    Redditor with Pixel XL in hand. Good stuff

    Ran into a girl with a Pixel XL while hiking today. She was with a couple guys with DSLRs who were taking her picture as she posed as if she was taking pictures with the phone. She said she didn't work for Google, so I'm guessing they were with an advertisement agency hired to take product shots...

    Are you gonna buy it?

    At these prices, it might be wise to at least wait for reviews first. Of course then you won't have the excitement of getting it on day one. Guess you could always return it, but it's hard to let go of something sometimes.

    Do any Best Buy locations have demo units yet?

    Haven't seen any yet, but they do have the Honor 5X, which is low end, but will at least give you a feel for their software (EMUI).

    Where to see the Note 7 in-person? Demo Displays?

    Yeah, it does stutter more when scrolling compared to Nexus phones and the Moto Z. Just open Google Maps on a Note 7 and a Moto Z, zoom out a little, and flick the map around some. The Moto Z is almost completely smooth and the Note 7 stutters even though it has equal specs. This is why I'm...

    If you're on the fence, try one out at Best Buy

    I first played with them at Best Buy on Thursday, so they've had demo units for at least a few days now.

    Which would you prefer? Water resistant or replaceable battery?

    Water resistant. Not very useful (for me). Replaceable battery. Completely useless (for me).

    No LTE on AT&T

    Some reviewers said it got LTE on AT&T for them. But it only has 1 of the 2 most common AT&T LTE bands, so it will probably only get LTE in about half of AT&T's coverage area.

    Shattershield and Screen Protectors

    Played with the Z and Z Force at Best Buy and decided on... Wait for it... Neither. The battery is too small on the regular Z and I don't like that the camera isn't as good as the Z Force. And I don't feel like the screen of the Z Force is as good because it didn't feel quite as close to my...

    Is the OnePlus 3 1080p screen good enough?

    I own both a 1080p Nexus 5X with Google Cardboard and a QHD S7 Edge with Gear VR. While the S7 edge does look better, it doesn't look that much better. Both look fairly pixelated. And part of the reason the S7 Edge looks a little better could be because the Gear VR headset is just nicer...

    Order status

    I ordered through The Loop app about 10 minutes before the web page ordering went live and got a shipping notification from DHL the same day I think. It will be here tomorrow. I just chose the free shipping, not expedited.

    Am I the only one unimpressed with the S7 camera?

    I agree that it's a bit overrated. Overall, the photo taking "experience" is probably the best I've ever had due to the quick home button double press to launch, super fast focus and capture, excellent ability to automatically detect when HDR is needed, great manual controls, and bright screen...

    Things I've disabled with Package Disabler Pro on my Verizon S7 Edge

    I do disable full blown apps that show up in the app drawer if I know I'm not going to use them, but I don't go disabling every service and apk known to man unless A) it's running in the background even though I don't use it or B) it's causing a specific problem like it's force closing or...

    Youtube videos lagging

    Did anyone else experiencing lag turn off "Annotations and in-video notifications" on the YouTube desktop site settings? I turned it back on and it may have fixed the issue, although the issue was somewhat sporadic before so it could be coincidence.

    Cases for the S7 edge

    Re: Galaxy S7 Edge cases I actually bought the red one but returned it because the power button was really hard to press with it on. Case looked and felt great though.

    S7 Edge AT&T Software Update (3/18/16)

    Re: AT&T Update for the S7 Edge Installing now. Really hope this fixes the occasional freezing when playing some YouTube videos in 1440p. edit: Not fixed. Damn.

    Youtube videos lagging

    I tried that and it didn't help me. Still get some stuttering after a minute when I set YouTube videos to 1440p.

    Any one regret their choice of S7 edge over the standard S7

    I like the bigger screen, I like the bigger battery, and I think the Edge just looks cooler than the regular. No regrets.
