if TMo had the current Nexus, I would have got it instead of the V10 but I honestly don't want any of the current phones more than my V10 (other than the Nexus or maybe the OnePlus 3, neither are offered by TMo).

I have JUMP, might as well use it whenever a phone comes out that I want. Wifey's Note5 is going strong but she's going to jump to the Note7 when it drops.

**stonehenge** · 07-24-2016, 06:22 PM

Thinking about jumping to the Note7 when it comes out. My V10 is still going strong but the reviews for the S7 Edge are bamf and the Note7 is the same with a slightly newer processor, a stylus, and iris detection (dat gimmick?). Plus, my wife's Note5 feels so solid and well built.

I'll miss the IR blaster and rear buttons, but at least they have an SD slot now. Will miss the removable battery a little but I was fine with that on my G2.

We'll see. I may wait to see if TMo sells this years Nexus but I don't have much hope for that.

The IR blaster and removable battery is what I miss most from my S5. On my Note 2, I never really used the s-pen.

If the next nexus phone comes out with the SD820, 4GB ram, 64GB or SD card in a smaller size phone (e.g. 5x size), I may ditch this 6P.

Send 6P to me gratis IMO. Dfw.

I've swapped batteries at work a couple times but its not a deal breaker. I use the IR blaster often but I'll just get off my ass and get the remote lol

V10 has 64gb, IR blaster, removable battery, SD slot, 4gb ram, HiFi DAC, etc. Only downside is the SD808. I love the phone but compared to my wife's note 5, I can feel that it isn't as snappy sometimes.

There's also way more ROM options on Galaxy devices and I loves me some tinkering.

I need ideas for a new cao-style Android phone...something Sprint CDMA, inexpensive, rootable, with SD slot and removable battery. Either very cheap used, or not too bad new (can ask for birthday/xmas).

**stonehenge** · 07-25-2016, 12:48 AM

LG:
G3
G3S
G4
V10

Sammy:
S4
S5
Note3
Note4

All were solid flagships with removable batteries, SD slots, and in most cases an IR blaster. I'm guessing most of those can be found fairly cheap if you buy refurb or used.

Amazon has unlocked refurb G3 for $160 on Prime for example.

I only listed flagships from previous years. If you want to stick to the lower end, there are cheaper options, I just don't know what they are

Yeah, I hope TMo carriest the next Nexus (HTC). Gonna leave the V10 for that if they carry it. If not, I guess Note 7 but won't be able to root and flash stuff easily. Miss the easy flashing of Nexus phones.

Cez★ · 08-22-2016, 05:58 PM

am just wondering if new phones gonna look as good as v10

**stonehenge** · 08-22-2016, 05:59 PM

leaked info on the V20 looks meh. It still has the 2nd screen, high quality DAC, and dual selfie cams, but it doesn't look like it will have the same metal/rubber build. We'll see.

Cez★ · 08-22-2016, 06:01 PM

**stonehenge** · 08-22-2016, 07:06 PM

I find it interesting that the V20 is mentioned on that official Android 7.0 page even though it will have LGs crap on top of it. I still don't mind LGs skin but would love stock.

Cez★ · 08-22-2016, 07:09 PM

Wonder if lg had to pay to have dibs

**stonehenge** · 08-22-2016, 07:14 PM

Was wrong about dual selfie cams, has dual rear instead. Which is better. We'll see how it looks when LG officially reveals it but from the renders it looks like a big G5. The G5 looks

to me and I think the reviews on it have been so-so.

if the Nexus doesn't come to TMo, I'll probably either go with the Note7, S7 Edge, or the V20 if it ends up better than it seems so far.

Cez★ · 08-22-2016, 07:30 PM

Pinch3 wan. Cant wait to see phone tho. Needs to be 9/6 already

**stonehenge** · 08-24-2016, 12:39 AM

Kinda hard to see with the case (and ghey gold/white version), but:

http://phandroid.com/2016/08/23/rend...ly-convincing/

There are still some kind of metal rails but it looks like they don't wrap around to the back. Weird. It also has a little switch at the bottom so it probably has modules that plug into it like the G5. meh. We'll see, want to see black version w/o the case.

Cez★ · 08-24-2016, 12:54 AM

looks good imo. notice there seems to be less borders on the top and bottom

**stonehenge** · 08-24-2016, 04:09 PM

maybe. I think it just looks like less because it's half white, half black instead of all black. idk.

**stonehenge** · 08-24-2016, 11:55 PM

top/bottom look about as thick as the V10 imo:

http://phandroid.com/2016/08/24/lg-v20-leak-evleaks/

top reminds me of the Droid X for some reason

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

posted that, then scrolled down some more and saw that you already RT that pic and that droid-life mentioned it looked like a DX.

Cez★ · 08-25-2016, 12:08 AM

the corners look rounder than the v10. still kinda like. will wait for final judgement
