Hi All, Been looking for a phone with these specs for the longest time but cannot find any, wondering if you guys can think of any like this? - 6" screen MAXIMUM - 4000mAh battery minimum - NFC - Decent camera (at least as good as the older Galaxy S9) - Can't be too old either (2 years is...

I love small phones and am looking for one, please see my thoughts below: Must be equal to or smaller than the S10e The S10e is 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm, maximum height of 142mm, max width of 70mm, don't care about thickness Must have at least SD660, SD835, sd845, SD855 preferred NFC is a must...

Hello all, I used to be a proponent of Google News and Flipboard, as they provided full length, phone optimized articles (text & pictures only, no web UI) for reading. However, both apps have stopped providing optimized articles but are instead just showing mobile webpages (at least on Android...

I'm a Google News user on both phone and tablet, and there's been a change to the In-Article formatting from news sources such as Android Central, Android Authority, Verge etc. It used to be a format where photos and text was extracted from the webpage and displayed nicely, but now on the phone...

I would like to buy the Nokia 7 Plus from eGlobal Central, however I do not know if Google Pay is supported (aka this might be the Chinese version with a Global ROM flashed on). Has anyone gotten their Nokia 7 Plus from eGlobal, and does Google Pay work properly? Thank you.

I’m looking for a widget the size of an app icon that will play a specific musical note when I tap it, for example middle C. I would like to drop this onto my home screen so I can easily tune instruments/vocals to it. I know there are piano apps that have piano widgets with 8+ piano keys...

Yeah I think I used the word binning wrongly. I was talking more about defect rate per batch. Does Samsung pay more money to Qualcomm for batches with lower defect rates than a smaller manufacturer (both companies buying the exact same product)?

My dad used to work at Fujitsu and he told me that lower level laptop manufacturers will buy "poorer" binned batches of CPUs, LCDs and other binnable components at a lower price. As an example, a top tier manufacturer like Dell will only buy batches of Intel CPUs with 0.01% defects and won't...

I have installed the google app on a new phone (the Xiaomi Mi Note 3) and when I open the Google app, it gives me the message "The Account is not Eligible for Feed" I tried adding another account but the same thing happens. Weird thing is that my original phone (The Lenovo Z2 Plus) can display...

Hello all, I've been an android user for a long time and have been searching for a phone that fits what I'm looking for. I currently use a Zuk Z2 which is the closest I've found to what I want: 5" Snapdragon 820 at least 4000mAh at least I don't really care about camera quality as long as...

It has stock Android 6.0 Marshmallow and software is optimized very well. It will get OTA updates like Nexus, but they will end much sooner than Nexus devices, which I believe Nexi are supported for at least 3 years?

Hey man I just did a review on the phone (don't think I'm allowed to publish it here), you can get more help there. But did you do all the wireless updates?

My friend was on the verge of getting a Nexus 6p (his card got rejected by newegg twice :)) before I told him about the Oneplus 3 releasing. We are in Canada, and the N6p is going for around $550CAD on sale, and he's interested in the Oneplus 3, which is $520CAD. For both of us, battery life...

Do you think there will be kernels in the future that will be even more efficient on battery life, like Franco?

I will always be hoping for a 5" phone but that would probably never happen. Everything else looks good though.
