This is one of the most common questions I get, and I wish I had a better answer for it. When I wasn't reviewing phones 100% of the time, I absolutely had favorites ... but now that smartphone reviews (both new and Review Re-Do) happen so frequently on the channel, I'm basically on a new phone...

Thanks for watching! I think the most I've ever spent on a single app is probably $10 (Mario Run, not worth it). I have no objection to spending money to support a developer who does good work; in fact I think it's important to do so!

If it were me, I'd stick with the 6P as well.

Whoa that's quite a challenge. I've been spoiled by unlimited data for the past five years at least, so I'm probably the worst person to ask! Ha. That said, I seem to recall Opera browsers offering a feature that would preload web content on their servers before sending it over to you, which...

Wish I could help here, but I've been in the exact opposite position basically forever (never wanted to carry more than I needed to, so I pushed phones into service as cameras well before they were ready). I've seen some cool stuff from Casio, but they don't sell their cameras in the US anymore...

That's a good question. I don't see an option for sharing availability info in the Contacts app of my S8, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Anyone else?

Hi dlalonde! I didn't experience any irregular heating during my review period. I haven't really known the Snapdragon 625 to run hot, so that's no surprise. Still, it has a metal body so you're bound to notice heating quickly if it does happen. I should note that I've often had thermal issues...

Ooh good point – ModernDad often covers stuff not in my beat.

I'm a big fan of the stock gBoard, myself! That Jellybean keyboard brings back some memories though.

Folders inside of folders sound like some horrific dystopian nightmare. :) No doubt some custom launchers allow for this, but I'm afraid I don't know of one offhand.

Totally forgot about that phone until just now! Sorry –*no inside scoop on anything ASUS-related. Wish they'd make more of an effort to push their stuff here in the States, as they do make some interesting handsets. I agree with you that a Snap 625 + $400 price point = win.

Will definitely try for an earbud roundup sometime this summer! Thanks for the request!

Hey! Thanks for the kind words! Truth be told, I stopped using Windows Mobile consistently about eight months ago. Got tired of the constant promises that the ever-present bugs would be squashed with the arrival of the "next update," and the constant announcements of developers pulling support...

Hi Goldfinger, I don't spend much time looking in that space because there are so many cheap Android tablets out there. Used to be that the Nexus 7 was the go-to recommendation in that arena, but that's too old to go with these days. Both the iPad and the Pixel C will give you a great...

Sorry - I've got no info on device release schedules. I imagine it'll be leaked by someone else at some point! :)
