    S9+ Headphones are terrible

    The comments that bother me are the ones that say something along the lines of, "what do you expect for in-the-box headphones?" Well, I for one, expect the headphones included in a device that totals nearly a $1,000 to be very good. Considering Samsung touts their devices audio ability and the...

    From a S8 to an S9+

    This is mostly subjective. I recently just bought my S8 after my G6's screen shattered. I initially ordered the S8+, but it was too big. That's saying something because I've always liked bigger phones, but at 6.2", the S8+ was just too big for ease of use for me. as for upgrading, the...

I'm not that gullible. Also, im not a professional photographer...

    Question from a potential Essential customer

    Hello, I cracked the screen on my LG G6 and now I need a new phone. I like big screens. I need them. I like the ruggedness of titanium and ceramic. I've heard good things. How long has Essential promised to update this first phone?

    *Winner announced!* Enter to win a gold Honor 6x!

    Re: Android Central is giving away a gold Honor 6x! I'd love to have this phone. Have been a big fan of Huawei and Honor phones. Glad Honor is in the US, just hope Huawei makes it with AT&T to bring the Mate 10 Pro here in the US.

    OnePlus 5 Initial impressions- I'm on the fence

    Wow...after reading this thread its pretty obvious ill be keeping my G6 instead of trading it for the OP5. The only thing I don't like about my G6 is the rear placement of the home button and the lag that i get once in a while, but then I remember that I got the phone for 50% off through AT&T so...

    How many use screen protectors?

    I use to feel the same way as you about screen protectors, but as long as you get a decent tempered glass protector, it will feel like the glass screen and nice and smooth.

    Tempered Glass Screen Protector s6 edge +

    How is SquareTrade? Are they reputable? Have you actually filed a claim with them yet? I had a similar company a couple years ago and they refused to replace the phone and did a crappy repair job so it ended up not being worth all the discounts.
