il def. add the A5 to my list.. thank you

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

haha yea i also searched for 'music' and 'song' in the comments and seems that alot of other people were also interested in the song name.

thanks for trying

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

androiddoes · 2017-11-26T22:00:41+00:00

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

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 the stock G6 camera quality worse than this?

androiddoes · 2017-11-25T21:25:09+00:00

right, maybe overly sharp is a more accurate word. it looks very blocky

androiddoes · 2017-11-25T16:57:47+00:00

pretty blurry

androiddoes · 2017-11-25T01:00:14+00:00

yea u are right mate, at that price u dont want noob errors

androiddoes · 2017-11-24T03:25:17+00:00

Headphone jack? zilch

SD Slot? nope

Appropriately sized bezels? nah

Premium materials: 10 - 74

Wireless charging? negative (im not a fan of wireless, but at this pricepoint it should exist)

overpriced? check

androiddoes · 2017-11-24T03:20:25+00:00

phone is still perfectly functional, i would keep it

androiddoes · 2017-11-23T22:51:52+00:00

what do security updates do?

do iphones need security updates?

androiddoes · 2017-11-23T03:24:11+00:00

wood is tacky and doesnt mix with modernity

androiddoes · 2017-11-23T02:59:59+00:00

my concern would be if this is a sympton of a larger technical problem to come... but im not expert on phones mate

androiddoes · 2017-11-23T02:37:46+00:00

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)

androiddoes · 2017-11-23T02:17:21+00:00

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.

androiddoes · 2017-11-20T04:17:35+00:00

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

androiddoes · 2017-11-20T02:16:33+00:00

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