At least it doesn't have curved glass!!

Ha, yeah. I think people feel locked into an ecosystem but really, they're not. It's just a feeling these companies make you feel. There's certainly some inconvenience and headache so I don't blame you for not wanting to do it. But if you did want to do it, it's not too bad.
No they weren'tSo OnePlus was sending Oreo beta users' clipboard data to China lol
So there are five or six sites that I regularly visit multiple times a day on chrome on my phone. The main way I do this is to open a new tab and chrome just has those 8 icons for frequently visited sites.
Facebook and Twitter, big surprise, are probably the sites out of those eight I tap the most, but chrome still regularly removes them from my list of eight and replaces them with a site I've been to like once. Wtf? It's so annoying.
Facebook app is the worst.Is there a reason you don't use apps for social media instead?
I'm not super technical but it seems that it IS sending data from the clipboard to China, even if it's not the entire contents:
Is it as bad as the sound quality on the S7? Utterly awful.I'm guessing the stereo speaker thing is like the Pixel 2 implementation of a bottom speaker and then using the earpiece rather than front facing awesomeness. But hell, anythings better than the piddly little shit at the bottom of an S8.
Stratification of models I bet.4gb ram? How? Didn't they notice the performance improvements on the note 8 with more RAM?
6 GB is for the S9+, apparently.I'm just flabbergasted. That's unacceptable for a 2018 phone. As much at the s8 was an incredible response to the note 7 fiasco, this seems like a major blunder. Playing it so safe could be the opening that HTC and LG need.
No they weren't

But keep trying to justify your $1000 phones LMAO. I'm getting rich from you guys because my stock in the $1000 phone companies keeps going up

Actually it seems to be samsung experience 8.5 that offered more of the performance boost.
People been praising the performance of samsung experience 9/oreo on the s8.
4gb ram is low but at least it seems to be an option for the plus
Agreed been complaining about this for my p2xl for a while coming from op5I have S8 Oreo, the performance does seem to be better (could be placebo) but things like app reload and tab reload is still an issue, and RAM can help with that. That's a big part of what makes a phone feel snappy. 4GB ram is going to prove highly inadequate for an Android flagship in 2018, I feel fairly confident in making that statement.

That still mostly happens on the Note 8 to the same degree. It's more aggressive battery management than a lack of RAM. Even using Chrome, there's usually a GB going free.
I wouldn't turn down more RAM, but on a Samsung, I doubt you'll see a huge amount of difference.

Aside from the hardware, every other aspect of my Essential Phone experience has been about frustration. Mostly, it boils down to horrendous software stability and performance. Despite dozens of updates and the anecdotes you may have seen that indicate performance issues have been "fixed," it most certainly hasn't. The Essential Phone is handily outperformed by a Moto G5, and that's just unacceptable — at $699, for sure, but at $499 as well.
This is art at its finestWhy are you digging up articles from like three weeks ago. Oh, that's right it's AJ
Quick question, what is the best app to locate the phone, wipe remotely if necessary, etc?
Sony flagships are still beasts on 4 GB of RAM. They got their shit down. The just need to stop fucking on their camera and make sure they have a good fingerprint solution ready.
I recommend the Essential all the time here. I'd like to know if I'm wrong in doing so.Why are you digging up articles from like three weeks ago. Oh, that's right it's AJ
Good to hear. If I could grab one for $200, I would.My Essential outperforms the Moto G4 Plus I had, and it's snappier than the LG G6 I picked up on the cheap. The only thing I don't like is touch response near the edge/sides sometimes don't register, and the camera after all the updates are average at best.
It' a great stock Android experience that doesn't lag, has a great screen, great battery life, and charges quickly (faster than the LG G6 fast charging). I still wouldn't buy it at the original $700 (lol) price, but the under $200 price I did get it makes it a great buy. I think if it sold for under $400 from the get go it would have been a solid choice.
I don't have any issues with instability or anything like that.
I don't think it's a large screen problem, it's an Android Auto problem. I have it on my head unit and there's many things that could be improved.Google is so terrible at large screens. Like holy shit.
RIP where ever the ICS tablet team went.
Sony in general has solid software optimizations across the board, their ram management and battery endurance ratings are some next level black magic shit. Its why I am really curious about the XA2 and XA2 Ultra, their predecessors managed above average times for battery life with sub 2500mAh batteries and mediatek chips, rivalling phones with 625s and ~3500mAh batteries. Sony Optimization+SD630+3300mAh Battery, I dunno if we are ready for the results of such a marriage.Sony flagships are still beasts on 4 GB of RAM. They got their shit down. The just need to stop fucking on their camera and make sure they have a good fingerprint solution ready.
I really like the new design of Sony XA2. SD630 + 3300ma + 23mp dedicated camera button - sounds really2 good to me.I don't want to buy a phone with a garbage or mediocre camera, so that rules out Sony phones. Plus their design is super dated. Too many compromises.
