Android |OT7| Now With a Whole New Messaging System

Is there a decent android phone for around $100 just to mess around with and runs the last OS? I know of that Amazon Prime BLU R1 phone for like $60, but there's probably a better bang for your buck for a bit more.

Not sure if there is a $100 phone on nougat yet in the US?

Maybe when those Nokia Android phones come to the US.
 
Just finished checking out the G6 and S8. Actually preferred the look and feel of the G6. Maybe when the price drops a bit ill jump in
 
Good grief. Seriously?

LG is REALLY trying to get people to buy it over the S8. AT&T is offering a free google home I think? Verizon is offering a free TV. I believe one of the carriers were offering both.

The g6 looks nice. What are the impressions like? Better than the s8?

I see a lot of folks praising the G6 to high heaven but leveling quite a few criticisms at the S8.

I think everyone should try and get their hands on one in a store though before making a purchase.

I found a G6 at a Verizon store and the S8 at a Best Buy. I went with the S8. I hope I don't end up kicking myself for it. They both seem like great phones.... I just really AMOLED displays over LCD.
 
If you can get a g6 for half off (sprint only for now but I can see other carriers price matching) . Definitely. At full price go Samsung.

Holy moly. LG is really trying to oil themselves up to look enticing to potential customers.
 
Can anyone help me completely reset my phone back to stock? It's a Moto X Play.
I wanna wipe everything and reinstall the factory image, since my main camera stopped working.

The tutorials I found seem way more complicated than my previous phone.
 
Aside from my display concerns with the S8, it was nice to look at. The curved screen is a bit impractical at times, but it looks and runs great.
The LG G6 on the other hand, feels a lot sturdier and I appreciate the more traditional looks. The size is fine too.

The S8 didn't dare to well in drop tests I saw.

This. Makes it not really a straight BOGO.
Carrier deals need to be scrutinized to hell. I've worked for most of the major carriers in the US before and been in meetings with important folks.

Every deal will get you paying for that phone back one way or another.

Except maybe LG phones. They just want to push those out because they don't sell lol.
 
Anyone seen that s8 vs iphone 7 video going around. The speed test ends how you imagine. Qualcomm lol. Optimization lol. Imagine the 8.

Oneplus 4 should fair better.

Definitely in ram management. Expect similar issues with rendering and app loads vs ios though.

I'm more curious about touch latency and scroll stuttering on the galaxy.

Waiting for xda review.
 
I just wish google would've launched the pixel xl on Tmobile. They finally made THE phone that has the camera, speed, and responsiveness of iOS I wanted and they lock it to Verizon. Here's to looking at oneplus 4 or Pixel 2.

Uh, the unlocked version works just fine on T-Mobile? Like, that is the whole point of GSM carriers and phones.

Wow. Is it weird I'm more jealous of the food and water bottle than I am of the phone and VR headset?
 
So anybody have any Chromium browser that still does sync of Google accounts for passwords/bookmarks?


Had to reinstall my Pixel XL and my TugaBrowser no longer syncs.
 
Here's a gift of our year old phone to celebrate our new phone you aren't receiving.
 
That's fantastic. How did you get that invite, anyway?

So how did you get invited to this event again? Was there some social media contest? Are you in tech media or run some YouTube channel?
 
Played with S8/S8+, they felt much lighter in hand than S7E, the aluminium and the glass material now feels rather plastic. I would have thought Samsung had changed material if i didnt know better....

I was also surprised my S7E has a wider(horizontal) screen...18:9 imo is crap.
 
Woah. Gear s3 was updated so Samsung rewards are applied to Samsung pay. Don't need a galaxy phone anymore.


I had a look and the carbon fibre effect they've added to that is gross imo.

Yeah lol. I don't mind it too much but I don't look at the ass of my phone much.
