Nexus is dead, Pixel is nothing (just a Nexus with iPhone price) and Samsung is dead (Exynos/Knox/kernel source), so what is the best phone for LineageOS? I really don't like OnePlus anymore, because for the same price I get a S7 Edge with VR, warrenty and local support (Samsung service point). Car charger for 30 bucks, dash charger, dash cable... f... that!
For now I got a Mi Max Prime (64GB version) and a Mi5s Plus which is just like a 100$ phone compare to firmware support for a highend device (buggy firmware, no real updates, no Xiaomi support (flop)). Don't get me wrong, the hardware is genius (dualsim, 128GB, 6GB RAM, Snapdragon 821, 3800 mAh, QC and for under 400€ with import and shipping) but it feels like the first CM alpha builds from a S3 with Exynos :/
So I need to switch... I looking for a new powerful device with great ROM support, like OnePlus. The battery (SOT) is on the first position, after LineageOS support.
What you think? Switch to the old Nexus 6p, buy a OnePlus 3T (it is the last option for me) or maybe a other phone? A brand new S7 Edge I can get for 400 bucks, a Mi Note 2 for 550 but I really don't care anymore... good battery and official LineageOS is what I need for the future.
I hope you guys can help me.
Regards

right now i'm enjoying my Nexus 6p, but if you want something newer the OP3T is your best shot
That is pretty much how i feel with my old LG g3.
Last I checked the Nexus 7 from 2013 had community support well into 2016. So maybe we should all stop placating Google/Oracle in their resource gluttony & update rampaging....
My 2 cents.
What about the Asus Zenfone 3? So far that's the best hardware I've seen for the lowest price. The software is the only thing I don't like about them so much but so far it beats all the other overpriced iPhone comletitors

I'm no developer and don't plan to be, but, how does a phone enters development support for CM and now LeanegeOS?

If a dev like this phone or using this phone now, he'll build it
Change your mi5s plus for mi5
Xiaomi...cheap and great
I am using redmi 2 for over a year now. Couldn't be happier with it
I already got the Mi5 and it was a beast with MIUI but the Mi5 get real firmware support. In 60 days we get 5 (stable) updates and anything works perfect but 5 inch is to small
Its a pain to unlock bootloader but it works...
When I look at the OnePlus 3T: Unlock bootloader in one min., TWRP already official, Kernel source released, based on Android 7.1 official and ROMs like LineageOS already works perfect, without official build.

I use a note 3 Samsung with lineageOs and it works great! I wouldn't change it (ir, micro sd, battery that you can change, etc.)

I think Wileyfox will be a good choice in the near futur. Bootloader unlocking is the easiest I've ever done. They made good price, good quality product, official Cyanogenmod support (but it's over now). They don't make overpriced product like OnePlus or ****ty one like Xiaomi (7 days just to have a code to unlock the bootloader) and Xiaomi have brand new smartphone variant every week. Redmi note, redmi note prime, redmi Pro, redmi note pro.... Hard to follow.
I've bought a wileyfox Swift 2 at 189€ - 30€ = 159€ on the official website after broke my OnePlus 1 screen. I find it's better than my OP1 except for the photography and for the rom support.
I've got before a moto g (peregrine + falcon) ZTE open C, Fx0, oneplus 1, Redmi note 4 sold 2 weeks after receive it. And wileyfox is one one the best quality/price I've ever had just after the Fx0.
not the "best" only "best fit"
Hi,
why not the ZTE Axon 7 (snapdragon 820, >=4Gb RAM; back fingerprint, usb-c + QC, Amoled; good photograph) ?
david
I have now a Xiaomi MI4 but for sure a Zaxon 7 is a good choice
Xiaomi MI5S plus user here. LineAgeOS is working for my phone (unnoficial), but is great!

I sell my mi5s plus, got the mi5s but main phone is the OnePlus 3T and it looks like I will never switch from OnePlus, because easy bootloader unlock and support for custom roms.
Dear All,
Please I need your suggestions as I am confused between Mi 6 & Mi 5s.
Whose camera is better? And which one is best for gaming.
The price for both are as below
Mi 5s - 250 USD
Mi 6- 350 USD
Thanks to All
Camera - Mi 5s
Performance/Gaming - Mi 6.
Read some reviews of 5s and 6 and choose what suits for you.
Mi6 looks good and performs better in performance and battery. for 100$ I would buy the new one.
But I have mi5s and I wont buy mi6 , its not a good upgrade for me.
Try to get both of them in your hand.
Also mi6 is very heavy, compared to mi5s
I would not buy a phone that does not have a jack for the headphones .... (srry for my English)
Neither get a Oneplus 5T,the Mi5s i got last Dec is still on MM no sign of even a stable Global Nougat build.
Anyone know where I can still buy the original Mi Max (not version 2 or 3) from a trusted seller? I can only find them in eBay from a seller in HK but now sure if they are selling genuine or fake Mi Max. Price seems to good to be true (around USD$180 for 3GB/64GB).
Thanks!

Just think about it... Who's gonna fake already so cheap Mi Max!?
Good point, but I'm thinking the seller may be trying to liquidate inventory of fake Mi Max. Has there been any reports of fake Mi Max ever since the genuine version was released in 2016?
Would you think the Mi Max 2 would be better than Mi Max? Reason I'm opting for the original version is that there's an official Lineage OS 15.1 available already plus the hardware specs are a bit better.
Thanks!

No fake Mi Maxes were ever reported.
Where did you see original Mi Max official Lineage OS 15.1 available!? Official Mi Max development is dead!
Do you see hydrogen there? https://github.com/LineageOS/hudson/blob/master/lineage-build-targets#L4-L15
Thanks for the info on fake Mi Max.
My mistake about LOS 15.1, I meant 14.1 as I found a version here: https://download.lineageos.org/hydrogen
Thanks for the link to github, it's a good and quick resource for me to find official LOS supported devices.
Going to buy this phone soon
I'd like to ask several questions regarding it
Which is the best ROM, Kernel, etc
- Good for gaming
- Longer battery life
Also does it support fast charging?
Did my research and it says yes but I have to buy other charger. Any recommended charger for it?
anyone gonna even reply? lol
You are not going to buy that phone. AI Global 6/64 doesn't exist. You did a poor research.
Ai ist China only ...
There is no "best" ROM but I like AEX or MIUI.
It Support quick Charge but is not certified so you may need to test some chargers. I use one from Anker.

well 'scuse me for not being a phone geek, there's a lot of Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 type that I can't remember. First I thought my phone is Note 5 Pro but it's Oreo so I research again and I think mine is AI. And by Global, I mean it's Stable ROM, and support several language and not Chinese only. I just ask for some tips not for you to judge me. so F off
i use htc 10 charger for my note 5
from 1% to 100% in 2 hours or less
i use original cable from note 5
