Thinking of jumping ship from Apple as this 5s' battery life is getting pretty abysmal. I'm accustomed to its size, and I'm sure I could probably learn to deal with a 5.5 inch screen but are there any standout Android phones which are about the size of the iPhone 6/7 non-+ versions? Not really a power user on my phone, so my options are pretty open, but a good camera and battery life would be great.

The Pixel is almost exactly the size of a 6s and is coincidentally also the phone you should buy.

Rickets posted:They may not be white but that sounds better than their real colour, dried semen (GM loves putting this colour on their Cadillacs, too) Honestly as much as I hate the dearth of color in cars these days, I sort of like that Cadillac dried semen color. I'd never buy a car in that color, or anything that's not an actual color rather than somewhere on the grayscale, but I do like its depth. For real though, phones are boring enough and I'm not going to use a case so if I'm buying a phone my formula is always [anything that's not black or white] > white > black. Black is so boring, I can't imagine.

I'll take either black or white over gold, it looks tacky as hell imo and yet it's incredibly popular.

The dastardly hand of the patriarchy makes me feel the need to reject it out of hand, but I am tempted by rose pink for my next phone. It has a delightfully gentle pearlescent sheen that I really like.

I can't see the color pink, so it does nothing for me. All I see is the gold and that looks tacky to me.

Any easy way to move from one Android device to another and get apps installed when also changing Google accounts being used? My wife got a new phone and instead of logging in with multiple Gmail accounts I set them all to forward to her new account G4+ to g5+

EdEddnEddy posted:I know it might sound like voodoo but one thing I tried with my 6P that had that issue, was flash the original 6.0.0 OS image directly from Google to the device using ADB and the easy batch file FlashAll.bat that's in the package, load it up and run the battery from full to empty. Then recharge and flash the latest OS image. Definitely worth a try. Flashing 6.0.0 now.

I'm still sitting on the fence between a Pixel 1 or a Pixel 2. Maybe if I waver enough I'll manage to hold out for a Pixel 3.

Bixby is fine if you're using it to control the device settings or do a specific task. All the other features can be done better with Google Assistant.
