i have one Jazzy, i'll break it down for you like this.
Pros:
Fast as hell (didn't try gaming)
Fast fingerprint scanner (acts as a button that has shortcuts)
Good enough screen
Good enough battery
fast charging,
great size for one handed use
Cons:
if you want any form of stock android stay away, I got used to EMUI quick but its got quirks.
Seems like it can take up to a week for a new one. Are carriers doing loaner phones during that down period?
Android police was shitting on the notification panel hard. You have any issues?

If the new Nexus
actually Pixel
The 5x gets 2 hours of sot, has 2 GB of RAM, a tinny speaker and cheap oversized construction. It's a great value phone but switching to it at this point is not intelligent.
Just wait for the new phones before worrying about any of this.

not really,yeah it looks like iOS but for the apps I have installed it didn't cause me any issues. I can see how some people may not like how the notifications are formatted, some of the notifications were squished and looked odd.
YouTube emui 5.0 for the p9 they are changing up the notifications quite a bit. I actually like emui, it goes all in on its ui. it doesn't try to be partially stock and then look like shit (Axon 7).

3200 mAh battery? What are we doing? Since it's LCD tech the battery should be bigger to hang with the OLEDs.
Nice otherwise.

Thought the battery was supposed to be 4000mah?

All this talk about the sound quality I can't wait to laugh if it ends up performing worse than the Axon 7. I hope nobody suckers themselves into buying this thing given that LG's last 3 phones have all encountered boot-loop issues among other terrible QC issues.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
The price thing seems to be on purpose which makes me think uh oh.
If the price was really good they'd be trumpeting that fact.
Expect it to be $600 minimum, and probably more like $700 at launch.

Prob $650 at least since the G5 was around $630-$650.

Only reason I said more cause it's a huge phone with 64 gigs of storage. LG Samsung and the like still like to up charge for the larger screen and storage.

V20 will probably be $250 or less within a year. LG phones all tank in the resale market.
The idea of carrying a battery around with you 24/7 sounds frightening.

that's what i used to do with my previous phones.
actually, that reminds me, i need to take the spare batteries and plug-in battery charger out of my bag!
why not get a nexus 5x? similar price.
2GB of ram won't cut it for the amount of accounts and multitasking I'll be doing.
FAA considers banning the galaxy note 7 from us airlines: http://www.phonearena.com/news/FAA-...y-Note-7-from-flying-on-U.S.-airlines_id85084
Welp, we've hit wtf territory

well moto x pure has better specs than the g4. They are slacking on updates though, but you can always go custom roms. Also for some reason the 16gb has like 8gb of room free out of the box. It was complaining about low memory within days of normal use and no big games installed.
If you can find a 32gb, get that.
Would have been 'banned' a while ago if Samsung actually went through the proper recall procedures lol.

Wait for the Pixel phones in 4 weeks. Moto sucks now.
If you absolutely must get a Moto than get the Moto g4 plus hands down.
The Xperia X Compact.

So, I replaces my stuff stolen phone with a Blu Energy X2,yeah it is a budget phone but the build quality is nice and the battery is a beast.
I've been constantly on the internet watching videos ect, for 5:30 hours. My battery only went down from 65% -> 20%.
So not even half the charge was depleted Ed with heavy use constantly over 5 hours.

"Cost reduction and it's changeable" is probably what they were thinking

Apple is today 1 PM Real Time (ET)
Sony (PlayStation) is today 3 PM Real Time (ET)
Google nor Nintendo have announced press dates yet. Expect more information to come from both after Apple and Sony get out of the way.
The XZ seems alright. It's at least very pretty.
You missed the big one. Thursday, September 29, 2016 from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM (PDT), Amazon of shopping fame, announces PC GAMES.
Everyone was smart to keep out the way of that one.

I can feel AJ's energy rising from here as the countdown to his glorious headphone jackless future is incoming lol
the current Samsung galaxy design is 2 years old now. Whats the odds on the s8 missing that headphone jack?
I'm feeling pretty low. Samsung didn't rip off the 3d touch, they seem to be doing their own thing now. Wonder if they will still keep the glass back, probably for wireless charging?

AJ getting ready to jack off.
i hope that after note 7 battery fiasco they go back to remobable batteries. It is not only a matter of having a spare one, but it is really a 'feature' to consider if you plan to keep your phone for + 18 months, since it seems fast charging really harms battery longevity and i'd rather buy a new one than send the phone to replace it
