I, too, need to be able to receive phone calls when photographing mermaids deep in the Pacific Ocean. :scootin:
I charge my BT headphones once or twice a week, they're very quick to connect and the sound level and quality seem more than fine to my ears. Wireless is just so much more convenient. If I'm listening to something while on the couch, I can just get up and move around the house as needed and never think about wires or having to bring the phone/tablet around with me.
Well the Pixel was never going to have an mSD slot, so I don't see how it's really even something to discuss when it comes to Google's phone line.
64GB is plenty for me, never mind 128GB internal storage being an option. I've experienced two separate mSD failures in my lifetime of using smartphones. That is two times too many, I no longer trust them to hold important data.
Looking at the specified differences from: http://www.dsmt.com/resources/ip-rating-chart/
IP67 (specifically the '7' part which refers to liquids): Protected from immersion between 15 centimeters and 1 meter in depth.
IP68 (specifically the '8' portion): Protected from long term immersion up to a specified pressure.
Interestingly enough, I think with the Galaxy phones - which are IP68 - it says good for up to 1 meter in water for 30 minutes. What exactly are you doing with your phone that makes the slight difference here meaningful?
Well I guess some people take their phone in the ocean or in the pool. I've even seen people on YouTube stick the phones in water and freeze them, then thaw them out to show that they are still working.I, too, need to be able to receive phone calls when photographing mermaids deep in the Pacific Ocean. :scootin:
i have an S7 as my work issued phone, anything released in the past year would be an upgrade for you from it
You can try and order both and see which one you want. They will let you return either one no questions asked. I did this with the 6p years ago. Couldn't decide between Storm trooper black and white or silver. I ordered both, opened both, played with each one and decided to send back the silver model.Hmm. I just saw the video on the new wireless headphones that uses Google Translate and I'm sold on it and the new Pixel 2. But I'm torn on which screen size to order. I like the 5" screen size but hate the large bezel. I like the look of the 6" XL but fear it might be too big and it's iPhone X type money. I'm still using iPhone 5s with dying battery so I need to upgrade this year.
It's an outright admission that they have shittier engineers when the S8+ is all of being equally thin, having smaller bezels and having equal battery capacity while retaining the audio jack and waterproofness.
I agree their engineering and design needs more work. Either they were lazy or in a time crunch like last year. Now that they bought rights to HTC factories maybe in the next few years we may see better designs. I found it funny that their explanation was to have it bezel free yet it still has bezels on the side. The top and bottom are ok I guess because you need room for front speakers.It's an outright admission that they have shittier engineers when the S8+ is all of being equally thin, having smaller bezels and having equal battery capacity while retaining the audio jack and waterproofness.
Well, neither does the S8+. After the Note 7 and exploding batteries I'd wager Samsung made absolutely sure the S8+ wouldn't have that problem.At least it doesn't explode.
That reasoning is silly, certainly with regard to the title, why Apple got rid of the jack...Wonder why they didn't explain why they took away the headphone jack. This here states this is where the future is headed.

Still that doesn't explain why they couldn't take away a little more of the bezels but I found it interesting.
I don't use cases, ever. Don't like them, and I like to appreciate good physical design. Also I think not having a case is what keeps me from breaking my phones. In my lifetime of owning smartphones, I've dropped and cracked a screen only once, and that was a long time ago. The people who drop their phones most often are the same ones who buy bulky cases, in my experience.I find it funny people complain about phone design. Like any of them actually keep phones naked. The moment they get that sexy slick S8+ they put a bulky case on it. Who cares, it is a slab with screening top. As long as it is not pink or oddly shaped, why cares? Oh wait never mind.....
Seriously I am typing this on a Pixel with the dreaded Uuuge bezel, but I like it because I can actually hold it securely without accidentally hitting back button . What bezel, the phone is silky smooth unlike all Galaxies I have had. In fact Everytime I see big chin and forehead I am reminded of how great software is on the Google Pixel.
