    ThePandaX [GD] Wouldn't say it's a Android thing. I own the OnePlus 3T and it isn't locked (and doesn't lock) to any carrier. It has hotspot functionality and it always will. It's more about the brand or type of phone you're getting. P.S. if you feel like I'm bashing you or Apple, please let me know so that I may clarify. I'm just trynna inform here.

    @Aditya Bhattacharya true, yet they gave more reasoning. the iPhones had space to place a headphone jack (Strange Parts literally drilled a hole a put a jack in). Whilst also having to purchase things like dongles and headphones. When Samsung made the move, not only was wireless tech becoming more affordable and of higher quality, yet the inside of the phone is jam-packed because of the battery and components. Also a good dongle and high quality USB-C headphones were included. Currently Samsugn are wotking on graphene batter technology, which is like many tomes more efficient than batteries, there might be the move to having a large battery with much more capacity, or have a smaller battery with the same capacity, which can give us the chance of getting the headphone jack back.

    Svaitor You are right. It doesn't add up since nothing in the review showed the phone being used with a computer or anything remotly in a context with a computer. A lot of Linus' videos are flat out wrong and don't have anything to do with real life use. All of the products that he fearures and praises are complete garbage. The problem with all these youtubers is that even though they call themsrlves content creators they don't use any of these devices in their daily routines. All these reviews are poetically written for the sake of the video and nothing more. Of you want a real review you need to stay away trom Linus and find real people that don't make their living from creating staged videos.

    Its not an apple perspective. If anything Linus is a pc tech who prefers android but since android has so much bugs and problems he went to iphone. Im doing the same Im over the battery crap. wont spend a single second trying to optimize it ever again even if i do prefer customization and the way it functions its a load of shit. plagued with battery bugs that google never seem to fix along with other issues. And the issues i make clear are never fixed there has always been new bugs introduced which severely affect the performance, functionality and battery. An apple perspective would be someone who has only ever used apple and prefers it to something else because of more reasons then battery and becoming a heater. I hate apple but this stupid android bugs and my note 5 will be the last one for me.

    +Alan Barnes You are very upset with android I see. I own a note 5 and despite the minor bugs, once in a great while, it is an awesome phone. I constantly video record 4k videos with my phone and offload to my pc.I have quad hd display that is stunning.I also use my phone for work where I live stream leaks and all kinds of problems to management in an apartment complex. I also stream video games from my pc to my phone and I live stream gameplay from my phone. I love my Gear Vr and I am constantly on AltSpaceVr where you meet people from all over the world in virtual chat rooms and hang out and converse about anything. No phone is perfect as no human is perfect. Apple sucks paired with Pc that is by design just so you buy a Mac instead which concludes that the Iphone is not a versatile phone but very restrictive and overpriced for no reason since the specs of the iphone are hilarious. Linus' channel is not true to live but on the contrary it is a business channel made to capitalize on reviews of toy tech and the reviews are generated the spot in close environment for profit purposes. Every review is promotional and paid by the company regardless of being positive or negative. He is endorsed by all these tech companies and he gets all his tech free. Nothing wrong with that only that the reviews are for the most part nerdy bs that doesn't mean jack

    darkyen 00​ Yeah, that's the harsh reality about Android. It may be very versatile and capable of doing as you want it to, but if you don't take control of it, you're merely a product to google. That's part of why I never considered Android, especially stock Android, until Privacy Guard showed up with the OnePlus One in 2014. After that, I discovered XPrivacy that gave great control over Android, including internet access control. Best of all, it's available to any Android device via the Play Store.

    Depends where you live and what carrier has service in your area. In the US for example, it's usually cheaper to get a 2 year contract. Which isn't too bad if you 100% know you're going to be with that carrier for 2+ years. Then there are some carriers, like T-mobile, that allow you to unlock the phone once it's paid off.

    Volvonics a better way to put it is that Apple's A series of chips are scaled better for iOS. If you were to run Android on any of them it would overload the internals. The A10X is only so powerful because iOS is very light while Androids scale of operations are much broader and allow for more customization at the cost of it being more computationally intensive.

    Samsung was terrible in the past, but really caught up since the S6, and with the phone market completely saturated and the slowing innovation it's more about quality. There are some other brands that still make great phones (OnePlus and Xiaomi for example), but among the "big ones" Samsung is clearly in the lead. And Apple likes to act like a special snowflake, in complete isolation while they are doing the exact same thing as anyone else, and their marketing department is competent enough to keep up that impression. Mainly, that's why, they are comparing the best phone out there with the most popular one.

That and the REALLY dumb short segments with linus tech tips staffers holding the phone making stupid expressions that have no real relation to what is being said in the video. Just them fumbling around with the phone for four to six seconds and pulling a dumb expression. Not great content.

    BTW Iphone ripped off Nokia with 3g. IBM with touch screens. Motorola with portable phones. The 70s with pcs the 60s with computers 1600s with buttons. The 1600bc with plastics. The dawn of man with communication. If you seriously say Samsung ripped them off because they also had a home button you are so silly. Its such selection bias because you can focus on whatever you want. A sqare screen or icons in the lower part och volume buttons on the side. Also, the PDAs also had home buttons in the center so if anything its probably hp or summit.

    Yo momma has indeed mastered the skill of reading, but still appears to be lacking in the understanding department. If you look at his response this is obvious in how he doesn't understand the point of the message but indeed the individual words. The use of a strawman when putting words in other people's mouth is also troubling and shows serious lack of cognitive ability. He should indeed try and refrain from comments if he wishes not to make this obvious to other people. Kidding aside. And to make myself clear. My point was that you can cherry pick what to call ripping off. I used universal things because thats whay they and well you just used. I could just as well say Apple ripped off HTC pocket pc design because of the key design choices like the screen using most of the face of the device, leaving a bigger gap close to the user than ontop, having a button in the bottom center. Indeed most of the design is similar. Oblong with rounded edges. It's the natural way to make a touch device. Even the damn Simon looks quite similar all be it huge and not with a centered screen. You could go back change small things ad infinitum. See my point now? Thats it, sorry for making fun, but your attitude quite frankly deserves a little tongue and cheek.

    I dropped mine and the outer screen is ok but the internal display got a black blob on the edge with some lines going across the screen and when i turned the brightness up everything below the lines went yellowish white, next day a line appeared at the bottom of the screen and the part between the line and the other lines started to glitch out and move up and down making the bottom line grow thicker or thiner and a green line apeared alongside the edge, two days later and the area under the lines became permanently yellowish white and the rest of the screen is really glitchy sometimes it wont turn on sometimes most of the backlighting doesn't work sometimes the screen gets a very donald trump like yellow tint with flashing all over the screen and the degree of yellow depends on what you have on display and some other glitches do tend to happen, i also noticed the phone gets hot quite often and sometimes it gets really really slow and unresponsive, also got a couple random scratches on the back somehow even tho i rarely take it out the case i have on, also is i noticed a little noise of something loose when i shake the phone which is scaring me a little, my last note is that when i tap on the back of the phone the middle sounds more hollow than the rest of it i don't know why, the only plus in all of this is that i had to learn to type without seeing the keyboard since that area of the screen is white now until i can gather up enough to fix it which will take me around $250 for the screen alone and i don't know if i will have to fix the loose sound inside.

    Linus. The auto brightness of the S8 works differently to the iPhone. Threw me for a loop at first too. It studies your own manual adjustments under different lighting conditions and then automatically adjusts to them the next time it detects the same light change. It seemed sketchy to me at first as well but it seems to be working much better now, which I'm guessing is because it's learnt my preferences. I agreed with every other point you made. I'm sticking with the S8 now until the iPhone X comes out and the contract on my 6S Plus, which my other half is currently using, expires at which point I shall likely pass it on to her. The X is the closest I can get to a display like the S8's with dual stereo speakers. I'm also a fan of iOS although I will miss the S8's theming.

    Performance on mobile devices does not mean the same as what they mean on desktop. A mobile cpu/gpu can have a much higher clock rate but usually lacks common opcodes and pipelines that deliver much more versatile performance on desktops. The mobile cpu, gpu are mobile optimized for mobile workload (whatever they may think its is) and are not so good for many serious use-cases. But thats my side, for a common user a powerful cellphone is more power to you :D
