I think the rumors are that the S7+ is probably going to launch around the time the Note 6 does, probably a bit earlier. It's either a 5.1" S7 or a 5.5"(or 5.7") S7 Edge.

Nothing too exciting there. Spec bumps for all. I've been really disappointed with how slow they are at updates even this late in the game. I still find touchwiz to be mostly garbage though Nova helps that as much as it can...I feel like Android flagships in 2016 are all going to be EXTREMELY similar.

Isn't this going to be the Touchwiz release where Samsung went to Google and asked for help to make Touchwiz better?
Samsung's the only one that's still doing it as standard aren't they?

Sony is still here
that's like counting a solid stage rocket with no payload as a shot fired.
if im looking to upgrade to a new phone on verizon, what phones should i be looking at? ill be coming from a moto x 2nd gen, and id like to keep the screen size around the same. although ive held the new note and kind of didnt mind the size, so phablets arent completely out of the question. not in a rush to upgrade, so upcoming phones (i have no idea whats coming) are also fair game.

So the first Snapdragon 820 phone is announced today, from LeTV no less.
It's too early IMO to judge the S7 camera's (megapixel) downgrade.
More interested in the quality of 4k video and the new Samsung custom cores in the SoC.

has calmed down a bit.
Samsung has the best camera on a phone, they already have a winning formula, not sure why they are going to mess with it rather than just refine it.
So, got myself a new toy:
After Android on mobile, tablet, Wear and now this, I feel like I should take apart my car and put Android in it as well, it only seems fair.
Anyways, anyone here have Android TV recommendations for apps, games, etc?
Also, I don't think this exists, but does anyone know if there's some kind of app that connects Philips Hue to Android TV natively? Would be awesome if I could get some sort of Ambilight action through Android TV.

I really want the new iPhone particularly for http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1166294
Please Google follow suit with Nexus 2016. No ugly ports. The fewer ports, the better. I'd be so happy.

You were wrong there, and you are still wrong here.

Sounds like another skip year.
But the S7 sounds pretty great, actually. 3,000 mAh battery and wireless charging. Might be my next phone.

Well, here's how we fix wireless and get the conversation started.
Plus, Apple Watch uses Bluetooth. I guarantee Apple also knows bt is garbage. They're likely working on some sweet wireless protocol. Maybe they'll open it.

Bboy AJ, stop riling up the people in OT with your talk of Apple removing the headphone jack from the next iPhone.
What's actually going to happen if Apple removes headphone jack is everyone will bitch about it, and millions of people will buy it anyways, and Apple's stock will go up. Then people will all spend $50 to buy a proprietary adapter for Lightning to headphone like the old shitty HTC phones used to have when they combined headphone onto the USB port, bitch about it, and Apple's stock will go up more. Eventually Apple's stock will go up enough that I'll finally be able to retire to an island in the Caribbean and spend the rest of my days peacefully sitting on a beach watching the sunset while listening to my Android phone using my headphones connected to the headphone jack.
The End.

It's a really great first Android Watch. Specs are still in line with newer watches so it still holds up well. Kind of lackluster in the looks department, but that isn't a huge deal.
Make sure you have location sharing on. The majority of surveys I've gotten have been because I've passed by certain stores during my commute or when I'm doing errands.

It's weird, for a few months straight I used to get surveys all the time on my nexus 9 + android phone but the past month I've gotten nothing. Not a single survey on any device.
Any of you cats fuck with smart home stuff?
Got myself a Smartthings hub for Christmas, and have been adding in-wall switches and zwave bulbs. It's pretty damn slick, and apparently even more powerful with Android controlling it behind the scenes, with the likes of IFTTT.
Having the lights on when I get home in the dark is baller as hell. Really wish they'd tie in some integration to my Arlo camera system that I went all in on, though.

I've been wondering about this since yesterday. In November and December I used to get surveys basically every day until around Christmas. In December alone I made almost 5 bucks, but then I stopped getting them at all after the 18th. I'm not really bothered by it, because there's nothing worth to spend it on, but it's definitely weird.

I don't, but I can recommend you the IoT podcast. It's mostly about the smart home/appliances/IFTTT and really interesting to listen to, even though I have no interest in buying that kind of stuff right now.

Yeah, I have it on pretty much all the time, but the fact that I'm not commuting for work anymore (used to commute 2 hours a day, but now I work from home) probably has something to do with it.
But on the other hand, I went to a ton of stores and malls around the holidays and still didn't get any.
Hopefully by having my alternate Gmail account on Google Rewards on my Phone, and my main on on my tablet I might get some additional surveys that way. Of course I'll probably have to use my alt account rewards just for movie rentals and my main account for apps and actual purchases.
