No idea how accurate this is, but here's a "leak"

No screencutout no buy.

Remember when Google was gonna overhaul Google Music when they introduced Material?

Well, it was overhauled, just not in the way anyone wanted.

Really wish this mockup design had actually...materialized. Just using the adaptive color stuff in the current app would be nice.

 

[Jeffrey]

Yeah if pixel was going low bezel we'd have seen it in recent HTC phones.

 

[Quasar]

Remember when Google was gonna overhaul Google Music when they introduced Material?

Well its fine to me (I have other issues other than interface). Its the AndroidTV app that I'm disappointed by with its lack of updates. Hopefully with O and the new interface something happens.

Looks super fake, I just hope they follow the trend of minimal bezels, up the base model to 64gb, maybe IP rating and more improvement to camera/battery.

OP5 on geek bench.

Hope we get that 8gb ram on base storage option too.


Also the ass end of essential.

Installed, did a factory reset, and now it's been on "Checking device info" for what seems like ages.

Am I already dead?

The new media notifications are great, just wish the thumbnail/album art was more visible.

Does 6p still die young on O

 

[Groof]

Does 6p still die young on O

even younger

though tbh beta 1 seemed to make the processor go into overdrive too easy. will see with new beta

 

[redlegs87]

I recently ordered a Pixel XL what's the rub on good cases for it?

OP5 beast mode

 

[Massa]

Great, now every icon in Android uses the exact same shape.

 

[Jeffrey]

man i hope 8gb ram is an option for the US. rest of the world get the baller versions of phones while we get peasant 4gb.

 

[kaiyo]

OP5 beast mode

Similar to Xperia xz premium

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Remember when the Nexus one came with 512 MB of storage?

It won't be smoother with 8 anyway

And to this day, no SD card expansion because they're scary.

I mean sd625 runs android as smooth as it gets lol.

Just saying, used a s8 for a month, gimme a phone that can hold apps in memory pls. All the apps.

3rd strike forever undefeated

seems like there's less battery drain on the new O beta on my 6p at least. less random overheats too

 

[Ty4on]

darker blacks.

Not anywhere lit

Most of the time my LCD blacks are blacker than the bezels

 

[Jeffrey]

lol just realized nexus 6 has amoled panel. Was like this is a really nice LCD panel for 2014!

and the stereo speakers and performance... for $600 at launch I think, seemed like a good price for what you get. I probably should have gotten one back then instead of the iphone 6 plus at least... man was that a disappointment.

Only issue with it was the price when it launched and the fact I couldn't stop myself spinning the thing when on a table.


Still on the fence if I should get a OP5 I'm like having an enteral fight with myself.

Did yours get the touch disease?

What phone are you on now?

 

[DrFunk]

I remember the Nexus 6 being $600 was a crime against humanity if you asked everyone online.

Looking back, it really was a decent price for what you got. I'm glad the Nexus = cheap mentality is dead now.

 

[CronoShot]

I'm not sure what's weirder. The fact that I paid $550 for a Blackberry in 2017, or the fact that I absolutely love it so far.

 

[BoboBrazil]

I'm really liking the HTC u11 the more I see of it. If I wasn't getting a OnePlus 5 I'd probably get one.

 

[Rushersauce]

I'm not sure what's weirder. The fact that I paid $550 for a Blackberry in 2017, or the fact that I absolutely love it so far.

The fact that the screen is not even glued.

seems like ram and storage are tied together, which is typical for chinese phones. Just offer that 8gb ram in the states pls.

Did yours get the touch disease?

on iphone? nope. it just always ran not amazing. 1gb of ram wasn't enough. it held apps in memory about as good as my s8!

I'm not sure what's weirder. The fact that I paid $550 for a Blackberry in 2017, or the fact that I absolutely love it so far.

just don't bend it or drop it. screen will come off!

I remember the Nexus 6 being $600 was a crime against humanity if you asked everyone online.

nexus 6 was $50 less than cheapest tiny pixel.

also hey, its a motorola phone, so my nexus 6 works with all my QC chargers lol.

just wish this thing had more battery.

I do like this size though, i kinda miss my mate 9.

My 2017 phones went from:

5.9" mate 9 to 5" pixel to w/e the fuck the s8+ is, to this 6" nexus 6 I snagged for project fi.


Rest of the year, thinking op5 or essential, one of the 2, then iphone.

 

[CronoShot]

The fact that the screen is not even glued.

Well that too lol

 

[Quasar]

So I've used the new O build for a while on my Nexus 5X. It does seem to run faster than te last one. The last one I found had some slowness issues at times.

One little thing I've noticed (dunno if this is new) is that now the notification shade lists all the apps running in the background and provides a way to get straight to a shutdown option. I do like that.

The pocketcasts player on the shade seems nicer too, with it showing album art and more materialness.

Haven't really digged in far, but I'm pretty happy so far. Really want to see how notification channels work, but I guess it will be a while before we can try that out.

Dp3 fixes a bunch for me, crashes chrome beta constantly to replace bugs

Yeah. a rectangular slab with rounded corners is pretty bad.
