I have had one for about a month and I love it. I have an S7 also and have stopped using it for the OnePlus. Nothing bad to say about it at all. Selling my s7 because I like it so much. The dash charging, which is their own fast charging is awesome. It charges from 20% to 80 in about 25 minutes, all while I'm still using the phone. Very solid build, feels good in my hand with their extremely thin case on it.
I didn't know that. I assumed it was like the S7. I really wanted to try a note 7.
S7 you don't have to press either. You do however have to press the home button, power button to make sure the phone is "active" if that makes sense. So i guess in theory it's not truely no button press
Did you get the case made by them? I saw on their site multiple options made of wood (or wood appearance). Do you know if they use Gorilla Glass (or something similar for their screens? I often throw my phone in my backpack with pens and stuff so don't want it getting scratched up. My N5 is still pristine in that sense. About the fast charging, does that only work if you are using one of their cables/chargers? Anybody know if any of the off-brand car chargers (like Anker) can mimic the speedy charge?Emerson Biggens said:
Yes, I got the "Karbon" one they make. It's barely there, only weighs a few grams, but protects from scratches and provides grip. It does have gorilla Glass. No scratches or marks at all in the month I've had it. I believe only their chargers do the extremely fast charging, and I haven't tried using others. It is a USB type C. I bought the phone, the case, an extra wall block and cord, and a car charger with cord and it all including shipping was 480.
I read this and see the 32GB Pixel for $650 and wonder if the extra money to basically have Google Assistant (and maybe the VR capability) is really worth it.
I don't even see the big improvement of the Pixel XL over the Nexus 6. It has a faster processor and 1GB more RAM, but I'd be giving up a half an inch of screen, wireless charging, stereo speakers, OIS, and the ability to change the battery.
Well I am several generations old, using the N5 (not N5X), so anything will be a huge jump up for me it seems. Going to the larger format phone has me a little nervous as I've never had one that big (giggle). Is there a good value phone (along the lines of the One+3) for the 5" format?
The new Honor 8 just came out and is getting great reviews. It's $399, and was actually $350 on Monday for one day. You can get it at best buy and Amazon. It's a very nice looking and feeling 5 incher... TWSS
Good call on the Honor 8. It does have a slightly slower processor than the One Plus 3 and less RAM (3GB vs 6GB) but it has a microSD slot.
Not sure why the 6P doesnt get more love. Absolutely love mine and have zero interest in moving on to a Pixel
I looked at the 6P when I jumped to the Note 7.
Received the explosion proof box. The phone has to be put in a bag which goes in a box which goes in another box which then goes inside another box which is lined with ceramic fiber paper. And they put some gloves in there. Probably got cancer from the whole process.
I was close to pulling the trigger after my exchange, but too many unknown variables steered me to the S7. I absolutely loved my Note 7 and, in the end, the S7 seems to be the closest thing to it, save for the stylus. Side by side, in fact, the phones are almost identical in size.
Can't swipe anymore. Takes 2-3 seconds to wake up now. Google Now doesn't work anymore. I'm sure there's more. I don't use my Nexus 6 for all that much, but ever since the software update, it's got issues.
what is with you people and removable batteries? Do you always carry a battery with you? If so, why not just carry a small power bank and get the better phone?
Did you bother to read the rest of his post? If you hold on to your phones for a while, the battery life erodes and you need to charge it every few hours. But if you can replace the battery, you can buy a fresh battery and toss the old one.
if you get an S7
