    Guess these phones are not worth buying.

    Well, the Duo will be supported for another year and the Duo 2 for another two. Neither was destined to sell in a large number, and they were kind of ahead of the Android game as it's only with Android 12L that the operating system can do what is required for dual screens. Will there actually be...

    Captain 2 phones?

    Hey Mr Mobile, your first video showed what tech you used on a daily basis but that was way back in summer 2016. So are you still rocking two phones? I was a "private 2 phones" for quite a while but I have quietly laid my Lumia 1520 to rest and I just don't like iOS so now I have just one...

    Best Android Phone for Long Battery Life article

    I think for a phone to be in this list then it has to be a good phone period. The Z Play just isn't as good as the other phones on that list BUT it does have better battery life. Maybe the article should be titled "The best phones for battery life with no compromise". Anyway, in the UK we can...

    Whats the best bang for the buck phone with a good camera?

    If you have a S6 Active then you have one of the best Android cameras still available. The HTC 10, Mate 9 and G5 may be as good and the Pixel and S7 are better but that's it. Anything else will be a step down. However the Honor 8 has a good camera and isn't to expensive. It is a fragile...

    Will a SIM card from LG work in a SamSung S5/6/7 phone?

    You can swap sim cards, although they do come in different sizes (mini, micro and nano), you may need to ask your carrier for a new sim card if you have a mini sim and you are moving to a phone that needs a nano if you don't want to cut it down. As for contacts and photos, if you had these...

    Use of BlueStacks

    Hi Jerry, Thanks for agreeing to do this, I love the idea of a direct line to an Android legend. I want to have a play with running some Android apps on a PC, is BlueStacks good in your experience or did you mention another emulator on the podcast? And do you have any tips to make things run...

    How often do you upgrade your phone?

    It is interesting reading this thread. It would seem that most of the posters are "users" rather than "enthusiasts". In the 6 years and 4 months since my first Android phone I have had 21 phones (1 Symbian, 4 Windows, the rest good old Android). I also usually have 2 devices at one time...

    android 7.0 any new news?

    There are many versions to update. Samsung could just do a country variant (Poland seems to get early updates for some reason) quite soon but if you are on a US carrier you may have much longer to wait, probably months longer. But honestly, you don't want them to rush this update. Samsung...

    What are your thoughts on the Note 7 fiasco?

    I bought the Note 7 but cancelled the order the next day. This was before the battery issue came to light. I dodged a bullet there. But I went for the S7 edge as it was cheaper and almost the same. I still fancy a Note 7 though when the price drops.

    How is the battery compared to OnePlus 1?

    Battery life is terrible, the worst part of the device. I go through 1 full charge and 60% of another charge most days to get 3.5 hours SOT. Not a deal breaker for me as I can charge up easily. Posted on my Nokia 3210.

    As long as you avoid Samsung then flagships can be worth it. Posted via the Android Central App

    Lg G3 is it still worth getting?

    Buttons on the back and headphone socket on the bottom are the ideal placement for me. When I use my L930 I am always pressing the camera in an attempt to already volume. Posted via the Android Central App

    Still overheating and laggy?

    Err, the Nexus 5 IS A LG PHONE. The G3 is a fine device. Lag is minimal and I don't really have any overheating issues on my D855. The battery life isn't as stellar as my G2 was but I dont think 11 hours 55 minutes on battery with 2 hours screen on and 38% remaining is to bad. As for...
