Android |OT| Now in 120hz

I just wanna share the my OG pixel bricked over the weekend coincidentally, so I got a new phone too
what phone?
Note 8 and 9 are on the July security patch as of late July and got the June patch in early July.
Can't believe it took me so long to figure out how to disable the terrible gesture navigation thing on Pie. Having a separate home button and currently running apps button is so much better.
Android's settings menu needs some work, it doesn't make much sense for "Gestures" option to be in the System menu. User interface could be a separate category.

What are some good Bluetooth controllers to Play emulators with? Looking for one of those that has a holder as well.
Yeah, I was so glad that I could put the buttons back and go back to vertical scrolling list of apps.
Throughly bland
Buuuut 90hz screen confirmed for the Pixel 4:
....with 2800 and 3700 mAh batteries
My S10e has just about a perfect battery for me.
Only issue I run I run into is if I play games for a while or stream more than an hour of video while I'm at work.
If it's true that Samsung batteries don't degrade as fast as other phones, and there aren't any obnoxious Android updates that kill my battery life, I'm hoping to keep this phone for a while.
Hopefully in 2 years or so 90-120hz screens will be more efficient.

Too busy trying to learn ReactJS this week to make a thread.
That being said phone is zzz.
S10e still got the best value especially when it was only $350 at BB with activation for a week or so.
Both Note phones look underwhelming to me. And those prices are not helping either when you're getting less. No thanks.
Yeah... idk.
I still think i might just go for the note 10 with the $600 trade in for this iphone x I have around here...
There are little things about oxygen OS that is really annoying me these days, otherwise 7 pro is dope.
Still hilarious that the op 7 pro has a (slightly) higher res and higher refresh rate samsung panel than Samsung's top flagship.

I think that's what I'll do too. I love the stylus, but I'm guessin the S10+ is better?
I'd like to use my Note8 for another year, but the Pie update killed its battery life and it has become a huge inconvenience :\
Doesn't look very flattering, same oversharppened over processed images samsung likes that smooths over all the real detail, just like on S10. Their image processing is so bad compared with everybody else, it's baffling. At least gcam ports can mitigate it somewhat. The selfies just look bad...
Nubia unvealed the dual-screen Nubia Z20 earlier today in China (video in Chinese):
It's a refined version of last year's dual-screen Nubia X, with a Snapdragon 855+ processor, a 6.42-inch curved AMOLED display and an upgraded triple camera setup (which supports up to 8K video recording) as the main new features. They've also added some gestures (see 3:00 mark), including HTC-like squeezing and the ability to lock your screen by touching it with the palm of your hand. Phone is getting a global release (including the US) in September.
Curved displays is something we're going to see on all upcoming Chinese flagships later this year.

If you don't need the S Pen, S10+ has everything you can get from the Note plus headphone jack
I posted this in the galaxy unpacked OT, but it's pretty slow.
I asked if it would be better to get either a TabS4, a TabS5e, or wait and get the TabS6. I'm a samsung/android guy and would like to get a tablet. Just wanted to see what anyone recommend.

depends on what you want an android tablet for. all 3 basically have the same amoled panel, so for video consumption all are the best. If you wanna do some light laptop work.. tab s6 is the best bet. 4gb ram on my tab s4 is a struggle with reloads.
definitely recommend tab s4 > 5e especially with the price these days. also has headphone jack, and spen
Thanks for that. It's pretty much just gonna be an extension of my note 9 when charging. Basically a Netflix/ companion app/ e reader.
I didn't realize the smaller Note 10 didn't have a micro SD card slot until I read an article about the phone on Verge.
No headphone jack is already a bummer but not Micro SD card makes it a huge no for me, even if I think the phone at least LOOKS nice.

its pretty big for e reader. should be fine for the others.
if you want an ereader friendly android tablet with decent power. see how much a xiaomi pad 4 costs to get in your area.
sd660 is decent power, and its an ipad mini sized tablet.
I've asked before and got no response but, does smart lock just not work on any android?
I just run my screen without any lock or even swipe. I dont want that hassle as I'm constantly checking my phone and running podcasts or music off it, and I dont want to even swipe yet alone do any kind of security (pin or biometric), every single time I open my phone. However obviously running without any lock screen security is a little dangerous.
Smart lock seems the almost perfect solution, it's supposed to keep your phone unlocked at the geographic location you define as home, as well as whenever it's connected to designated bluetooth, which would also defacto keep it in unlocked in my car, basically with home and car covered I'm good. Once I discovered this feature existed I was excited.
So I turned this on when I found out about it on my old phone an S8+. Didn't reliably work (keeps randomly locking my phone at home). I even tried a few solutions I googled (that I shouldn't have to do) such as putting a pin NEAR your home and designating it as home rather than using your actual home address. Still unreliable. But it seemed googling revealed a fair bit of problems related to smart lock and the S8+, so I chalked it up to that phone.
Until I got a brand new latest and greatest phone a few months ago the One Plus 7 Pro, And hey guess what, smart lock still doesn't work. Any tips?
WTF, Google.

Also in a separate post about the note 10. I wont lie I'm a gadget lover, of course I want the Note 10 if money was no object. That said comparing it to my months old OP7 Pro, I'm very happy with my OP7. I still get 12GB RAM, 6.7", no camera cutout,and a 90hz screen and paid 749 for it. Whereas it would cost me way over 1000+ to get 12GB RAM on the Note 10 (at least at first, Samsung prices do fall). I honestly figures Samsung would go all screen no camera cutout with the Note 10, either with a popup cam or the coming camera under display tech, but I guess it wasn't ready. Next year I guess.
I will say the one thing that bugs me a little about my OP7 is despite that in reviews the screen brightness nits is measured close to the latest Samsungs and Apples, in reality outside on auto brightness in direct sun it's a lot harder to see than my old s8+. Not sure if it's because of the super large 6.7 screen, the factory preapplied plastic screen protector (which my S8 didn't have) causing glare, or just a actual dimmer screen. That's really a very minor issue though, almost never affects me. Inside the brightness is great.

I'm having this as well on Tmo. S10. Not just you. Appears to be a service side issue.
Edit: I have the s10+. I usually get the new note; that's why I'm still on the Jump plan. But it would seem like the fold is the better Note this year?

its the more exciting option, but man, im not confident at that plastic screen, as someone that's used plastic screen protectors before... those get messed up within weeks of daily use.
edit; also tmobile says they weren't selling it?

The newest beta killed notifications on my Pixel 3a. All I get is an icon in the status bar, even for incoming phone calls.
So I'm feeling to get a new phone this year, primarily as I want something a bit bigger and with a better camera than the One Plus 5 I'm currently using.
Currently looking at either a One Plus 7 Pro or a Pixel 3 XL. Any recommendations between those two, or should I wait to see what the Pixel 4 family is all about?

Friend of mine for his as well, does your keyboard also have a gap between the bottom and the navigation buttons of the OS? He shared a screenshot with me, and there's a strange and large gap on his phone. Even with other keyboards.
Not at all. Maybe some Chinese brand put an experimental design like that out but nothing more than that.
the rumors suggest next iphone design has hole punch for example, you can expect more of that design replacing tear drop notches that were the prominent design this year.

The main reason I'm upgrading to the N10+ is because I'm able to pay the 20/month I'm paying for the NO. Otherwise I'd probably look into the S10+ myself. I love the S pen too so I definitely wanted to make a lateral move when it comes to that.
This is a sexy ass phone, I cannot remember at all beyond the Pureview when was the last time a glass back had flush cameras. And its pretty feature rich too compared to some other companies. Man I wish I could afford a flagship.
Alright. It's just I expect Apple to be behind with a year like they usually are. And Galaxy S10 already has the cutout instead of the teardrop. I was hoping the S11 could have a chance of hiding it behind the screen. But maybe it's too soon.
It appears that Verizon is doing what amounts to a buy one get one free deal on the Note10 when you switch over. Any downsides? I am a veteran so Im not sure what pricing comes out to. I see $30 per mont on 4 lines, not sure about 2.
