    LG G2 usable in 2018?

    I am debating going back to a G2 in 2018 because i miss the buttons/form factor and the overall charm the phone had, but is it usable still with only having lollipop? I dont use a ton of apps mostly use phone for youtube/twitch and navigation. Thoughts?

    HTC 10 or Galaxy s7?

    Hmm no one owned both of these? Close to 100 dollar difference between them, is it worth the extra for the better screen on the samsung?

    HTC 10 or Galaxy s7?

    Ive narrowed it down to these two phones. S7 pros: Better screen Smaller footprint Lighter Prefer software (samsung experience 9.0+) Better camera although i dont snap too many pictures HTC 10 pros: Prefer the button placements I like the capacative fingerprint sensor rather than having to...

    Are there any new 16:9 phones in 2018?

    I had an s8 for a month and despised the aspect ratio. If you watch youtube or twitch on your smartphone it is a poor experience no matter how you cut it, you get the choice of black bars not utilizing your whole screen or pinch to zoom which fills the screen but you lose content. Let me explain...

    How are the HTC 10's speakers?

    Cool im really only worried about listening to podcasts in bed haha. In car i got bluetooth and for shower as well i got a waterproof one. I really love the form factor of the 10 with the 16:9 screen and front mounted fingerprint sensor, i also like sense UI more than any other manufacturers...

    How are the HTC 10's speakers?

    Ive narrowed my next phone down to a few choices and since every new phone released today is an 18:9 aspect ratio i gotta go a couple years old. I currently have an alcatel idol 3 4.7" and while i dont expect the 10's speakers to be beat mine, are they are least usable? Ive heard because the...

    How to get 1440p videos on youtube?

    I just got a G3 today and i cannot get 1440p as an option in the most updated youtube app. Highest is 1080p 60 fps. Is this a normal thing? The only info i could find on the net was back around when the G3 launched you had to sideload a different version of youtube but that was back in 2014...

    Are you still happy with your G5?

    Is band 17 actually a problem tho? If you look at new phones none of them even have it, hence i would assume band 17 is going to eventually be going away entirely. I am also on cricket but i have no idea what is used around me, my zip code is 55021 if someone is nice enough to check :)

    Best compact smartphone with loud speakers?

    Those are the two things at the top of my list in a phone, currently i am using alcatel idol 3 4.7" and i simply cannot find anything newer that competes. Ya there is the 5.2" ZTE but thats too big for my taste.
