Update on that HTC phone for the 5 people still following HTC:

evleaks has like 0 credibility now with the whole HTC debacle last year. Not saying he's wrong, but I wouldn't trust whatever he's saying anymore.

And the Turbo doesn't look that bad. Take away the Verizon logo and it's an average looking device.

This adopted case is way better than I thought it was going to be.

The buttons fucking suck.

Too stiff?

Was this ever posted about the glass that Huawei used on the 6P being sourced by Sony?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

So that Tag Huer watch is hideous. Not only is it absolutely MASSIVE. There's this:

Great something else to worry about.

Too stiff?

Hell yea.

oh M10 already mentioned. I'm hoping for the best here

So after playing with it a bit, the Droid turbo 2 seems like a damn good phone to me. If only it had a fingerprint scanner and USB-C, it would really be great.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Hell yea.

Ah OK. I just got it so I might have the same opinion in a couple of days ha. But it feels sturdier than I thought it would be.

 

[Jigolo]

After seeing iPhone 6S NAND performance I've upped my expectation for next year Android flagships for that category, lol. I don't think any OEM will match that performance

That booty! My God!

 

[Aarglefarg]

It's the microfibre-backed adopted case right? The main thing I noted with its buttons is it is that much harder to differentiate between the buttons by touch since the power button on the case doesn't have the different texture.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Keep on with your superiority complex, though.

Spoiler

Nobody reads

Ya got me

 

[clav]

Get out!? When?

For a while.

Try Firefox!

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

So I put it on WiFi while I had 44% left and got 5 hours of SoT. I'm not sure why my cell signal is killing my battery life at work when I'm getting full bars. This isn't the first android phone that this has happened to. My battery goes from amazing to "I think my phone might be broken" when I go to work. This was happening to my One Plus one too(fixed by greenifying everything). The cellular for whatever reason is killing my Nexus 6P battery.

 

[cocopuffs]

I can't take this anymore I'm impatient, guys, does the graphite Nexus 6P look good or is it as drab as it appears in pictures ?

As far as I've heard, the graphite is the best looking version.

Looks and feels way better in person.

Damn I was spending all this time waiting for the Frost Nexus 6P to come in stock in Canada but that still hasn't happened so I might just....

 

[Bboy AJ]

Don't forget to enable the notification LED on the N6P. This phone is so baller. I wish it had wireless charging, though. Unnecessary downgrade.

Also fuck Android phones for not having the sweet iPhone displays that are fused to the glass. Those are so nice.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

So great friend of mine broke her iPhone 6 screen under her screen protector which was unfazed

Wat

How did she manage that lmao

 

[CronoShot]

Wat

How did she manage that lmao

I would assume a thin, flexible plastic sheet would give no fucks if it impacted the ground, and would do very little to absorb impact for the screen underneath.

Unless it was a glass screen protector. That would be impressive.

It was glass

So that Tag Huer watch is hideous. Not only is it absolutely MASSIVE. There's this:

Isn't that just the charging cradle or what else am I missing?

e:

Doesn't look worse than others. Sorry, I mean, it's ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE.

 

[nature boy]

Damn that Kirin 950 is a beast. Those Cortex A72 are lookin' good.

Yay, finally got the marshmallow update on my Nexus 7 last night. Yeah yeah, could have got the factory images weeks ago but I really can't be arsed with this unlocking bootloader, installing things crap anymore. I just want timely OTA updates as I need my devices to work.

Anyways, seems great so far. Now on tap is great, when it works. The app permissions is neat, everything else seems to be the same but a bit smoother. Might just be my imagination though!

I fully charged the tablet before leaving for work today, looking forward to see what doze has done. Saying that I have always found the standby battery life to be excellent on the '13 N7.

No its the other one. I wanted that one, I liked the look but it was sold out. The buttons are the same on the other case as well.

 

[brotkasten]

lmao

It's the plablet of smart watches. Totally acceptable in 2018, you'll see.

 

[Jzero]

Wtf, I'm getting almost the same SOT with my brightness being higher, might as well go bright.

I don't think it is, having done it straight away with the images I'm still of the opinion Marshmallow is significantly smoother and just generally better all round than Lollipop. I had one bad application crash yesterday but that's it.

 

[Maiar_m]

lmao

So what, you've got tiny hands and tiny wrists but BIG WATCHES WON.

Any Gaffers out there using that new Blackberry Priv?

AJ is the only Android gaffer rich enough to buy one.

Ha ha, they are kind of pricey. Im no rich guy, but I was thinking about getting one. I messed around with it at an AT&T store - its pretty slick. I was just curious if there were any first hand impressions from you folks.

 

[Peru]

lmao

I'm not a big fan of Tag Heuer as a watchmaker, nor of smartwatches in general, but you have realize that big size has been the trend in the fine timepiece market for years now - people want 40 + mm.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm a watch lover and I don't know if they're "in trend". It's similar to android where it just so happens that most of the good high end watches that are made are 40mm+ so people don't have a goddamn choice.

Also 40mm is totally fine for most people. That Tag smartwatch is most definitely a lot more than that. It's 46mm LOL. So all women are excluded and a ton of men.

 

[soundahfekz]

lmao

that is fucking absurd. Swear to god most smartwatches are the fedoras of the tech world

 

[Reckoner]

You guys talking about watches and shit

I just sold my Pebble Steel and bought a regular Braun BN0035. I figured smartwatches are useless for me atm and a regular watch would be better.

 

[Jazzy Network]

DOTD on Amazon is Sony Micro SDs. 128 for like $43. Just picked one up.

My 6P in graphite arrived today. Sexy phone and feels great in the hand. Love the aluminum body. Haven't had a chance to turn it on yet, since I'm doing a full charge first.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

For a while.

Try Firefox!

Before i do that, is Firefox better optimized battery wise for android compared to Chrome?

 

[Furyous]

Does AndroidPay work on any non Samsung, non Nexus devices thus far? It should work but are devices on the market actually using it? It would suck if devices didn't take advantage of AndroidPay until next year when technically it should work on any device with NFC. Really want to try it out with a Sony device later after price drops start. If I buy a Sony device through Expansys/Clove would I be able to return it if the carrier versions of the Sony devices come with better specs?

I need a new smartphone, refuse to go Nexus, need a strong dev community, but want something under 5.3 inches that isn't beset with some glaring flaw.
