Support NeoGAF

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

If I knew VErizon would approve it soon I would consider the Axon, but as is, it's all a waiting game.

In either the PC mag or Android Authority review, the reviewer was able to use data on Verizon.

I love how a lot of the new blackberry previews written all have digs against motorola ("Blackberry promises monthly security updates unlike... motorola).

This new blackberry launch could definitely capitalize on this.

Also:

BlackBerry also promises to have a zero-day delay on delivering Google's monthly security patches. When I raised the point about "zero-day" being a common term to refer to severe software vulnerabilities, I was met with blank stares. This is what I mean about BlackBerry's marketing: the company finds awful ways to communicate good things.

lol.

Was the Z3v ever updated via OTA from Verizon?

I was under the impression that it was, there was definitely an update of some kind because there were reports of text messaging breaking earlier this year during one of the updates.

It seems that my trusty Note 4 is reaching its death...
I gotta ask GAF, the most trusted panel of reviewers and technicians, for advice on what to get next. I have three different features that I would like, though:

1- Stylus
2- Expandable Memory
3- Removable Battery

Is there another phone that's not a Note 4 and fits these needs?
Plz thx

I loved my Note 4, but as much as I loved having a removeable battery as an option, I never actually used it. But I won't budge on SD Card expansion (unless cheap 128gb options become available)!

I just just settled on that feature (since the G5 didn't seem all that great) and went with the S7 Edge.

Since you want a stylus, you should probably just wait for the Note 7, don't know of any other notable phones that have one or use it as well.

Lol wow. Phone would be damn near useless without a wifi connection.

 

[Jeffrey]

wonder if you can boot it into recovery mode to setup wifi? who knows.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Lol best phone confirmed.

Genuinely considering selling my GS7 Edge for the Axon 7. I love it, but i listen to music regularly enough that good audio would be a really nice thing to have. I use a USB DAC via OTG, but obviously a really good internal DAC would be more convenient. There's also the matter of front facing speakers, and a (potentially) unlockable bootloader. Little worried about the loss of water resistance though.

anyone here get one of these? I remember reviews seem kinda ok, but people not really sold on the cloud stuff.

for how much hype this phone is in this OT, surprised no one's posted about it in Off-topic, where Oneplus gets frequent threads.

Maybe when more reviews are out, or when people here start getting theirs?

People cant get on wifi yet to post it.

The cloud backup stuff is sort of gimmicky. I mean, the implementation is kind of neat since Android's built in back up solutions are kind of shifty. But having a 64GB+SD Card support would have made more sense.

It's a nifty phone. Unique looks and the red one looks rad. And also, the bootloader is unlocked. I guess people are turned off by the SD808.

Also I think the general consensus is that the camera is a bit shit.

It's physically gorgeous though. Maybe the best looking smartphone on the market. Shame about the size.

 

[i3allistic]

the Robin is one sexy phone tho ....def. one of the best design for an android

 

[Noema]

Just make sure not to sit on the Robin if you put it in your back pocket.

 

[Sid]

So who's excited for the Galaxy Note 7?

 

[mackattk]

For the Axon 7, probably a defective unit... I haven't heard of anyone else having wifi issues, I am sure they would have come forward by now.

Anyways, mine shipped from B&H today, here's hoping mine works fine.

 

[Jeffrey]

yeah there are review units out there even if there arne't many reviews atm.

(Norm from Tested mentioned he got one, but tested typically publish video reviews month or so after using them).

 

[Symphonia]

Where can I get the AXON 7 in the UK?

It will probably be fine. We're just having some fun

This guy. Love my Note5 and I appreciate how they've been streamlining(took long enough)the OS.

Can't wait for an even more refined version.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

If the robin had a little better specs i'd have bought it in a heartbeat and just loaded CM on it as I think that online backup stuff is pointless.

I do really like that phone tho the design is unique.

 

[Jeffrey]

the axon definitely has some issue with the rom, Although I don't see really any decent support options on their website.

Wonder if a factory restore or something could fix it?

Nextbit is the only Android phone I'd get, other than a Nexus. Great support, good specs for a good price, and the absolutely fantastic design that beats every other phone in the past few years. The storage gimmick isn't a big deal, though. I don't know why they act like they solved the aids epidemic.

Red color is cool but I love the blue and white. Make a red and white. That would be fire.

Your decision, but...

Might consider the upgrade if the specs are good enough. Only downside of getting the S7 is the screen size.

That's very cool. It should be the norm for flagships. Not the exception.
