Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that if you have Google Voice, it does not work with Messenger, only Hangouts. That's an issue for me.

I like Messenger much more than Hangouts.

Nothing honestly.
Camera app still is mediocre, but that's less stock Android and more Play Store app.

has calmed down a bit.
In a delta flight and the flight attendants announced that anyone with a note 7 needs to turn it off and don't charge it. Embarrassing. I read the FAA story but I didn't know they are getting called out in flight.
Same here. I flew with a regional airliner in Norway and the captain said the same before starting the engines.

Anyone know of any good $200 phone I can recommend to my dad? I'm usually on top of this but I've lost track of what's out there. Preferably something that's the size of the 6P
Moto G (4th Gen)
Amazon sells one with ads if you want to get it even cheaper.
There's only one option: ZTE ZMax Pro. $100, 6" 1080p screen. I bought two for family members and they are phenomenal.

The amount of bitching in this thread since the new Pixel news is either hilarious or sad. I can't tell.
I honestly see zero issues with premium phones that are using the most expensive processor. I would rather have it that way but I guess we are all different.
It's like the new cool thing to do here is to bitch about Google's phones. I liked it better when the hating was all on TouchWiz. Jk it's not a new thing and the TouchWiz hating was a different forum.

Is the left swipe to pull up the Google cards gone now? Not working for me.
It has to be flashed as a system app.

Really? I thought you were just supposed to get it through Google now which is too many steps anyway.

Or a G4, or V10, or OnePlus 2, or others.
It can be unlocked for $3-5 IIRC

Axon 7 for $355 from jet https://jet.com/product/ZTE-AXON-7-...-America-War/b65aa518f60942ad959b5cba16282538
Use code Triple15 at checkout, waive returns, and use debit card. This is the time to grab one fellas.

Google seems to only want to do one tablet refresh at a time which is stupid.
Seems like the new Nexus 7 is coming this year.
Google needs to do a regular and XL tablet like their phones on a yearly basis. Then people can pick small or large based on their preference vs having to wait years to get a size they want.
Installed 7.0 on my phone last Saturday.
shit that's a steal, especially for the grey color
Insane deal. Go get it guys. Probably the best overall phone you can buy this year at an unbeatable price.
I did this a while ago for my old S4. I called customer support and they gave me an unlock code for free. The prompt for an unlock code should appear upon inserting a non-MetroPCS SIM card.

Damn son, I made a mistake on my order and had to reorder a grey one. Guess someone lucky will be buying a gold one from me locally.
That GIF is reserved for Windows Phone users.
and the fear is whether the new Pixel C would be as good as the current one (I should really get one soon)
oh. so just a few days? how's our SOT like?
bleh. I keep reading the OS needs a week or so to settle

finally setup my mum's Note5 - why is Galaxy Store installing all kinds of software ._.

ZTE is supposed to be adding wifi calling for T-Mobile soon for the Axon 7. Hyped.
with how much google stalks you, you'd think they'd eat some of the cost of the pixel phones.
Seriously just walking to best buy today and my phone starts screaming at me about best buy deals and how they support android pay now.
I'm not even sure what settings turn those off.

yeah, huawei is coming for your lunch, curious how honor 8 is doing. seems readily available depending on color. The local best buy has some in stock.
If ZTE and oneplus keep having stock issues, huawei really should take advantage of this.
The moment Huawei starts making devices for Verizon and Sprint, Apple and Samsung are fucked.
yeah 1gb has reached its 'magical' limit on ios finally, after they gotten to big boy screen sizes.
the 4gb of ram on my ipad pro is ridiculous though. apps only restart basically never. Apps aren't even designed around that so stuff like youtube gets wonky if you leave it 'idle' for a day or 2.
Apps still relaunch a bit too often on my axon 7 though. maybe 6gb of ram is the magical number for android?
Think YouTube on iOS is bugged.
Have to restart (or appropriately turn off, wait, and then turn on) the iPad every once in a while in order to not crash upon launching or side loading.
You mean AOSP is the magic cure for Android. Everything flies with 2GB of RAM and daily tasks with average use under 1GB. No reloading waiting. I just wish I had a better SoC.

But in every iPhone thread I read ram doesn't matter because iOS is so optimized and then I'm shown cpu benchmarks as proof.

Usually 2+ years of support. Note 5 should also get next year's Android version.
do they push them out quickly though. how long did s6 get s7 features?
BoboBrazil

Usually about 3-4 months after the updates from Google.

Only the first year. Second year is closer to 6 - 8 months.
Some carrier's like ATT and Verizon make it even worse. Note 4 is getting Android 6 right now on ATT so about a year.
A minimum of 4h SOT.
