Damn that Note 7 looks great. Unfortunately I just don't think I can bring myself to pay $850 USD for a phone anymore.
And knowing what phone it was wouldn't hurt either.

nice. seems like a kickass phone for $300. note 7 battery in a 5" 1080p phone will give you those on screen time lol.
how is the home button? Seems like a unique way of interacting with android compared to your normal 3 button layout.

It's amazing. At first I missed the other buttons, but once you get use to it, there's no turning back.
Snapchat's latest change log.
I thought this was related to the Travel Mode (which I have enabled at all times), but then my hype got destroyed when I realized it's about the Android battery saver mode. (which never gets triggered on this device since it has around 2-day battery life. Sony, be praised.)
Still great to see. Maybe that Instagram competition will push the devs towards more enhancements.

Are there any portable battery packs that have proper spec usb-c ports that will rapid charge my 5X?
Tronsmart 12,000 Quick Charge 3.0
Out of stock on Amazon, one of the few that I've found that fast charges 5X/6P.
So I tried out the iOS 10 beta on my ipad to see what android features have been added.
One interesting thing is the widgets in the lock/google now screen. An improvement. Hopefully google creates a widget to get google now/assistant into ios. Actually widgets for all google apps would be nice to make them feel more part of the os. So far there is just a chrome widget. Still I wonder why they still wont allow widgets on tne home screen.
Of course google might avoid widget support just to encourage switchers who'd rather more integration.
Cross app search / deep linking from search continues to be pretty limited.

I'm glad I ordered a 6P. Everything about the HTC Nexus phones just seems worse and worse to me. Don't like the design.

I've yet to see anything that bothers me. Am wondering though how they will handle the new update system in terms of storage. Will they just do the same as now and just partition it different so people have less storage? Or adjust it so people get the same amount of usable storage.

Does the charger also quick charge?
There's nothing to be glad about until the phones actually release. And even then, the 6P will probably have a solid price drop. Unless you needed the phone asap

I'm partially biased against HTC, to be fair. From the HTC DHD, m7, 2 m8s, and a Nexus 9 - I've had nothing but poor experiences with them and especially their customer service. Just not siting well with me, especially after seeing the huge useless bezels
The 6P is a completely free replacement for my Z3 from Rogers.

I don't play any phone games, and the only time I watch videos on my phone is in wifi and in bed. I think I'll be alright. At the very least, it'll still outperform my Z3

Same. It still affects my usage. Just sayin!
I want a new Nexus 9. Pixel C is old and not worth it now.

You wont care about the new design when your 6p is overheating. You look at and care about leak photos but dont read up on how shitty the 810 is? You bought a year and a half old processor that ran like shit the day it released.
My 5x overheats and sucks power like no other which is the same architecture.

If Google goes for a new Nexus 9, I hope they go with Huawei or LG for it. Hated the light bleed and loose back of the original 9, though it felt premium in the hand otherwise.

No its because its usb c and qc3 doesnt meet usb c specs.
Pixel C has none of those issues and is premium as fuck. Not to mention the awesome battery life. If anyone sees one for a good price I would highly recommend it.

Doesn't it have 25w USB-C quick charge though?
My biggest problem is being located in Canada. It simply isn't worth it, not for nearly $1,000 before tax

So that QC 3.0 battery pack the guy mentioned above will not fast charge a nexus 5X?
you'll enjoy your 6P. I love nine.
I'll be happy enough with a 6P-2 running a 821 or Exoynos (lol) but oh well.
And a ton of phones this year are USB c and qc3 regardless of not meeting the specs.

Yes it will. It just won't be fast charging with Qualcomm tech.
What's your point? Samsung is not one of them. I don't want my shit ruined bc my charger doesnt follow the spec.

EWW. you are stuck with them for two years with the phone that is a year old. you could have gotten much cheaper contract and much better phone than 6p which is extremely overrated here.
samsung still supports QC2.0 with type C cable on their note 7, and I'm pretty sure their own adaptive charging is quite similar to how QC works.
I'm trying to find any hubbub ever since that article in april from that google employee, but I can't seem to find much? Has any HTC10 or G5's blown up because of type-c + QC3 issues?

Yes about 6hrs to fill it up. I've read some user reviews on XDA and a couple vids. All positive

like previous Samsung devices, it supports Samsung's Adaptive Fast Charge.
also, long before Qualcomm had quick charge, Samsung had fast charging, they just didn't have a fancy name for it.

If the $400/$450 price they are listing is true that is crazy expensive. They'd have to be crazy to be charging that much.
(Edit) It's true, damn that is too much for the chipset it has.
$450 for 4GB/64GB. It's about on point. The kirin 950 isn't a slouch, but Huawei is clearly trying to make a foothold in the US
$400/450 on the live stream. $50 giftcard if preorder? Can be gotten from best buy... and i missed the rest.
$350 is a good price for 32gb (it supports sd card).
they picked a bad year/time to announce this.... Although i hear good things about the 950 vs 820 in cpu stuff?
Although I love how all of a sudden there are 3 powerhouse $400 chinese android phones you can buy in the US. Hope this section grows to at least put some pressure on HTC/LG/Samsung/Apple etc in the US.

At $450 for 64GB's you are paying more than the OnePlus 3 or Axon 7. The issue with that is the Kirin 950 is considerably weaker than the 820. It's terrible in comparison to the 820 for Graphics performance. The OP3 has the perk of having more RAM and open software development, the Axon 7 has the speakers, extended warranty, and improved DAC. The Honor 8 doesn't really sound like it has advantages.

Huawei getting outpriced?
CPU should be equal to the Snapdragon 820 but gpu is weaker. For web browsing and general usage performance should be on par. It has a solid camera and I prefer the smaller size, but I do wish it was priced less than OnePlus 3/Axon 7. At least they're offering a $50 giftcard with preorders. The hardware itself looks pretty nice.
I'll wait for reviews and official Nexus announcements in the mean time. Camera reviews I've seen for the Huawei P9 (same set up as this Honor 8) show it's a pretty good camera but still a notch below the Galaxy S7.
Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg, B&H Photo is where you can get it... feel like Oneplus needs to get their stuff on 3rd party sites sooner or later.
They really should bake that preorder price permanently. No reason to get a 32gb 4gb honor 8 at $400 compare to the a7 or op3.
Seems like the dual camera setup is good? better than op or a7 maybe... who knows.
Wonder if this is just the first step, and maybe they will bring the premium line over someday too?

Probably why they agreed to do the Nexus last year. Seemed to be generally well liked outside of the 810 which isn't their fault really.
Think the biggest standout for the device is the dual camera setup they took from the p9 (without the leica branding lol), which I recall was reviewed well?
Don't think theres been any 'amazing' cameras in the $400 price range smartphone yet, so this could be a good angle to approach.
Also IR blaster!
And there needs to be more sexy blue phones.

On verizons website the consumer reviews are terrible for both the s7 and the s7 edge.
The HTC 10 reviews are consistently happy.
If features are what they want they sure arent enjoying them. Pretty sure you are confusing advertising and features. Samsung crams ads and pays carriers off to pedal their crap down peoples throats.
I didnt know free headsets, watches and sd cards came with stock android devices. Its not even a fair comparison.

Are you talking about Verizon Wireless's website, or a different Verizon?
I checked Verizon Wireless and the S7 and S7 Edge both have 4.5/5 rating with about 5000 across both of them.
The HTC 10 has the same 4.5/5 score with about 150 reviews.
