    7T vs 7T Pro Screen Resolution - Question

    For those who have used the 7T and/or the 7 Pro or 7T Pro, can you see much different between screen resolutions? Where I live OnePlus devices are not sold, so I have to order sight unseen, but I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy S6 with a ridiculous pixel density of 575ppi and I'm a little worried...

    Who still can't make up their mind... Note 10 or nah?

    The Turkish government has seen fit to force anyone importing a phone to pay a $300 registration fee. Once the phone's been on a Turkish network for a few weeks yo either have to pay it or have a nice paperweight at your disposal.

    Who still can't make up their mind... Note 10 or nah?

    Here in Turkey, Samsung and their distributor have made the choice for us. The Note 9 is US$1,100 The Note 10+ is US$2,000 It's a no brainer. Neither.

    Do I Really Need A New Smartphone

    I'm still using my Samsung Galaxy S6, and although apps have started to take a fraction of a second longer to load and the battery is on its way out, the phone itself is still good. I'm thinking about getting something else but only because I'd like more camera options and having moved to using...

    Lock Screen Music Player

    I hadn't thought about burn-in, it's a good point and a reason to change tack. I'll just do the easiest thing and take the headphones off.

    Lock Screen Music Player

    I use Spotify most of the day while at my desk and am wondering if it's possible to keep the on screen display music controls active all the time. I know this will effect battery life, but as I'll have a charger with me it doesn't matter. I use headphones but when someone wants to talk to me it...

    Any chance of letting us know if hand unlock really takes as long as it appears to in the few videos around?

    Very Underwhelmed

    LG are keeping the phones in a warehouse until the right planets line up / a dog with two heads is born / Donald Trump's hair takes flight / the Premiership title race has been decided / the tide goes out. One, a combination, or all of these are the deciding factors for the release date of the...

    Very Underwhelmed

    The main differentiator between the S10s and the G8 is that the S10s are in the shops while the G8 is very quickly becoming a memory. Everyone'll have spent their post MWC money on an S10, Xiaomi 9 or Huawei P30 pro (which although not even announced is likely to be available before the G8). I'd...

    Two or three rear cameras?

    It would appear that carriers can choose between the two, although the 3 camera option is likely to be more expensive. I'd guess that LG are thinking carriers will either offer the 3 option to compete against the S10 range, or 2 camera to compete at a lower price.

    Went to Buy the 6T, and This Feeling Overwhelmed Me...

    That's settled then. Kind of. I live in Turkey, where OnePlus has yet to see fit to sell their phones, so i'l have to wait until my next trip to the UK. But then I'l be there in two weeks, so I'll run from the airport to the nearest retailer. Thanks for the replies.

    Went to Buy the 6T, and This Feeling Overwhelmed Me...

    Can I go right off topic and ask a question I've not yet found an answer for? Tell me to **** off if not. Can you tell me how the cameras compare between the 6T and S6? It's the only thing stopping me from switching but provided they are close to comparable, if not equal, then off I go to join...

    LG G7 with Samsung Apps?

    Can anyone tell me how well Samsung's Gear and health apps work on a G7? I have a gear sport watch, which if I keep to my new year resolutions will be used to track my amazing return to health and fitness.
