Its been awhile..whats good?

I swore off Sony phones since my the horrible Z5 premium experience.

But my stupid self is wanting to try the XZ premium.

U11 so we can get someone here who actually has 1.

Friends don't let friends buy HTC

 

[DrFunk]

Somebody's gotta take that bullet

 

[IronRaven]

I kind of want a new phone to hold me over until the Pixel 2, but not a U11.

 

[Jeffrey]

I would get a HTC 11 but the position of the capacitive buttons on modern HTC are offensive.

Why are they so low?

Psssst...im bulletproof..

*google HTC u11* .oh crap! Wtf!..puke x_x *dead*

 

[Baroquemantic]

I dunno, I think the U11 is a true testament to modern design and elegance. Those subtle curves, the finger rests known as bezels, the off center buttons that help you stretch your thumb for a much needed digital workout. It really culminates into a fantastic smartphone.

So people that aren't informed of unlocked phones and stock Android are clamoring for stock Android?

I don't think there are tons of people out there demanding stock Android.

I think there could be more if they actually had a side-by-side comparison of how laggy/obtuse a crappy skin is compared to one that's closer to stock.

Which is why I said the problem is the level of information people have. Because you're right, people can't want something if they don't know it exists.

 

[Jeffrey]

People generally just want a phone that can facebook and take pictures and have good battery life.

 

[jwk94]

Has anyone purchased Swappa insurance before? I want to get a Moto Z Play, but I'm not sure if I should go through Swappa or get a refurbished one from Best Buy. My main concern is dropping the phone or the eventual battery degradation in a year or two.

Which basically describes the iPhone for most people.

God bless your soul. Please tell us what it's like to use on a day to day basis.

 

[HigXx]

Got my Xz Premium today, damn is it sexy. Smooth as butter

Warranty doesn't cover battery I think?

 

[The Faceless Master]

I could use a $25 pizza right now.

Try John's.

Crap, forgot about that. Guess I'm going with Best Buy.

Spigen accuses Andy Rubin's company Essential Products of trademark infringement, Essential responds with 🖕(ಠ_&#3232🖕

Rubinphone in legal trouble already y'all

I guess that securing the trademark wasn't... essential.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Some people are just jealous of success I guess.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Some people are just jealous of success I guess.

Indeed.

Shame how a former revolutionary is attempting to ride on the coattails of a humble accessory manufacturer.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Essential is such a stupid name. WTF does it even mean?

BTW that link sends me to a different article.

Probably something to do with the fact that it has all the essentials a smartphones needs like the lack of a headphone jack and an unlockable bootloader.

 

[Jeffrey]

Should rename to the reuben

 

[Vanillalite]

Thanks to my fellow Android GAF homie I got a little care package of a choetech stuff. Got a wireless charger and another fast charging brick. Pretty legit!

 

[NeOak]

Not sure Disney would renew the license agreement with Verizon

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Pretty amazing how ahead of the game palm was with the rounded screen corners.

webos was great.

webos was ahead of everything, which is why google snagged those devs and put that shit into android.

I got a USB-C charger from Choetech and it's great.

 

[Jeffrey]

man.


i've decided.


i want a 8gb ram phone.

preferably one that i can do root shit to, and other nonsense.


Heading to china in sept, think ill snag a OP5 with 8gb of ram if the rumors of that being a chinese only option is true.

 

[jwk94]

Anyone with an Honor 8? Trying to decide between that and the Moto Z Play. I have the Moto X Pure Edition and I'm heavily leaning on the Play (dat battery), but I just learned the Play has a worse camera than the X smh.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Welcome to the 8GB train. Next stop 128GB OP5 released globally

 

[Baroquemantic]

A phone with 8GB of RAM sounds insane to me. Hell, 6GB still does. I'm not against it though.

no other 'specs' excite me at this point lol. and more ram barely excites me tbh. Maybe faster memory?

Honestly i just want the novel experience of never having an app reload ever, might need 16gb of ram!

Welcome to the 8GB train. Next stop 128GB OP5 released globally

hype for that 100 score.

 

[LeleSocho]

soon fast not broken?

 

[Groof]

Soon fast not broken

 

[Baroquemantic]

Broken fast, not soon

--

Apps never reloading would definitely be great.

 

[IronRaven]

Soon fast not broken

This means something. Insert the thinking emoji here.

 

[Jeffrey]

50:50 on there being a dxo edition, because oneplus loves them limited editions.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Dxo and opo are working together ?

 

[Baroquemantic]

This means something. Insert the thinking emoji here.

Drop the words into an anagram thingamajig?

 

[Jeffrey]

Clearly a translation of a famous Chinese proverb.

 

[BoboBrazil]

 

[NeOak]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$/100

 

[Jeffrey]

Just let me order the OP5 already.



http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g6-pro-lg-g6-plus-specs-price-release-date-776727/


LG seems to be releasing more g6 variants this month. Still same specs though lol.

Will be on clearance by July.


Also smart in rubin not branding the phone. He can change the name and sell it without any costly changes! True genius.

 

[Rushersauce]

I just installed LineageOS in my ZUK Z2. Man, this is the BEST phone you can get for 200usd.

 

[Jzero]

Trademarks are stupid. I've bought their cases before and don't remember reading the word essential.
