FAUXTON posted:Affordability isn't so much the question as whether or not that $700 or so is best spent, phone-wise, on the N6 at this point in time. Curent phone is an N5 and while it's probably lollipop issues, it's starting to show its age. The only phone that is arguably better is more expensive (note 4), but touchwiz blah blah.

Massasoit posted:Any recommendations for a Bluetooth keyboard to use with a nexus 5? Is like to be able to take notes during meetings without lugging around a10 lbs laptop. My Nokia e90 was perfect for this pre-iPhone revolution, it should be possible to refresh this with a modern touch screen on both sides and get a decent thickness nowadays  It was the only physical keyboard phone that was actually better than what we have today.

butt dickus posted:The Turbo also has a QHD screen. It does have a bigger battery and a smaller screen with different tech, though. My Nexus 6's battery life is way better than my 1080p Note 3's so QHD doesn't necessarily mean bad battery life. Also a lot of the new phones have turbo charging so even if you only have access to an outlet during a 30 minute lunch break it's more than enough.

I honestly kinda like the looks of the S6 edge but it's impractical and watching MKBHD's video showed it's still a janky piece of poo poo. Good for them for getting rid of the swipe fingerprint scanning though.

Stick100 posted:Ummm, what? I just watched his video and his closing line is "I think if I was choosing between the two right now I'd choose the S6 edge". He was incredibly positive on the edge. Granted it's way too early to make final decisions but the S6 edge looks like a really decent phone. I'm really surprised Google has let Samsung be sole owner of dual window for years now. I was referring to the way the UI lagged and chugged as he scrolled. I really don't miss that. Saw something similar on an HTC One M9 video. (no it's not my computer) And I thought dual window was pretty useless on my Note 3.

NihilismNow posted:Why is metal and glass considered high end when they are clearly inferior materials to make a phone out of? Plastic is lighter, deals with shocks better, cheaper, doesn't block radio signals and returns to its original form after it has been bent. Who are all these people who insist on more glass on their phone that can break? I dunno, but Samsung obviously felt like being "the cheap looking phone" was causing them to lose market share. I always have a case personally so I almost feel like I shouldn't buy an HTC One or whatever since it's such a waste. baka kaba posted:I just saw a long Samsung ad in the middle of the evening news in the UK, showing the event unveiling of the S6, people using it on the show floor, and then a couple of PR people talking about how nice all the features are. I don't really watch much TV but I don't think they usually livestream launch events into primetime ad slots On that note, time to check out some cyber babe... what the heck !

Walked around for like 2 hours before finding it. I guess the card would have helped him out in that specific instance, but I can't think of anything else. Most big cities have multi-level parking either underground or stacked high. I usually can't even get a cellular signal where I park because I'm three storeys underneath a tower.

MKBHD is great but he's losing focus a bit, being eaten by his own celebrity. Like his videos of fancy concept cars where he just shows them and that's it. Who cares? It doesn't appeal to car fans due to the lack of detail, or his traditional audience.

I afford new phones every year by keeping my old phone in mint condition and selling them for a good chunk of what they cost me on contract. e.g. I got $385 for my locked Note 3 last week. I'll get even more for my unlocked Nexus 6 next year, then I'll buy another phone on contract.

I see it more as always having the best phone available at a discount than "losing" $200-300. LastInLine posted:To be fair, $300/year is essentially nothing. It's a particularly high heating bill or a minor issue with the car. Holey moley I can't imagine paying that much for heat. I've been upset that my hydro-electric bill is all the way up to $45. But I agree, as an adult you throw away $300 all the time. I'm gonna go to Seattle next week and it'll cost me that much. But it'll save me $150 on shoes.

Is the stock nexus 6 camera freezing every other photo while in airplane mode a known thing? I'm traveling internationally right now and have lost a lot of photos because the camera app is constantly crashing. Only a full reboot makes the camera operational again. It complains about not being able to communicate with G+, and also duplicates all the photos I don't lose. Its the first technical issue I've had with lollipop/n6.

It doesn't look like Samsung has done much with Touchwiz besides stop calling it Touchwiz, so the regular complaints about it will continue with the S6. I used to be in the "touchwiz ain't so bad guys!" camp but after several months with the N6 I find myself not even being able to consider an HTC or LG phone, let alone another Samsung. Always behind the goon trends. Or maybe ahead, I'm not sure anymore.

Thermopyle posted:This is the exact opposite of what just about every professional and user review has said. I haven't touched one yet, so maybe you can explain why you disagree? Every year they say they've improved Touchwiz, and they really do a bit, but it's not significantly different than last gen. The upgrade to Lollipop from KitKat is a bigger improvement. It's a perfectly usable UI, just an unnecessary and universally negative change to a UI that looks and works better stock.

My Apple fanboy brother (6 owner) was playing with it during our delayed easter dinner this weekend and he was impressed. On a related note I had taken my G Watch R off and he was amazed that he could very casually say "OK Google, text Eric, hi Eric" and his watch would beep. Even "text Dad" worked - kinda creepy that Google knew who my dad was. Even my 69 year old mom said "that was amazing!" and she barely understands cell phones.
