Damn T-Mobile stopped sales of Note 7 today. Sprint and Verizon will surely follow tomorrow. Samsung stock is going to tank.
Well, the XZ is pretty good, though $50 more than what you want it at.
At a higher price? Honestly, I dunno. It's in the running for the CPU and sensor, sure but the competition have OIS and expandable memory, and in one instance water proofing.
This is a good option too- true. Which falls in line with waiting to see what an S8/ Note 8 offers.

I know, but I guess I'm looking forward to upgrading from my 6P. Still a great phone, but still.

More like $200.
Upgrade when you need to. lol
He said $650, the phone is $699.99. It also cost less to import (~US$580.77 inc shipping) from the UK

It's going to be an iPhone vs Pixel future. Samsung won't be able to compete unless they get Tizen up to par.

I'm just saying the ZX is priced $200 more than it should be.

s6 came out last year lol. It is fine powerful compared to this year. S7 edge would be my choice as I do not care about only pure software but overall value of the phone. Sd card, edge, water proofing and beautiful appearance is what I like in s7 edge. If you can wait obviously wait for s8.

Yeah the s6 is still a good phone so i dont see why upgrade so soon. I have an s5 and will probably upgrade to the s8 when it launches.

nerds acting like normal people buy phones online.
LG V20 has a better chance at taking that spot.

Just BC the S6 isn't super old yet and avoided the 810 doesn't mean it doesn't leave anything to be desired.
Battery life in the S6 has been subpar since day 1.
I can see it being priced $100 more than it should be but $200? lol
It will drop in price in a couple of months too.

What would we be able to do? You are using an unsupported phone on Project Fi. Either buy a Project Fi compatible phone or leave Fi for Tmobile.
I don't know why you would choose an axon over the Pixel on project Fi anyway. You lost 2 of the 3 Fi carriers, free public wifi encryption, wifi calling, and customer support from the carrier. I would be surprised if your visual voicemail even worked.
Was this just a temporary thing to get you to a different phone?
just hope its not a jeep!

Thanks. Phone dialer doesn't want to install over AOSP dialer in CyanogenMod 13. Guess I'll wait on it.

The only issue is, is that Sony phones never really drop much in price.

Man, I should've bought a Note before they stopped selling them. I probably could have gotten alot of free stuff from Samsung and a refund.
The Pixel phone app, keyboard, and calculator all installed fine on my 6P. Just waiting for them to get assistant working now.

has calmed down a bit.
Why would you guys WANT a Note 7 now that even the replacement phones are catching on fire? Is this a joke?

rip the guy I sold mine to on ebay ;_; 7
performance is an issue, but I'd still argue that the note 7/s7edge devices are the sexiest phones out on the market.
Because i didnt want to pay a $300 tax for a Google Phone?
Everything works great other than a minor quirk.
I don't care about Wifi calling. I don't care about Sprint, and its still cheaper than TMobile. I've never used customer support on any phone, or plan.. ever.
the s6 is good enough, my opinion wait for the S8
after the Note's fiasco probably Samsung drop the price of the S8 or/and make it more atractive

Your text messages don't work right and you've came back here twice looking for help because you actually do need customer service and can't use it.
Doesnt sound like a minor quirk and doesn't sound like you never need customer support.
Hey man thanks for the help. Was truly awesome.

Just now seeing all those Pixel camera samples and damn they look great. It's nice to see Google taking this aspect seriously now. I'm glad the 6P/5x wasn't a one-off thing. They still need to add all those manual controls like LG and others though.

Sure thing. We work magic all the time around here. Got a RAZR flip phone working on Verizon LTE just the other day.
No sweat.

The obsession over being the best at everything continues to haunt Apple. You don't want to be the best at exploding phones, Tim!
If the camera ends up being as good as it seems it's going to be, you'll be saying OIS SHMOIS.
Blegh, don't know what I want to do now. I was thinking of upgrading my G3 and was originally going to go with the V20, but I didn't realize it was going to have the same guts as the G5. So now I'm second guessing myself and wondering if I should just get the G5 since it's pretty cheap used right now or if I should just wait for news on the G6, or if I should just suck it up and get the v20 anyway. The main thing I want is a device with a replacable battery, but something more like I have now where it's both extended (my current 2 are both like 8000 mah) and replaceable and the v20 fits that bill. But with it being the same specs and the fact that it might be a bit too big for my hands makes me wonder if it'll be worth it. I guess I'll check it out once it's in stores to see how it feels.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Seriously now? Huh?
What time period am I in where people act like the premium build, camera quality of the 6P never existed? Where the Nexus 6 on carriers and premium price never existed?

Bruh, what are you talking about? I said I'm glad Google is taking photography seriously, and that it wasn't a one-off thing with last year's phones. What does that have to do with price and build quality?

The Nexus 6 was a good shooter with updates, too.
Just using your post as a platform for all the discussion about Pixel being some whole new world. Sorry if it seemed like I singled you out.

It's all good, dude. I didn't know the N6 camera was considered good, which is why I brought up the 5x and 6p.
