Oh, is it? I always thought they looked pretty swish.
Dunno why I'm asking though, I really have no need for a tablet.
I know two people with them and they don't seem to be put together that well, certainly not like a regular HTC. Software-wise they're spot on
The only one I'd swap my Tab S for is the Pixel C, but I'm not really sure I need a tablet either because Remix OS covers what I need. I just want one, and N looks like it'll be as handy as Remix.
First impressions are great, it's a serious piece of kit but I just wish they had included a micro SD slot.
What you guys talking about?
Ah, got it.
I know I've bit the bullet now anyway. I like having a Google device around me for updates etc, since I switched away from Nexus phones.
The Surface Pro is an absolute beast. I only really need windows for work though and I've just talked them into upgrading me to SSD for my laptop so should be grand there. It's just clunky for manuals on the job so the little 7“ is handy.
A USB-C memory stick should sort the expandable storage thing too.
There's some really (physically) small ones out now.
I was to buy this one this morning when I was buying a screen protector but I'd say the 64GB internal will do fine for me. My Tab S is 16GB with a 16GB card and I've never needed to up the card.

It's on the way
I bought a Samsung S7 Edge the other week. Loving it so far. The screen is awesome and perfect in size. Feels much more responsive than my HTC One M8 ever was, too.
I had toyed with both but really glad I went for the Edge too. Wouldn't really want anything smaller, though the phone itself doesn't seem too big. Screen is amazing.
How are you finding the camera (or do you use it much)? I'm not really one for photos apart from a couple for work, but in the few goes I've had I don't think it's quite up to the V10 or G4 for that matter.
I've only really used it for a couple of test photos so far, and it's alright. A million miles better than what I had. The examples I saw online before I bought it seemed top notch, though.
I actually wanted to buy the Folio keyboard with the tablet but I accidentally ordered the normal one and I'm glad that I did.
Magnets
It's such an awesome piece of kit.
Need to order myself the keyboard too. Didn't know which to go for so I'll grad that one based on your experience.
The magnet looks good, what's it like as a keyboard? Buttons, etc.
Just upgraded the wife's contract from 250m, 5000txt, 500mb to 500m, 5000txt, 1.5gb. £7.50 to £10.
I despise mouse pads anyway and it takes a Bluetooth one so I won't mind that.
@SvN Did you try the Good Lock interface on the S7 at all? Once you change the colours (why pink?) it's actually pretty dece(nt).
I've seen some complaints online (dropping connection is the biggest) but I've had none thus far. I think it's a really solid keyboard for a tablet and I'm glad I bought it.
Anyone in here got the LG G5?
Need a new phone. Also, even the biggest touch screen keypads are no match for my fat as fuck thumbs. Any half-decent smart phones with a physical qwerty pad like the blackberries? Are BLACKBERRIES themselves any good? I seem to remember they were a bit shit.
I don't think anyone makes phones with physical keyboards any more.
You could get this?

Pretty nifty idea.

I find it hard to believe that you have bigger thumbs than me, stop being such a flange.
The LG camera always seems to be the best, in my opinion. I'm not all too fussed on it being modular though I imagine it's a nice gimmick to show off. If they stop the battery coming off with the chin and so you can hot swap without having to switch your phone off/on every time, it might come across better.
It's coming to the point of me being able to use O2s refresh and get myself a new handset. Torn between the S7/edge and the G5. The latter is just as good in most areas but comes without the big price tag. But if the build quality is a little iffy that would sway it.
The one I used had a bigger gap at one side than the other where the chin met the body. I didn't see the antenna lumps near the camera but they've supposedly been rife too.
I'd put the camera over the S7 (personally I still think the G4 camera is better than the S7 too) and I prefer the idea of fingerprint scanner on the back even though it was a bit loose feeling, but the Samsung is better in every other way I'd say. I thought the screen was great (it is) until I looked at the S7 Edge again.
I just played with the S7 edge in a store and the screen looked all kinds of better than my 6+.
Much improved since the last Samsung I had(S4).
The S6 was the first one I'd touch and the S7 has basically just improved on it in nearly every way. Maybe not the camera, though the latter one is regarded as better overall. Personally I'm not a fan of this less/larger pixel thing a lot are doing now as I don't take many low light photos.

New phone shopping is a go. I've currently got the iPhone 6+ with O2, I pay £45 a month after my O2 open discount is applied and get Unlimited calls/texts and 5GB of data.
According to the O2 app I use on average about 840mb per month so anything 2GB and above is enough. One of the in-laws brought over a new Galaxy S7(not the edge) today and it felt weird. Even though it's a reasonable size it felt almost like a toy after having the 6+.
I think I'd have to go for the edge. So that leaves me realistically with the S7 edge or the LG G5.
On O2 Unlimited mins and texts with 3GB data is £41.50 a month, no upfront cost(£99 upfront if you drop it down to £36.50 p/m) on the G5. Same plan with the S7 edge is £51.50 with £10 upfront(£60 upfront for £46.50 available).
It does look like I wont be able to get the open discount again. They've started cracking down on it due to the amount of people like me who just knew someone who could get a code. I wouldn't really want to pay more than what I do now, so I may have to look at leaving O2.
I think I'm going to keep my G3 until I die. It's still amazing.
Best phone I've ever had.
Why are you trying to upgrade from a phone that's still within its one year 'new' cycle? If anything I'd wait for the iPhone 7 (+), which should be here in September.
If anyone is after a budget phone I'd look no further than the J7. The J5 I have is incredible for the price.
