I can't figure out what to do. I like the fingerprint reader on the 6P very much and I love the huge screen. Also the front facing speakers are a huge asset.
On the other hand I gather the HTC Nexus will come with 3D touch. Maybe a better camera but that's secondary to me.
Other than that both devices will be running N.
I really don't know if I should sell my 6P this fall and get the HTC. Also, I'm on a 30 month contract with my 6P. So I'm depending on the price of a used 6P not being too low.
What will you be doing?

I'm fairly certain one of the top heads at Huawei flat out said they're making a successor to the Nexus 6P a little while ago. You sure HTC is making the 2016 one?
I'm pretty sure 3d touch isn't coming to the next Nexus.

I may be wrong but there's a lot of talk about HTC making the next Nexus on Google. On the other hand I did find a quote from Huawei saying that they are making the next nexus. I'm confused now.

A lot of Google hits suggest that 3D touch is to be expected. Obviously, I don't know.

I keep my devices on a two year cycle, so next upgrade for me will be the year after!
I love the camera on the 6p, i've never had a better one.
Took it to Glastonbury with me last weekend and some of the pics I got are amazing.
It will take some beating to pull me away from it although if the reviews say its better I may be tempted.
Ugh every year with this lol. More and more rumors.
I'll decide if I'm upgrading when the actual phone gets announced, for real. Not when ten different tech sites post ten different nexus phones.
Fair enough?

It's not. They added it to a dev build of Android N, then removed it due to the fact that most hardware that's going to be out will not support it. It's a huge fail IMO. It's going to be old news when we get it and Android will tout it as a feature. Kind of like iphone does when they add old tech.

I'm the same. Excited for Nexus 2017!
I tend to upgrade every year, the only exception to that rules was the nexus 6 as my nexus 5 broke before it was announced so i needed to jump ship to HTC one m8.
But i will most likely get it based on the release info nearer the time.

Apparently there are two HTC made devices coming, on smaller and bigger. The bigger should have 5,5" display which doesn't sound too good and it's quite strange since displays are getting larger all the time. Can't really imagine myself to step down from larger 6P. Coming from Nexus 6 to 6P was big leap already and I still haven't quite approved it. Those specs leaked from upcoming devices aren't that spectacular either.
However there's also talk about Google's own phone without any brands or labels which could be Huawei made.

Android has had 3D Touch (aka pressure sensitive touch events) since API level 5 that shipped with Eclair / Android 2.0 in Nov 2009: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/MotionEvent.html#getPressure()
The new devices saying "We're launching our competitor to 3D touch!" are literally just marketing. 3D touch flopped on iOS just like it flopped on Android years prior because it doesn't make sense, is impossible to discover what actually uses it and what doesn't, and prevents you from using the much more common click-hold / long-click.
As always, I very highly encourage you to NOT believe me that Android has had this feature for almost 7 years and install something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.casual_dev.forcetouch on the oldest Android device you have. It'll work.

I'm not a big fan of the screen size going down. I think they could of kept a5.7 screen and made the device smaller. But we should see some improvement with the snapdragon 820 and a smaller screen to help out with battery life. I just hope we finally have a device that has good sound out of the speakers. Shamu was distorted and popped. My angler sounds great most of the time but it's really spotty volume wise. The iPhone is louder for notifications with its one speaker than our stereo speakers
The answer is. Absolutely

I would upgrade if they include front facing speakers. My last HTC device I had with front facing speakers was the HTC M8 and I loved it. If the next Nexus does not have them then I'm keeping my 6p.

All options are on the table at this point. I'm not really interested in a smaller screen than the 6P...

Now that google has announced that the final version of Android N will be available in summer , do you think google will also release a new phone at that time?
I think every android release so far has been accompanied by hardware, although I think that jellybean was released with the nexus 7 ( a tablet) and now would be a good time to release a nexus 9 successor, but technically summer ends the first week of September, and the nexus 6p was released at the end of September, so who knows, just pure speculation , what do you think?
I wouldn't mind a nexus 6ps lol , a nexus 6p with way smaller bezels, bigger battery , snapdragon 820, no chamfered edges, a more scratch resistant aluminium, better camera and good camera software
I think that Google will release another Nexus 6(x) device and maybe finally a newer Tablet too. I hope for the love of God that the Nexus 6 (2016) and Nexus Tablet (2016) won´t be manufactured by Huawei or Asus
HTC is supposedly developing both new nexus 5 and 6 for 2016. Codenames seem to indicate that the screen sizes will be 5.0 and 5.5 inches.

I agree 100%. Huawei did a damn good job.
I´m not very happy with the build quality of the Nexus 6P to be honest. It looks good on the outside but this device has some structural flaws. It warps or even bends at some point. It´s a nightmare to open and to repair too if you don´t want to wait for several months for a replacement device which could be even worse ( eg. include a faulty screen ).
In terms of build quality, reliability I rather trust LG more. These devices are very easy to open and not made in such a way that you need to baby them a lot. This is what I don´t like about Huawei. In the end I think that the Nexus 6P is just the Android version of a crApple device: looks good but has flaws which cannot justify the expensive price ( especially in Germany ).
To be honest, I have my doubts that I would want to get another Huawei device again.
Hmm the current 100$ price discount makes me more suspicious
Not until fall like they do every year
There were a lot of rumours recently about a new N7, which could get a summer release as did the others. There won't be a new phone until October.
I like the 6p, but not as much as I thought I would. It's just a little too big and a little too thin. A redesign of the dimensions would please me. The one plus two, for example, got it right between large screen size, bezels, depth and overall footprint.

Never had any bending or warping on mine. I will never understand why people care at all about the ability to open a phone yourself. All that says is if there is a problem the company probably won't open the phone and try to repair it and just send you a refurb. I much prefer that over having someone trying to open my phone and repair it. The quality will never be the same after opening it.

Don't underestimate Huawei after 6p
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
There's no reason to underestimate Huawei, I've liked the design of some previous handsets if not the final implementation. The 6P is a good piece of kit but could be improved in the ways that I described and the OP agrees.
The 1+2 is 151.8 x 74.9 x 9.85 mm with a 139.7mm screen (73.3 ratio),
the 6p is 159.3 x 77.8 x 7.3 mm with a 144.8mm screen (71.4 ratio)--for info, I really wish I'd kept the photos of them side by side
It's pretty clear that the latter's design trades everything for depth, but in the process makes it more cumbersome to use. What I'd like to see, to slip back to the OP's topic, is the next iteration of Nexus phones take usability AND aesthetics as a combined first step. They'll be sure to have the internals, and the 1+2 and many other phones show that they can fit in a better footprint.
i recently changed to 6p got so sick of touchwix and i apparently love stock andriod from nexus so im hoping google will manufactor a better nexus N7
If google makes a tiny ass 5.5" phone and not 5.7" i wont be buying this year. I dont want a teeny ****ing phone, if they dont produce a suitable device i am Note 6 this year
Is a nexus 6p a good phone? I see some people having lagg issues...

They just wanted to match apples thickness 7.3 mm I would have prefered to have a 8 mm phone with slimmer bezels than a 7.3 mm with huge bezels, but oh well, they just wanted to give us reasons to upgrade to the nexus 7 2016 right?

With all those new phone's came out lately.
I'm confused, S7 looks like a beast, and he is far more beautiful than the 6P.
Although he is also much more expensive and not to mention the crappy touchwiz.
Same thing with Note 5.
The one that caught me is the HTC 10.
But also much more expensive.
Anoter area that I'm curious about is the brightness level, how's the 6P handle?
Thanks!

Really bad battery life? My G4 SOT is around 2-2.5h depends on usage (gaming or not)
But this isn't bothering me because i have another battery with me.
But this isn't the case with the 6P that's why it's important for me.
Ya i thought the brightness isn't special from all what i heard, but i guess it is better that the G4, right?

I don't use the g4 but from what I hear about it the camera is the one thing good in it.

If you're not concerned of losing the stock android interface and monthly updates, go for either of them. Just be careful, apparently the maximum brightness on the HTC is low too.
Nexus 6P is a good device but brightness is quite subpar* ; same goes with battery life, considering the beefy battery it has got!
* all stock
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I'm not sure why anyone is complaining about battery life on this device, it performs really well for me. It mostly comes down to individual setup anyway, it's like installing a turbo on your car and then complaining that the car has terrible fuel efficiency.
As for whether it's still worth it, probably not. I certainly wouldn't be opting for Samsung though, and the HTC is nice but you'll be waiting several months for any updates. The next Nexus is only a few months away probably, I'd be waiting for that.
no, definitely go with the HTC 10. I got my 6p and damn the mic, speaks, and call quality is terrible !!!
stay away plus its way large

The only device i would give up pure android for is HTC. Sense is my second favorite if not par with stock android.
After been with HTC One M8 for a year and a half, than switching for LG G4.
I know how good HTC devices is, only problem is that here in ny country HTC ain't popular, most people's buy iPhone or Samsung and lately LG. Which cost me when i sold my M8, after bought it for 700$ and sold for only 250$ in new condition.
I guess the brightness on the Nexus 6P is higher than HTC 10 and my LG G4.

What i like about Samsung devices
(S7 edge and note 5)
Is the amazing display and brightness.
All other thing's including software is awful, at least for me.
S7 edge is a really beauty device, but way too expensive.
If I'll buy the HTC 10 i could live with the several month's update because it has sense which is the closets one to pure android. But also there, too expensive..
What do you mean by few month's away?
I guess also when it'll come out it'll be expensive, and till than my G4 will loss another 200$.
I'll wait for more answers, What bothering me mostly on the Nexus 6P is SD810, as G4 has SD808 which is not that different..

You won't be waiting "several months" for any updates. The software on the 10 is similar to the A9 and is actually closer to stock than the A9 which got updates roughly 15 days after Nexus devices. Definitely not several months.

I am coming from the M9. The 6P blows it away in every category you mentioned. I can't even get cell reception in my basement on the M9 and the 6P has 2-3 bars. Since nobody really has the 10 other than reviewers you can't really definitely make that statement.
I will say I already miss Sense somewhat. I like having screenshot in the drop down quick settings. Where is the battery percentage? I have the system tuner version but it is useless once you get into the 50-60's percentage. Why no option to restart instead of just turning off? Gmail is terrible for exchange. I tried it again in hopes that the update this week would address some problems but it sucks. The camera app on the 10 will be much better than the 6P. HTC Mail is way better and I can't get hacked versions of HTC apps to work that is on XDA. HTC does some really good things to compliment Android without being overbearing like Touchwiz which keeps it running smooth years later, unlike Samsung. They are subtle but when you don't have them you start to notice.
That said, I was not about to pay $300 more for the 10. If it was the same price. I would have bought it. No phone is worth $1,000.

Coming from the M9 it is way better. I guess it all depends on your frame of reference and if you had a S6 S7 Samsung screen before. I can also see what people talk about with this display vs a LCD one on HTC. The images just are more vivid and punchy. If you like the flat look you can change that on the 6P as well. I like the saturation though for a change. The 10's screen is better than the M8 and M9 but not as good as the 6P. At least not $300 better. That's for sure.

The display used in nexus 6p is made by Samsung... I don't think brightness should be an issue... Also you could use ultra brightness mode in elementalx kernel... Regarding camera it's good.... Haven't used g4 so can't exactly compare them... Pm me your email. I will send you photos captured by 6p..
Note: sd810 doesn't support 10bit hevc hardware decoding whereas s7 exynos supports it... So sd820 may support it too... Shouldn't bother you if you don't watch 10bit videos on phone.
Samsung = Knox.
If you want to tether on an UDP (Verizon) you must have root for WiFi tether.
So if I were to buy a phone today, unless I could unlock the bootloader, the device is not on my shopping list.
So for me on Verizon, Nexus or HTC. With HTC you can at least usually pay someone for S-Off.
I have an M9 from day one last year. Really liked it but got the 6P last November because of the improved camera. Also because the monthly updates it receives.

Really on the fence atm as well.. The 32gb is about $650 CAD and the 64gb is about $700 CAD on Newegg.. Ive been running through reviews and comparison videos all week and I am so close to purchasing it, but the price still kind of hurts. It has everything I need, but battery life seems to vary among everyone. The camera also seems to have some issues and lag time between users. The most recent update was suppose to fix it, but some users are still experiencing slow-downs. The phone is almost 7 months old, but since its by Google, updates will always be rolling out.
Love stock android as I had the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 5, but moved away to the Asus Zenfone 2, which is already experiencing slow downs and my camera is all wonky. I would never purchase a phone over $600, but the Nexus 6P is looking amazing. Right now, I am just looking for a way to justify buying it
Honestly i had the 6p but returned it within the 14 days due to ppl reporting that their phones were warping/bending/twisting so i just ordered a one plus, who else is making the jump? others might do it because of the SD810 heating issues..
I do miss the speakers and the fact that now the 6p got Paranoid android, i lovee thier roms, but i heard they are supporting the one plus series as well...
Please id like to know whos jumping ship
Thanks in advance!!![emoji4] [emoji110]

Probably not. I've heard mixed reviews on OP over the years, plus I love my 6P. I've never had any issues with it
Just you so far, better wear your life jacket!
The op3 has PA.
I'm gonna stick with the 6p, I thought about switching but the 6p has a better camera, speakers and software support. 3gb ram is interesting but imo unnecessary.
I'm convinced the bending is a non-issue. But the build of the op3 does look very nice
Staying with 6p based on mixed reviews of one 3. Overall better phone and it's a Nexus so always up to date. Bend gate on 6p is over blown.

I really think people should just be honest and say the largest number makes them feel like it's better.

Just what in the world are you doing with your phone that you're exhausting all 3GB? I agree with others, you would have been more believable had you just said "Bigger is Better".

Honestly i had the 6p but returned it within the 14 days due to ppl reporting that their phones were warping/bending/twisting so i just ordered a one plus, who else is making the jump? others might do it because of the SD810 heating issues..
I do miss the speakers and the fact that now the 6p got Paranoid android, i lovee thier roms, but i heard they are supporting the one plus series as well...
Please id like to know whos jumping ship

I'm waiting for someone to try to bend it to see what's up. I wish I had seen the Jerry rig video before I ordered my 6p, I didn't until it was on its way and of course my phone warped. I still have a opo I use pretty regularly and one plus has done nothing but impress me(I didn't get the screen issue). I just need to find someone willing to buy a warped 6p for the amount of money I have left on payments for it.

There is no such thing as too much ram.

You might want to check out some reviews on the RAM management of the op3. Who cares about 6gb of RAM if the software isn't tuned for it and as a result not keeping the apps open in the background. Kind of pointless to have that much RAM. Maybe they will fix it with an update.

I just received my OP 3 today and it's unbelievable so far. If this thread is still around, I will update with more usage.
The OP3 finally seems a great phone for the price, I'm not replacing my N6P mainly because I've got no complaints with it, and because I like the Nexus software support (but also because I'm not changing phone every 6 months lol).
However, it will be interesting to hear about real life usability of the OP from an ex Nexus user!
Skickat från min Nexus 6P via Tapatalk
As much as i love oneplus as a company, nexus 6p is the best android phone i have ever used, sticking until the next nexus arrives.
I won't ever get a oneplus phone again! So I'm sticking with my 6p, I actually came from the oneplus x to the Nexus 6p and the op x was a nice feeling phone with a great display but the lack of LTE bands for the usa was a killer and it always was over heating and don't get me started on their software support! Piss poor software support, riddled with bugs and no hopes of bug fixes or even an update to Android 6.0 and it's sad that they can't get lollipop stable yet cm13 for the opx is more stable then the stock rom! So screw that I went to the Nexus 6p and loving it! Lte everywhere now, great battery! No heating issues, software is obviously up to date and working flawlessly!!
So if u want to switch just take into consideration that ur phone will be riddled with bugs with little to no hope for faster updates or bug fixes. (I think Samsung is faster to update then oneplus and that's saying something!) And they may not support all the LTE band's depending on ur region. At least this is the experience I've had with oneplus. Also there customer service is horrible and them as a company from what I've noticed doesn't focus on what they need to like having a stable solid rom before releasing another phone they can't keep updated with their near stock Android rom. If they could fix the software side they would be a great company and I would probably reconsider there phones but until them I'm happy with my Nexus 6p!

CONS OF OP3:
1. OP3 has Poor Battery life 4 hrs SOT compared to Nexus 6p 6-7 hrs SOT
2. Camera quality of OP3 not good compared to 6P.
3. Poor speaker sound quality And Mic Quality isn't that good
4. Latest Android version like MM just received for OP2 last month.. where 6P is ready for next official Android N. where some 6p users are running the N preview also
5. No Monthly Software Security Updates ..
6. Oneplus Service Centre takes almost month to repair their handsets. And even I don't have Oneplus Service Centre in my local. Better find One before buying products from OP
7. 6GB RAM used in OP3 doesn't perform well compared to 4GB RAM of Galaxy S7.. 6P comes with SAMSUNG RAM.
8. Stock OXYGEN OS is Buggy based on online reviews I've read. But my friend owns OP3 and he doesn't have any problems with oxygen os until now.
9. The display quality in terms of resolution does not provides a good user experience for VR which is a cons.
10. Its 2K16 and they still provide device with 1080P resolution.

A few articles have been written about the rumored new Nexus phone. If this is how it looks, it looks horrible. The front facing speakers appears to be gone and it looks very iPhone-esq.......similar to HTC's A10.
If it is accurate, it looks pretty bad compared to Motorola's 6.

It's all still leaks and rumors at this point but if things play out the way the leaks are leaning, I'll still be hanging on to my Nexus 6. With the larger screen and running Android Nougat at a more than acceptable performance level I just can't find anything that compels me to upgrade.
Even though that's just a rumour and not confirmed, I gotta say HTC really hasn't changed much in a decade. My HTC Sensation looks pretty similar to that, and it's ancient. No, I don't use it anymore, it's a backup phone in case my other device breaks. lol. In other words; not liking it and won't be getting one.
My contract ends around the same time as the new line of Nexus' come around. If HTC fails to wow me, it seems as though I might be going for the galaxy note 7 or s7 edge. Not a big fan of restricted Samsung, otherwise I'd use the OnePlus 3, but alas it doesn't support CDMA
The bigger Nexus 6 variant will probably look slightly different from the smaller though.
I kinda like the new look, but don't like that they're ditching the stereo speakers. I think I'll hold on to the N6 until it dies on me.
Those are just renders. Hopefully they won't ditch the stereo speakers. Either way I'll be sticking to the nexus 6 for a while and wait for reviews instead of purchasing it right away. Judging from the renders, I don't like the look but it might grow on me eventually, kinda like the camera bump on the nexus 6p. I'm actually more excited about custom Roms on Nougat that the new devices. My phone contract finished March next year and even then if the new devices does not seem to fit me I probably would have to wait. The nexus 6 is a fully capable phone for this day and age and will continue to be for a long time thanks to the xda community. The whale will definitely be a legendary phone in my book.

That's wise. I would prefer a phone with a new display like
http://www.slashgear.com/jdi-full-active-lcd-panel-has-nearly-no-bezels-10451334/
I've been watching the leaks and rumors and yeah I'm not too excited. I'll probably be sticking with the 6. For me 6" is the perfect size and I love the stereo speakers and wireless charging. And it's plenty fast enough so I don't see any compelling reason to "upgrade" at this point.
I'd be more compelled to pick up a 6P which will have a reduced price when the Nexus 2016 comes out.
Well I suppose once it comes out the 6p will be cheaper so if the HTC isn't great there will be a cheaper option. I'm guessing they will price it around $500 which has been pretty typical for the Nexus pricing.
HTC has been struggling since they had their last real hit the M8
The rumor design though with no front facing speakers looks awful but would be consistent with HTC lol
Will there ever be a 6" Nexus in the future?
i love the nexus 6 except for the weight of it. the shape was great but right now id prefer something flat.
the only reason why im interested in the new nexus is because of daydream. other than that the nexus' killer features are the screen - 6" qhd amoled - pretty much unique, stereo speakers and qi charging.
will the new nexus have any 2 out of the 3 of these? i sure hope so!
This may be something to wait for....
http://www.slashgear.com/jdi-full-active-lcd-panel-has-nearly-no-bezels-10451334/
what is daydream? doesn't the nexus 6 already have that? I've never seen it do anything
Not certain those HTC really appeal to me. Depends on what phones Verizon has in September, or is announced for it.

Daydream has two meanings
1 screensaver while charging
2 compatibility with new vr standards
Since our nexus 6 already has #1, I'm guessing he means #2
I don't like these renders either. But I remember the dislike for the 6P when renders and test units started showing up. Most hated the design because of the "LaForge" visor. But once we got the real deal it looked much better than anticipated.
Hopefully that's gonna be the case here.

So to those of you who are still using this phone, what's your next jump? S8 S8+... Pixel 2, other?
I've really enjoyed this phone, but it's time to start thinking about the next upgrade. Oddly, I didn't actually unlock & root this phone. I think this is the first time I haven't done that with a phone. So that's not huge to me.
I personally think the Pixel 2 may be the next jump as I do enjoy the non bloatedness of these phones. I hope though that Google (as much as they charge) competes really well. With the S8 & iPhone 8 coming they have to.
Have any of you thought about your next phone from this one? Are you sticking with this one as long as you can & feel you'll be able to get a replacement that compares? I know for me, the whole buying this from Google & the price was a big factor. Unfortunately the price thin isn't going to happen again. The $475 I paid for this I fear is long gone unless I venture outside of the norm. OnePlus, LeeEco, Huawei, etc. Having Verizon though pretty much limits any of those options however.
it's too early to talking about next phone but between phone in store right now I interested to "moto z force", sadly just exclusive to the US market via Verizon and I'm not living in US! ?
Still very happy with the 6P. I'll probably keep using it as my main phone at least until the end of the year. Will mostly consider OnePlus and Pixel 2 when I'm ready to replace the 6P.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I think more and more the top of the line phones are just not necessary anymore. Once my 6p dies (which may be a while as I got a brand new replacement from them for the bootloop issue) I'll consider the Pixel 2 (or 3), but most likely I'll lean towards oneplus, or ZTE, or Honor, all of which have had great phones this year, for much less than the pixel.
Any phone that gives me a SD and fast updates.
It's time for Google to stop the no SD card crap.
I don't know if that's going to happen with the no SD thing. This is where I could see getting the S8 vs the Pixel 2 just to lower the price. 32GB phone then buy the card. Hell with all of the goodies Best Buy throws in I'd almost bet on some sort of freebie or two. Whether a wireless charger, SD card or VR headset. I can see something.
I bet the oneplus 4 or 5 or whatever they call it will be pretty good. I just wish more phones could be taken to Verizon. Leaves me with only a few options.

I'm holding out for the Pixel 2 myself, I have Project Fi so its practically the only choice I have for upgrading. I just hope it has some premium features like legit water resistance and a better looking design. I also hope they have enough in stock that I can order one because doubt my Nexus 6P will last that long around then.
Nothing thus far. The 6P already does everything I need to in addition to the large 3450 mAh battery, great screen, and awesome speakers.
Don't think shelling out a few hundred dollars is worth it for under the hood specs that I would barely notice like opening an app milliseconds faster. It's not like my 6P is unable to do what the newer gen phones can do.

That "large" battery is one of the worst in recent smartphone history.
I'll be jumping ship to the s8+ and maybe come back to Google when they don't try and sell a budget phone for a stupid price like with the Pixel.
The only thing I'll miss from the 6p is the speakers.

The 6P battery has been excellent to me, I can't speak for anyone else. It compares to my Droid Turbo that had a 3900 mAh battery. It could be "worse in history" to you, but it has been nothing short of stellar to me. It has absolutely exceeded my expectations given that I've read mixed reviews regarding the SD810.

I have an iPhone 7 plus as well as my nexus 6p, and it is actually ridiculous how much longer the 7 plus lasts. I feel like I can drain my 6p just by looking at it. The real problem with android is idle drain, it is freaking ridiculous.

That's a shame. Products aren't always perfect for everyone. There's always those with bad experiences such as with cars, electronics, etc. I'm talking based on MY experience, not from what I've read, heard, seen, etc. I KNOW based on my experience that I can rely on my phone being at 50% by bed-time, so there's no reason for me to complain about that.
Maybe your next phone will fare better for you.

Next on my buy list to replace the Nexus 6P will be the Xiaomi Mi MIX 2, which should come out in the late fall of this year.

That's funny you say budget phone. Google stated in their mention of the next Pixel that everything is premium & there will be no budget one. I guess to them the current phone is premium.

Ever since I took the nougat update my battery life has sucked. I love the phone, but had to go back to the 7 edge. I'd love to give the Apple 7+ a try. Haven't been on an Apple device in years. The Samsung 8 plus it's very tempting.

Sounds like you're platform agnostic like me Best way to be. Too much good tech out there to get caught in fanboyism
We've thought about waiting for the iPhone 8. The wife & I have yet to own an iPhone. Her only thought was she already has so many Android apps. I'm kind of the same where I don't want to dump a bunch of $ on a new platform. Get the S8 or Pixel 2 & I've already got the apps I use & have paid for.

Ya, I try to keep an open mind. I wish my pocket book could handle it though lol. Honestly I loved my LG g4, just hated the battery life. I'm kind of finding the 5.5" screen size around my liking. The only thing I hate about the s7 edge is how curved the sides are. It sounds like the s8's will have less of a curved screen. The pixel XL always send to be out of stock in the 128gb version.
