Just received the OnePlus 13R. Few quick observation. - Build quality is great. Love the astral trail color. - It's fast. Coming from a Z Fold 6, it feels faster. - Display looks great. - Flat is best. - Oxygen 15 sure is different than One UI. Maybe I'm missing something, but it is annoying I...

This is interesting. My Pixel 7's FPS works better than Galaxy S21 or S22 I used to have. And that's with a tempered glass screen protector on the Pixel 7.

Yup. That's a good size. I'll probably get the Pixel 5 in the secondary market to replace my Pixel 3 in few years. Unless a true flagship phone of that size comes. :)

I think obsession with thin phones is part of the problem. I would have no problem with a thicker phone if they can squeeze in a good size battery. It's looking more like the 845 SoC based android flagships are the last of the great "smaller" phones. But I guess with the midrange chips being...

This. Is it too much to ask for a smaller phone with top line specs? I was also looking at S10e, but still too expensive in the secondary market. Hopefully some high end smaller phones will come out this fall. Just not the foldables.

I have a S20 FE. Great phone. Love everything about it, except the size. I guess it's considered a normal size phone now days. On a whim, I bought a used smaller size Pixel 3 for cheap on eBay. Man, that's been refreshing to use. Love the small footprint and being able to do everything with one...

I think I can confidently say S20 FE's battery life is excellent. I've pretty much settled into my routine with this phone and this is what I've gotten the past week. - 7am to 11pm. 5 hours of SOT with 45% left in battery - Don't play games, but mostly Youtube, social media, texting, email...

I'm wondering the same with other users. I got my FE on Sunday. The battery life seems good, but the first 5% usage is little weird. Based on the battery info for the last 7 days, I've been averaging about 5 hours SOT with about 40% left by the time it gets plugged in. I usually unplug around...

If you like the fingerprint scanner on the back of the phone, then you should get the G8. G8x has the in screen scanner. It works, but it's not fast. And from the leaks I've seen, the G9 might also have an in screen scanner. I like both the G8x and the G8, but it depends on how big of a phone...

Dang ATT. I had to return my phones because they couldn't get the phones with reserved numbers activated. Man, LG gets no luck. Great phone yet poor support from the carriers. Luckily, there was a store near which had some in stock, so I just re-ordered online and picked up a new one within 2...

I actually don't notice it. I have a dark wall paper and use the dark mode, so the teardrop disappears.

That's interesting. I wonder what would happen if SIM doesn't get activated? I'm not seeing the new number in my account yet.

Nope. Got the new SIM and it said it's not provisioned. Will try again later.

Thanks for this info. I was wondering how Google Camera would do with this hardware. I wanted to get the G8 (missed out on the free upgrade offer from BestBuy few weeks ago), but when this offer came, had to jump on it.

Yes. That's what I was thinking too. Too new. At least I have the phone to enjoy. Hope you're enjoying yours.
