    Is there a huge difference in speed between 2.4A and a 3A for Type-C fast charging purposes?

    Thanks for the explanation, guess I'll be sticking with the Trons.

    Samsung Pay: Useful Tool or Cool Novelty?

    Exactly. It's not a mega revolutionary change. It's an evolutionary step toward the days when everything will be processed without the need for carrying around extra cards and cash. The one group I can see being "inconvenienced" by this are welfare recipients. I can see those fraudulently...

    If you couldn't have a 6p, which phone would you choose?

    Nexus 6. Why? Much easier access to updates and toolkits.

    Case Recommendations-Grippy, Slim, Drop Protection

    I got the Rhino Shield bumper for the 6P and not too pleased with how "mushy" the buttons are. I think I might wind up switching to one of the other cases recommended here!

    Need a replacement recommendation for my LG G2, $200 budget

    It was going for $175 on BestBuy for a while. I missed the deal, unfortunately. I think my hesitation with the X (2014) is the battery life. I hear it isn't stellar.

    Need a replacement recommendation for my LG G2, $200 budget

    Title. Also needs to be rootable with wifi tethering possible. Currently eyeing the BestBuy deal which after taxes comes out to just under $200. Any other recommendations would be appreciated.

    Banned from the verge

    Cnet's journalistic quality has also been going down the drain recently too. Fwiw, I truly think other websites out there deserve more traffic than these second rate clickbaiters.

    Banned from the verge

    Assuming op wasn't being intentionally rude, and I'll make that assumption and give him the benefit of the doubt, this isn't a surprise. TV's writers write like they're beholden to Cuperton. It's no secret that they tend to do gadget reviews with what appears to be two sets of standards. One...

    Will we ever have phones with screens and outer casings that are resistant to scratching/shattering?

    Probably goes to show how far Gorilla Glass has come. GG3 has been a significant upgrade over GG2. Makes me wonder whether we'll see a screen one day that can survive minor drops without incurring scratches. Gorilla Glass 4 if it ever arrives hopefully will bring us closer to that day.

    Will we ever have phones with screens and outer casings that are resistant to scratching/shattering?

    Curious. It'd be nice to not ever need a screen protector or case!

    Dang that's cheap. I might just have to jump on it just for the 7.
