Agreed

Another good review which mirrors mostly the good and the few not so good aspects I see in the phone.

You may say Nokia was first but HTC hit Taiwan just before.

Seriously saying the Nokia 8's display is awesome is an understatment. Great display

Nice to see the 8 in there swinging and putting up a good fight

Not such a good fight in this department, but we knew that.

Yup looks like Nokia screwed up the camera department. Ironically the old Nokia was strong there

Don't Feed the Troll

I'm sure most of us have seen the kid posting on here looking for attention.
Myself and others fed him until he was fat and full of posts.
We need to boycott any threads that seem suspicious.
Just don't reply and let the thread be pushed to the back by all the others.
Thank you, this is probably my last android related post :/ I'm moving on to an HD2.
Thanks to the real devs out there for all your hard work.
(I know this is unrelated to Development, but it needs to be known.
The more you post, the more the troll posts. Thanks guys)
btw, you're doing a good job guys. his thread seems to be dying.

You're right, they are way better and we should both sell our Android phones and get one. Then we can have a nice spot in Steve Jobs' pants. We'll finally be worthy.

That's what I thought. Strange they're already pushing commercials.

I would love to see that happen! Not all of the killing and chaos, of course. But to have super sophisticated robots that are as strong and deadly as the terminators would be excellent. Just send one terminator...or a platoon of them, maybe...to deal with the Falling Skies aliens...

Do I deserve loyalties?

Back when the Galaxy S Captivate came out, I released one of the most epic mods in Android history (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873276), and I now notice that Samsung has taken my idea and ran with it. I feel like I should be paid monies. This could also however be the reason for the phone lagging. The sheer awesome of the silver speaker mod cannot be contained by the device.
Apologies in advance for the pointless thread, but there's so much negativity on this board I thought I'd brighten it up with some retardedness. I'm going to contact muh lawyer.

How to know before buying new out-the-box S6 if it has Sony or Samsung camera sensor?

Hi,
I'm saying good bye to my trusty old S4 today & buying a brand new S6 (920F) out the box. Did some research on S6 last night & discovered that some models ship with a Sony camera sensor (superior) and some with Samsung camera sensor (inferior).
I read that those manufactured in Korea are more likely to have the Sony sensor as opposed to those made in Vietnam which are more likely to have the Samsung sensor. It should state on the box in which country it was made, right?
Can anyone confirm this or advise otherwise?
Impossible. Case closed.
And you're better off with the new HTC 10 or you could always wait for Nexus 2016.

I'm picking the S6 up for cheap on a contract. Nexus has very little features compared to <insert manufacturer> in general & doesn't get sold in my country. HTC has no support in my country and is terribly over priced too!
I'm happy with an "old" Samsung Galaxy S6 and (for all its shortcomings) I will mod it till it's perfect.
So you say it's impossible to determine beforehand which camera sensor I'll be getting just by looking at the box and seeing where it was manufactured? Life certainly is a box of chocolates! :laugh:
But on the contrary, I always believe "impossible is none" - just ask Nike!

My S6 has the ISOCELL sensor. I do not experience any problems with it. You need not worry about it.

In case you have eye defects or missed it; there's a 'Thank You' button beneath most comments/posts in a thread on XDA for a reason.
Contact a moderator for clarification on its use/purpose.

Yes but he's not obliged to do it , it's optional. The guy was kind enough and thanked you no need to tell him to press the thanks button , just let it go.
And i know xda very well i don't need your clarifications , let's stop this Off-Topic now.

He *did* tap/click the button, so I did 'let it go'.
But you and the other genius had to go off topic.

General Hopefully plenty of people get behind this device

Seems like a solid all round device, I'd say this should end up getting some development love
I agree, but I also see some flaws which might be unattractive to some developers. Specially the old chipset. But we will see how well it will turn out. To me, the hardware is pretty great, but the software is horrible.

To be fair alot of other high end phones are coming out with mediatek chips which severely limits development. Imo this chip is a good balance, a flagship speced processor would have bumped up the price alot considering the other specs are so good
It has NFC

Since we have two devices xiaomi/Poco I'd say we will have some support for sure. I'm surprised that xda made threads for these within the same week they were released so clearly they think there will be interest too
I think the problem is all the variants. I got mine from Aliexpress and it's a redmi note 11 pro but pissarro? I don't even see it on these forums.

Yeah Xiaomi/Poco have lots of slight differences and models haha. Similar phone but looks like yours has a mediatek chip which will mean next to zero development...
I'm also looking at buying a Redmi Note 11 Pro, specifically the non+ Snapdragon 695 in the hopes we will get development. I wanted the + with the MediaTek but I also realize that won't have any development so..
Dont expect too much support for this Phone. Because of its High Price for the low specs it flopped hard on the Market.

To be fair, I think the price more than justifies what you get. The only thing I hear people criticizing is that the processor is slower than the previous model - can't say I've experienced any stutters or lag etc. Each to their own but I'm more than happy

Absolutely, but i think you can get much more for the same price or even cheaper and most people thinking the same. For example: Why would i choose the X4 if i can get a F3 much cheaper.

I guess some people may prefer a phone that has a micro SD slot, alot faster charging, bigger battery and better battery life because a processor like that is overkill imo. Either way, both phones have their usages - like every phone, it has pros and cons. Out of curiousity, how come your here in this thread about it?
