Upgrading my Nexus 5 to something else as the battery is puttering out. Thinking of getting the 5 inch Pixel because similar size and the Nexus 5 was great. Any recommendations around here?

The next iteration of Pixel phones are supposed to be announced at the start of next month which is only a few weeks away.

Google Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 will ship with these two awesome new features, leak claims

You might want to consider waiting for them if you are thinking of upgrading to the newest tech or wait for the price drop on the old Pixel when the new ones are released.

My 6P has it's battery crapping out for the last few months (phone switching itself off at 15% battery life), really annoying and I think I will upgrade when the new Pixels are released.

Yup, they replaced mine for the same thing in July.

Damn, kinda wish I had the problem again if they are now replacing with Pixel XLs.

I'll see what they announce about the new Pixel, but I also find the new LG v30 tempting.

I am not paying $800+ for a phone so the previous generation is fine with me. I'll wait until the release and price drop though.

One plus 5 is good in the specs dept and half the cost. 8gb of RAM and almost stock Android.

I mean, do you really think they are going to verify a random shutdown issue if they've already given you a warranty replacement on a model known to have that defect?

I say contact support and say that you are starting to see random shutdowns at low battery % again. 99.99% that they'll ask you if you have tried to factory restore the phone and if you say you've gone through support steps they'll just replace it with a Pixel XL.

Had my 6p for awhile now and not had any problems yet. It's actually my favorite phone I've ever owned

1K for the new iPhone...and it ain't even red!

Apple event 2017: iPhone X unveiled

Already got people on my Facebook working on the financing for that. Need that iPhone dawg

Well, at least it looks like Apple is catching up to high end phone standards from 2017, no bezels, dual cameras and so on.

How has iOS been laterly? Haven't looked into it for a while.

I'm seriously thinking of switching to Iphone. I'm sick of androids shitty permission system.

How come the iPhone x has some retarded ass fucking notch in the top of the screen?

This is just it, Apple are proudly showing off features in this new iPhone that my Samsung Galaxy has had for ages.

OLED Display = 2011 on the Galaxy S2
Wireless Charging = 2013 on the Note, 2014 on the Galaxy S5
Facial Unlocking = 2013 in Android 4.0
No Physical Home Button = 2017 Galaxy S8

So yea, congrats Apple. Great job adding features your competitors have had out for 4-6 years / generations of phones now!

Why the fuck do people get so brainwashed with this company?

I was thinking the same thing. Comparing it to the Note 8, the only thing I see it having the advantage on is the processor (how much better idk, because I don't keep up with phone processors) and a better camcorder.

The issue has always been apple was lacking in hardware, but their UI / UX was better. Now that apple is playing on the same field hardware wise it should edge out samsungs turd of android.

Apples ui/ux is awful. Android is better and customizable
