Yeah, Google does eventually come around to the Apple way. After all the Android users say why Google's different way is better. Then Google finally sees the light, changes course, and no one acts like the old way was a thing. For example, shitty 16:9 tablets.
So maybe you're right.
You seem to always hate on Google/Android I don't understand why you continue to use it.
Ios and Android just trade features and philosophies every year these days.
Still find it hilarious how ios basically stole androids multitasking carrisol but horizontal which is way worse than their old thing lol. And now they are doing a Google now thing.
While android is stealing spit screen from... Who did that first, note?

Some Marlin information coming out. Source is the guy who distributed the Nexus Launcher APK and also a developer on Pure Nexus ROM (According to Reddit). Some of the less technical stuff since I do not quite understand all that mumbo jumbo is below.
-The screen is a Samsung AMOLED panel and the model number matches what the Axon 7 is using (Possibly the same display?).
-The rear camera sensor model number makes it sound like a new/reworked version of the sensor that the Nexus 5X/6P/HTC 10 used.
-Said "Guaranteed" that it will be available in carrier stores.
-It has APK's for propriety SystemUI and Settings which may further confirms the exclusive features like "Night Mode".
Gotta say...I'm a little antsy about the carrier store thing. If that ends up meaning carrier's have any control over the updates it will really ruin the whole point of Nexus phones. Also, the last time a Nexus was sold by carriers it was expensive as hell.

I think it may mean that you can still buy the phones outright at carrier stores. Maybe they got something like Apple where they can sell basically the same iPhone to all carriers, in their stores and also have all the same builds/software/etc (no bloatware)? Also, reworking the current camera to be better and using the Axon 7's 1440p screen (which is Samsung's) I find is a good thing. Cost effective for things that are out now, but both are known to perform very well. I'm sure the 6P camera is still up there with the best.

You think criticism is hate. Somehow, and I've owned an Android phone since the G1, they've come to agree with me on many things. Again, tablet aspect ratio.
I wish this was real
and supported wireless charging.
I'd probably sell my S7 immediately, and I haven't even received it yet.
I just ordered this last week. Can't wait for it. Got it mostly for its design and was very comfortable to hold my coworkers version. Also its only $299.

I picked up one also. I've been using a 2.1 charger and it's just not doing the work of charging my phone while using Google Maps.

A bit strange selection of countries. Only UK, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland remain unrestricted. I can understand the first two being major markets, but the three relatively small Nordics over France, Italy, and Spain? Though it's nice to see poor Estonian peasants treated the same as the French. Anyways, I got mine over three weeks ago and they even shipped it a week earlier than their initial projected date.

This thread has been about the ZTE AXON 7 for awhile. I'm not sure how to answer with any other phone recommendation. Lol

I'm just surprised you cared since you consider iPhones often.
What's funny is you are full on ranting when we don't even know the truth.
When google acts like apple you people bitch. When google doesn't act like apple you bitch.
Can't buy it right now. I kind of need a phone today.

Oh shit, I didn't even know. Thanks, I was about to go buy a cheap Android phone.

I'm jealous. That's a great phone.I just ordered this last week. Can't wait for it. Got it mostly for its design and was very comfortable to hold my coworkers version. Also its only $299.
I'm not ranting. No one is, actually.

Coming back to Android after a year of iPhone. Any software recommendations that really are must haves in the past year?

Damn that sucks... I am curious to what the problem is.
Battery is average.
Op3 is gonna be a good value until... Op4 lol.
Really impressed they still around.
If I had to buy a cheap flagship phone... and didn't already own an S7.... I'd still wait for that Slickdeal to come back just buy the Int'l Galaxy S7 for $430, lol...
Worth the $30-$80 price difference over the Axon/ One Plus 3 (I assume that by that the S7 is regularly at $430, there will be sales for the other phones at $350)

My wife's been complaining about that too me all day. I'm going to disable Google connection services and see if that fixes problems since it was problematic sometimes in the past.
I see that more on the Apple side. Which for some I guess makes the desire to switch to android less.
I'm in Australia and I have 2FA on my Paypal account. Its shitty SMS based 2 factor, but I guess is slightly better than none at all.

They're both ridiculous. Both OSes do great things while having other things absolutely wrong.
I wish this was real
and supported wireless charging.

I'd love a red nexus like the 5. Shame they didn't do it with the 5X.
Certainly. Refusing to accept better methods just because its not developed in house or its a foreign idea has always seemed dumb to me going right back to the 1 button mouse. So I was happy seeing things like all the notification stuff finally turning up on iOS. The whole 'start your photocopies' antagonism was always dumb.
My mom's old clamshell Samsung phone died (finally) a month ago.
I was expecting her to choose either a Samsung or an iPhone since those are the two most well known manufacturers.
But nope, she wanted a Huawei. She heard good things about it from her colleagues.
China is coming in hot. And I support this as long as it's quality.
I'm eyeing towards Xiaomi if they ever make a 5" device that fully supports the LTE bands in Europe, with a 4000+ mAh battery.

I love my red Nexus 5. They were pretty lazy with the 5X. I was shocked when I found out that the mint and white versions only had a different colored back, with a regular black frame. Such a low effort.

Isn't there a widespread issue with Tmobile on the Nexus 6 atm?

Samsung files patent for interchangeable smartwatch bands using Apple Watch sketches
Isn't this a very stupid thing to do after fighting all these lawsuits by Apple, some of which they lost?
Unless of course they plan on making interchangeable bands for the Apple Watch.

Did you look how those cases turned out? They took forever and did not go very well for apple. Samsung invalidated a bunch of Apples patents too.
Who knows if apples interchangeable watch patent is even valid.
Yes, I did know how the cases turned out. My point wasn't about who lost and who won, but how long those cases took to resolve, which you also brought up.
My question would be, why risk provoking Apple by using one of their devices in a patent design, especially if it is a patent similar to one Apple has already.
