Oh, shoot! I should probably amend my earlier comment about being on monthlies and not being able to upgrade til I pay off my 2XL outright to include this: -IF- I upgrade my 2XL, it will definitely be to a 3XL. I mean, don't get me wrong, in a perfect world, where I was a multi-billionaire...

I'm on the monthlies with a Pixel 2XL through Verizon. Since Google and Verizon are not currently doing what Apple and Verizon do, with the annual upgrade option, I have no path forward that doesn't involve paying off my 2XL outright, and then upgrading. I wouldn't have the disposable income...

Re: Nexus 2016 - Sailfish or Marlin? I am not excited about the 5.5" screen size. 5.5" is sorta my self-imposed minimum size (so that puts me by default in Camp Marlin). 6" is my ideal, though, and so I was hoping the new Nexus would actually go back to that gloriously massive Nexus 6 - or...

Lastly, people are mentioning what they use at work. This is a more boring story for me, but I work managing and servicing a large fleet of office printers and copiers in a large office building of an even larger mega-corporation here in West Des Moines. Though I'm technically an employee of the...

I should clarify my earlier post: Those are the devices I have (I guess I also have a Lumia 520 hiding somewhere that's useless to me now as the insider builds have stopped for it). The devices I use frequently is a shorter list: The device that gets the most use by far is the iPhone. It's...

You know, I'm VERY glad that this thread exists. While fanboyism, or if not that, at least exclusivism tends to be less common in the Android camp than it is in at least one other ecosystem, it's still nice to see something celebrating "multiplatformism". At one point, I was actively...

Oh, to be sure, it'd have to seriously up its game to be worth the time, and this isn't a slam on the Shield at all - fantastic device. I'm not anti-3rd party android at all, and the platform is so much better off because of it....I'm just personally such a 1st party person that if I can have...

Yes! I definitely agree that there would need to be a 500GB version, as well as internals beefy enough to handle gaming on the order of the Shield - or at least the Apple TV, and the suite of software and services to support them.

Two years ago, the Apple TV was a pretty ho-hum product that was cheap, but still didn't manage to be all that successful....and the same was true with the Nexus player. Cheap devices that were "okay", that did fine in their core competencies, but we're nothing special, and despite their low...

I hope there will be more than one size like in 2015. I'm a big-screen guy myself. 5.5" is my personal MINIMUM, and 6" is my ideal. Heck, I could probably even go a little bit bigger than 6", though 6 would probably still remain the ideal. But I know there are a lot of people who would want a...

I have not been a huge fan of HTC of late. But companies can make turns for the better just like they can make turns for the worst, and Nexus devices tend to be good phones. As one of the earlier commenters pointed out, this could be a great launch-point for an HTC turnaround. So, while this...

Yeah, Google has never made its own Nexus. However, Google HAS made their own Pixel, and a Pixel phone would certainly not be inconceivable. And just speaking for myself, a true, 100% 1st party device is something I'd be VERY excited to see. However, none of the rumors I've read seem to mention...

Are there any aftermarket devices that support BOTH Android Auto, AND the Apple equivalent? My understanding is that Android Auto is not contained in the car device per se, but strictly in the phone. It's just, the device has to be able to interact on its end with the Android Auto app on the...

Point of clarification (seeking): Is this question limited just to Android phones other than the 6p or to ALL phones other than the 6p? My answer will probably vary depending on the parameters. ------------IF JUST ANDROID PHONES----------- This one is actually the tougher question of the two...

I like to have accidental damage plans because...well...klutz. :-) I have accidental damage and all that stuff on my iPhone, but I think that's through Verizon rather than through Apple. I was planning on getting a Nexus 6p at tax return time and was kinda sweating about what I was gonna do for...
