    Samsung: Galaxy Note 9 Pre-Order Thread

    I say that's pretty good value considering last year's Note 8 came in $1499 for a 64GB version. Ordered my blue 512 GB version. Not a big fan of the Blue & Yellow combo but got bored with blacky black and feminine copper.

    Would you give up your iPhone7 Plus for the U11?

    Unless you're on WiFi that is. They won't let you choose on mobile data.

    That 1 speaker is pretty damn good.

    Tolerable to me. Then again, I come from HTC. Pixel's magic is in the software. Nothing else comes close.

    Audio quality with headphones

    I'm quite picky about Audio quality and come from a HTC 10 and my other phone is an iPhone 7 plus. Also own several boses, beats, ATs. Above mentioned headphones sound tolerable on the Pixel. But the HTC High Res Audio headphones(costs 40 dollars I think) paired with a pixel sound ammaazing! So...

    Dumping Note 7, Sell me on the 10

    I have always used an iPhone and an Android phone(secondary). The other phone is always a latest Samsung. I gave away the Note 7 and moved to 10. My iPhone is a 7 Plus. Things I missed from Samsung: the screen, camera, monster battery life, the large screen factor. Things I've gained on the...

    coming from a note 7?

    I switched from the Note 7 today. Early days but man, the sound quality on the 10 tho. In Australia, we get the HTC surround headphones in the box so that's a big plus. Clean software, beautiful and rich sound quality, I'm expecting battery life to be in the 4.5 sot mark so that's OK. Yet to...

    Galaxy S7 Edge - early issues thread

    No problems with overheating here. Gmail pushes through reliably but I've set my push settings every 6 hours or so as I'm more concerned about my work emails on Office365 being pushed as they arrive. No slomo gate on my phone either. I haven't had the need to try power saving or ultra power...

    Looks like my iPhone is 'trusty' no more.

    I couldn't justify carrying a big *** iPhone 6S Plus anymore. One thing Apple have going for them is the resale price so I sold the 6S plus and thought I would get the SE but it was too small for practical use and I felt it cramped my hands. Hence a 6S was procured and becomes my 'trap' phone...

    Looks like my iPhone is 'trusty' no more.

    One thing I forgot to mention(maybe underestimated) is the waterproofing. We've had some rains in Australia recently and it's such a peace of mind just keeping the phone in the suit pocket knowing that the phone will be fine. Some pictures taken on edge: Posted via the Android Central App

    Looks like my iPhone is 'trusty' no more.

    Always been an Apple guy with family members all on Apple devices. I've always also had a trap phone - more often than not an Android device and I've never had the inclination to change. Also bought the Galaxy S7 edge as a trap phone and just thought I'll give it a whirl on my main number. With...
