It'll be hilarious when the Android apologists change their mind on 3D touch. Just like I called it with fingerprint scanners, you'll all demand 3D touch soon.

Should be my new avatar.

Apple does great things. They push us forward despite being king of the industry. That's really fantastic. Usually the incumbent sits on the status quo.

I still wouldn't want a phone that had your entire input in its design.

The king is here

That battery is fucking insane. I want it so bad.

Why couldn't Sony had gave it a aluminium frame? Would've been perfect otherwise.

Not today you wouldn't. But you'd come around. Everyone comes around eventually.

you mean demand its in stock Android right? or demand its done the iWay? i agree,

also, people will demand split screen now that Apple has ushered in the usage and popularity spike, just like people demanded NFC after Apple made it popular. front cameras too!

edit: and reversible cables, can't forger that one. thank you based Apple!

Your problem sounds almost exactly like mine, except that I could boot my phone and booting directly into download mode is what allowed me to ODIN flash a bootloader/modem.

It sounds like at some point your drivers were recognizing the device. I wonder if you could push files via command prompt using adb fastboot method.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do this. I might google and read about it first.

Guys, do we know, if the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact has a better camera than the LG G3?

Given my negative opinion of split screen on my ipad I cant say I'd be calling for it to be in stock Android. Maybe if I had a 12" tablet it might be useful.

Got a Anker qi wireless charger today. I must say It's pretty cool.

I hope companies make the fast charging wireless chargers soon though. I don't want to pay $70 for a Samsung one.

Qi is going to be obsolete once WiPower devices start being manufactured. I hope that's soon though because my Nexus 6P is going to need one.

Yeah, WiPower is definitely cooler, but I'm curious how much those will cost.

3D touch is going to be awesome just like fingerprint sensor. It will take Android plebs a year or more to catch up.

Bit disappointing why Android makers still don't focus on 1-2 innovative features for every new phones they launch. Instead we are just getting bigger sharper screens, bigger mp camera, thinner chassis(at expense of battery life). Zzzz

No wonder i see people camping overnight for 6S launch, dont see that for Android phones.

3D Touch is useless and fingerprint scanners have been on an Android phone since 2011 breh. Let me know when the iPhone gets a curved 4K screen, 4GB RAM, SD card slot and a 20MP camera, pleb.

Google is so incompetent at mobile innovation that they forced their partners to do silly things like putting a 4K screen that runs the OS at 1080p on a shitty hot leakage SOC.

I just wished Sony would sell their waterproof tech to Apple so i can leave the pleb race. Waterproofing is the only thing holding me back with Android phones.

Got the OP2 up and running. What's up with these snapdragon 808 and 810 phones having a weird smell coming from them when you run them? Smells like some kind of chemical fumes it's emitting. It happened with the Pure and now the OP2.

The smell of disappointment.

 

[BoboBrazil]

The smell of disappointment.

lol. I could see how alot of people would like the phone. It's nicer than the Moto X Pure that I used a couple of weeks ago. If I wasn't coming from the OPO it would probably be a great experience. Just coming from most 2014 phones to one from this year seems like a side grade at best.

I meant the chips, not the phones, though yes, the phones are also disappointing.

 

[BoboBrazil]

I think disappointment all comes down to Qualcomm though. I don't see any phone using the 808 or 810 being a very good phone long term. 820 will right the ship though.

Can't say you're wrong. When was the last time Google came up with something that changed the way we used phones?

In really still not seeing it. Maybe I'm wrong, but it just seems to confuse the UI too much, and even Gruber's review indicated he was making mistakes as a result and it wasn't implemented where it would be useful (i.e. the still crappy iOS notification pulldown or as a shortcut to WiFi settings).

The only places it feels like it'd be useful are solved problems on Android (due to better settings and notification designs, and dedicated hardware buttons for cameras).

Guys, do we know, if the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact has a better camera than the LG G3?

Caveat - neither had final firmware when I used them, but the Z5C was as better at everything but metering, where it still has issues with bright lights in moderately dark scenes causing it to overexpose in auto mode. Focus speed shit all over the G3 though, and that really made a huge difference in using it.

Oh, and the HDR button still required you to move to manual mode. Arrrgh. *throws things*

peeps were worried cause no warranty

 

[brotkasten]

This was from evleaks, right? I wonder if it really was an actual design HTC was considering/prototyping and they cheaped out and went with the same design as the M7/M8, or if ev got played by a source.

I'm gonna say it was a real thing since it shares similarities with the Nexus 9.

That's the evleaks render, yes. He even doubled down on it. I can't remember what his explanation was when he got it wrong.

lol, just like apple has been doing. Yeah FP scanner some years ago, useful. Last year, let me check... bigger phone, bigger screen... o wait.
This year 3d touch.... so much praise from a few apple fans but yet to see something groundbreaking.
People camp for apple products because apple is cool. Just look at their awful watch.

well, remember 'retina screens' and the high resolution talk? ..... yesss oh they've bumped ram to 2GB and the camera to 12MP, There must be a reason for that. Maybe not....

No phone was praised for its fingerprint scanner before Apple did it. Bias or did they just do it better? You decide!

they did a great job integrating FPS unlike others.. Apples to apples. They do nice things, they do average things and bad or questionable things. Like most Android OEMs.

That reminds me, with all the jailbreaking shenanigans going on, how come that Android was never ported to the iPhone, after 1.6 to the 3G or something. I'd love to see that.

really? most known at least make nice phones. All of them, including Apple phones or Microsoft ones, do have trade-offs. Just pick yours.
It is just a matter of preference, some say Fingerprint scanner is high in their priority list, others will choose expandable storage, or FM radio. Choices.
Oh, and price too.

I'll probably sell it once I get my next Nexus. Or give it away to family. I haven't decided. I probably won't keep it.

I don't think there's much of a trade off to the iPhone, other than price. While the expensive Android phones still don't check all the boxes.
