Finally got through, the lady couldn't really hear me that well though so hopefully she got my shipping address right. I loved my 6P, you will be missed.

so dumb
we've officially hit peak addon
i know what i'm watching in bed!
Thinking about switching over from iPhone. I'm looking at the S8+ and the Galaxy Note 8. I was wondering which is better to hold and which takes better images? I looked at comparison photos and it seems the Note 8 images look more natural although they can be too saturated at times.

Depends on what your priority is. The Note 8 has a dual lens one of which is a telephoto and one that they market as wide angle. Couple that with S-Pen and 2 more GBs of RAM is pretty much what you're paying around an extra 200 bucks or more for.

Interesting I was reading some impressions and they mentioned that the second lens seems underutilized to the point of it almost being useless.

Definitely got mine
. Fuck yeah. I don't need to buy the Pixel 2 XL either because of this. I can wait for the Pixel 3 now. I wonder if I can purchase the Pixel Protect for this phone?Pretty much, yeah.
Stopped by the mi shop in Shanghai during work trip.
MI mix 2 is meh lol. Bezels are even bigger in person. Bottom selfie cam isn't too bad weirdly enough. Just look a little lower and it's fine.
Picked up a mi band 2 for like $24. Seems pretty nice for the price. Bare bones in features but does what it needs to do.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
If you want the s-pen then get the Note. If money ain't a thang get the Note and pocket the freebies they are giving right now.
All other use cases just get the S8+. It's essentially the same phone for cheaper.
The Note 8 takes better images than the S8+ though which is what he was specifically asking
Glad to see. Glad to see someone like Bose onboard.
Pretty sure main camera (wide) is the same unless they made some random changes.

See:
.Yeah, checking Reddit it sounds like this is only for Google store devices that you bought yourself.

It's the same. The main camera is the exact same in both. You're just getting that telephoto lense for the Note 8. For normal use cases it's gonna be the same.
Like I said if you have the money to burn or need the S-pen get the Note. If not just save the cash and get a cheaper S8+.
Black S8+ with Substratum and Swift Black theme:
Anybody got pics of an S8/+/N8 running this theme?
did you see the white one? Any pictures of a pdf/book/comic app on the thing?

Well I'm officially done with google. The vibration motor went out on my pixel randomly, so I decided to get it replaced, they wanted to put a hold on my account for the full price of the device so that I could get a new one, so I said screw that and just dealt with it, but then my headphone jack and receiver went out to, so I bit the bullet and they sent a refurb. The Refurb finally gets here and the fucking finger print scanner doesn't work on it, the option for it straight up doesn't appear. Fuck google and fuck android at this point. I'm officially out.

Lol. Google can do no wrong!
Decent. Can run hot and the battery is trash. Expect 2-3 hours of screen on time. Probably never going to get nougat or new security updates.
dammit, battery life is my top feature in a phone
At least there's fast charging. You will need it.
To me this is by far the my understandable reason I see for people sticking with iPhones (for those who actually know tech and enjoy all kinds of high end phones rather than just fanboying all the time).
But also, Apple can afford do that and it will always be worth it to keep a lifelong customer.
I know Samsung is pushing in that direction to offer much better support. But who knows how serious they are about improving.
Google definitely does, but clearly has a lot of work to do.

I'll be switching to iPhone and this
Is why, I've had plenty of smartphones, but none have been as straight up frustrating as the pixel. Sure there are issues with other manufacturers, but I doubt many would send me a screwed up replacement unit and stick me with another week where I can't use $800 of my own money.

Maybe there's just a disproportionate amount of people with Nexus and Pixel phones in this thread, but I swear I see more posts about Nexus phone batteries dying early and issues with Pixels than I do with anything else, outside of Samsung phones getting slower over time and LG bootloop issues (which I haven't been seeing much of lately).

I think this thread proves 1 thing: Everyone should just get an HTC U11.
