I'm on the fence. I know that through a Samsung Trade, I can get a S21 for not a lot of cash. I'm a little hesitant because I had a S8 that died (motherboard) after a year, which sent me to a Google Pixel 3. I've had that phone since, and it's been great. Well, until it started bootlooping...

I've had my pixel three for about 2.5-3 years (don't remember exactly!), and I've been very happy with it. I've not felt the urge to upgrade to the latest and greatest at all. That being said, my Pixel decided to bootloop last night. For hours. I keep trying to get back into the phone, but...

Nope! I haven't done anything with that. Doing that stuff is kind of beyond my scope of understanding and time right now. And thank the rest of y'all for your input. I'm going to jump into the customer service routine now and see about getting a replacement. Hopefully it will be easier than...

So it started two nights ago. I went to enter my pin, and my phone kept telling me it was wrong. I know I put it in properly, but each time it was rejected. Finger print worked just fine. So I restarted my phone, and it brought me to the Fastboot Mode. It said my device status was error...

For me, I've tried shuffling chargers every 30 seconds for 20+ minutes with no success. It also sat on the factory charger overnight and nothing. I think it could actually be dead this time...

I'm having a similar issue. I was a bad parent and gave my kid my phone when the power was at 12% just to shut him up so I could have some time to buy wine... Yeah, that sounds way worse... Anyway, he killed it dead. I get home, and put it on a charger. There is a ring with a few icons on...

Every time I drop my phone, it happens in slow motion. Anyone have that same sensation? I dropped my G6 twice on concrete the day before I got my case. In the following months, I've only dropped it on carpet. LOL. I still have that slomo vision when I do! After the horrible death of my...

I have the platinum model, and I have zero scratches on the camera. I have kept mine in a case, but I just got a screen protector. Thus far, the front and camera survived scratch and mark free some time with my tungsten carbide wedding ring. When I do the dishes in the sink or do something...

When I first got the phone, and I did a restore of all my apps from my old phone, I was so angry at my g6. It sucked, battery horrible, nothing worked, glitched, hang up. Factory reset - started from scratch and it's a completely new phone. Only added what I really needed, and I've had ZERO...

I love this phone. Works beautifully. I'm so happy I made this choice! Everything just fits my hand like a glove!

I'm sure the S8 and S8+ are wonderful devices. I'm sure many out there are loving them and thrilled with them. Good for them. I really like my G6. I like the wide view camera, I love the screen (thought I am slightly OLED jelly), it does everything I need beautifully. The FPS is fast and...

Yeah, I really miss those from my Moto X Pure!

So here's a few I've taken. I'm happy with the photos. I know there are some compromises, but I'm still happy with the whole thing. This is my son at a birthday party, rolling down a mat. Not horrible quality in my experience. No where near a DSLR photo of course.

Yeah, I get my butt kicked. By phone idle. But most phones don't show the background processes as part of the battery information, right? Most days, I've been going to bed with14-16 hours since charge, 3-4 SOT, and between 15-20% battery. It gets me through a day, doing what I need. I'm...
