Decided to just extend my sim only plan by another year, instead of jumping for a new handset; gives me flexibility to just buy another handset when I want/need though.
I just didn't feel confident purchasing a Note 7 right now after the performance claims =/

S7 Edge, but in Europe... So nope?
was gonna say that Arrow's been around for a while, but this new update seems nice.
So microsoft has a launcher, lock screen, cortana, office suite...
If they ever do a Surface Phone, it seems possible to be android?

Samsung browser brah!
faster and more efficient than chrome, and works with adblock+ and have a fingerprint security mode. What more can you ask for? Oh yea, full screen browsing by hiding the status bar.

If they are gonna launch in Sept then invites literally have to be going out this week. You'd need a two week preferably three week lead time for press. Then if they phones launch a week or two after that's basically last week of Sept at best.
google doesn't care about those rules for maximum press exposure lol. The phones could launch next with an exclusive interview on TheVerge for all who care

That only happened once, because Topolsky and Durate are buddies.
I honestly hope so, MS makes some of the best android apps. Ironically enough.
Arrow is probably one of the slickest launchers I've seen yet
i'm still not a fan of how i have to scroll through like 5 pages to do stuff, unless im looking at this wrong.
Also getting stutter opening the app drawer.
Oh. It's actually decent? Well shit.

Home will probably launch around Nexus time or later.
Someone needs to get the Allo release date out of David. AP is using the app so wouldnt be surprised if they know when its dropping.
Firefox + ublock origin and problem solved. Of course remember to whitelist gaf.
Something about the font in Firefox bothers me. Does it use its own font instead of whatever Android's default is?
TugaBrowser beta is updated frequently enough. Has sync.

So OnePlus just brought out a new community build that changes the UI (makes it like Nougat), adds new ringtones and notification sounds and a butt load of other changes
Makes me wonder how long they've been building this and still they put out bug fixes for the other builds first.
I'm using it atm and while some things have changed for the better some things haven't like they got rid of the dark mode for a new one that's not black and just uses grey with a pale blue icons...it's horrible.

I've got the same issue on my Note 5, and others have reported the same on their S7/S7E. I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the August security update patch, as it only started happening to me soon after updating.
I've cleared phone of all my media and it still happens, seems to kick in after switching from mobile to wifi (or vice versa). Hoping the Sept update fixes it... :/
Who wants some V20?

I assume it will be launched at the upcoming event just like the pixel tablet was last year. Google Assistant too.

Nooooo at no Allo yet. I thought today would be the day smh
I hope the new Nexus is released without a keynote. Those are my favorite launches. Just send it to the press and lift the embargo in two weeks.

I can see this happening. No need for a big conference. Just get the damn thing out there

Huh? A big conference means more sales.
You won't get main stream news outlets to report on a verge exclusive unveiling.

Had an OP3 in my cart, but I couldn't pull the trigger.
Google save me!
Google save me!
Well I always thought allo would get an event simply because of how allo, home and android assistant are all toed together.
And for the nexi I could see it just to launch daydream.

At this point I'm giving up until the phones come. I don't see anything pointing to sooner.

You're probably right, since Assistant is key to Allo. But I figured since Nougat came out, we should be good for Allo

Trying to wait for Nexus, but it's so hard.
Plus I worry I'll have to overpay for storage.
It's 3-4 weeks shipping for the OnePlus doe

Battery life with Nougat on 5x has been crap and around 2 hours SOT.
Battery life with Nougat on my Pixel C is better than ever. Looking at 11 - 12 hours of SOT on this charge cycle.
I blame the 808.

feel like devs won't bother with Daydream until more info is announced.
Android authority did a quick comparison between axon7 vs honor 8, no full review up yet, but the battery life of the honor 8 seems pretty disappointing at least from this guy's test.
3hr 30min - 3 hr 45 min Onscreen time.
Jesus. The guy was getting mid 5 hr battery life with the axon 7 which is similar to me.
5.2" inch 1080p with 3000mah battery getting that low on screen time is worrisome.
Seems like the phone's camera is pretty great though. Possibly the best in the $400 range.

Has specific API for it from google and stricter specs requirement which atm seems to be AMOLED display, certain sensors, and snapdragon 820 or faster?
I assume more will be talked about around nexus launch.

what did LG say exactly?
and did they kill someone's dog because that seems like a bunch of hoops to jump thru to discredit them...

All these fucking options, no money to get SHIT. Like What the fuck..
Don't even know to grab a quick 150 joint or just save 3-4 for better.

Too bad that Google VR headset never came about. Probably a good thing, though, instead of their usual practice of a half hearted launch at $1500.
