Moto Maker.
I'm not interested in the LG G4, as i just come from a G3 and want something with a more premium build and the G4 is not enough for me. Between these options what would you think it's best?? Per the news it seems the Note 5 would be lacking, - nothing new. The Edge + has my attention, but at least i would need to go 64GB or more if i grab any internal storage phone. Motorola X Pure Edition seems like the most sensible choice, but i like the design more of a Gold or Green Galaxy Edge. I'm willing to go up to $900 for my new cell phone as i just have been refunded $700 for my dead G3. More than $900 would be crazy, still $900 is quite steep.
What others phone should i consider if i'm looking for top specs and new devices?
I prefer devices with SD cards, but it is not a deal breaker. I never had a device with internal storage only. So this... scares me that i may run out of 64GB easily. 32GB i know is not enough for me. 64GB could work but i had more space on my old LG G3. 128GB would be ideal but the prices are $$$$. So out of internal storage Samsung's as of today... maybe the 64GB would be the happier medium.
Please guys, some comments would be nice as always more heads think better than one. If i get a Samsung, i want it to be the edge as i'm a girl... and love the looks of it better than the regular S6.., Green is my 1st option but it is the most expensive, i'm between Green and the Platinum Gold ... out of there, i wont even consider the other colors because those are the one's that i like.
I had a Notes, Galaxy, do not have a problem with phablets or big phones as well as smaller ones. I just need a phone ASAP- and since i have a considerable credit, i want to get a nice one.
Thanks
Flip a coin dude & best of luck
answer is easy enough : " read slowly smartphones names, and make the choice according to your own emotions ( what sounds fitting right with you ) "
Example : " S6 Edge " = " S Sex eGee " = " is sex and G " = " Essex and G " = " S X and G " = " is X and G " and so on....
Example 2 " iPhone 3gs " = " fan of I and fridges " = " i FOne 3gs " = " i F1 fridges " etc etc.....
there is nothing really wrong in smartphones you mentioned, it's all about making the impulse purchase.
i have all iPhone 3gs, LG G3 D855, and S6 Edge, what i miss the most is iOS 3 or 4.

Because every Motorola phone I have ever owned has hard bricked do to no fault of my own, I would advise against the new Moto x. The s6 edge plus is an overpriced s6 edge with an inferior processor if all leaks are correct. You cannot go wrong with the s6 edge. Sexiest phone on the market. But the note 5 sounds like the only phablet I would ever dream of. If productivity is your purpose go with that. Otherwise choose what I chose, the galaxy s6 edge.

How is inferior the processor of the edge + in comparison of the s6 edge? I thought one was an exynos 7420 and the one on the edge + was to be believed an exynos 7422. I'm just holding to see if any of the newer devices could sport an SD card even if rumors have said that the Note 5 and edge+ could come sans SD.
Thanks for the motorola. I didn't know that about moto. Has anyone had bad experienced with Moto too?
I'm just holding on to see if Edge + or Note 5 could come with an SD card slot by some miracle. And also for the price drop on the galaxy edges on Amazon.
I have had my Galaxy S6 Edge 64gb in Galaxy Black for a few months now.
I keep a (small by audiophile standards) music library in storage, and several audiobooks.
A multitude of games, and other misc apps.
and my memory is still sufficient.
As long as you aren't the hoarder type, internal memory isin't a huge issue
Go well sir, and buy with your brain.
weigh up the features, and what you want, then calculate the costs.
S6 edge is by far one of the best built phones available. Looks stand out and premium. Camera fantastic.
However battery life is awful and ovepriced.
Screen not big enough.

I heard that the s6 edge plus has the snapdragon 808 while the note 5 will either have the exynos 7422 or 7420. They will both lack an sd card.. As for Moto, it may just be bad luck for me but due to my experiences. I would not recommend that
I went in and bought in early August the Green S6 Edge 64GB. Got the Wireless charging pad in black + 2 Spigen Neo Hybrid cases (Crystal Clear + Neo Hybrid in Gunmetal) + Caseology Case + Amfilm screen protectors + PS4 Magma Red controller (Yes to play games). Hehe i went all in!!!! I've been loving it, sometimes i thought if i held for the Note 5 but..... 64GB Note 5 are still around $900. I am very glad i went with the 64GB version as i already filled it half. I love my purchase and my Emerald Green S6 Edge, it was the color i wanted! and even looks more pretty than the Gold imho.
Hi! Do you have any physical preferences such as screen size, curved screen or not, and are you interested in flashing custom ROMS, kernels, mods ,etc. ?
Right now I'm on Verizon w/ a Nexus 5x running CM13 and Xposed. I want something with a larger screen as my phone has become almost my laptop. I know Verizon can be a bit tricky with running unlocked phones and custom Roms. I'm not really interested in buying a used branded Verizon phone and running LG/Samsung version of Android. What are my best options here? Are you on Verizon and what do you use? My price range is 300-425$

**DEVICE SUGGESTION THREAD** -- Not sure what device to buy? Ask here! by KidCarter93
Hi folks,
Long time no activity for me on XDA, but good to be back!
Been doing a lot of research on the device to replace my ancient GS5 Dev Edition and settling on the S9+. My concern is wanting a 256gb version, or at minimum, 128gb. I understand these phones are available in the UK and UAE markets and can be activated and shipped to the US easily. My issue is I am on Verizon and appears these phones don't have LTE Band 13 which is critical to have.
If international devices aren't an option, are folks aware of thoughts/plans for Samsung to offer a bigger internal storage variant in the US post-launch? I'm fine using a big SD card, but understand you can't load all apps to the SD (especially without root) and afraid 64gb will fill up quite quick with the OS and apps.
Thanks!
