This is tough. Additional battery is a big deal since I'm also on my phone all the time. Have you ever looked into a battery case? Or do those not really work/too bulky?
i have a zerolemon but rarely use. i got a slick 10000mah xiaomi qc3 battery pack when out and about, but have no issues charging my phone around the house and at work or in the car.
I will say I wish the Gear Sport came in two sizes ie small and large.
I doubt it, but maybe the Gear S4 will be that. Don't just give us two band sizes. Make the whole thing slightly smaller.
Hell I'll take a slightly smaller battery if need be to get a smaller device on my wrist.

Two main issues
1) it's been stuck on this old ass Qualcomm A7 chip for years. Everyone* uses the same chip, and it's just slow.
2) Google seems to half heartedly care about the platform
*Everyone in Android Wear land. Samsung and Apple use their own newer chips.
** Also to note Qualcomm is finally getting off their ass to fix this sometime this year with a newer chip

It's not actually that much smaller tho. This especially goes for females and dudes with smaller wrists. The current Apple watch is considerably smaller and works better for people who aren't Flossy Carter beasts.
OnePlus said their phone next year will be 5G and the OnePlus 6 might be coming to us carriers(probably T-Mobile). OnePlus is doing big things.
I'd imagine the 7. 6T will probably come out in November so I'd be shocked if it was 5G. The 7 will probably come out in May again.
I need better coverage especially in doors, but I don't care about faster speeds at this juncture on mobile especially with data caps the way they are.
Not when they used to put good, large batteries in their Note phones (before the exploding battery incident).
My Note 2 and Note 4 both had great battery life.
I like that T-Mobile has that new band that is suppose to be better in-doors (and over larger distances), but it sucks it's still barely supported by phones and even worse that it isn't in my city yet.
I think I like this one the most of all the "bezel-less" phones.
I keep coming back to wanting an LG G6 even though I own an XZ1C.
Are there any cases that cover the camera lense specificially? It's easy to scratch and lacks gorilla glass protection.
The G6+ is a bit much for my budget as I have to buy an iPhone 8 at some point this year so my only hope is the G6. Only problem is...
I can't decide between hifi dac vs wireless charging in the US model. 32 GB of native storage disgusts me so I need help choosing between G6 models.

So according to this leak, the Note 9 will have a 4000mAh battery. Does this seem like it would make up for Samsung's lackluster battery performance?

yep one of the earliest rumors. Seems pretty much confirmed now. At the very least should be better battery than note 8 and s9+.
lol does Essential even have any water resistance rating?
This is some real shit. Good on OnePlus, taking software updates seriously finally
Looks like "My Bixby" levels may be gone starting August 10th according to a termination notice for "My Bixby" level service:
Nokia phones are legit for most of the World.
It's a no go for the US.
8/10 phone. Pretty damn good specs and support for midrange phone.
Feels pretty much like the Nexus 5 of 2018.
Thanks. I'm in Canada and they are being sold on Amazon.ca(third party seller) plus they seem to support most networks here.
I think that they have finally had gotten to the point as to where the node die (?) had finally shrunk as to which they could now afford to put in a bigger battery.
Everyone should post their current homescreen and setups in the official Reset Mobile Homescreen thread. I'd love to see what you all have setup wise.

Funny you ask, Preview 4 just dropped: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/07/02/android-p-developer-preview-4-now-available/
I'd give it a greater chance this time, since they already laid the ground work in 8.1 if you had a dark wallpaper. Now they give you the option of staying dark, light, or changing based on wallpaper. Also this is probably the final beta release so it's pretty much final.
Lol, thank you so much for this. And I was wondering why my cable won't stay in the port...
So my mini Gear Sport review.
Good - Rotating bezel still better than anything Android or Apple has done. Real water proofing is legit. I like my blue band. I like my health apps.
Bad - Nothing major, but I still feel like I don't need access to my notifications or time on my wrist. Like all of these wearables are great for exercise, but feel like just an extra luxury for everything else considering the pricing is like $200+ for the top end smartwatches.
TLDR - If you don't need the mst for Samsung Pay it's the best Android Smartwatch you can buy for the price. Wifey got mine for like $230 from BB as that was cheapest.

Just got the projector mod for the Z Play. This thing is fucking awesome, omg. I love the mods so much.
man i kinda just want a small pico projector i can blast on my ceiling in bed.
This one works like a fucking charm. It is one of the first things I did lol
Some phone retailers have had demos in the past, I seem to remember a Verizon store having a demo area where you can try out different mods (like the projector).
Installed P DP4, and the weather is now displayed on the Always-on display. This is great! So many times I unlock the phone just to check the temperature outside, now I don't have to.
Fuck me...I never really bought too much into this whole "planned obsolescence" garbage. But the past 4-5 weeks, my iPhone 6S+ has been randomly dropping calls, hiccuping WiFi connections, freezing, strange drops in process/framerates. Weird.
When I mentioned that to some buddies the other day, they reminded me about the story Apple put out about how they DO throttle your device as it ages. Is that shit present on Android, too?

Not to derail this topic and make it about Apple, but you have the option to not throttle at the cost of battery life in battery settings. It will tell you the overall health. Also, you're eligible for the replacement program: https://www.macworld.com/article/3245168/consumer-electronics/iphone-29-battery-replacement-faq.html
Plus iOS12 is a few months away, and that will be a significant performance boost on older devices like yours.
Unfortunately degrading batteries are just a matter of fact on either OS, how they handle it differs.
No, I appreciate the info/education. I'll read into that. Anything to keep things moving until the Note 9 releases.
Android planned obsolescence is the company will stopped caring about the current phone once they released the newer one a few months later.
Project Treble? I know nothing! Huh, there's an Android 9.0 coming out soon? Gee golly wiz Google, I'm confused, I only knew about Nougat, I swear on my life I didn't even know there is an Oreo!
The amount of midrange and chinaphones out there that are still releasing on nougat are mindbogglingly high, but I respect their balls for their blatant noncommitment to OS and security patches.
For others running the P beta: Do you also have the issue that can't scroll through your list of timers in the clock app? Or is this some weirdly specific issue only I'm having?
