    Recommend a Light weight Music Player for Pixel 3XL

    Just picked up a great Pixel 3XL deal in great condition.. but ive found that Music Players are burning through the battery. I was using PlayerPro, but it was using about 20-30% of the battery in one night.. same with PowerAmp.. yet now in 2020.. this phone has great battery life on everything...

    Has anybody got the Android 9.0 pie update?

    I believe its just started rolling out again across Japan, but it hasn't hit the Western countries yet.. Yep, the first builds were rolled out in Russia, and they were bricking the XA2, but it has been fixed... We just have to wait a little longer

    Nokia 7 Plus a mediocre device

    I totally agree here.. I love my 7 plus, although I do miss the stereo speakers for night time / podcast listening, but a decent BT speaker could fix that.. However, I have to agree with you about the camera.. The camera is good, even in low light its not bad... but the only thing I find using...

    Is the HTC 10 worth buying now for 200$?

    Ive just picked one up today for £120 BNIB.. only thing missing was the charge brick, but I had a spare from my old dead U11.. Couple of things: Its now obsolete, so no more HTC OS updates, but HTC are now part of Google, so you still get a few HTC app updates on Play store.. OS build is now...

    Purchase opinions

    Ive owned a 2 XL but currently own an XL... The 2xls are still quite expensive, but the minimum is 64GB, the XL can be found for fairly cheap now at about £150 - £200 pre-owned, but youll mainly find 32GB kicking around, although Google is still offering unlimited cloud storage for the XL. HTC...

    I own an XZ3, Any questions?

    Nope, unfortunately not "out of the box", but I believe it supports RAW through 3rd party apps... Its still an issue, but other than that its a great phone.. but dont ask me why they wont support it.. While the camera app in Pie is vastly improved over the XZ2 and XZ premium under OREO...

    I own an XZ3, Any questions?

    Ok took 2 more images today, however... and Im shocked at this... These 2 images are on AUTO @ 19mpx .. wow, check out the difference in the lion statue detail.. In the past, the difference between 17 and 19mpx has been insignificant, in fact, 17Mpx has always been the preferred setting...

    I own an XZ3, Any questions?

    I thought Ide add a few pics ive taen today, Its rained here all day so, light wasnt that great, so theyre kinda semi low light: All photos were taken on Fully Auto with no adjustments.. (IMO, if a camera can only take decent shots in Manual Mode by messing around for every shot and is...

    I own an XZ3, Any questions?

    As the day has gone on.. Ive been messing with it, thought Ide add a bit more.. - Alot of reviews are bashing the edge sense.. but its fully customizable, and you can have the sensor on the Left or Right of the screen edge, so it doesnt get confused when your using the Volume or power button...

    Update Tonight

    Haha..... This made me laugh.. I do love HTC phones, especially the speakers and camera... but... ugh, the lack of updates and support... Im currently rockin an LG G6, however... the camera isnt that great on OREO, so Im thinking of coming back to HTC... but the lack of updates ..
