Benchmarks and CPU performance are far more relevant on mid-range phones over flagships, in my opinion.

When you're on the market for a mid-range phone, you would want decent performance out of it for at least two, maybe three, four, five years. All flagships meet this criteria nicely, so in my opinion a much more interesting showdown is on the mid-range. I would care much more about a Snapdragon 675 vs a Helio P70, P90 or something over the 855+ vs Kirin 990. Personally I really like the Mate 30 Pro despite being overshadowed by the future 865. What do you guys think?...

Just ordered a replacement for my first smartphone. How often do you change phones?

Couple years ago I got a job where I needed a smartphone with gps and whatsapp. Against my will I then purchased my first smartphone.

At first it seemed like a gadget, but became part of my life. Bank transactions, instant communication with my work team, gps for driving around town (and remembering later where I was each day), redditing on my slack hours, spotify when I'm on the gym, chilling in bed (using bluetooth to my home sound system). How did I ever live without this?

I think I even g...

(Opinion) Android Customisation is what keeps me invested.

I've been on the Android platform since my HTC Desire many years back.

Although I've always been impressed by the sickness of Apple experience, the restrictions imposed by that particular walled garden has meant I've never been tempted.

For me, Android's strength has always been the continuing facility for near infinite tweaking, from the common elements like widgets and live wallpapers, to things like Substratum, Tasker, Xposed etc.

This freedom allows for those of us who can't resist a sett...

What phone feature was hyped up by this subreddit on announcement only to be seen now as a gimmick?

It's often hard to gauge how a new feature will actually be adopted in real-life applications.

Every phone maker has some new interesting feature that is used in marketing to differentiate themselves from the pack but the long term usefulness is often questionable. I think we'd like to imagine that we are more informed than the average consumer but I don't think this is necessarily true.

Is there any example of this that you have noticed??

Edit: features are not limited to hardware, if you...

'Wonder why it is possible for the new Huawei devices to install a "random" 3rd party app and gain Google Play Service with a single tap? I dug deeper and found something... let's say "interesting". Expect more details coming soon. Bottom line: DO NOT BUY AND USE HUAWEI DEVICES' -@topjohnwu
