Are you guys going to buy the new Google phone?

At first I said no, Nexus 6P has been a great phone and I haven't even had it a year. Then I started leaning 50/50, because I like new tech. Now that I have seen the rumored price point for Pixel X 32gb model, I am leaning towards no again. Once we know full details I'll make a final decision.

just got the nougat update. dont really notice much difference

It depends on what you considered big enough changes –


*Quick Switch

*Multiwindow

*Reply to messages from notifications shade

*Control which apps show you notifications by long pressing notification

*Security updates will download automatically now

*Improved Doze (which is a great feature to me)

*Apps you haven’t used in a while will close automatically in Recents

*Apps install quicker and take up less storage

*Clear all button

*Emergency Info in lockscreen

*Customize Quick settings panel

Google Pixel prices sounding mad expensive. $649 i think for the pixel. so the Pixel XL gonna be more expensive. Possibly $799

Just stick with your 6P's, unless it comes with IP68 and extra storage

This issue still has me

All those smart people at Google and none of them can see the advantage in developing a real android alternative to iMessage that's actually ingrained into the os?

I'm praying that Allo is the answer, but if it doesn't have SMS fallback then it's bushes status.

Going from the iPhone 5s to this new Axon 7 is jarring. shyt is night and day in terms of size, customization, pretty much everything. Finally got a day off to really mess around with it

Any recommendations for apps and whatnot?

The dual app feature in nougat is great. Way better than the one I had on the g4

Allo is trash. You can't send SMS directly. I uninstalled almost immediately.

I gotta get a new stylus for my note 5 and I destroyed the glass on my priv. Nit still works, but is only a matter of time before shards of glass start falling off.

Im gonna be checking for all that new shyt (relatively).
