Ask me about the GAF Notebook
How much is the Nexus 5X in the UK? If you can swing that I'd say get that over either phone.

Any chance you can get your hands on a Nexus 6? I mean, I love mine, but it's not for everyone with the size.
Still, I'd recommend a Nokia 3310 over a OnePlus just in case anything ever goes wrong and you have to deal with them.
Good call actually. Amazon warehouse has them for £232.67 and New fufilled by Amazon for £260.

Yup, quick charging portable battery
These are the ones I'm looking at specifically

The international nexus 5x has been constantly listed new on ebay for super cheap.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Porbably sales sucked cause it was broken. Now that they patched the issues tho I see no reason not to recommend.
I had a similar problem with my Galaxy Nexus years back, only the headphone jack got borked when I connected it to a sound system and it never corrected itself for some reason. Was never the same after that but I found this app, Sound About, which allowed me to control where the audio would output to.
If the Pixel C and getting full multiwindow into Android is anything to go by, I think the plan might be to just go full Android.
Tegra is an ARM chip though, not x86 architecture and runs Android, not Chrome OS.
Yeah, but they made Android work with all the ChromeOS weird BIOS/firmware stuff too. That didn't feel like a one off.
Either the S7E or 6P still. Sounds like the G5 has some rough inconsistencies in build quality.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
Man, the Marshmallow update has been loads better for the Galaxy S6. Making customizations in Nova Launcher is now instantaneous, whereas creating folders/widgets/tabs would lag for a few to several seconds. Switching between apps is also near instantaneous as sometimes it'd lag a bit before drawing up the recent apps list. Seems memory management is better since while playing a game, I can go into a few other apps and return to it without having it full refresh. Prior to that, I could simply navigate through the recent apps menu and then had back into the game and it'd restart.
It is.

Going off of what Android Authority is reporting it sounds like LG won't be selling the B&O DAC in the US or maybe not at all. They've removed it from the "Friend" page and supposedly it won't be sold in the US, Canada, Korea, and Puerto Rico.
Not to sure how convenient a modular smartphone is if there is only one add on (The Camera Grip) available for it.

Not to mention if the modules are even going to be compatible with the next phone. The answer is most likely "no", but considering the price they're asking for them, it wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Maybe they'll bring out a flashlight? Think of the convenience!

Anyone tried the new Voice Access app yet?
Xperia Z5 is the greatest right now. Yeah, I said it.
Fingerprint sensor on the side
Substantially cheaper cost for the consumer
Sufficient PPI for most people
Camera is one of the best from last year
Sony encouraged/supported AOSP community and Stock android beta program
microsd support

Google just dropped the March performance fixes into the April update for Nexus 6 and Nexus 9.

Just wondering if anyone here are using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro as I am interested in this phone mostly for what you're getting for a reasonable price. Just want to know how is the update with android and if they is any issue I need to know if it will affect my decision of buying this phone.
I used to say the same.
I ended up with a 6S and now a 6P. Sony doesn't bring confidence support-wise right now, sadly.
XDA has a fix for that I think.

Sony couldnt get their phones in US carriers enough (see Sonys history with Verizon). US carriers are killing smart phone profits which is in turn killing smart phones.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I switched back to non-sRGB after reading your post, for the first time since... Ever. I went temporarily blind.
I minute-one'd sRGB my phone when it arrived. Good decision.

My S7 Edge got an update earlier today and it seems to have fucked up my SD card, the camera app won't write pictures to it. Any suggestions without having to format the card??

Everyone returns to Samsung eventually. Because Samsung loves you. Why won't you love Samsung back?

Not surprising, my z2 5.1.1 already edged out s7e on apps switching. Which dont make sense as the raw numbers of s7e disk drive way faster
a friend is considering an upgrade from his old galaxy s2. He is looking for a phone below 300 that has a sizeable battery, fingerprint scanner and NFC (to use it to pay) . And if possible FM radio.
Nexus 5X is an option, no FM though
Honor 7, Huawei p9 Lite (still no price or release date), BQ X5+....
any other options?

Can you change the animation speed in the developer settings on the S7?

Yap already changed both to 0.5x but i must state I don't find s7e in any way laggy. In fact I feel s7e maintains a higher and smoother frame rates when apps scrolling and switching.
Just that z2 apps pops out faster, just by a split second.

HTC 10 impressions seem to be rolling out now
Seems to have the feature bases covered, although I'm not sure how much better 24 bit audio recording would be through a phone mic. Still can't believe they axed the front speakers.
Were HTC using LCD over AMOLED in their last phone? Can't remember.

Looks better than the LG G5 to me.

There's just nothing outstanding about the phone. Pretty much standard stuff for a current flagship.
Yeah, UK price is stupid again too. More expensive than an S7.

The HTC 10 looks pretty good, but if I was interested in spending $700 for a phone I do not think I'd get it over the Galaxy S7 though. Will definitely have to wait until full reviews before that is clear, but given HTC's past I feel like the S7 will still have the better camera, and you'll also have things like wireless charging, and waterproofing.
That being said I will gladly buy it as a Nexus in 6-7 months.

Same battery capacity as the S7, no waterproofing and no wireless charging either. OS updates aren't quicker on there either. Others might prefer the USB C port and the lack of a glass back. But for me, there's no real reason why I'd pick up the 10 over the S7.
