Nope. Default rom will always have the best camera software unless they ever get around to releasing the blobs.
There are some fantastic roms out there though. Sultanxda is notable around oneplus scene for really decent camera app. Also he underclocks the cpu in a way to minimize performance lost but with notable battery gains.
Do note that oneplus combined their oxygen and hydrogen (China os) teams which is why stock os is looking more and more Chinese custom android now than before which can be a turn off.
What a horrible "review". Anyways I really want one, but I also want a v20. Decision time: Op3 unlocked or v20 under contract.
op3 will let you save a few hundred bucks, snappier os, dash chargin is amazing.
V20 is basically better at everything else.
pick your poison?

For the money, I'd definitely say go for the 3T.

I'm more concerned about stuff like HD Voice, Wi-Fi Calling, or Visual Voicemail. Those dumb gimmicks that I'm not sure I'm guaranteed to get when I just willy-nilly bring over a random device I bought. I've never bought unlocked, so I wouldn't know what to expect about the whole transfer process and making sure it's all registered correctly on my account.
Oh, but that backlight bleed. It might be something I'll need to see from an actual functioning model to possibly deter me from buying it.

Yup. Get it repaired.
Edit: LG just e-mailed me on my 5X repair. What timing.
Defect: Power-Completely off
Payment Type: NOT APPLICABLE
Repair Results: Flash Memory
Sounds like a crap repair to me. Flash memory? Did they factory reset it? Replace the flash memory? Flash the already existing memory? Why did it take three weeks? Idiots.

I'm really glad that I didn't cheap out and get a 5X or G4. (inb4: Galaxy S7 explodes in pants)
Are the Nextbit Robin affected as well? I'm still thinking about getting one for the hell of it.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Square-Enix is having a Go Games flash sale. Everything is 99 cents. Go grab what you don't already own!

Unless you're a big gamer or really anal about video recording, the 820 and 821 are perfectly fine.
Besides, I don't think One plus will be the first to release a 835 phone.

I love keep pass. And it sounds like you don't need syncing. If you ever do, use drop box.
I use KeePass as well, and I keep my DB syned on Google drive. I have 2 factor authentication with Google so I'm relatively secure with this solution. Tried LastPass for a bit but just didn't really like it. KeePass is cheap and works great.
The 6P's back is so slippery that a case is almost obligatory.

Wonder if they did something like thata?

I'd do it myself, but fuck it, I don't have time to fuck around with my phone anymore.
I'm so fucking annoyed. I've been enjoying the 5x, especially since the 7.1 Beta, but this shit is just leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I still have the Nexus 6, which, I guess I should be thankful I didn't sell, but I'm gonna jump into a new phone
Looks like I'm going to be buying the Pixel or Pixel XL, even though I wanted to hold out till the Pixel 2.
Anybody know if Best Buy's version of Pixel is locked bootloader? I dunno why I care, since I don't really mess around with my phones anymore, but I still want the ability.

Yes all BB Pixels have locked bootloaders but if you order a regular Pixel on the Google store there is no wait now. 1 day of order processing.
Honestly, it sucks upgrading early but you will be glad you did. The Pixel is a enormous upgrade over the 5x. I used to have the 5x and don't see how I could have lasted the year on that thing's battery life / performance.

I understand what you mean. I thought the same, when I got it new.
But after being unable to find a case I like, I said screw it.
It's even worse with screen protectors, because most of them don't cover the whole screen, due to the rounded edges of the glass. It's a nightmare.
Well, only reason why I want to go to BB is because they supposedly will have a $100 off Black Friday deal for the Pixel.
Do I really need an unlocked bootloader though? Haven't messed around with my phone since the G2 days.

I've used it for two years on my phone. Why would it kill your battery?

I am guessing the deal is only if you sign an agreement with Verizon?
The locked boot loader isn't a big deal. What is a big deal is if Verizon hurts updates and / or the resale value is worse than the Google store model.
Both of those are unknown at the time though.

6XX series with Kyro cores?
Hmm, good point, that deal is probably only if I sign an agreement with Verizon....and that's an issue since I'm a TMo customer.
Regardless, I'll hold off until Black Friday hoping that Google does some sort of Black Friday deal...though I doubt it. The good news is, I'll only have to wait a couple of days to find out!

Does anyone know when Sony's going to get Nougat? Or what version are they going to get?
If I remember correctly, Sony tends to wait until the bugs are ironed out of a version before updating. That's how it worked with 5, anyway (Sony waited until 5.1.1 instead of pushing 5.0.2 like everybody else).

yes
huh didn't even know those are in stock. thought they were wiped off the market a while ago.
If you have a bit more money, the 'new' huawei tablet seems quite good for $300. better screen and apparently quite loud speakers.

Does nvidia still support their tablets?

I get about the same on my Z Play.

Yes, Nvidia still supports their tablets. Plus the Nvidia tablets are on 6.0.1 and have been getting the security updates.
shame they don't seem to be making anymore. Guess they are full production on switch now.
damn, I guess I'm set then. Ordered a G4 Play that comes into tomorrow and this should theoretically get better life than the G4. MKBHD reviewed the Moto G3 and the Moto 4 Play has this same exact internals except for a bigger battery and will get the Android 7.0 update. It's going to make it hard for me again to go back to flagship that doesn't have top battery life. That's why the S7 Edge is the clear option, lol..
Moto G4 Play has VoLTE and 12 band LTE as well.
I still can't believe that I lost three phones. FML...

It might be because they are making a new one soon.
