Latest News On Android Phones

The bezels are a bit large for this year, and the battery arrived at 0% (suggesting it spent a long time in a warehouse), but this is a great phone for the (sale) price. Took a long time to update to the latest and only learned after the fact that I could have flashed it with the latest Android bypassing the intermediary steps. It pays for itself in months in free Google Photo storage if you are an avid image creator. The only issue I've noticed is that sounds played through the browser sound far worse than in my other Android phones. This is likely a firmware/software issue that Google isn't even aware of and as such, given their inability to take in bug reports, will probably never fix. I took the Verizon SIM card out before updating and it was hard to connect to Wi-Fi at first, but in the end, after all the updates, there was no Verizon crapware. I have been using the phone only on Wi-Fi so I cannot confirm that it works with other providers, but I don't expect that to be an issue moving forward. I wish it came with a cover, as most phones do these days, but I was able to order one on eBay for $3.

Got this phone and love it so far, nice and fast for such an old phone. got updated to the latest version. and will get android 12. and you get unlimited photo/video backup for free!

The display is phenomenal, if you are considering it, just do it. I have been an android user for years and so happy I waited for this gen before dipping into Apple iOS. The experience is wonderful! However, sidecar to macbook took some serious trouble shooting-- even with the latest M1 macbook and the latest iOS on iPad, there was still a bug I had to work around. Otherwise flawless!

Great way to get solid sound into your iPhone. Also use their usb-c version for android phones- works great!!!

I got this item thinking I could use it on any Android, but it is for specific phones, unfortunately. Never the less, it works great. Good quality product and no problems using it. Just pull it out of the box and plug in. Simple as that. Super fast charge!

Ive always had android phones but not one like this!  The screen is vivid, cameras are amazing.  Having Android Pie is great because I love having dark mode.  Getting to one of the first to get future updates is a plus as well.  No sd card slot but Im learning to be ok with that.  The two front speakers are awesome because I love music and it sounds great. The phone has no issues connecting with my cars stereo via bluetooth.   The Pixel Stand is a great compliment with this phone (ordered from another store).  B&H is an awesome store. I ordered it on a Sunday and it arrived two days later, a day early!!  This was my second purchase from B&H and another great shopping experience.

I've used a Motorola E6 and G7 Power before this phone. Both of the previous phones were excellent. However, the G Power is BY FAR the best phone I've ever had. Battery life, screen, camera and general ease of use are just plain better than anything I've ever had. Android 10 is incrementally better than Android 9.

I can now plug my keyboard and mouse wireless adapter into this puppy and then into my Samsung Tablet or Android phones and it's good to go. Plus I can plug a USB flash drive with movies and music into this puppy and I'm set for hours with entertainment to pass the time when traveling in a car or on a plane. I got 3 of these so I don't have to share with my wife and son. This is a must for our devices.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In our home, we all Android phones and we're constantly losing or "borrowing" one anothers. With Belkin three port USB-C charger with PPS, I was able to put three phones to charge at the same time in a common area. I love it! Everyone always has their phones in hand, so I plugged it in the kitchen, took everyone's phone and we all were able to sit down and eat dinner as a family. I will continue to do this. Not only did it inspire this great idea but it is an amazing charger that does what it says. Charge FAST. By the time we were all done, all three phones were charged up.

It's the most compact Android that is physical dual sim/sd card that works with Verizon, and works with c band. Fingerprint is way better than it was on the 5 III. I don't even use the camera much, I just wanted the form factor and as a result of such, I've been using Sony phones since the z5 compact. The screen is great. Yes, it gets warm, but I believe the updates have made it better?? It could just be because the ambient temperature is getting cooler outside by the day too? I use it to do food delivery and the screen is always on and running multiple apps. I have no big deal breaking complaints. Side note- gps signal is more accurate than on my pixel 6a. Signal strength is on par with most phones, it may be a few less db, but I haven't lost service anywhere. If I never did, I'd just switch to my other sim! Love Sony!
