Snapdragon 630, with a 2700mAh battery, and a 5 inch screen. That isn't an XZ4 compact, that's an L3 with a fancy name.
I'm pretty ready for the OnePlus 7 Pro. My 3XL runs like crap probably thanks to the 4 gigs of RAM, so it will be nice to have a phone with 8+ again. Still trying to decide between the 8 and 12gb ram variants.
Did you you see the news about how it's suspected that digital being may have been causing all of those pefromance issues?
I turned it off and it still has piss poor memory management. Apps have to keep reloading.
Yes, that wasn't going to change.
I think with phones like the One Plus 7 Pro and Galaxy S10 series, we're going to be set on phones for a while...
OnePlus 7 Pro is already pushing this trend but phones aren't going to look much better than this..
This is the Pinnacle of design for this phone form. I would just like to see a similar design in a 5 inch footprint and 6 inch footprint as it would benefitvmore people.
Fodables will have some work to do before I take them seriously.
Yeah I can see this phone lasting me awhile. I don't see many improvements coming down the pipeline other than 5G
Agreed. The only thing remaining to correct at this point, looks wise, is getting rid of the chin. But that's a minor thing that is barely anything.
Agreed. If Samsung's claims that their batteries only degrade like 5% after a year are still true (and they don't ruin performance/battery life with an update), I can see myself holding onto my S10e for a long time.
4G is more than good enough for what I use my phone for, so 5G isn't a bit plus for me. Foldables are neat, but not worth the risk for at least another few years.
Only thing I can see tempting me in the short term is if Apple ever beings back a fingerprint sensor to the iPhone (either a very reliable in-screen one, or side button sensor is fine like the S10e). I loved my XS Max (screen is the one of the best I've ever had), but there's just too many cases where the Face ID was a hassle.

oneplus 7 plus is the same size as a Note. I can't go back to a giant phone after using this S10e
Google really needs to have OnePlus make their next Pixel but stick to the smaller size and leave the larger sizes to OnePlus and everyone else.
It's not even stock. It's close to stock
"ASUS's ZenUI 6 shares branding with its earlier software efforts ...
... So this isn't quite a pixel-for-pixel recreation of Google's Android UI, but it's extremely close."
"And as far as the interface goes, ASUS has pivoted hard towards stock Android. It's not quite Android One, but it's close enough "
It's even one of the bigger headlines in that article
"ASUS is shipping near stock Android, and plans to be one of the first to Android Q."
Otherwise, looks really good for the price. I wonder how the cameras are.

For 500€ its easily the best option after the 1+7, if not better. I mean, stereo speakers, headphone jack, micro sd, Asus custom software for audiovisual, and a just right full screen is a hard combo to beat at that price. And camera samples this early are pretty damn grest.
Man, I just bought an iPhone SE last month, but that Motorola One Vision looks amazing. I wonder how games will play on that aspect ratio, though. I need my Marvel Future Fight fix.
Man, if it wasn't for lack of Verizon LTE band support and how much I've been loving Samsung Pay I'd actually be tempted to return my S10e to get that Asus instead. Killer phone for the price, there!
Why does he say xz4 compact? doesn't fit the "compact" line, and Sony calls it Xperia Ace, and it wouldn't be released outside of Japan
Oh they got sample units? I should check mine out after I watch John wick tomorrow
Samsung won't. Their marketehare is barely being touched.
Others, probably. But it will come at a cost of cut corners.
(Seems Asia specific)
Doesn't want to pay for IP rating tho
(I like the OP7/OP7Pro just the stupid marketing gimmicks like the IP rating thingy hit a nerve)
That's awesome, what kind of screen on time are you getting? And where'd you get it?
I have a Pixel 3 right now and I'm considering jumping ship. The battery sucks, I've had hardware issues (this is my third phone), and the RAM issue is actually a thing. Camera is great... but it loads to a black screen half the time -- sigh.
My father-in-law has a P20 Pro and loves it. Wonder if the P30 Pro might work for me..... also thinking about maybe the Oneplus 7 Pro, though I heard it's huge.
Huge news.

New devices or everything? I got a family member a Huawei tablet s few years back and will replace it if she's going to lose Gmail.
Says future phones, but might mean Huawei can't do phone updates anymore either, as they'd need re-certification.
Huawei emui is already garbage...now it will be straight dumpster fire without Google. Glad didn't get the p30 pro and I won't even bother with the mate x.
Supposedly the OTA update that was just released is the one that got it the DXO mark, so might not be needed anymore.
I would expect this to be resolved in little time (between the US and China) otherwise China will retaliate
China's already "retaliated" by banning Google, Facebook, etc., within China.
They're not "banned" per se, they're blocked until they adopt the CCP's censorship policies (which I hope they never do).
Yep although a ton of components come from China
Just limiting all the rare minerals used in electronics would fuck over every mobile phone company on the planet
Finally someone beating in terms of zoom what old Nokia did with the 808/L1020
Only took forever
Apparently if you connect your Pixel 3a to WiFi and let it idle for ten minutes it freezes up: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/bqktex/3a_xl_shutting_down_when_left_alone/
Can't reproduce the error on my Pixel 3a. Apart from a sometimes disappearing navigation bar and regular Android MMS failures, I haven't experienced any bugs with my device.
That's good. Perhaps a specific network configuration, a channel, or band?
Hopefully an easy software fix for those affected and not anything hardware related.
Does smart lock just never work on Android? It didn't really work on my s8, but I thought there were some s8 specific bugs involved. Finally got the One Plus 7 Pro. Set it up, it worked for a day, but now is already locking my phone at home which of course I had set up as a trusted place.
I'm in the same boat as you, having configured Smart Lock to recognize my home as a trusted place. It only works intermittently on my Pixel 3a as well.
