False Toaster posted:This is hilarious.. OPO's dubious claims about OP5 dual camera being top tier, yet reviews indicate it's poo poo/inconsistent and lackluster in low light. Icing on the cake is that they stated that they can't even promise consistent security and software updates. Like what the gently caress. Why would you say that on a product you heavily marketed and just released? gently caress just hire a dev off XDA or something. Yeah, the Ars review has image samples that just look embarrassingly bad. Combine it with such a lovely and shady company, no expectation of updates/support, I have no idea why so many turbonerds buy into the marketing. But hey, it has a lot of RAM!

What's the point of dual cameras anyway? Has anyone done a worthwhile implementation? Even on my iPhone shots from the 'zoomed in' camera look lovely enough that I'd rather just crop from the main one (which I think the phone itself does some of the time anyway)

Huawei uses a monochrome sensor with better dynamic range to improve image quality on many of their phones. It also takes really nice 20mp black and white photos. You can read a detailed review of their dual cam setups Here

I'll probably end up keeping my Pixel but I'm hoping that the Pixel 2 isn't made by LG because otherwise, this year's flagship lineup will be extremely uninspiring.

I know this is from a couple of pages back now, but...Nalin posted:I would not get a USB-A charger with a USB-A to C cable, though, as I'm pretty sure standards compliant USB-A to C cables only allow a maximum of 1.5A of power. You won't be able to fast charge with that. What I'm gathering, though, is for extra cables I should stick to the known good cables that have been mentioned and not necessarily just whatever's on the USB-IF list since some of the things on there are also apparently not safe. I'll probably at least end up trying a USB-PD charger and seeing if it still quick charges. If not, I can always look for a reputable Quick Charge charger.

2 years manufacturers is standard in many countries with stronger consumer protection rules. Not to mention statutory warranties can be for the life of the device (i.e. longer than 2 yrs).

Forever_Peace posted:I have an unlocked Moto X Pure that I'll be taking to Europe next month. What are folks using for travel SIM cards these days? ~1gig of data and ~20 texts should cover my needs. In Finland I bought a Telia sim which had 10GB of EU data, 600mins/600txt for 25€/month for my summer trips. Considering keeping it since it has 100mbps unlimited data inside Finland..

My wife and I are both really impressed with the G5+ phones we got a few days ago. The whole package feels flagship with the exception of the camera. The Moto software goodies are as good as I remember, and the fingerprint reader shortcuts are a great addition as well. Good recommend, guys.

Get it from a place with a good return policy like Costco as the announcement of the Moto X4 is expected before the end of the month.

Grog posted:I know this is from a couple of pages back now, but... Yeah, it seems I was a little wrong. I haven't found a single place that really explains all this poo poo, so you have to bounce around to a dozen different places and try to piece it all together, which sucks. So, from what I can tell, a good USB-A to C cable needs a 56k ohm resistor on it. The purpose is to advertise that the cable is connected to a "default usb power" port, which will get you 5V/0.5A. Incorrect cables use stuff like a 10k ohm resistor, which makes the phone think it is connected to a pure 3A capable port, which will then cause it to try to pull a full 3A and possibly fry the port. Anyway, from there it can negotiate USB BC 1.2 to go up to 5V/1.5A, or, I believe, it can negotiate one of the proprietary charging protocols to use higher amperage or 9V or whatever. I'm not sure exactly how you test your own cables. Benson Leung seems to use some special hardware, as well as some special Chromebook dev tools. I would just use it to charge your device through the charger and not risk using it to connect it to your computer.

Dr. FAUXTON'S 5X got dunked in the shitter and died, she reverted back to her N5 for a week while waiting for her Pixel and was neutered-pet levels of miserable. No fingerprint sensor, none of the new emojis, lovely camera, sluggish UI, the whole 9. She bought her 5X at most a year ago so she's not a big sperg about the newest hardware. She immediately ruled out having a Samsung because of how pissed she still is at the Sprint Galaxy Nexus lol.

That's funny, I had to use my N5 for a few days while my N5x got replaced and I was pretty happy with how it performed. Minus the whole 4 hours of updates thing.
