Top products from r/Smartphones

I have not seen any truly scientific tests, but this is on the right track.

From what I understand, most USB cables are 28awg, so finding one with larger wires (which would be a smaller awg number) will prevent the voltage from dropping too much over long distances. Something like this from Monoproce with 24 gauge power conductors should perform better, and this Tronsmart cable with 20awg conductors should be even better, but isn't available in anything greater than 6 ft.

The Anker PowerLine cables are good quality mainstream cables, but there seem to be some inconsistency in their marketing. Some diagrams show 20awg positive power conductors, but not equally sized ground conductors, and the product listings themselves don't quote any specific gauge - just that they're "designed with a thick wire gauge".

As for length, as I am sure you know, the rule is to use as short a cable as you can get away with.

Unfortunately I don't have any data or rules of thumb about how long is too long.

I highly recommend looking at the One Plus One. Its 300-349$ but you are getting a great phone for that price. Its specs are on par with most high end phones that sell for 600$+

The Moto g is a great phone for about 200$

if you dont want to spend as much I've heard the lumia 520 (or 521 or 530) is a good pick for under 100$ or the 630 for about 100$ is good to.

If you need anything else just ask

Only one port, but good otherwise. Good luck finding a 6000mah powerbank that has QC 2.0 and two USB ports. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0193B5VVY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wL0sxbAH8CF9R

VicTsing Clip Supreme Fisheye Lens + 12X Macro + 24X Super Macro 3 in 1 Lens Kit for Apple iPhone SE 7/ 7 Plus, 6 6S/ 6 Plus, Apple 5/5S/5C/4 HTC Sony LG (No Dark Circle by the Fisheye Lens) - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0155X4DJA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ojNvybCM96KTC Its advertised for specific phones but that is irrelevant. It works on all phones because its just a clip on. Some of my friends have purchased them in the past and it definitely works on all devices, including the Moto G4 Plus

Somebody needs to say it so here goes. Dependent on where and how you can get it the Phone with the most bang for the buck rn can be the lg g8. It's selling for far less than other flagships. It has the best audio output and a physical headphone jack. It has an underrated camera and since you're in Europe, I believe you even get 3 lenses on the back. I just picked one up for $390 Us dollars brand new in box. If your not at the very least giving it a look you're doing your self a disservice. I made a post with some helpful videos that I found whilst researching for days on end if you want to take a peek look here. 407 euro on Amazon UK

If battery life is why you're looking to replace the phone, maybe look into replacing just the battery since the G4 has a removable back. On my G3 I used to run a 9000mAh battery similar to the one from the product linked below. Zerolemon is an excellent solution if you don't mind a bit of extra weight and size.

I agree, OTG is very under rated. Thanks for this! I use an OTG cable for my Samsung GS3 and My Nexus 7 2013. But I didn't know they had Micro USB Flash drives. Learn something new everyday.

I found this Kingston MicroUSB FlashDrive on amamzon. I'll probably purchase. It's only $13.95 for 32GB

What kind of budget u have?

The best budget smartphone in the world right now is the Redmi note 3. For only $200 you get a FullHD display, gigantic 4000mAh battery and a 13MP camera. It runs android so it should suit all your needs.

Moto E which is a little over $120:

Moto G which is $179. For the price cannot be touched.

Both have SD Card slots and work on AT&T. Also, they are unlocked so there won't be a problem switching carriers if you ever decided to do-so.

You could use an L bracket for a camera that would give you 2 shoe mounts.

Then pair it with some sort of clamp like this

maybe you can get 3-Pack micro usb braided cables for $5.99

It is available in the US. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017IOHGTI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HRhJxbCR39P36 I just don't know if you can order it from this site living in the UK

Unfortunately, I do not have Amazon Prime :(

What do you think of this one? Its the 3rd highest BestSeller on Amazon's Unlocked Phones and is only $60 and works with TMobile:
