Are you surprised? I didn't think they'd make it into the G6. Here's hoping the G7 has more

I tried an xl briefly and i didnt find it smoother than higher end phones. It actully had a few hiccups.
Also, i thought the camera is good, but all high end android phone are pretty much dead even now.
What i didnt like is that its an ugly phone and its dayam expensive for what it currently has. C'mon even the iphone is water proof.
I xl i tried had kinks...are they all like that?
after using touchwiz for a year, im kinda sick of it.
Also, Im tired amoled. After extensive note 4 usage, looking at an iphone 7 and xperia z5p screen was liberating.
The xperia z5 screen is GOAT too bad the phone itself is crap.

My last lg phone was an G2 that crapped out...roll the dice and using a v20 now..pretty sweet phone.
Only complain is the battery life...but its removable.
Also expect about 40min less battery. heck most of the time its clocked the same speed as the OP3 lol.
Wish the 3 was still available for sale (in the US). don't feel like the 3T is worth the price bump, but alas its the only new option.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
835 to be unveiled next week at CES.
Get ready
Get ready
hope its not another 810!
Was wondering if the 835 was going to use the 10nm process, seems like it. Then it's probably going to use A73 cores.
Edit: Wait, 10nm chips might hit 3GHz? http://www.gizmochina.com/2016/11/27/10nm-battlechip-snapdragon-835-vs-helio-x30-vs-kirin-970/

Fuck i bet people who ride the bus will love these.
Go to the theme store and apply material or dark material theme. Use Nova launcher and set up it as a Pixel launcher. You will now have a stock look and feel along with the extra features that Samsung packed in that's not on stock Android. I don't know understand why people completely ignore doing this. It's legitimately really stupid at this point.
Regarding the AMOLED screen, you go to display and set it to basic. This is what I've done and it's definitely a noticeable change as colors are natural. This is still the best screen on the market despite the iPhone having perfect color accuracy. The S7 series is nearly there as well on the basic setting.
Also, Samsung Pay is better than Android Pay and Apple Pay. Not even anything to argue here, lol...

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Lmao first thought is also how others will use it
Samsung pay is US only, unlike the other two. Because magstrip terminals don't exist in other countries.
So no.
Well it doesn't exist in almost every country, so it's easy to argue. It's so shit in the UK it's non-existent.

I've been all over the world and yeah, they do exist outside the USA. They exist in Europe, too. The cashier just has to pull out the hidden machine that no one ever uses.
Also, I was surprised London's public transport shuts down so early. Ridiculous. NYC has the worst but best public transportation.
So my Nexus 6P volume issue might be software after all. When the screen is totally off, the volume of my music changes on button presses. With the screen on, no effect or on screen notice. Going to do a factory reset when I'm home.
London's underground recently went 24 hour and there is a night bus service, so it's a lot better now. Unless you came over Christmas and it might be bank holiday stuff from 24th to 28th.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I wonder
A) How soon post 835 reveal will it be for the first device(s) to launch
B) How soon 82X devices drop in price
A) How soon post 835 reveal will it be for the first device(s) to launch

Are there any use cases for this thing that don't involve the user being a massive douchebag?
Maybe someone working in a factory/warehouse?
At home/on the beach
Weird, i can use Samsung pay in Spain but Android pay still missing in action and Apple pay only became available for a single bank one month ago.

Im well aware of the things you mentioned.
I used nova prime here and there but I always feel latency.
Even in basic color setting the white is yellowish.
I dont hate touchwiz..just needed a break from it.

Hey Android-GAF. I just got a new Pixel for Christmas and I'm going to set it up this afternoon. I'm coming from an OG Nexus 5. The transition between phones never seems super smooth, especially with MMS/ SMS. Any set up tips this go round?
When you first turn on the phone you will have the option to connect it to your old one to copy stuff over. I used it when I had to make an insurance claim on my first Pixel and it worked great.

Oh really? That's new-- thanks! Did it get everything or did you need to manually transfer anything else?
Only on select days, Friday and Saturday, and select lines. It's also crippled by the fact they have missed some large night spot areas such as Angel.

I didn't love their implementation of it in the G5, but why introduce modular accessories only to ditch them completely in the next phone?
I'm curious is Motorola will continue with them in their 2017 phones, they seem to have done a smarter job with it than LG from what I can tell.

Are you basing this on the way that your Note 4 display looked? They have improved every year on their display technology.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/10120/the-samsung-galaxy-s7-review/5
From Anandtech:
The next portion of our testing is the standard saturation sweep test. Here, the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge are basically perfect. Its great to see that Samsung continues to provide their Basic color mode with a real focus on providing accurate color calibration for those that care about these things, and the user experience with getting to the right color calibration is pretty much as painless as it can be compared to some other devices where things like saturation curves, white balance, and other parts of a display calibration can only be adjusted using unitless sliders that basically require a spectrophotometer to actually use.
You can also take a look at displaymate for their thoughts. Many displays don't even provide a truly accurate white. It's suppose to be a tiny bit warmer for true accuracy.
Yeah, I wasn't considering yardwork/outdoorsy activities. I can just taste the rage I'll experience when the first time I run into someone using one is at work, though.
The problem with Samsung screens is, that they're too good.
"LG says that it collaborated with DTS to bring a "realistic theater-like sound for a cinematic experience wherever you may be.""
It could be an alternative to a soundbar for your apartment?
idk.

Not happy about this, not happy AT ALL.
because you unlock your phone sitting on the table 70%+ of the time. Other than that, the back is the better placement...

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I wonder if LG will launch before Samsung or if Samsung will still be first mover.
I also wonder how long OnePlus will sit on the 3T vs moving to the 4.

$500+ US OnePlus gets its lunch eaten.
That's too expensive when you convert for the Asian market, and not cheap enough to matter against the big boys.
Plus with other non big boy choices these days OnePlus will get squeezed from both sides in the West.
Edit: Also as the price goes up nagging issues are tolerated less. See Google and the Pixel vs Nexus for proof.
