looks like they may be retaining the note 8 name after all, I think they should have kept the note series as two separate devices, give the s8 users their waterproofing and their wow the screen has an edge, and all that stuff, and give the note users their replaceable batteries and flat...

I see the edge screen as a gimmick, I have yet to see the benefit and in my opinion it just adds an unnecessary distortion to the viewing experience, they should have released a flat and edge screen variant and let the customer decide. A person in the Samsung store said they didn't release a...

It wont stop me buying another samsung product, as much as I hate how they removed the removable battery and as much as I hate how they went with edge only screens for the note 7, they still make the best phone with a stylus. But I would like them to be open and transparent about what exactly...

I will be looking at the LG V20, but since samsung is still providing security patches for the note 4 (although I dont know how long that will continue to be the case), I may wait till the note 8 is released or galaxy s8 pro or whatever it is called. I think they will have enough time to sort...

I used one in the shop the other day and yes it is fast, but I walked away feeling underwhelmed by the phone. I prefer the display on my old note 4 and there was no feature on the phone that made me absolutely want to buy it. Had they matched apples four years of support, I might have...

I saw this documentary on Netflix today, I think only old time gamers will appreciate the documentary. I use to play snake on the old nokia phones, but I had never heard of the game nibbler before. Anyhow it is an interesting look back at old time video gaming. Space Invaders may have been the...

Can you imagine if you bought a computer, which I should add can be purchased for cheaper than the cost of those smartphones, and they said ih, this will only be supported for operating system upgrades for two years. People would be enraged, google needs to address this issue if they are...

I only ever use google, nothing else.

In Australia, the 128Gb model pixel XL is AU$1,419.00, the iphone 7 plus 128Gb model is also exactly $1,419 coincidence, I think not, they are trying to rip off apple pricing, but two years of operating systems for the google device versus 4+ years for the iphone that is an important differentiator.

I am tempted by the google Pixel XL, the quite black 128Gb model so expensive though, thats iphone pricing, I might wait a few months to see if I can get one discounted a camera better than the iphone 7? I have my doubts. One thing I really like is the notification LED. Its really a choice...

I fully understand why you would want to build a hackintosh, but I don't understand why you would pay a premium price for an apple phone and then want to run android on it, with all of the extra hassle it would entail. Given that there is so much choice for Android hardware, and it is...

I was at a local big electronics store today at lunchtime, and somebody returned one and they said they had to pull them off the shelves because of the exploding battery concerns. I'm glad they are taking the problem seriously, and not going into denial mode. 2.5 million phones is a lot. I...

My note 4 is running marshmallow 6. Of all the upgrades, this is by far my favourite upgrade of them all, I really like being able to set permissions at the app level. If you want a removable battery, LG is the only android option for new release phones,, unless you consider windows. I saw...

In Samsung's defence looks like they were using an aftermarket charger which could have been dodgy After reading a story of somebody being killed from using a dodgy charger, I make sure I only use the ok charger or a reputable brand one which is certified for Australian use.

What version of Android is your note 3 running on? I have been trying to find out from Samsung what their policy is on how long they will continue to provide updates to the latest version of Android for, and also how long they will continue to provide security patches. I could not get a...

As I was using my phone now, the battery died, I just swapped it out, for people who. Use their phones a lot, it is an indispensable feature. Using a portable battery pack to slowly recharge your battery is not the same thing. It's a shame the Fairphone project or Google's modular phone...

Nah it happened straight after playing one of the more difficult rounds of piano tiles 2 I had to uninstall the game.

I bought my note 4 for a little over $700 in Australia shortly after its release, it was on special. The note 7 price here is AU$1349 Thats nearly double the price, so not only is the designs becoming more like Apple, so is the price. I have also read reviews where people saying gorilla...

I was looking forward to this phone, I could overlook the non removable battery, bringing back microsd was a good move, but why no choice of a flat screen or edge model. I just dont like the edge screen, as big a note fan as I am. Im thinking of just holding on to my old note 4 for now, it is...

I was discussing phone security last night, not really knowing that much on the topic, but my brother was raving on about the security on the old blackberries he used to use, so interesting you should say that.
