Essential Official Android Thread

[serial]

Definitely a beast but likely too expensive compared to the OP3/OP3T imo. I get that the flagships normally have expensive price tags but what separated OnePlus before is that you could get a flagship phone at a mid-range price.

Agreed still cheaper than the other flagships though.

Any update on the LG V30? I only get phones w/ removable batteries amd thats the 1 Im anticipating most

Note 4. I got the note 5 and I love it too death but having 32GB of storage is wrecking me.

Note 4. I got the note 5 and I love it too death but having 32GB of storage is wrecking me.

That's what I'm leaning towards although it's kind of hard to find it outside of eBay. Battery not bad on the 4?

Yeah, it not bad. The note 4 battery is bigger than the note 5. It really just depends on how you use it. Amazon life.

Get something with replaceable battery amd expandable storage. We need to got towards these to get companies to stop this embedded shyt.

So I noticed when I set Google's mess app as my default, I would get 'wap push si' in the Samsung app. WTF, is that making me vulnerable? Is everything good?
