To be honest I think more people shit on Samsung here than praise. Only person that I can even consider a Samsung Astroturfer here is Faceless but I've also seen him shit on them as well.
Gave up on that. Luxury cars are fickle about that.
More rubin phone tease.

Forgot its supposed to have modular parts.
I see some. But that doesn't mean anything given I almost never see iphones (and it seems to always be pre iPhone 6 ones - 4s and 5s). I've also yet to see a curved screen Samsung phone in the wild. Also yet to see a pixel.
I think it's simply that being in a lower income / non techie area that people either don't update often or buy low cost phones.

Everyone remember that time AJ predicted Essential's phone?
Outside Trumpland.
It's most likely mounted on the bottom or it's on the top and it's covered by his hand in that teaser.

Lmao. Reminds me of how the verge comments section would always be flooded with WHERES THE WINDOWS PHONE VERSION for every article on a new app.

I see alot of people including these with their phones on swappa so someone must buy these. Seems like the most pointless thing in the world.

people put them on cars now too
I did it for the grip and it didn't help much. If they do design proper skins with good grip, there's nothing wrong with them.
I use the thinnest case possible with grip. I don't drop phones.
I get very sweaty hands thanks to my hyperhidrosis and I don't think skins would be the best option even though at least one person in the last OT said they had no problems with theirs.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I'm curious how much they pay, too. I bet it's a lot.
I bought one for my Nexus 6. It saved it from being so slippery. It's really quality, too. I almost always go careless but N6 was a behemoth and slippery in the white color. Had to skin it up. No regrets.
I might skin my new MacBook One. Curious about the new model's colors. I want a bright yellow skin over my matte black hardware.

Most cars are Android Auto and CarPlay compatible these days.
Except Teslas, because fuck everyone when you're the only guys selling electric cars which look like cars instead of Kia Souls.
MAN. It's insane. dbrand is locked in to like every tech Youtuber.
Skins are terrible.
Hard to find them on luxury stuff that aren't American.
BMW does support carplay, think their spokesperson laughed when someone asked about android auto.
BMW and Apple go a long way back. My friends BMW still has the old Apple connector cable built into the car lol.

Well don't buy shitty Bimmers then. Mercedes and Audi support CarPlay and Android Auto.
There's a world outside of the US, ya know.
? I didn't say it was ok, now, did I? The question was Sony has fingerprint sensor?
...and Toyota.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Meanwhile Boy AJ redeemed
Latest rumor is Apple has the fingerprint scanner in the screen working.

I gotta be honest.
I don't need to use maps, but a couple times of year.
So just regular in car BT is fine for my needs. I can listen to podcasts/music and field the occasional call.
That's all I really want/need in my car.

This phone will look so sexy.
AJ can you test out the Huawei Nova 2 for the culture? The culture of people waiting for the perfect android device that is.
Samsung announced the Galaxy Feel exclusive for Japan. It comes with a 4.7 inch HD display, type -C, 3 gigs of ram, 3000 mah battery, quick charge, and has NFC.
I'm leaning towards 5.5 inch flagships because all the 4.7 and 5.2 inch flagships have too many compromises.

Not if the leaks are true with the weird rotated camera
I haven't used Android Auto, but I guess it makes it a lot easier to change what you're playing and going through contacts.
Android Central seems warm to the HTC 11:

Sorry for the mobile link. Dunno if I'll take the L for the thread though...🤔

Curious if anyone here plans on getting an HTC U11.

Eh, doomed either way. It doesn't seem bad to me. Just weird because of the current design.
Also iphone won't ever be sexy until they revamp their OS look again.
IOS 10 kinda looks terrible with the weird squarish bubbles.
