What do you have to gain from buying a flagship phone on launch-day instead of waiting for price drop or buying last year's flagship?

If you wait more than a month after launch-day, it's all but guaranteed that the phone's price will drop. **The more you wait, the bigger the discount** will become. After one year, it will cost 50% of the original price (hundreds of $ less).

**Alternatively**, you can **buy last year's flagship at half the price** of the new flagship.

​

New flagship vs last year's flagship:

\- The **camera** on the new flagship is **only marginally better** than last year's flagship. You probably **c...

Beware of colorful phone cases

I bought a case for my Pixel 2 XL from Amazon less than a month ago. Just something slim and shiny, not a lot of protection, but enough to keep the phone in decent condition -- or so I thought.

Last night when I went to change the SIM card, I removed the case only to find that it's color had transferred to the phone!

Not sure if this is due to heat, humidity, etc... but it doesn't seem to rub off. The cover of the SIM sl...

The spec sheet is not the only thing in a phone

Seeing the recent launch of the Moto G7 series and people complaining that they have too weak SoC's for the price or whatever, the only OEM that I can see this being the case is Samsung with their budget devices. And they did a good job on fixing it on their new M lineup.

There are lots of things you can measure in a phone. Design, build quality, software (stability / bug-free / updates / UI smoothness), usability, camera, features, microphone quality, signal strength, battery life, etc.

Favorite cross-platform messaging app?

My brothers and I have been using Allo to communicate for the last few months, and with the news of Google cancelling yet another messaging service, I think I'm just ready to start using something more permanent and reliable.

What is everyone's favorite messaging application? I really wish Google had a reliable answer to iMessage, but with them merging and stopping development on every app they've started, I don't see that happening anytime soon. ...
