Of course I'm interested. Mobile tech is always struggling with the dichotomy between input space and carry-ability. Some sort of folding/multiple screening is the latest way to deal with the conflicting needs. I'm interested to see how they all do it. Does that mean I'll buy one? Not...

I don't reply much to articles on Android Central, but when I do, I notice that part of my text (and usually part that I'm typing) near the right bottom corner of the text box is obscured by the [Comment] button that I need to tap on to post my comment. Is there any way to get that to float...

Exact same issue on a Samsung S8edge. Interesting thing: When I'm signed on in one google profile, it always has "my location" as my home. When I sign out of maps and sign in using another google profile, it finds my current location accurately.

Ouch! I like all that I see about the S8+ except this. That's a lot to put out, even for a flagship. It makes me wonder what the Note8 will run.

I can't see them taking off the SD slot again. They removed it in the 6 generation and then put it back for the 7s (although they didn't go with Google-standard handling of SD's. You don't have the "merge with local storage option."

Actually, no. The probability is very small, but one thing you learn in statistics is that "very low probability" is not equal to zero and does not mean it won't happen. Technically, you could flip a coin 5000 times and have it land on heads every time. That said, as it is unlikely, one should...

I have a tablet I use at work solely for teleprompting. We also have a tablet at home that my wife uses. I've always held the opinion (though not strongly) that tablets are not an ideal size. They're too big to carry with you all the time so you inevitably set it down. I'm never in a situation...

For perspective: This is the first time a Note has gotten the OS update before the next model was released with the new OS. I'll probably still be interested in what the Note 6 has to offer, but one factor (finally) won't be getting the current OS faster. (I know. I know. #firstworldproblems)

I would very much like to win this little beastie.

I just got a CASEFORMERS Ultra Slim Note 5 Armor Case. It's incredibly thin while still providing basic protection. It also has a kick stand. I had a much thicker combination case that provided excellent drop protection but also prevented wireless charging. It was too much of a chore to take the...

This is the best Nexus yet. I like the biometric (fingerprint) reader, the Google Pay integration, and especially the Nexus get the updates directly as soon as Google makes them.

Why do I want one? Start with the Nexus update model. I get updates as they're released by Google rather than waiting on my carrier to integrate all their extra non-sense (and sometimes clip a few things out). Most importantly, I get security updates right away. Add in a good looking, sturdy...

It's not really a "new" feature, but I like seeing the fingerprint reader on more phones, especially the official Google line. It moves the feature from novel to standard. BTW, I'd like to win one :)

I skipped the Edge on the Note 4, but I'm still very curious to see it at work. I'd very much like to win the S6 Edge+ to give it a thorough look-see.

I've been solidly in the Note camp since the Note2, but I have to admit that I almost never use my S-Pen. I was intrigued by the Edge variants when they started appearing. I'd like to give the edge notifications a try.
