It sucks. I tried to go down this path as well.
It's just not good.
I feel ya though. I'd love a lighter weight FB app, but this ain't really it.
OPPO clearly wants to present themselves as a premium brand and the audience their targetting probably doesn't care about specs.
But still, for the same price as the R15 Plus you can get an entry level Samsung Galaxy S9.
wonder if its every color, or does every phone color has a different spen color pairing.
You mean the Facebook Lite app that needs ALL permissions to your data or it won't work?
I'd rather not use Facebook than use that. They harvested my data the short time I had it. Suddenly people showed up as recommended people a day after installing it.
While the battery on the upcoming Note 9 will be much better than the battery on the Note 8, it may come at a big cost: Fast charging.

indeed, 30m on 4000mah Huawei gets you to 58% but on a 4000mah with Sam's charging speed, it would be around 35%
i thought people wanted additional weight and thickness
why are they even pretending to care about thickness and weight anyway? the S9 was thicker and heaver (and shorter and wider) and all everyone said was "it's the same as last year, you could call it the S8S lol"

I'll take the bigger battery and slower charging. Charging wireless every night is my ideal use case. All I need is a phone that can get me through the day, even a heavy use day. Me having to have a cable with me and chargers at work and having to keep an eye on my battery is the only major flaw on my s8.
nah man, they want it thin, the thinner the better, (almost) everyone making a con out of the thickness and weight of the XZ2 should tell you want they really want.
Yeah I miss dash charging.
But I got wireless chargers everywhere at home and at work so my note 8 is pretty much always topped up.
Wasn't there some leaks of Samsung stepping up on speed for their wireless charger?

The weight of the S9+ is one of the reasons I'm selling it and went back to my Moto Z Play.
If the battery had been good enough to justify the weight I might have been OK with it, but it was heavy AND barely lasted a whole day.
I don't buy Samsung phones, but I thought they supported "adaptive fast charging" (isn't this licensed and rebranded Qualcomm Quick Charge?) at 25W.
Did they drop support for this?
Edit: wow it looks like they did, after the S6 generation. Guess they didn't want to pay Qualcomm those license fees?
its more like it needs to work with their exynos phones too. But all that shit will fast charge your samsung phone just fine.
Snapdragon s8/s9/ note 8 works with 'adaptive fast charge', USB-C PD, quick charge 2, 3.
Not pinnacle speeds, but liveable.
I'm OK with those note battery news. If it lasts the whole day it can charge overnight for me.
So they dropped it only for the Exynos phones? I thought the whole point of licensing the patents and rebranding it was so that they could implement it on the Exynos phones.

It's a great website for high res photography which you can use for wallpapers.
In general finding wallpaper these days is a PITA cause screens on high end phones, laptops, and monitors mean generic 1080p wallpaper doesn't cut it anymore.
Google needs to make a Pixelbook that is more Surface Go and less Surface Pro.
Basically something premiumish sorts like the Samsung Chromebooks that are like $499 not $999.

I'm leaning that way cause fingerprints bug the hell out of me.
Texted a friend of mine about the Essential Phone deal.
She has an S7 Edge that has been in the process of dying for over a year I think, haha. The screen used to flash uncontrollably, now it just does it occasionally, but the battery dies really fast.
I'd go for it myself, but I genuinely don't have a use for another Android phone. Z Play is still treating me very well, and I still need to sell my S9 (waiting for the bill to go through so I can request to unlock it from T-mo).

Got the Essential. With the Amex deal it's definitely a 'fuck it' price. See how it compares to my S8 and give the wife that if I end up liking it.
Same. Just ain't motivated for it at 250. 200 would've definitely been a fuck it price
Got the July update on my AT&T S8+.
I've said it each time, but AT&T has been on the ball with this.

sprint stuff seemed like a hassle. This is 1-click, what did I just do, its coming tomorrow. oh well.
Holy shit did Oreo make my S7+ completely sluggish. I didn't think it would be that bad, but looks like a fresh install is in the works soon.
So the contextual/predictive Google Now cards are now going to be in Assistant. Nice.

Actually that looks quite nice but it fits with the blue. I don't think it would fit with the brown one.
Such a sexy phone.
Damn it is 7.1.1 September 2017 update.
Guess it never had a second shipment lol.
Seems solid so far. Great build and design. Sexiest phone I've own yet. Especially for $250.Doing many updates though.
Vibration motor sucks
