Same here both were in stock when I ordered. Finally got someone on their phone support they pretty much refused to tell me it's backordered. She kept saying my order is in fulfillment status at warehouse waiting to be processed.

Guys, I will some software help
I am trying to overlay speed/location info on the some video I shoot.
At first I thought of making a mechanism tripod thing to point a gopro camera to my runner watch. I can then do picture-in-picture overlay in Premiere.
Then I realize maybe I can make a video recording of a speed/runner app directly on an android device, maybe even do video record of google map for extra effect.
I know it's very easy on PC. Can you do it on Android? What's the best app and what kind of lag are we talking about?

XZ is better than the Z5
You can use DU recorder to record your screen

OnePlus sent me an email with a $5 coupon off for the delay. I guess it's not bad, but $5 is nothing. They've also stopped putting the $5 codes in the box with phones.
That's almost insulting. $5 is $5 I guess. They could've very easily just sent you nothing.

Yeah I don't know who $5 would please really. Their accessories are overpriced so they are still making a ton of money if you buy something like a case. They should give free cases to people.
Use it for op6
I just use the ones that come with my s8.

Aren't those buds just repurposed Xiaomi ones? Or am I thinking of something else?

A $5 coupon doesn't make sense when I can buy another phone and get $20 off an accessory with referral code. Then just sell phone at cost. Headphones could be a good option to basically get free with phone purchase though.
6x seem to have way better specs

It's really light isn't it?
I saw this $5 thing and yeah thats a shit voucher to give out especially the way they rose the price of the cases :/ luckily I used a referal code and got the carbon case for £4 which is was really worth but I can't help but want the sandstone.

Waiting for the Plus too. I'm ready to replace my S2. Although I love it I would like all my devices to be USB-C.

The walleye rumor sounds so god damn stupid that I firmly expect it to be true. If they both really are true the hardware is a damn mess at this point.
Good luck breaking even a million when they are going against the S8 and iPhone j8sus.

Nothing about the Taimen makes me interested in upgrading from my Pixel XL. Will there even be a Pixel 3 in 2018 at this point?

What the...no front firing speakers on the Taimen? Lame as hell.

It will sell under a million units either way. There's no demand for Pixel at all.
The marketing was horrible for average consumers. So many people think it is a Verizon only phone. To me it's just a really poor value.
Unknown Soldier
Member
Well I mean the marketing is horrible because what is there to market?
"Stock Android" means literally nothing to the average human being that has a smartphone. You might as well market your new car as "Just an engine and wheels, it's all you need!" and get the same lukewarm response.
It's a poor value because they are charging as much for a very bare-bones stock experience as Samsung charges for every bell and whistle they have thought up for the last 396 years. If I had a choice between less and more for the same price, why would I choose less?
Pixel will never be mainstream in much the same way Linux on the desktop won't ever be either.
Facts
We've argued this before thousands of times - back to the Galaxy Nexus days. The idea of a barebone smartphone is a poor one. Which is why nobody bought the HTC 7s and Galaxy's with stock Android. Remember those?
Still... it's nice to have the option. Right?

And the world ends at the US borders I guess.
That said for normal people there's no value in any smartphone above $200 or so. Even thats a bit pricey. Most people I know use sub $100 phones.
yeah pretty much in the US, its either carrier installment plans for iphones and samsung, or buy some cheap stuff through carrier or unlocked.
Chinese companies tried to get into the US last year with some budget flagships at $400, but the lack of any news on anything for 2017, doesn't make it seem like they did that well.

There's going to be one announced in Sept. XZ1 compact

Forreals if mine didn't have such shitty battery life I wouldn't have bought this shitty G6

This dam battery replacement I ordered better work. Mine is shutting down at 70% if the camera app is opened
Sony are making a proper flagship compact this year, they'll announce at IFA.
The Pixel 2 sounds like an utter train wreck. Google fixing those supply issues by making it as unappealing as possible.

what the.. this is trash, if true.
Man, where do I go after my Nexus 6P? I want no bezel.
Phase 1) Rumors: Google is trash! Fuck them!
Phase 2) Leaks: Google is doomed! Ugly, expensive, bad! Doesn't have SD card!
Phase 3) Reveal: Wow, awesome!
Phase 4) Release+5month: Best phone evarrrrr, FU skinned Androidz!
Phase 5) Buy Galaxy S*, shit Google Phone!
Phase 6) Repeat
So it has begun. Every single year it's been the same. EVERY!

Yep it's a good phone. Doesn't have the sexyness factor of Samsung stuff though.
I don't think step 3-4 was a thing last year. Was always ugly and expensive lol.
Maybe Google just removed the headphone jack because HTC' old design didn't have one.

That LG AMOLED rumor is interesting. That can mean it's not pentile, but I'm not sure how good LG's brightness and efficiency is.
There was always the "but it's the fastest phone" comment about how smooth it was.

This is great news, if it's not interesting I'll just take my chance with a larger phone now and get the OP5 I think...

So apparently oneplus 5 doesn't even have 2.0 optical zoom. It's 1.6 and rest is digital zoom. Focus on cameras and don't even give a good camera.
If Taimen is a taller aspect ratio, it's my next phone. I don't want an enormous phone, but something just slightly bigger than the S8 would be perfect.
It's a shame that the smaller Pixel 2 is getting gimped. One of the best things about the OG Pixels is that they are identical outside of screen size and battery.
No OIS either, even though the previous phones had it.
Not really regretting my late 3T purchase.
