LG phones don't hold heir value as well as Samsung for some reason so you can get their latest and greatest model 6 months after release for like $400-500 less than what they cost when they were released. It's sweet.

my current nexus 5 [which is a g2 if I recall] is actually a great phone I've had since it launched, if LG is still this quality then sign me the gently caress up

I'm not really impressed with samsung's offerings tbh

heh. I don't know what they are thinking but jumping from 350 dollar really good nexus phones to a 650 dollar phone that doesn't have any improvements and its bonus is that it will ambient listen for OK GOOGLE and anything else you say for data mining sign me the gently caress up.

If you don't pay to have your speech mined for name brands you have not lived.

[edit] lol they only have the Pixel on their store now. Good job you numbskulls, you managed to gently caress it all up again. Why not remove the dual front speakers that EVERYONE LOVED on larger phones when watching youtube or what have you? Oh.. you did that and nearly doubled the price? Awesome.

Always on "OK Google" is already an option and it does a great job at searching for random garbage when it's in my pocket and nobody said anything that sounded like "OK Google"

I was actually thinking about getting a Google Home or whatever their Echo ripoff is, but, among other things, the terrible functionality of "OK Google" on phones made me realize I'm better off just sticking with the Echo. At least that's been out long enough to have some bugs worked out

Google is absolutely terrified of Samsung. So first they made Android closed source (all the good parts anywhow), and now they are making their own hardware. Won't be long until Samsung moves all their phones and tablets to Tizen in response.

It's a good thing though. Maybe this will end some of the horrible Android fragmentation.

Hers what you do you stupid fucker: set your phone so it doesn't lock at work or at home. Takes 2 seconds to make a trusted area or device or whatever. If you're worried about people at work peeping your nudes at work while you're afk then you have bigger problems.
I'm more thinking about when the phone is in the vent cradle thingy while I'm driving.

I don't know why the hell anyone would upgrade their phone like every year. Seems like a big waste for a device that's designed to do a bunch of simple tasks. It's not like a gaming computer where you gotta upgrade constantly to play the latest poo poo.

Because you stop getting security updates on a device that has a ton of personal information.
