Support NeoGAF

[IronRaven]

Depends on approach and features.

But currently car shopping so maybe chill on tech buys on 2017 lol.

I'm guessing you want the car to be Android Auto compatible.

 

[reKon]

Andy is gonna fuck up the game and ya'll won't be ready.

Day 1.

Spoiler

preemptive astroturfing

 

[this_guy]

People actually buy iPhones and Samsung phones though so they have real users and not just astroturfers.

To be honest I think more people shit on Samsung here than praise. Only person that I can even consider a Samsung Astroturfer here is Faceless but I've also seen him shit on them as well.

Gave up on that. Luxury cars are fickle about that.




More rubin phone tease.

Forgot its supposed to have modular parts.

 

[DrFunk]

Looks like that's the 360 camera

 

[Bboy AJ]

That Rubin phone teaser looks so good.

 

[Quasar]

Are they though? I've almost never seen anyone in my area have a Sony phone.

I see some. But that doesn't mean anything given I almost never see iphones (and it seems to always be pre iPhone 6 ones - 4s and 5s). I've also yet to see a curved screen Samsung phone in the wild. Also yet to see a pixel.

I think it's simply that being in a lower income / non techie area that people either don't update often or buy low cost phones.

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

Everyone remember that time AJ predicted Essential's phone?

 

[Jeffrey]

Nintendo predicted this with the Gameboy camera.

 

[Quasar]

Sony has a fingerprint sensor?

Outside Trumpland.

 

[IronRaven]

Nintendo predicted this with the Gameboy camera.

I wonder what crazy feature Nintendo would put in their phone.

 

[Jeffrey]

Wonder if the camera comes with the phone. The bezel less screen might not have room for a selfie cam. Unless they put on bottom like mi mix.

It's most likely mounted on the bottom or it's on the top and it's covered by his hand in that teaser.

 

[The Faceless Master]

How many Samsung Astroturfers? I lost count.

c'mon now, the amount of people talking about Sony phones is unnaturally high compared to marketshare.

FP sensors is built-in world wide, it's only software disabled in the US.

that makes it ok.

Probably because Sony actually advertised the Z3 and was sold at multiple carriers in the US. After that they kinda give up. They didn't release the XZ in Canada either.

demand constrained,

 

[Groof]

the word astroturfing sounds so dope

 

[Mr.Shrugglesツ]

How much are merriam and webster paying you.

 

[Junior Mint]

c'mon now, the amount of people talking about Sony phones is unnaturally high compared to marketshare.

Lmao. Reminds me of how the verge comments section would always be flooded with WHERES THE WINDOWS PHONE VERSION for every article on a new app.

 

[LeleSocho]

c'mon now, the amount of people talking about Sony phones is unnaturally high compared to marketshare.

Ouch!

 

[Jeffrey]

Weird. Nexus 6 didn't have a fingerprint sensor? It was a 2014 phone!

dbrand about to invade MrMobile videos

dbrand about to invade MrMobile videos

It was only a matter of time.

 

[Jeffrey]

im curious how much dbrand pays for each sponsorship lol. They are basically funding all the android/iphone videos on youtube at this point.


Do people really buy their stuff? It's basically a super thin 'case' but takes like 30min to put on.

The materials they use are architectural grade. Really quality stuff.

I see alot of people including these with their phones on swappa so someone must buy these. Seems like the most pointless thing in the world.

 

[DrFunk]

I just can't get over applying a skin to a phone

Seems redundant and tacky as hell

 

[The Faceless Master]

people put them on cars now too

 

[reKon]

I did it for the grip and it didn't help much. If they do design proper skins with good grip, there's nothing wrong with them.

I use the thinnest case possible with grip. I don't drop phones.

 

[IronRaven]

I get very sweaty hands thanks to my hyperhidrosis and I don't think skins would be the best option even though at least one person in the last OT said they had no problems with theirs.

I'm curious how much they pay, too. I bet it's a lot.

I bought one for my Nexus 6. It saved it from being so slippery. It's really quality, too. I almost always go careless but N6 was a behemoth and slippery in the white color. Had to skin it up. No regrets.

I might skin my new MacBook One. Curious about the new model's colors. I want a bright yellow skin over my matte black hardware.

 

[Groof]

last time i bought a dbrand was to hide the cracks on my n4's back. that's the only reason i would consider getting one

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm guessing you want the car to be Android Auto compatible.

Most cars are Android Auto and CarPlay compatible these days.

Except Teslas, because fuck everyone when you're the only guys selling electric cars which look like cars instead of Kia Souls.

 

[VanWinkle]

MAN. It's insane. dbrand is locked in to like every tech Youtuber.

Skins are terrible.

Hard to find them on luxury stuff that aren't American.

BMW does support carplay, think their spokesperson laughed when someone asked about android auto.

BMW and Apple go a long way back. My friends BMW still has the old Apple connector cable built into the car lol.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Well don't buy shitty Bimmers then. Mercedes and Audi support CarPlay and Android Auto.

Audi supports it I believe.

edit: oops, stated above.

that makes it ok.

There's a world outside of the US, ya know.

? I didn't say it was ok, now, did I? The question was Sony has fingerprint sensor?

 

[yagal]

Except Teslas...

...and Toyota.

 

[Vanillalite]

Meanwhile Boy AJ redeemed

Latest rumor is Apple has the fingerprint scanner in the screen working.

 

[Jeffrey]

My president tells me Germans are bad though.

 

[Vanillalite]

I gotta be honest.

I don't need to use maps, but a couple times of year.

So just regular in car BT is fine for my needs. I can listen to podcasts/music and field the occasional call.

That's all I really want/need in my car.

This phone will look so sexy.

 

[Furyous]

AJ can you test out the Huawei Nova 2 for the culture? The culture of people waiting for the perfect android device that is.

Samsung announced the Galaxy Feel exclusive for Japan. It comes with a 4.7 inch HD display, type -C, 3 gigs of ram, 3000 mah battery, quick charge, and has NFC.

I'm leaning towards 5.5 inch flagships because all the 4.7 and 5.2 inch flagships have too many compromises.

 

[Jeffrey]

This phone will look so sexy.

Not if the leaks are true with the weird rotated camera

I haven't used Android Auto, but I guess it makes it a lot easier to change what you're playing and going through contacts.

 

[DrFunk]

Android Central seems warm to the HTC 11:

Sorry for the mobile link. Dunno if I'll take the L for the thread though...🤔

 

[Jazzy Network]

Curious if anyone here plans on getting an HTC U11.

 

[Jeffrey]

Maybe when cheap on swappa

Let's see what rubin phone and oneplus is bringing.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Eh, doomed either way. It doesn't seem bad to me. Just weird because of the current design.

Also iphone won't ever be sexy until they revamp their OS look again.

IOS 10 kinda looks terrible with the weird squarish bubbles.
