VV(^^)VV_____OFFICIAL ANDROID OS/DEVICE THREAD_____VV(^^)VV

[big j 33]

I originally went with Android because I felt anti-Apple.. I just didn't like their phones were worth all the hype.

I do love a lot of what makes Android unique, the options, customization, openness, etc., but there's a ton that Apple does well and they make great phones. At this point, though, I do feel like lobotomybeats said, I just know Android better. I'm sure it wouldn't take me long to get comfortable with Apple and the iPhone, but I like Android and I'm comfortable with it and  it has the features that I like. And it's not as if Android fans are perfect either.. the obsession over so many minor details and specifications on these products can be overwhelming sometimes.

I'm tempted to try out an iPhone because I've never used one and I'm curious, but I'm not in the market right now for a new phone.

Can anyone suggest an affordable android tablet to use at home. Torrent downloads and video streaming to a Fire TV mostly.

EDIT: I Just moved over from android, and this is a bit of a transition. I love how well made the 6S Plus is, but I really miss the openness and ability to do literally anything from my phone at the drop of a hat. Main reason I need an Android tablet for home entertainment. Got so used to downloading and streaming any movie to my TV in like 15 mins. Can't let that go.

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pros aren't that expensive nowadays, I'm sure you could find one online.

This is probably going to bring me back to Android.. the 6 Plus i have is amazing.. could be the perfect phone, if iOS didnt have so many compromises.  To get the same features ive always had on Android(native backgrounding, split screen apps, folder and gui customization) etc. You have to jailbreak your device, which has led to some annoying instability.. random freezes and restarts, slow to open applications etc.  Its unfortunate, and ruins an otherwise, stellar experience.

Nvidia Shield Tablet.  It's flames.  Love mine

 

[Benny Hinn]

N6P bout to take my money.

Looking forward to Tuesday

 

[st1llundftd]

Here are some slides for the Nexus 6P. Looks very promising

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Huawei just shut the game down. We might finally have a nexus phone with great battery life, screen, and camera.

 

[AZwildcats]

Huawei came through with the haymaker, that battery is looking serious

 

[chi based]

It was either the moto x or the N6P for me. That nexus looks flames. Hopefully the price is decent.

[dathbgboy]

Smh, and now i gotta reevaluate. That battery just threw a wrench in my decision

 

[antidope]

What would you guys think that phones going to be priced at?

 

[illmatic34]

I'm assuming it'll be priced similar to the Nexus 6 at launch. 650/700.

 

[airblaster503]

Ugh that back is still ugly though
But I am definitely considering it, will wait on pricing info but the specs are nice. Will be interesting to see how the camera ends up as well

Different strokes.  The renders put the aesthetics in iPhone category, back is unique and a fantastic addition imo.  Hope the actual phone closely resembles the leaks.

Agreed.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

The gold and black versions of the 6p is flames

 

[halcyon]

It'll all depend on the price and how it runs. The rumored specs are good, a lot of people love the style and design, so long as it isn't lagging/stuttering or have atrocious battery life.. I think it'll show Blackberry can have a place in the Android world. 

A lot of people still talk about wanting a physical keyboard, plus some would be interested in BB's security emphasis.

I was someone who resisted going to a non-physical keyboard for awhile, but now I'm comfortable and used to it.. but I'm still intrigued at the idea of an Android Blackberry. Great physical keyboard, modern Android, we'll see. I loved my Blackberry 9700 back in the day.

True. Hopefully the specs are good and how well the design feels. I'm all for physical keyboards. I loved my droid 2 and 4. Best phones every but crappy camera. The passport looks beautiful!
