Re: [H] New Android Phone

[Brian Weeden]

Huawei is the company that built the phone for Google.

Just like HTC is the one who built the newer Pixel phone. Google still
doesn't have in-house hardware design and manufacturing facilities yet.

My second choice would be the OnePlus Three, as close to the stock Android
OS without owning a Google phone.

Re: [H] New Android Phone

[Joe User]

I too, was on the WP platform. Lumia 920 VZW. Loved it but just never 
had the apps I needed or wanted for other devices - Cameras, gadgets, 
etc. It's to bad because I really liked everything else.


So I went with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. this doesn't blow up or melt 
down. The Non-edge model is nice as well but the deal they offered me 
made sense to take the edge. I like it a lot. Nice to have app freedom. 
As for the edge, the main thing I like about it is the 'Apps Edge' it's 
a little tab that you can swing out & holds a bunch of different things 
from frequently used tasks, contacts, & apps (which I use the most). 
There are also things like a compass, news & sports things, etc. I 
hadn't been a fan of Samsung for years (their monitor class action 
really soured me - I was compensated but nothing like we should have 
been) but I couldn't deny the researching I had done on phones. I would 
have went for a more pure Google phone but with VZW or now, AT - it 
wasn't an option. This phone is water proof/resistant & durable. Has 64 
on board and u can expand it with a 128GB card (last I knew, could be 
more now). Updates always go well. No slow downs on videos, games, etc. 
I have no regrets with this phone. However, I am very cautious with 
apps. If it's not well reviewed by 1K+ reviewers & been out awhile - I 
look for something else. I bet there are a thousand apps that do the 
same thing one way or another. Coming from the WP it's like fresh air.

Lumia was upgraded to Win10 a lot of things I needed stopped working
correctly.

It is time to start using a single phone, and the apps I need are on
Android. I am looking to buy a new Android phone...something better then
the Motto G...something better designed, more modern, and will work well
with Win 10. I am not goint to get a contract and I don't need the
latest greatest.  I don't use any social media. I am never going to hack
the bios or do anything esoteric with my phone. My primary goal is
simplicity or use, and  productivity without frustration. I don't know
if there is any big differences outside of physical appearance between
Android manufacturers but I want one that is easy to use, and doesn't
catch on fire. Any suggestions or advice appreciated.
