Wondering if Pixel would be landing in MY

Doubt it, if it will, then it will take years...

Who knows, maybe Google is focusing more on sales now since it's an entirely NEW device line-up (by ditching the Nexus name)

The grace ux on the note7 will soon come to s7 as well. Just need to wait. Maybe come together with nougat also.

Lets just hope we all get TouchWiz with Nougat before 2017, which is what Samsung promised us.

I think the problem here is manufacturers really need to find safer, more energy dense batteries - I have a feeling that we have reached the limits of lithium ion batteries.  It's even scarier that my laptop battery has a battery capacity that is even smaller than the Note5.  icon_idea.gif

Essentially the problem is Samsung attempts to go for a non-compromise design (adds water/dustproofing, SD expansion, curved screen... and making the device even narrower sweat.gif ) and little they didn't realize they are messing with physics.  Eventually physics began to rear its ugly head and the battery literally combusts into flames.  sweat.gif

An analogy would be trying to put 10 people in a Kancil sweat.gif

There are already a lot of new battery technology few years ago that can replace Lithium Ion, some even can charge in few seconds to have hours of battery life, and some don't even wear out, nor explodes.


One of the example...

It still takes time for them to be "mainstream", we will have to wait.

...and it needs to be cost-effective and widely adopted as well.  icon_idea.gif

I would expect Samsung will be the first one using those, since they like to come out with new stuff, but I don't know how long it will take...

The benchmarks have been leaked - so that means it should be coming real soon.  brows.gif

Also I hope that someone leaks the test firmware for Nougat brows.gif
*
Is that so?? Well then just hope we get Nougat 7.1 after that in a short while, since the latest version (which is 7.1) features performance boosts that makes Android as smooth as iOS.

No answer but so far so goor.

I really suspect is Snapdragon 820 problem, else why mostly are US, China and Korea?
*
That might be the case since Snapdragon tends to heat up a lot... remember Snapdragon 810? *cough*

But I don't think it's completely the chipset fault, why aren't other flagships, OnePlus 3 or Axon 7 that uses the same chipset explodes?

hahaha....  fruit stuffs are all overpriced with questionable specifications, 2 pros that I can think of is only the smoothness of OS and the processor power with its efficiency... others... erm... questionable.
*
S7 have superior camera, display, fingerprint scanning speed, screen responsiveness and more.

Only good thing about iPhone is the performance and optimization of OS (I doubt processor plays a bit part here, don't think A10 Fusion is any faster if it is running Android), also the 3d touch which never once I've seen anyone using it.

Despite all of that, I'm still getting an iPhone 7 just because of the speed since I mostly play games on it, and the NVMe storage just makes everything load ridiculously fast...

Until Android finally changed to the rumored Andromeda OS, future Snapdragon or Exynos chipset finally focuses more on Single-Core performance, Samsung using their SSD technology on smaller NVMe for smartphones... I will change to Android by then.

i always think java is the one to blame for android, not those android phone maker biggrin.gif hardware is on par with iPhone, just that java in android is expensive in terms of memory, in real world i believe java developer will argue on this biggrin.gif
*
That is why I talked about switching to the rumored Andromeda OS, which is a merge of Android and Chrome OS, and Chrome OS is based on C as well.

Many have reported that Google will be ditching Java entirely for Andromeda OS, sadly they didn't say a single thing about it in the Google Pixel event...

but i dont like iphone.. its too pricy and the spec doesnt equivalent to the spec.

if the spec is equivalent to the price, then its okay, it work with opposite way..

shocking.gif  shocking.gif

Don't let the spec blinded you, you will need to know the huge difference between iOS and Android first of all...
Yes S7 have bigger RAM and better chipset than iPhone 7 but the only bad thing about the S7 is it is using Android, which consumes more RAM and more resources of the processor...

Let me make this simple, Android will need TWO TIMES the spec in order be to same speed of iOS devices. It's not that iOS is very optimized, it's just Android is very NOT optimized.

In the future Google will no doubt remake or entirely change a new OS, it will still take a long time for it to happen...

It's already happening with Pixel phone they have control over hardware and software therefore optimization on Pixel is expected to be top notch since the both software and hardware are #madebygoogle
*
But no matter what, Android is still based on Java, it's the language that they used to make Android, Java is ridiculously slower than C... They even have to make Nougat 7.1 to have UI performance update to make it "virtually" same speed as iOS devices.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Android, but truth hurts.

There is that rumored Andromeda OS which is based on C, we will have to wait...

Edit : Also most of the apps are firstly made for iOS... so the apps are just *imported* to Android...

well said... some people always putting blame on phone maker, like android never need play any role on improving the overall OS performance biggrin.gif

Phone maker is still partly to be blamed though, you know, the huge skin-over Android - TouchWiz for example...

Yes I have to agree IOS have a very stable and optimized OS and apps. but the lack of customization is what throws me off. Hopefully in the future google is able to make well optimized OS.

It's easy to understand that why apps are made for iOS first since it's 1 system 1 hardware, when u make apps for android with 1 system with multiple hardware it becomes so much harder.
*
Apps are made for iOS first because there are reports of more iPhone user "purchase" apps than Android user (Since most of the Android user crack the APK anyway, I use most of them cracked lmao).

We will see if Andromeda OS will still be very optimized with different hardware and remain the customization. I will have no hesitation changing back to Android if it's all true.

Can Samsung "Smartphone Department" recover, there is no way Samsung will go down with only a tiny bit of it's department messing up, do not forget they even make TV, Refrigerator, big and small electronics and even own military. Do I need to mention the Petronas Towers were build by Samsung?

Also if I have to mention, Samsung make 10 times more money than Apple.

If you looking their 3Q financials and their cash reserves, no doubt they will survive. It's a mere hiccup for them and no doubt they will bounce back stronger.

But people tends to forget how huge Samsung is haha

Well, apparently now you can't bring it on the plane at all. Of course there will still be some heroes. I'd hate to be on the same flight as them.

If unfortunately that guy's Note 7 exploded before take off, imagine how is he going to pay or punished for delaying everyone's flight lmao

Previously can, but latest decision by USA flight is cannot, you not allowed to bring in the phone nor matter it is on or off.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/All-Samsung...flights_id86599

"U.S. authorities will ban all Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones, powered off or not, from airline flights."

I believe more airflight will follow and this is the right way. With more strong force just can force some owner that don't want to return, return at the end.

Samsung next step shall fully disable the phone functionality automatically after the recall refund dated expired. So those don't want to refund will have no choice but return for refund as well, unless they plan to keep a brick.

"For example make the phone total cannot turn on."

Sooner or later this will happen... (Photoshopped image)

Yesterday when I take MAS flight from KL to Senai, they do announcing turn off the Note7 before the flight start flying.

Took a flight from Sabah to KL few days ago, all my friends become Giraffe and look at me with those creepy smile when they announced to turn off Note 7 since we are all randomly seated... The jokes and meme will never end.
