Fair enough. Still, a 250 premium to go from 6 to 8 would give me pause.
I saw it mentioned on their French Twitter feed right after your reply. It's apparently being released on August 20th.
Seems like an odd moment to announce this, considering Samsung is dominating the news cycle.
If you really want to see the world burn, sure you could do that.
I had to try pretty hard to get to 45% space used on my 128gb internal storage heh.
Note 9 looks pretty sweet. I see T-mobile has 500 off for an 8+ trade in. Would I be able to pay that outright or would they make me add to my plan? 8+ ruined me on big phones, now I need to go larger on the screen. Fucking shame nobody is really stepping up to eat Sammys lunch in the Android market though. HTC let me down, Sony is taking to long to catch up with the trends, and no thanks to Pixel or One+ for various reasons.
Don't trade in the 8+. You get $500 for note 5 or S7, which I'm seeing on swappa for $150 lol
I have small fingers and yet on-screen keyboards are a royal pain on a 4" (and I know since I have one of those for work). Anything smaller is crazy, we just endured them back in the early years of the decade because anything better was 500€ minimum and would be obsolete and screaming for more RAM by the 9th month in the market. People only claimed to like them because Apple was still making them, once they moved on to reasonable (still small) sizes with the iPhone 6 nobody but the most diehard kool-aid drinkers stuck with them and the iPhone S.
Those people are looking for iPhone 5/5c/5s/SE, XZ1/2 Compact, or similarly sized devices (e.g., a 5" 18:9 display).
When people say that they mean phones in the mid-4" to 5" range, not this nonsense. This is going to bomb for sure
Trying out Digital Wellbeing. Felt pretty weird when my screen was suddenly B/W. Let's see if it actually works the way it's meant to...
Got a chromebook pro.
Standby is good. Can go a few days just fine. Better than any windows in sleep mode.
Have a Pixelbook, so I don't know how useful this'll be, but my standby time is absurd. It feels like I can leave it alone for a week and come back to it with it still having a significant amount of charge.
Throw in SD card in it. I have a 200GB SD card in my Note and it gives me all of the storage I need.
I have a 256GB card and it's almost full. I shoot a ton of 4k, 100mbps video so it's taking quite a lot of space (so far around 100GB worth)
Gotcha, if you're interested, the 400GB card is about $185 on Amazon and Samsung announced a 512GB card during the announcement today.
I feel nice and comfortable with the 128GB I have. I keep backup under high quality settings for google photos so that's unlimited. But then I will very infrequently do a mass transfer between my phone (from the SD card) via USB 3.0 to the big hard drive in my desktop. I eventually want to cop one of those 8TB hard drives for cheap and use that to throw all my media backups in there and double as external storage for the PS4 Pro.
4K videos. Games. Downloaded music and media files. Think outside the box.
"Poco" in Spanish means few, not many, a little
Hopefully they don't release that stuff in Latinamerica lol
I have a lot to catch up on today between this and red dead redemption, damn
I'm upset with myself right now because I'm honestly considering the possibility of just getting a Note 9. $1000 is an insane amount of money for a phone, but that 4000mAh battery is extremely tempting, seeing as batteries going bad after ~1.5 - 2 years has been a problem with every smart phone I've ever owned.
i mean there are like budget moto phones with that battery if thats all you want!
Man, I'm really not a fan of some of the UI changes in Pie. My clock was in the top-right before, and now it's in the top-left! Now I keep thinking there are notifications!
Gotta keep the middle empty for the notch! Same reason they thought it was smart to remove the icons showing you whether you had bluetooth or GPS on -_-
I also noticed that, at least on my Pixel XL, after I had 4 or 5 notification icons it just displays a dot afterwards, leaving a bunch of unused space to the right, as if I have a notch. It's unbelievable. Assuming every phone your OS is running on has a notch is NOT notch support.
Yeah that's dumb. It should simply respond based on if you have a notch or not.
The top left corner of your screen is literally Android's biggest killer feature and they've just gimped the hell out of it because of a baffling trend that should never have caught on in the first place. It's unbelievable and it's pushing me away from the "stock Android" experience more and more.
One Plus has some back to school deal where you get
OnePlus 6 Mirror Black 6GB RAM + 64GB Storage
OnePlus Fast Charge Power Adapter US
OnePlus Fast Charge Type-C Cable 100 cm
OnePlus Bullets (V2) Black
For $530.
Thoughts?

Really tempted to just get a Note 9 right now, considering T-Mobile is offering $500 off in plan credits with trade-in of Samsung phones, including some rather old models including the S7 or Note 5. Seeing as I can grab a good condition S7 from Swappa for around $170, that's essentially $670 for a Note 9.
