Competition is good
The competition between the Chinese companies is good for the market.
Copying Apple is not enough apparently, you need to offer something more ...who would have guessed that?

Google Podcasts app is live. Which is just a shortcut to the podcasts part of the Google app, but still. Apparently it was pretty bad before, but now it seems decent. Lacks many features of something like Pocket Casts though.

Samsung Pay just added microtransactions lol.

So, instead of getting reward points for spending money on things you were going to buy anyway, you can now just buy reward points outright.

What is the world coming to?

Love the color scheme on this thing with only the edges having a bit of color, looks really cool.

My only questions about that retractable camera is what happens if a bit of skin gets in there (does it pinch you or does it extend back when it feels resistance?), and if it's possible for dust/gunk to get in the gaps and clog it up.

It is pretty sick.

Key points of worry though is that everything is in that sliding mechanic including face unlock and cameras (no fingerprint sensor).

I unlock my phone plenty....

Also... How does a case work?

Dope its coming to the US, and apparently on a carrier too. Congress gonna be thrilled
shoulda stealth launched it.

Damn that phone looks cool.

Looking to upgrade too since my phone won't charge unless I restart it with it already plugged in until it stops charging again and repeat. Might have to try to hold out for a bit and see.

Yep. Probably not wise to use the phone out in the rain or near any drink either. Shit is smooth now, but will it still be smooth if you spill a drop of sticky soda in there?


Curious if there will be any official cases... and how would that work? Because glass back phone = slippery, and this phone uniquely has all its goods in 1 sliding basket. You definitely don't want to drop the phone by accident when taking a picture.

This definitely feels more like a concept than the vivo at least.

Still pretty slick. 1000 Euro is a bit much though... isn't the vivo like $700?

I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need the stylus. But I keep thinking the novelty will have use, ha.

Any Note nuts have an opinion on that?
I love the stylus. I use it all the time for writing memos/ random thoughts, taking notes, drawing diagrams, taking cropped screenshots, selecting text easily or just browsing. Because of this (and the general great quality of the Note8 of course) , I don't see myself going for any phone other than a Note...

Currently downloading the June patch on my S8+ on AT&T. This has been way better than I expected for security updates.

This review of the Find X I was watching shows one of the things I don't like about it....Look at that shit in the crevices. :|

I upgraded from Anroid 4.1 to 8.0 ..yay but I'm pretty annoyed. In any app that allowed you to set custom notification sounds that setting is completely gone. Not a popular feature I guess, but I found it useful for some stuff. Upgrading and losing features sucks.

Jeff pls, Unbox Therapy sucks :(
Haha, I had to mute that video after a few seconds because I couldn't stand the guy's over acting about this thing.

"This smartphone changes everything! It's what we've all been waiting for!"
It changes ONE part of the phone (the camera) while also downgrading on stuff like waterproofing and still being one of the most expensive phones you can buy.

How do you mean?

On my 8.0 Moto Z Play if I go to Apps & notifications > App info > Select an app > App notifications, I can app whatever notification sound I want. There's even an "add ringtone" button at the bottom of the list to add a custom one.

You're right it changed from being in the app to the system settings. Custom notifications for gmail labels are definitely gone though.

I just purchased a Pixel 2 XL in the UK and even though I'm loving it, it has a manufacturing date of Oct.
Should I exchange it for a newer build?

lol they are clearing out the stock

I think it's safe to say that OP3 will sell more than the Pixel 3. An Oppo ripoff outselling a Google device smh

Yeah, I don't know how people can like that character.
