Question: since the Shield K1 is now discontinued, what would be a good Andriod tablet for emulation? I am looking for something under £200 that can run upto and including N64.
The GPD XD is tempting but I would rather a proper tablet as I can sell my iPad and I alredy have a Bluetooth controller from 8bitdo.
I have been an iPad guy for years so no idea what brands are good in the Android space.
I guess they had to discontinue it eventually, but man that was a great tablet for the value. I still have mine, it's practically new since it was replaced during the battery recall.
I think I'll turn mine into a little emulation device. May as well do something with it.
As for a suggestion, it's tough. £200 is what, about $270 USD? I can't think of any tablet off the top of my head that will pack the power you're looking for at that price. Maybe one of the Asus tablets?
headphone jack on the bottom is still hot garbage fam.
especially when you want to put the phone on your Official Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand with Adaptive Fast Charging while also using wired headphones.
Because I foresee myself continuing use of my Z3 anyway since it isn't XBOXHUEG, so I'm down to clown around/flash/brick/borrow my friend's JTAG with this thing.
Man, following 33-step .pdfs from the xda-dev forums reminds me of the good old days of last year.
Protips for anyone else with an R7x: celoxocis actually has some minor errors/omissions in his pdf.
1) The actual path to the modified aboot in step 24 is /storage/sdcard1/Oppo/emmc_appsboot.mbn
2) He neglects to mention that you'll need to enable OEM unlock as a developer option before flashing the aboot and attempting the OEM unlock over adb. This should probably happen along with the USB debug activation in step 17.
3) As usual, pandering to windows users makes it seem as though getting adb drivers installed and putting in terminal commands is very hard, when anyone on a UNIX-enough real OS will have no problem.
Anyway, here we are! Goodbye ColorOS! I hardly knew ye, and I wish it had been even less:
Seriously don't know why device manufacturers bother with their horrible attempts at UI/X. Just let the professionals at Google/CM/14-y.o.-who-read-the-Newton-HIG
this is STILL better than BOTH the iOS AND Android HiGs!

I bet the sales for the moto z aren't great, this really is the best time for moto, heck any android company (come on, HTC, LG) to use that marketing budget to get some sales.
So good for them. I want all the companies to strike hard. Also pay close attention to which ones pimp the fact that they still have a headphone jack.
The ones that are more mum about that probably dropping it in 2017.

It's a $650+ Verizon exclusive so it's likely not setting the world on fire.
Moto had the chance to go enter the 400 dollar budget flagship bracket with the Z Play but decided to gimp it with the SD625 instead of a SD652 . I guess they were afraid to make their midtier phone too good.
In other news, the latest Nova beta includes Pixel Launcher style Google search and App drawer:
Got a Nexus 6p yesterday (wanted to wait to see new devices, but my current phone died on me). I was puzzled that nouget was not available as an ota system update? I thought they were already rolling that out to the new Nexus devices?

Nova is just the best. Now I have the great drawer animation and design, no search button and finally use double-tap to lock without losing the fingerprint unlock after that. Best Android app ever <3
I've been playing a lot of FF Mobius lately and it runs like a dream on my Nexus 9, but like total ass on my Nexus 6P and I can't figure out why. I even tried doing a factory reset on my 6p and it made little difference.

I'm imagining a bunch of Google employees sitting around playing with their new iPhone's and then one of them goes "Wait were we supposed to be doing something next month?".
In terms of battery life, which one performs better: Xperia Z5 Premium or S7?
I'm getting sick of Samsung phones. I'm on my 3rd Samsung phone in a row and battery life is awful after a year of use. If the situation is different with the S7, I might go for it. I'm really tempted to try Sony, though.
(If the Xperia X Performance is a better alternative, let me know.)
