This is 9h glass back with laser cut lower point for the matte look. Even keys will have a hard time scratching it and what looks like scratches most of the time is just residue from the keys.

You generally change the notification sound for each app in the App itself. For example in the default sms app it's settings, notifications, advanced, sound.

I'd Personally suggest the P3XL. Two reason's one. The moto being that large, I would have to check, but probably is wider screen just shorter. That means going to a smaller phone like the P3, will probably mean a cramped keyboard in comparison. Easier to go from a tight keyboard to a large...

Yeah I did a transfer that way with my Nexus 6 to my OG Pixel XL and it went well. But it was even smoother and quicker smoother this time with my OG Pixel XL to Pixel 3XL. Little disappointed there doesn't seem to be a wireless option this time (not that I would have used it but it would have...

Out of context for the time sure. I mean even the biggest phones at the time weren't really outpacing it by that much. But unlike the others, they were the ones that at one time had 99% of the capacitive touchscreen phone market and the number one reason for the Sales of Droid 2 / Droid X's...

Yeah most of those are out of context and heck the last spindle drive I got was 10TB, but still people even with a well bloated Windows 10 install could get away with using a machine with only 100GB. The closest to an actual statement was Microsoft saying you didn't need more than 640KB of ram...

Got mine in today. Haven't powered it up because I am waiting for case and glass tomorrow before putting it into use. But one thing I can say is I was thing the glass would ruin the feeling, making it feel too light, making it feel cheap, it something like that. But nope it feels the best in...

I dealt with enough OEM optimized Android phones in the past but honestly TW is probably the most invasive, most different, most bloated of all of them. I will give Samsung kudos for taking it from the dog it was to what they have now. But as someone that has been mostly Android since 2009, I...

Man I remember one CEO of a major Cellphone manufacturer proclaiming 3.4" as all you needed.

I think he meant as true phone supplier. The nexus 1 up to the Nexus 5 where pretty much Google sponsored phones from other manufacturers. The Nexus 5 was the first real attempt to have a Google commissioned phone. The Nexus 6 ended up being a rebrand of a product mid development. The Nexus 6p...

Black Pixel XL 128GB ordered late Oct 09. Original arrival date, October 22-23. Just shipped. Considering where I had it shipping to 75% chance of arriving tomorrow.

It's hard to take a review seriously when it is needlessly hateful and spiteful. I have been reading Ars off an on for nearly 20 years now and I was ashamed to read that review. You can have a negative review without it reading like a hit piece. He has valid concerns and most have come up from...

Re: Ars Technical did NOT think too highly of the Pixel 3 - extensive review I really hate those kind of articles. There are a lot of legitimate points in there. But obviously something with the phone rubbed him the wrong way and became less of a review and more of a hit piece. Also just not...

Google Play store so I could buy the warranty at once. I doubt I will keep the phone more than 2 years and buy that point ebaying a well kept used one would be cheaper then maintaining the warranty and paying the deductible. Oct 21-23 shipping date.

Project-Fi is actually setup to dual home. It will use T-Mobile as the primary service (which is why Fi's global policies basically match Tmobiles). It uses Sprint as the back up service, on top of using Wifi-calling, It will even use local open networks automatically and create a VPN to Googles...
