    honest answer. Is this phone smooth and fast?

    Face id cameras are in there. Rather than just have the screen start with a straight edge and be below that hardware, they let screen extend on either side to create the notch. I think it looks ridiculous.

    iPhone X hype train

    Sure, put words in his mouth. Agree with poster up thread, fanboyism is annoying.

    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    Did you come from iOS and move to note? And you didn't lose any, nor did you have to have your friends close out prior group chats?

    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    So this is actually completely untrue and been discussed upthread. Yes, you can text between Android's and iPhones. But for group chats, especially when everyone ion the group chat has iphones, if you go from iPhone to Android you don't get those chats anymore. Happened to me when I went...

    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    How does the watch work with the note? Can you pair an Apple watch and a note 8, or since your watch is lte it can work independently?

    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    iMessage works just like a text message on other phones. People use it as their default text application. So I use it to text with Android users all the time. So in that use case it's just like Facebook messenger or any other sms site. iPhone texts come through blue bubbles, Android texts...

    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    Agree, iMessage does lock you in once you enter the gates. I have been so close to buying a note 8 on Swappa, but that one issue keeps me from pulling the trigger. I'm on too many iPhone only group discussions with friends, family and coworkers. If you are Android, and want to swap between...

    Thinking of making the plunge from iPhone

    I️ am in the same boat. I️ had always been an Android user but got the iPhone 5 after some fitness tools I️ wanted only had iOS support. After a few years of iOS I️ got itchy for a change, so I️ got the note 7 and loved it, and was going to stay with it, but did find that I️ was unable to get...

    Owning the Samsung Note 7 could mean your home insurance is invalid!

    And they could have a clause in contact saying that they won't cover negligent acts like a cigarette unattended or oily rags by a furnace. Insurance is meant to protect you from the unknown, not to cover for stupid risky sections of the insured. They can choose to cover you or not, and they...

    Owning the Samsung Note 7 could mean your home insurance is invalid!

    That really is ridiculous. The insurance carrier has every right took define the terms of the policy, and if the note 7 had been recalled by the manufacturer for starting fires, they have every right to not cover fires from a known fire hazard. Matches are not a fire hazard, they are safer...

    Pixel XL sold out? Buy an iPhone 7 Plus

    I like iMessage, but wish you could manipulate the color scheme. I miss the black theme from my note 7.

    Anyone in this situation

    Your steps and heart rate don't go anywhere? That's a drag. Will that change with Android wear 2.0 possibly? That would be a non negotiable item for me unfortunately.

    Can I use an android phone to customize android wear and then switch to ios?

    Will Android wear then allow me to download Google play music files to the watch, so I can leave my phone at home to exercise? That is what I want most of all from a watch. Since the note 7 went kaput, I may get the 7 plus, but not sure I want to jog with a big device. Hoping the new Android...

    How will the Pixel XL compare to the 7 Plus?

    Talking apps most likely since google has lots of IOS apps..although Apple does have Apple Music app on play store

    More devices effected ?

    It's the rods inside the washer, not how they are loaded. Seriously!
