the glass back that looks ugly af with fingerprints all over it unless you wipe it down every 2 seconds doesn't serve any purpose either
WRONG

Haha I guess your right. I mean the glass back that looks ugly af with fingerprints all over it unless you wipe it down every 2 seconds doesn't serve any purpose either but looks cool in review videos and marketing shots.
WRONG
makes antenna design more flexible
also, wireless charging
and yeah, it's also about all the reviewers who called polycarbonate 'cheap' over and over and over and why we can't have replaceable batteries anymore on premium devices
in a totally unrelated question, how come reviewers complain about the fingerprint reader placement on the GS8 but are not just *okay with* but actually cheering for the back button being all the way on the left just because "it's stock" ???
Ladies. The curves are nice in the hand until you put a case on it, which everyone does. Then the curves don't do anything​ except make it harder to type and distort the edges of the screen. I've never actually met someone that's a fan of the edges for use, but I guess someone at Samsung is a huge fan.
yeah, they're totally putting a huge battery in there after last year.
8GB RAM LOL
the screen size is probably in the ballpark
Just a few days in, but so far Nougat is running beautifully on the N4. Stutters every now and then, but way less than my old Lollipop install. I think the Flash storage is a little worn too and it was never very fast iirc.
Only issue is I fail the safety net test, but I'm going to see if I can fix that.
Makes me kinda mad Google stopped support so early. The iPhone comparison (they slow down a lot) is flawed because iOS isn't made for low end devices like Android and the newer versions are quite taxing. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of phones sold today with Nougat that run a weaker GPU, especially when you factor in the resolution.
My N4 has never been in a caseI wish I was rich enough to not use a case.
Depends on the iOS device. The 6+ was always a turd but the SE should run iOS 12 like a champion.
But yeah I was super bummed that the Nexus 5 only got 2 updates. Google cut support way too soon for their devices.
The 1 gb of ram probably didn't help. My 6+ always ran not amazing. Probably worst running iPhoneMy N4 has never been in a case
More the edge cases like 3G and 4S which came right before a big speed bump. IMO the 6+ shows just how taxing modern iOS is. It renders at "just" 1200p and its GPU still beat anything on Android when new.

Yeah. 6s plus fix those issues and basically the only thing holding performance back is the animations lol. 6s+ and 7+ basically the same phone. Just pick if you want dual cameras stereo speakers water proof or headphone jack basically.Well that was always an inexpensive phone! Having just spent £700 on an iPhone 7 (thanks Brexit) I am not going to risk going case-less and mine looks pretty nice anyway.
I remember the die hards trying to defend the 1GB of RAM even though the 6+ was a spluttery mess. Good times.
Guys on my lg g5 can i use duoble tap to sleep with nova launcher?

My OP3T has 6gb of RAM and sometiems I open an app after a week and it goes back to the exact same place I left it. 6gb of ram is huuuuuge nowadays, no reason for Samsung to do an 8gb Note 8.
Also, isn't the Note usually an bigger, updated version of the galaxy? meaning that the real big difference in performance/hardware comes always in the galaxy? specially after the note 7 fiasco, they wont risk doing a super ultra inovative smartphone full of new features. Probably just use a 836 (if there will be one) soc, and software features added to the ROM. hardware must be flawless.

Ofc, forgot about the RAM. Felt like Apple would never upgrade it back thenPeople seem to forget that it's a unified RAM pool too.
So like if you want to reserve some of the RAM for VRAM then you need the rest for apps outside of running the OS.
Plus obviously higher res screens could use more VRAM.

I installed AccuBattery this morning, one of its features is it can give you an estimation of the maximum capacity of your battery to see how much its degraded over time.
This is only on first charge cycle so it's subject to a bit of change, but my 10mth old Galaxy Note 5 has gone from 3000mah to 2381mah.
Degradation of 20% in 1yr.... That's bad, right? Where are Samsung sourcing these batteries from?
*galaxy note 7 joke goes here*
No, that sounds right. Assuming a roughly daily charge, Apple says that their batteries will likely lose around 20% with 300-400 cycles.

Samsung cycle is ramping up to be another good one!

That's a surprise. Iphone SE going glass back?
Guess the cycle loops around and glass is cool again.

Samsung also made it a point that the Galaxy s8 uses new battery tech to retain 95% of it's capacity after a year.

Glass is the best material to have wireless charging.
I thought their position was that they will replace any battery that drops below 80% capacity within the warranty/apple care period - rather than they expect to lose 20% of charge.
20% in a year sounds like a lot to me. Obv YMMV but my 7+ is about 7 months old and is at 97%.
So there it is???
Hype? Idk. Don't know what I need from a pixel 2 that would happen,like a good design.
Sold the Axon 7 for $280. Not bad when I got it at launch for $400 and Samsung level bluetooth earbuds and $80 gift card as preorder stuff.
So there it is???
Great thing about OnePlus and those Axon phones. They retain resale value. People are getting almost full value still for OnePlus 3 and 3T models on Swappa.
Seems so!
Mate 9 was hard to sell lol.
Was about $500 after it came out in the US already. Hyundai of phones apparently.
