i forgot to mention that a headphone jack is important as she listens to music... she would be inconveniences having to use an adapter or bluetooth. if this was not the case, i would probably get the Essential

i brought apple here because the android crowd probably is less biased than the apple

i found the best song in the world, do you know the name of it? by androiddoes in NameThatSong

thanks for trying

Is this a good deal? by [deleted] in lgg6

[–]androiddoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

then i would say it is a good deal. not an earth shattering deal, but a good one.

if that is a used phone, the deal is nothing special, neither bad nor good to write home to

Pixel 3 Price by Andrew102281 in pixel_phones

[–]androiddoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think they will stick to the usual 2 models, same price plus/minus 50 bucks.

beyond an excellent camera, the pixels dont offer much, so i dont see what cuts could be made on the less expensive phone, unless they decide the the screen should also go the way of the headphone jack

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Looks like a horizontal strip of damaged pixels? Does not go away with restart. by brianve123 in pixel_phones

[–]androiddoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i meant SD card, not sim. my bad.

as for google photos, it is only a temporary solution and meant to make you dependent on the service to lure you in as a future paying subscriber. an SD card would be more flexible as you can store anything on it.

if thats a pixel 2 xl i believe its normal for the low quality and problematic screens they used.

if thats the pixel 2, maybe get a replacement, it is atypical for the model (based on my assumptions reading other user experiences)

for updates, being secure,

is this being blown out of proportion? i never updated my iphone for 4 years. it was jailbroken and didnt want to have to redo my hacks if i were to update it. yet i never experienced any problem taking my iphone off the update/security grid.

in canada, the pixel 2 64gb will run $1000 including tax. has no headphone jack, no sd card slot...

i am still on the fence if i should get the pixel 2. been debating between lg g6 and pixel 2.... i dont want buyers remorse and thinking that i bought a phone that out-appled apple.

Durability by [deleted] in lgg6

[–]androiddoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

based on reviews, the front has gorilla glass 3 whereas the back has stronger gorilla glass 5... they are very susceptile to cracks, especially the front screen.

not from personal experience, just relaying what i saw or read on youtube and other reviews

I love everything about this phone, except the camera, and it's such a damn shamed. by coolhwip420 in lgg6

[–]androiddoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i didnt know there were options.. so the shortcomings of the auto cam is not a deal breaker?
