Yeah I actually like LCD quite a bit more than AMOLED. My OnePlus one screen still looks great and the v20 I had also had a great screen. Amoleds also get dimmer over time and lose brightness. I'll take LCD any day over AMOLED.

I'll ask this from ignorance. Why is there no FULL RGB OLED screens?

based off some finland contest, seems like oneplus 5 might cost €550 ?
don't think they can get away with 1080p at that price... unless you are huawei or apple.
op3t is €439 in finland.

I still say no more than $450. Start getting higher and you are competing on a totally different playing field.
was always kind of the point though. hop into the market with a low priced flagship phone, build a name and fanbase, than slowly increase the price each generation.
$500s is still a fair price depending on how good that camera is, and if it gets the goodies the competitors have like waterproofing and 1440p.

I'd probably still pay $500 if it has those things for being open to the dev community. More than that and I'd probably be out.

Legitimately disappointing if they go with 1080p yet again.

It would be ridiculous. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and expect 1440p this time though.
Not entirely sure if this is the best place to ask but how are Nexus/Pixel phones running after years of usage?
I'm probably going to end up being a generation behind and pick up a Pixel and was wondering if the Nexus line still ran pretty great compared to launch over time.

Is there any way to not make the Autocorrect in SwiftKey fucking infuriating?
It's the most overagressive, meddling bullshit and makes me rage every day (No, I did not intend to type "China" when I wrote "CPH". No, please don't turn my colloquial German "n" into "noch" every single time...)
Or is there any alternative keyboard that's better than this?
Honestly, I can't believe how much worse the typing experience is compared to Windows Phone 8 from fucking 2012 even after 6 months of getting used to it.

Have you tried Gboard since the big update a few months ago?
I don't think that one let's me toggle between languages quickly. But honestly, not having English Word prediction might be an acceptable tradeoff at this point...
gboard has option to use 2 languages simultaneously, or you can just use the language switch key that's next to the comma.
but honestly, every keyboard has problems with autocorrecting shit randomly, especially in languages that are not english. gboard is a big offender of this as well.
Gboard is good. In the same sentence I often switch between French, English and Italian and the autocorrect on point.

I use 3 languages with SwiftKey and it has barely any auto-correct hiccups, even mid-sentence.
Why are you always doing everything wrong, Jon? Wieso nur? Per favore, dimmi perché.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Chrome 59 got a big back end JavaScript engine change.
Reports are pages should load up to 20% faster.

Honor 9 for me prob. I just need IP rating, wireless charging, headphone jack, small bezels, cheap price, good camera, and 64GB base storage and doesn't look like an iphone. Too much to ask?

Nice audio recording improvements in OnePlus 5 https://youtu.be/AraHhyBNfQ0

Chrome 59 does feel slightly faster. Not sure about RAM usage yet, but I'm also not a person with a gazillion tabs.
I mean, there are only so many ways to make a phone, but they went iPhone as fuck.
Think this is a mockup from the photo they've already shown, but still that us what the back will look like.
You can get the beta/dev channel builds from the Play Store and they're on version 60. Samsung browser still destroys Chrome. Come the fuck on, Google.

Good because you wouldn't be getting an iPhone. You would be getting an Android phone with the build quality of an iPhone.

Could one of you fine folks put the play store my library widget on your home screen, select play music, and see if tapping one of the album arts will open the play music app and take you to that album? The my library widget no longer seems to be working for me.
Edit: Not just music either. Selecting play books, movies or any of them no longer works when tapping the album art, book cover, movie poster.

No headphone jack confirmed, I guess? Interest lost then.
It's been 3 months, so the S8/S8+ is dropping in price:

It's a shame the Pixel 2 or 1+5 won't look like this. Tiny bezels and front facing speakers would be great.

That's dope. I still miss being able to long press the music controls on the lock screen and use the progress bar.O including new look for media art:
I approve
Now watch Google remove it
But camera cutout and lack of headphone jack.
