    My first impressions of the Essential phone with Android 9 / Pie

    I also got the $224 deal a few weeks back. Completely happy. This is replacing my ZTE Axon 7 mini that I have had for about 20 months (only paid $199 for that one) which hasn't had any patches or system updates in a year. That one is still a good phone but a) no updates and b) $224 for the PH-1...

    Essential vs OnePlus cyber monday deal

    My wife chose the Essential over the 5T mainly because she could physically hold one at BestBuy first. The $399 Amazon deal was also too good to let pass.

    Can't decide -- Essential, G6+ or 5T?

    I was going through this same comparison to replace my wife's Nexus 6. We ended up going with the the Essential because she got to touch it at Best Buy. There is no retailer to actually look at a OnePlus phone. She also had not heard of OnePlus before. We got in on the $399 Amazon deal for Cyber...

    What is the Best Android Phone under $200?

    Last year's pick, the ZTE Axon 7 Mini still deserves a place on this list. It is still a great phone for $199 and under. Running Nougat 7.1.1 these days.

    Nougat update

    Canadian users - there seems to be some incompatibility at the moment between the Nougat update and the Freedom Mobile (formerly Wind Mobile). It is unclear where the blame lies at this point. 2 or 3 people in the ZTE Community Forums seems to be affected by this so far.

    Tell me why you love your Axon Mini 7 please

    For me, it had everything I wanted at a price that couldn't be ignored - $199 sale at Best Buy last December. It had all the other features I wanted; midrange, SD expansion, NFC, not too big screen, more than adequate battery life. Performance has never been an issue for me, but I am no power...

    Where's Jerry?

    Hey Jerry, It's been a while since I've seen you answer any questions in here. I hope you are doing well and it's only because you've been too busy with more important things.

    Bluetooth Audio delay when answering calls

    What software build is on your phone? Is it B21? If it was on a store shelf for a while, it might not be. I had a similar issue that went away after I updated to B21.
