Have you ever used them? Or you're just going to assume they work as well as AirPods? The Chinese knockoff AirPods are literally 3x the size. But no... Apple isn't doing anything special /s
We were never discussing the quality of the headphones(though I doubt the Chinese headphones sound bad, they're probably fine).
You said:
So are implying that Google is more incompetent than random Chinese headphone vendors?
I'm not sure how this is anything but trolling.
Kinda want AirPods in theory. But I could never get the wired ones into my ears.
Packed up the iPhone. Shipping it back tomorrow.
Man... Back to 1 phone again lol.
Maybe I'll get a note 8. Wonder if any bf deals.

The expectation is that wireless headphones work. Not talking about sound quality but audio sync. Incredibly difficult.
You're quite rude in your replies. Not sure why you're taking everything so personally. Relax, champ.
Being rude is not my goal, but your posts come off as very trollish.
You do realize that you're in the Android thread right? No need to shill for Apple here
And I think the idea that Google, a company that employs some of the smartest people in the world, doesn't have the competence to build truly wireless headphones is ludicrous. The wire was a blatant design choice, it's easy to see just by the way Google wants you to wear the buds.
I genuinely believe if google could release the pixel buds and have them be completely wireless they would have. I actually think they'd be solid if they were $99 or less. That's a more sweet spot. They're asking a lot for 160 dollars considering what else is out there. But I guess they realize it will be a very niche product for the google faithful so why not go for the premium niche category.
For now I just use the Web based YouTube instead of the app. You can still do full screen there. I'm sure Google fucked up somewhere in their update...
I feel like the Samsung way was always a hack.
Google finally natively supports crop to fit with YouTube as it works on pixel 2 xl and iPhone x.
I'm not sure if it's a white list or maybe related to oreo?
Anyone on s8 oreo beta? Does pinch to zoom work?
Well damn I just tried pinch to zoom again and... It worked! It didn't work yesterday. Are there some updates happening in the back ground or what lol because I didn't do anything...
Alternatively this seems to work
1. Install latest Youtube update (maybe try uninstall and reinstall update if you already have latest)
2. Go into settings -> apps -> youtube -> force stop
3. Open Youtube app (done)

Easily the Android phone of the year. For $150 or whatever, easy choice. I wish that blue and copper color would come out. I'd grab one in a heartbeat.

Uravgconsumer loves the Razer phone. Said it's the best battery life he's ever gotten https://youtu.be/qLC8y-r8Iwc

Aren't other reviews about how poor the battery life is? Hope this phone succeeds. Love Nextbit.
That one review from gsm arena was bad. The rest seem to say it has good to great battery life.
for $40 they only have to work 1/4 as well.
they blow way past that bar.
this guy's shtick is underrated. I watched a bunch of his vids a while ago and I like that he just takes a light look at phones from a real life use perspective. I wouldn't go to him for some deep insight/critical analysis of a device but I always find his videos to be worth watching. Similar to MKBHD where I would never care for his opinion or (lack of) insight but his video quality/production value is bomb so his channel is usually worth watching. Like DetroitBorg too!
they're a software company that can't even build a good messaging app... can't really use "some of the smartest people in the world" defense!
I feel like their messaging and video apps are good. They just don't need a new one every year.
I still can't figure out what the difference between allo duo and hangout is.
Damir does a in depth review for the mate 10 and compare to pro.

Wish the screen was brighter but overall nonpro still seems better.

Can't really say he's underrated when he has 1.5 million subs and is making bank lol
everyone all up on that a mkbhd jock no one ever mentions him lol
didn't notice he had so many subs haha

This. He's sooo good.
His iPhone X review is 10/10 gold. He's fucking hilarious in his vids while also being very good at explaining his likes and dislikes.
His LeBron hairline joke, the cafe latte joke, and his usual catch phrases are all there to make me chuckle.
I agree.
I've rooted every Android phone I've owned up until my current Note 8. That was the biggest reason why I stuck with the Nexus line, and opted for a Pixel XL.
However, a few months ago, I decided to unroot my XL. I only rooted for adblocking and theme support, both of which can be done without root on the Pixel running Oreo, or Samsung phones.
I just got sick of the constant hassle with custom roms, keeping magisk updated. The only thing I miss is the ability to make Cerberus a system app.
I honestly doubt I'll go back to rooting my phones in the future.
honestly, all I need is footage of someone using a phone for like an hr straight, doing their normal day to day, and I can get the gist of the phone's performance.
Sadly you don't see that stuff out there. Some quick cuts and a voice over telling me this phone is smooth and can multitask doesn't tell me shit.

In terms of production values all of the big ones are pretty great. MKB, Linus, Austin, URAVERAGE ect... have pretty dope production values.
I feel like Floss gives the best info for most people though, and he's hilarious.

He literally puts phones on a table and hits record on his Samsung Note. Then stops at the 55 minute mark. That's it. It's so terrible but still so entertaining. How
Oh yeah, big time.
When it comes to battery, I remember watching Flossy's Moto Z Play review and he was answering if the phone could last for two days and he just "HELL, no!" even though he agreed it was still the best out there. But for me it easily lasts two full days with what I consider normal to high use.
A reviewer like that though seems to use phones constantly throughout the day. Playing YouTube video while driving, a dozen different services doing constant notifications, etc.
More production values would only make it worse. I don't need a review to have the production values of an indie movie, like it was linked a couple of posts ago. Sure, it looks good, but if it doesn't convey any more information than Flossy does with his real reviews, then it's a waste of time for everyone.
It's entertaining because it's not a 10 minute video consisting of constant scripted dialogue cuts. It's a person who love tech and style and isn't afraid to review the former while considering the latter. He's not being paid off to review something good or bad, just being real about his own personal opinions on the devices in front of him. Plus his cat constantly gets in the way of the entire process.
Think I got the Pixel blutooth bug last night. I had to fully restart my phone because it refused to pick up my car and Tile
Oh seems like the latest YouTube update adds native support for pinch to zoom for non pixel phones.
S8+ and note 8 folks here should try
