At least then I can wrestle with similar-sounding Swedish words instead of it just thinking I'm speaking English while drunk off my rear end Given you can enable eight different dialects of English, it's probably very sensitive to accents and won't work that well anyway if you're not a native speaker

nimper posted:Still has the impossibly large chin just so they can put the HTC logo front and center. Pass. The glass chin is where the display/digitizer driver lives. It's possible to squeeze buttons on top of it, as HTC used to do before they switched on on-screen ones, but there's no way to fit a large speaker on there. I admit it's goofy looking but it can't be helped without losing the nice audio v  v

Mr SoupTeeth posted:Regardless, I'm sure HTC could ditch the huge bezels and retain the speakers. I wouldn't be surprised if the bezel is purely a design decision, and one of many rather poor ones. Not with their current speaker design, it spans the entire thickness of the phone and height of the metal lip: https://i.imgur.com/3BrpKre.jpg / https://i.imgur.com/ulI8EZi.jpg

CruJones posted:I really don't like the protruding camera. I've always liked not needing a case with HTC phones, but this would make me feel like I needed one. They did have the sense to use a sapphire lens this time instead of the lovely glass on the M7/M8, so scratches shouldn't be too much of a concern.

Fart of Presto posted:How much is it due to hardware and how much to software? It's both. The Nexus 5s hardware can be convinced to record 1080p@60fps or 800x600@120fps using a hacked driver, although it's a massive kludge that breaks all conventional camera apps in the process. Google could add the software switch to make it work properly but they haven't because reasons.

MC Hawking posted:I'm with you 100% man. The only way I could ever see actually using biometrics for logins is if that poo poo is stored locally on the device in some sort of electronic equivalent of a bomb shelter. That's pretty much how Apple does it, the biometrics run on a second tiny embedded processor which has exclusive access to the sensor and stored data, so even with total control of the main CPU you can only ask "Match? Yes/No" and not see the specifics. Hopefully Qualcomm were equally thorough with their isolation.

DXOMark have rated the 6P as the 2nd best phone camera on the market, second only to the Galaxy S6  The 5X uses the same sensor right? The only difference should be the ISP if it differs between the 808 and 810.

It throttles pretty hard in plastic phones, but the metal body on the 6P might offset that if Huawei properly heatsinked the chip against the case. No way to know yet

The bits of the AMA we didn't already know: Storage is eMMC 5.0, not the faster UFS 2.0 that Samsung are using now USB data is still running at 2.0 speed They are trying to get T-Mobile band 12 working before shipping Full device encryption is backed by ARMv8 intrinsics, shouldn't cripple performance like it did on the N6 No support for HDMI out, they assume you'd use a Chromecast No support for Bluetooth aptX codec, but they're looking into it e: 5X has the same optics as the 6P, as well as the same sensor which we already knew. Only difference is the more advanced ISP in the SD810. 6P has the latest generation Samsung AMOLED tech P stands for Premium, X stands for...

Super Dude posted:6p has more RAM, a fingerprint reader, larger amounts of storage, and some extra camera features. 5X has the fingerprint reader too, but otherwise yeah. The camera sensors and optics are the same but the 6P has 240fps slowmo (vs 120fps), 30fps burst capture and electronic stabilization that the 5X lacks due to its weaker ISP.

6P was never going to have wireless charging, it can't penetrate a metal case and the glass window at the top is too small. We can only speculate why the 5X lost it, probably a mix of cost, thickness, fingerprint reader in the way and reversible-connector turbo-charging making it less important. And yeah, Marshmallow has a standard API for fingerprint authentication.

They should work fine at normal speeds, but existing QC2.0 turbo chargers won't turbo charge the new Nexuses since they're using the new USB-PD spec instead.

hotsauce posted:I keep hearing this and believe it, but it runs the 810. Why does a different plug shape mean it suddenly won't with QC 2.0? QC2.0 isn't automatically available because it has an 810, the device needs to pair it with a Qualcomm power management controller, and be certified by Qualcomm, and have a licence fee paid to Qualcomm. The OnePlus Two uses an SD810 and they also opted to skip QC2.0 to save a few dollars (but forgot to add an alternative quick charge method because :oneplus:). repiv fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Oct 4, 2015 |

In the past they've done it because Snapdragon chips had superior LTE support for some markets, not sure if that's the reason for their next flagships split though.

Droid Washington posted:Is voice recognition determined through software or hardware? My Note 5 has no problem picking up "Farnswood Lane" when I say it into Google Maps, but my wife's iPhone doesn't understand when you say the same thing into Google Maps. Hers picks up "Farnsworth" or "Barnswood" every single time. Is it because Google Maps isn't as good on Apple or because her microphone is older and not as good or something? With the exception of always-listening hotwords like "OK Google" all voice recognition is offloaded to the cloud. If Google Maps is using the native API for voice it will be processed by Apples servers instead of Googles on iOS. Needless to say Apple has a lot less experience with that kind of thing

The OnePlus Two underclocked the 810 and gained 200mAh over the One, but lost about 20% of the Ones battery life. Same story with the Z3C to Z5C - gained 100mAh but lost about 15% endurance.
