I thought this new 'what's on' feature in the chromecast update was going to bring in all my subscriptions and likes from various services. But instead just shows me random stuff I couldn't care less about. Wackola.

Have you searched for anything after th uepdate? i doubt it will guess what you like before you search.

 

[The Faceless Master]

I thought for sure they were going to drop the price of the N6 today but nope, still $599 on the Google store.

you waiting for a pricedrop on the original Chromecast too?

Romain Guy is legit. Always see pictures he's taken on my cast screen.

 

[reKon]

wait, HTC had an event today?

They look really good. Can't believe it

 

[Baroquemantic]

6P Hummingbird Slowmo

Looks really good. Also would make for a great PS4 stability GIF or whatever.

 

[The Faceless Master]

I'd ask Legere. I don't trust the guy that runs T-Mobile's twitter account.

T-Mobile justs asks that they get the phone certified to run on their network. It's not that they don't support them. I actually get band 12 fine on my OP2, just no wifi calling.

so what happens if you have an emergency and need to call 911?

Er, that's really good

 

[Bboy AJ]

What's really not good is no 32GB white 6P. That's an extra $50 I didn't want to spend. Weak.

 

[BoboBrazil]

so what happens if you have an emergency and need to call 911?

No clue. I've never had to call 911 on my phone. I did receive and make calls on band 12 though.

 

[Lunar FC]

Have you searched for anything after th uepdate? i doubt it will guess what you like before you search.

Yeah, I just kind of expected that it was going to pull in my youtube subscriptions and videos off 'my list' in Netflix etc. But I'm sure the searches well eventually be tailored to me, that is the google way.

 

[The Faceless Master]

No clue. I've never had to call 911 on my phone. I did receive and make calls on band 12 though.

you may want to doublecheck that. Tmo doesn't support regular calling on band 12, the device has to support VoLTE. what happens is if there's another signal, the phone will switch to it or drop to 2g/3g if available. however, because band 12 has good penetration, in certain places in the coverage area you may have only a band 12 LTE signal and no other and you won't be able to call/text, not even 911, because ... oops, no Band 12 VoLTE. that's why other companies pull band 12 support and try to add VoLTE. it's not safe. but hey, what can you expect from OnePlus.

When I was on the call it still showed a T-Mobile LTE connection. Maybe it was using volte. Calls did sound clearer, but I already wrapped the 2 up to return to OP so I can't test it again.

 

[Argyle]

Google Fi is interesting, but I'm fine with the T-Mobile $30 plan at the moment, and I'm very confused about what would happen with my Google Voice number if I were to go Google Fi - apparently you are required to port it into Fi or something and lose Google Voice forever or something like that.

Yeah, it's very confusing. I have two numbers in my Google Voice account and I just want to try Project Fi, so I decided to create a brand new Google account and request an invite on that account. That way I get a new phone number (great because Google Voice has never had any phone numbers in my area code) and it doesn't mess with anything on my main account.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

wait, HTC had an event today?

No they announced an event 3 weeks out.

 

[Noema]

Zenfone 2 looks even better after today. $300 gets you 64 gigs of space and 4 gigs of RAM vs the 5X that's more expensive for less space and RAM.

There's also the new 4GB of RAM 16GB storage $230 SKU. Less storage but you get Micro SD.

Nothing can touch the ZenFone 2 in terms of bang for the buck.

 

[clav]

Is anyone concerned about the 810 SoC?

 

[mrklaw]

I feel it. 2017 is the year lol. Until then I'll grab the moto or nothing. I hope we get a sales breakdown of 6P vs 5X for big lulz later. I don't know why companies insist on smaller phones despite the evidence consistently showing that the smaller ones outsell the bigger counterparts by a huge margine every damn time.

5.2" is a small phone now!? This is getting crazy.

 

[danthefan]

My XperiaZ1 finally got 5.1 and first impression is performance is hugely improved, thankfully.

Haven't gotten into any of the other features yet, anything notable?

 

[kami_sama]

Is anyone concerned about the 810 SoC?

Nope, if properly used it doesn't heat up.

 

[co1onel]

I'm pretty disappointed about the 5X. The 6P looks really nice, but I don't think I'm willing to use such a massive phone

Spoiler

yet

Hopefully they make a Huawei 5 in. nexus in the future, with a nice aluminum body and better specs. I'll stick with my N5 for now.

 

[clav]

Proof? I've read a bunch of articles, and none of them really address the issue directly by comparing temperatures.

Has anyone commented about the temperatures in the 6P?

 

[tzare]

yay, could buy New Chromecast for 30€ thanks to a promo in Spain

Nexus 6P seems a really solid device. Can't wait for reviews, won't buy it but hopefully google improves next year based on it

 

[Phear]

So.. 480 € for the 16 GB Nexus 5x? That's ridiculous. Guess, i'll get a Galaxy S6 then. Sorry, Marshmallow.

I feel like Android has matured enough that you don't need the latest updates right away after 5.1.

At least I'm telling that to myself, while I look at non-Nexus devices and think about the software update support.

I love the Nexus devices and new software is always exciting for me. But if i have to decide between a 480 € Nexus 5X 16 GB or a 400 € Galaxy S6 32 GB... i think, that's an easy decision to make.

 

[Gandalf]

My trusty N5 is still going strong. With a choice of the N6P or the Moto X Style for my next phone though... I'm leaning towards the Moto. £100 cheaper with the customisations I want.

It's absolutely understandable. The 5X disappointed me as well and for €400, I'd probably get a Galaxy S6, too. Even if the battery doesn't impress.

If my N5 hadn't had the pleasure of meeting the asphalt front first 3 days ago, i would've hold onto it for another year.

I really want the 5X, but that EU pricing is ridiculous....

Wow, that's actually kind of crazy good

 

[Maiar_m]

I'm actually considering importing the 6P to France from my US employer. 450€ dollar to euros conversion...

 

[Pachimari]

I'm thinking of two options now.

A) Go buy the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge today. Or
B) Buy a super cheap phone now for my vacation and wait until Nexus 6P in Nov/Dec.

It really is, and no Play Store credit either is just extra galling.

 

[kharma45]

Nexus 5X is £40 cheaper through Carphone Warehouse than it is to buy from Google http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ph...dset?colourCodeBLACK&portal=AWIN&promo=118046

Still overpriced though

Can you find the 32GB? A search isn't even bringing up your 16GB link so unable to find the 32GB.

Edit: Just changed the 16 to 32 in the URL and that worked.

 

[BootlegSnackz]

So ars tech confirmed that the type c ports on both the 6P and 5X are both USB 3.0, yet all the cables on Google store only support USB 2.0...

What's up with that?

this is a fucking mess, this usb type C is just annoying, some are 3.0 others do not, cables are also a lottery. AT least hope those support quickcharging...

wtf it was supposed to be a new standard, not such a mess.

I can't see the 5X the link doesn't work for me :S is the 6P live yet on there either?

 

[kharma45]

No 6P, just 5X.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

No 6P, just 5X.

Ah well guess i'll stick with the play store

 

[kharma45]

It'll probably appear soon enough.

 

[Turin Turambar]

how?

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Seeing the pics of the white/Silver is making me want to change from the black.

 

[BertramCooper]

Android Police: Huawei is selling the 6P through its US website

Direct link to the Huawei product page

 

[tzare]

how?

check wuaki.tv promo , just today

 

[EmiPrime]

I just noticed that the Play Music voucher is for new subscribers only and the Play Store credit is for US only. No Nexus Protect either on top of the usual crappy US$ to £ conversion. :/

The battery will be the least of your worries if you get an s6. So glad I will be getting rid of it this week.

 

[Phear]

Oh man... Onto the LG G4 now...
