what kind of illegal fuckery are you doing that you're worried some random repairperson is going to go through the trouble to hack your fingerprint to enter that one specific folder/app?

Wow, that's some 2009 smartphone design. This fucking retro trend never ends, does it?
Eh, when has the Nexus/Pixels been cheaply priced AND had a great comparable camera too? I can't recall that ever happening. Nexus 6 is where the prices went back up, and it certainly wasn't that camera, it was mediocre as hell compared to the best at the time. And The N4 N5 and Galaxy Nexus absolutely can't be the ones.
I liked the mid tier pricing too, but I remember each year knowing that it meant the camera was where they would save money.

Yes, that. I did the super early backer tier.
Yup. 2.45" screen yo

The Jelly Pro kinda reminds me of a Nexus One. Or maybe I've forgotten what the N1 looks like.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
TechArmor sent Xerxes a swag box. Lmfao
Is that in a case?

Nope. That is the phone. Big bezels.
Also, taking out the back is a PITA. The back cover has a really good grip.
But damn. 2 SIM slots and microSD support.

I want to keep using Chat Heads. I just want the double notification to go away after I read the message.
I recently got the Note 8 and I don't think any of my previous Android phones did this.
Does it run smoother than the s8
Google hasn't sold a phone that was locked to Project Fi so it's safe to assume the X4 will also be unlocked.

What u mean by encryption? I set up the phone in a normal way, registering my printz and add a passcode.
People do so much with their smartphones these days, but we can't remove the storage unlike laptop or pc. Smut, pin numbers, android pay and the likes '*_*'

no lol
My S8+ is pretty smooth tbh. Windows Phone 8.1 level of smooth.
edit: the Jelly Pro is really smooth out of the box. Idk how it would be after a few months though.
does the jelly pro cost more than $25?

I paid $75 for it
They sell it for $125 now though -.- https://www.ogadget.com/products/jelly

While it's only a so-so camera (which is probably all I need, to be honest), I'm still planning on getting a Moto Z Play as an "all day" phone. I'll probably keep my S7e as a good waterproof camera and use the Moto Z Play as my everyday phone.
God forbid a developer every makes a phone with a massive battery and a really fantastic camera. Maybe in the next few years...
I think I'll probably ignore the Moto battery mods and just get a small battery pack (I have a big one, but it's too heavy and bulky to carry around all the time).

OnePlus 5 has a pretty beast battery. Longest lasting battery I've used in a phone. Haven't tried a Mate 9 or LePro 3 yet that have 4000mah batteries though.

"ROM". Are they trying to sound smart? Why would anyone want 16gb of read only memory on a phone

Anyone else feeling the Sony XZ1 Compact?
I think after having some large phones, I'm ready to go small.
Snapdragon 835 on a 4.6" device. 720p and no HDR though.
Also wanting that blue one, annoyingly it's exclusive to Carphone Warehouse in the UK so I think it'll go permanently out of stock before they reduce it from £499.99

Im gonna get this in black after my current contract expires, the phone just sorta looks like exactly what I want really. I want to switch to android and I dont like big phones - the audio enhancments and stuff sweeten the deal too

If I was into tiny phones I'd def get the XZ1 compact. Sony also always has the best color choices.
Yeah seems to be plastic. Just be happy they went with 835 over like the 660
Eh, I dunno. The X has a 600 series SoC and it runs just as fast as previous 800 series phones I've had.
Problem was the X was priced like a top end phone, but thankfully I got it at £230 or so, which is a much more acceptable price.
My use case being normal apps / audio through USB with USB Media Player Pro / no games at all.
Yeah it's mostly it was priced too high. Think it's OK priced atm for what you get. Battery should be solid too for 720p screen.
Rad that there is still a company that makes a flagship small phone.
Now we just need the sd835 in a jelly pro

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
There are like no phones in the US anyways that use more than the 625 beyond I guess the 630 in the which is just a slightly more powerful 625 anyways.
We've yet to even get any 650 or 660 phones.
Seems like for the pricing we just end up with 800 series phones.

X even had the concept ROM which was kept really up to date, until they killed it.
I'm pretty happy with the X to be honest, I'll hang onto it for another year since Android 8 has been confirmed for it.
I'll get a XZ1 Compact next year when the price drops. Love that it has a 720p screen and such a beast of a processor. Should also have good battery life.
From what I read, the materials on the phone are glass/plastic mix on the back and aluminum on the sides.
I'll leave the ultra resolution display and HDR for my living room TV.

I'm having a really weird issue, that I hope someone can help with.
The Google News and Weather app keeps crashing on me, it loads in, but if I refresh it it just immediately crashes. I've tried deleting chache and data, reinstalling the app, restarting my phone, but nothing seems to work.
The really fucked up thing, is that it works perfectly fine if I switch to either of my other two Google accounts linked on my phone.
Help! Please!
