    Is facial recognition of galaxy s8 really easy to fool?

    Yup. A picture from your eyes on another phone seems to do the trick. It needed something to recognize depth to make it more reliable, but I wouldn't use it anyway. Too gimmicky

    Stereo Speakers?

    I don't think it has stereo speakers. It wasn't mentioned in the unveiling nor by any reviewer and, by the looks of it, it's just one bottom firing speaker. Still, they're shipping those awesome AKG earbuds in the box which is pretty cool in my opinion

    Dual Speakers?

    I don't think so... It wasn't mentioned at all in the presentation and by reviewers. Still, I'm pretty happy they "offer" proper earbuds.

    Snapdragon vs Exynos variants

    Which version do you think is the best on these phones? I've always heard Exynos chips are better and more consistent over time, but I'm pretty excited to see what the new Snapdragon chip brings to the table. Opinions?

    S4 Mini suddenly died

    Hey, Thanks for your help first of all. Yes, I have done all those things and it doesn't seem to affect anything. The phone is completely dead. :/

    S4 Mini suddenly died

    Maybe I should give that a try, but I'm not convinced it is the battery. It probably is the motherboard. Thank you so much for the help!

    S8 or Note 8?

    I think it is a cool feature, but I'm not sure if I'd use it that frequently. Maybe if I got used to it I would really like it. Thanks!

    S8 or Note 8?

    Hey everyone, I'm really interested in a Galaxy S8 or S8+, but I don't know what would be the best buy between that and the Note 8. From previous experience, have any of you owned any of the most recent Galaxy S phones and a Galaxy Note simultaneously and, if so, which would you personally...

    S4 Mini suddenly died

    Hello everyone, My dad owns an S4 Mini for just over two years. The phone has worked fine the whole time and it has been taken good care of, but all of a sudden it died. He charged the phone completely and unplugged it from the charger before he went to bed. The next morning when he woke up the...

    Really blue Pixel with black front! (video)

    I wouldn't do it. In order to remove the OEM screen, you need to force it out, not only breaking it but running the risk of scratching the phone in the process. That is never good and it's hard to live with if you love your phone.

    Any moderate to heavy users think 32 GB will be enough with all the cloud storage options?

    For a phone capable of recording video at 4K and with that hardware, 64GB would be the sweetspot, but if you don't plan on keeping too much media and games on it, you should be fine, especially with Google Photos available to you at original file size. I have a 16GB Nexus 5 (yes, 16GB) and I...

    Redesign Google Messenger

    This is a big finally. I was so bored of the old design, it looked the same since I updated to Android Lollipop on my Nexus 5, two years ago. It doesn't look nor feel immensely different, but it's a breath of fresh air, at least.

    Facebook notifications?

    I have Android Marshmallow on my Nexus 5 and I don't have the notification number on the app icon. TouchWiz has that built-in, but on stock Android you can only have it with Nova Launcher and the Tesla add-on.

    is it true that all reviews have shown the Pixel XL to have no damage after underwater for 30 mins?

    It's likely going to have problems on the long run... Same applies for waterproof phones in my opinion
