[QUOTE=Stopper;44858664]So, I'm finally switching to a smartphone. I've decided to go Android. What are some good phones on the market right now? I've been looking at the Nexus 5/7. Are they really that good?[/QUOTE] The Nexus 7 is not a smartphone, but the Nexus 5 is about the best phone you can get for that price.

Is it just me or does the S3 not work with ANY headphones except the ones it comes with? All the headphones I've tried only get audio in the left ear.
Who uses Google+ Android app anyways.. All I use it for is look through my photo albums for photos to post in group chats. That's pretty much it.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;44858673]The Nexus 7 is not a smartphone, but the Nexus 5 is about the best phone you can get for that price.[/QUOTE] Eh, shows how much I know. How does it compare to... Say an S4? Also, I noticed it doesn't have an SD slot. That's kinda shitty - I guess I'll have to go with the 32GB model.
So why are Micro SD card slots suddenly making a comeback? :v: The new Moto G has it, the Moto E has it, most of the flagships this year have it...And this is [I]after[/I] Google made it harder for users to use the MicroSD as they used to. (while making it better for developers but no-one's using the new storage access API shit so fuck it)
because microSD cards make sense? like i can't even imagine having to choose between 16 or 32GB of storage ONLY. i could fill up four Nexus 5's with music alone let alone pictures and videos. right now I've got a 64GB card in my galaxy s5 for music and i leave the rest up to the 16GB of internal storage. also even after having the S5 for a while i don't really get the people who complain about bloatware. go into settings, force stop app, disable notifications, and freeze it. there is literally zero performance difference between when the apps are on and when the apps are off. they're unintrusive (except for the S Voice which activates on home button long presses unless you turn that off) and entirely out of the way unless you use them. in fact, the S Health app is actually pretty cool. score 1 for me because literally everything people told me for reasons not to get an S5 seemed like and actually ended up being total bullshit [editline]20th May 2014[/editline] also i like touchwiz so i might be the devil himself
32GB of storage should be standard for high-end, hell, even mid-range handsets, and 64GB shouldn't be anymore than $50 more. Maybe 128GB for another $100 on top of that. The only reason I see MicroSD cards as necessary at the moment is because of the piddly amount of internal storage even the highest end of phones have right now. It's awful. And not to mention the system (incl. bloatware) can take up anywhere between 2GB and 7GB of space (Looking at you, TouchWiz), which is pathetic on a 16GB phone...
how do you have 64gb of music
[QUOTE=Nalty;44861550]how do you have 64gb of music[/QUOTE] I have 58.1GB, clocking in at 358 hours of music
