How come the pixel doesn't let you use an SD card, I always heard the reason it wasn't a feature on the Nexus was to cut the price but now it costs as much as an iPhone or a Galaxy (which does use SD cards)?

The same reason every flagship phone doesn't let you use an SD card: people will pay out the rear end for more internal storage that way

I'm not an Android fanboy (for context, the only mobile platform I was ever a fanboy of was WP and I abandoned the poo poo out of them because I'm not stupid) but you can find at least one pretty good phone at any given time, and if you don't like what a manufacturer is doing with a phone, guess what, you can pick a different one If Apple does something you don't approve of you just shrug your shoulders and continue shoveling your money into them because momentum will not allow for any other course of action

I had an Apple 5S and it was pretty good. Now I have a Nexus 6P and it's also pretty good. Most smart phones are pretty good.

med school head posted:see now thats all good you make sense when you aren't adding snobby comments about headphone jacks and yopsos I mean, I was pretty much saying the exact same thing as before. The headphone jack is just the most recent example of it. Motorola tried taking the headphone jack off an Android phone, and nobody bought it because there were plenty of other options that still had it. Apple did the same thing, and people immediately started defending them over it because it was either that or not buy the newest iPhone which is a crazy idea

I'll be honest I wouldn't even care about the SD slot if the base option was 64 GB, but 32 is garbage and the only other option is 128 for an extra $100 gently caress you google

The Galaxy has an SD card slot? I have an S6 Active and I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Did they add that in for the S7, because even if they did I'm not sure that cancels out the explosion factorDial-a-Dog posted:I'll be honest I wouldn't even care about the SD slot if the base option was 64 GB, but 32 is garbage and the only other option is 128 for an extra $100 gently caress you google  64GB of storage is necessary for me but 128 is just excessive

I got the G5 for free and the device itself is 9/10, like it's got all the same poo poo that the Galaxy S7 has except waterproofing but the actual design is a bit wonky until you put a case on it but the higher quality camera AND a wide angle camera was the game changer for me. The "LG Friends" concept seems DOA, but at least you can swap batteries. Why can't LG just copy Motorola? Even the Moto mods are kind of questionable too though. All the "flagship" phones right now are so good you almost can't go wrong. Any ways here is a picture the wide angle camera took. #nofilter
