not really. Android can be overwhelming, don't try to take it all in and figure it all out at once. Try some apps, test some settings, don't go buckwild or it will backfire on you. Try out some cool shit that would only work on Android like the app Airdroid for example. Lots to discover.
They gotta fix that with the Note 8...

Maybe Samsung is pulling a fast one on everyone. Only explanation.
Also shopped image was based on evleaks real image.

Android Police has the LG Watch Sport priced at $350. That is compared to the $250 price of the LG Watch Style although you get more features for the money. That being said, I saw some talk on Reddit suggesting the Sport might not support swap-able bands due to some sort of conflict with the LTE radios. For reference here's the image of both watches again. The watch with two buttons being the sport.
Larger display that is also higher resolution.
IP68 Water Resistance.
GPS.
Heart-Rate Monitor.
NFC (Android Pay Support).
Supposed to have slightly more RAM.
LTE Support.
Two additional physical buttons.
Priced at $350
LG Watch Style:
IP67 Water Resistance.
No GPS.
No NFC.
No LTE.
Less RAM than Sport.
Priced at $250.

Not doubting that they would do it but the drawings are odd. The top drawing has the same length screen on the front as the whole device on the back. And do companies really use measurements in even and odd hundreds of a millimeter?
Has anyone found good reviews of the S7 or Huawei's Nougat upgrades?

nin-swappable bands?

Googy PLZ!

Lol, fuck off Samsung (Galaxy S7 Edge Int'l is still the best phone I've ever used, but this is pathetic)
because that's not where the index finger naturally goes?

The international version is cheaper in the US if bought unlocked.
Yes it is. Everytime I grab my 6p and forget about the sensor, my finger rests slightly to the left of the sensor (and probably slightly to the right for lefties.)
My finger is never anywhere near the camera.
Oh my god this video is so bad on many different levels...

My fingers often find themselves resting right on the camera on my Note 4 and I have to think about moving them slightly so I don't put fingerprints on the camera all the time.
I think a fingerprint sensor right by the camera would work out perfectly for me, if I actually got an S8. Which is unlikely, I hate Edge screens. I might end up keeping my N4 forever at this point if Samsung never offers regular screens ever again.

but there's no logo on the Sprint and T-Mobile versions and car dealers really do put their logos on the back of cars.
and god luck testing call and data performance of the international version on two of the top four US carriers.
it's not about the quality of the video, but it's the basic principles!

I've had no issues with S7 Edge using a very slim case, so that could be a solution if it bothers you that much.
DOA. Fitness and a little fashion are the main reasons anybody is buying smartwatches at the moment. The Style doesn't have a heart rate monitor wtf? The Sport could compete with the Garmin/Fitbit but lack of interchangeable bands (and so big/bulky) will limit mainstream adoption. Google needs to put out their Pixel watches by end of this year or they'll miss the boat completely.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Meh.
The general public still doesn't give a fuck about Smartwatches. Only thing they want is something maybe to track working out.

It's going to be fascinating to see if/how Google markets the LG Style. I don't think Google Assistant is anywhere close to being a marquee killer app, especially when the Style still requires a smartphone. But perhaps there's a feature of it they'll reveal at the event

Gear S3 is the best watch available right now for Android. Until AW 2.0 comes out at least and even then I don't think it will be much of a game changer.
Same.
Switched from my HTC 10 to iPhone, few complaints but mostly enjoying it,
Had a Pixel for a short period, but at the same/similar price outright I felt the 7 was a better purchase for me.
Interested in the Pixel 2 but also interested in the iPhone 8, likely sell the 7 nearer the time since I didnt jump on the upgrade programme especially If I go for the 8.
Hoping for better battery though with the 8.
The size of the iPhone 7 is just perfect for me imo.
Lets see if Android can pull me back this year.

The iPhone or the Gear S3? Lol.

I agree, the only problem I see is the app ecosystem.
The Gear S3, I want to stick with iPhone.

I agree, but it does notifications and the standard smartwatch things much better than AW. Plus it has Samsung Pay without needing a Samsung phone.
Impressive camera review of the Mate 9

I'm a crazy person who changes from iOS to Android on a quarterly basis. It's way past the return period. Yes, it's the frontier.

water is wet
Even then, what does LG offer that would make buying a G6 a good decision?

Does anybody know how to make it so an app is a tab on a home screen? I saw this at BestBuy on a demo. The tablet has multiple homescreens like mine but one of the screens is just an app(it was Flipboard, a news app) so when you swipe left, the app is there instead of another homescreen.
It's a widget that fills up the whole space.
quoting for new page
This is sad news =( I only use google now launcher, I hope other launchers will be as good as it is now.
They usually lose value quickly, so after 3 months you can get a high end phone with a good camera in the $400 range. At full retail value it offers nothing over what Samsung offers.
