to run stuff to the big tv through the chromecast.
I had settled on the Samsung A2, but I let my wife talk me out of spending that much, and got a Lenovo 7 for $70.
It's a piece of shit.
I'm still trying to figure out how this no-cable thing is going to work best. Casting it is kind of a PITA, but the other options are limited depending on what content provider you choose.
I had no problem casing with my Samsung S6 edge plus and now with note 8. While there are issues with the provider sometimes. (Directv Now fucking sux balls and Youtube is almost 100% reliable) But the devices themselves rarely have issues.
If you are having issues with the device, then i would invest to get a decent casting device.... it is worth it. I dont think i could ever go back to the traditional TV.
You can get a used Samsung Galaxy 6 for $150, or tablet is even cheaper.

Xiaomi said it lost 7 billion yuan ($1.1 billion) in the first quarter, on revenue of 34.4 billion yuan, due to one-off accounting charges. Excluding those charges, the company reported a profit of 1.7 billion yuan, boosted by an 88% rise in smartphone sales during the quarter.
I wonder what that -$2.8 billion accounting change was for.
Really disappointed in the whole notch trend... I mean I'm sure someone else would've done it even if Apple didn't. But them being the first just accelerated the propagation of the notch. If they do it, that means it's okay.
Is it that big of a deal? No, not really. But does a notchless, bezel-less phone look better? Find me someone that thinks otherwise, and that guy in the Samsung commercial that got his fade lined up to match the notch doesn't count.
Doesn't that have a pop up front camera? That has a moving part that will fail eventually
FaceID is dope, and a lot more secure than retina scanning or the usual facial recognition. To pull off FaceID it requires a camera, IR and depth sensors, that's why the X notch is bigger than the others. Maybe in the future they can combine them all into one device, or put them beneath the screen like they're doing with fingerprint sensors.

Apple wasn't the 1st though. Maybe the 1st to do a wide notch, but not the 1st to do a notch.

iPhone 6 Plus had no moving parts, and their frames bent anyway. The notch looks like ass. Period.
I rarely use the selfie camera, plus how likely is it to fail? Most people who keep up with current devices replace them every year, or other year at the latest.
All those moving parts might look like something waiting to break at a moment's notice, but as Vivo explained when the NEX was announced, the system that it's using is rated to move the front-facing camera up to 50,000 times and lift up to 500-grams of weight.
Hey guys I am looking to get a used galaxy S9+ for my wife and this will be our first android phone, could you guys give me some tips on what to check when buying a used one from craigslist ect.? I know with apple to check to make sure it's not icloud locked but no experience with android.

Do the same thing as you would with iPhone.
Open the box and make sure the phone is in there. Don't be this guy.
Check to make sure it isn't lost or stolen by running a check of the IMEI number
Make sure phone has been factory reset.
Put in your SIM card to test phone. Test every function/button/connection port
I think sometimes depending on carrier the phones aren't plug and play for data. I recall having to have called ATT a few times so that I could use my data.
My advice to you, dont buy shit from Craiglist, spend a little more and get the new or at least manufacture refurbished one.
hell yeah, I'd do a eBay re-manufactured phone in a heart beat over meeting strangers from craigslist. CL is just asking for trouble..
getting jacked or scammed isnt something I want to be a victim of.
a friend used to sell used phones on CL. he always had a story to tell.
from low-ballers to non-equivalent trades...that's that hassle I dont like! lol
Lucky you. I have seen quite a few people who got scammed from CL.
All i am saying is the amount of saving is not worth the risk. If it is priced too low, usually it is too good to be true and you are just asking to get scammed. If it is similarly priced as elsewhere, then why take the risk of meeting a stranger in person who knows you have cash on you?
Samsung phones are spontaneously texting users’ photos to random contacts without their permission
Protect the nudes
July 2, 2018
Bad news for Samsung phone owners: some devices are randomly sending your camera roll photos to your contacts without permission. As first spotted by Android Central and later covered by Gizmodo, users are complaining about the issue on Reddit and the company’s official forums. One user says his phone sent all his photos to his girlfriend. The messages are being sent through Samsung’s default texting app Samsung Messages. According to reports, the Messages app does not even show users that files have been sent; many just find out after they get a response from the recipient of the random photos sent to them.
A Samsung spokesperson tells The Verge it’s “aware of the reports” and that its technical teams are “looking into it.” The forums indicate that Galaxy S9 and S9+ devices are affected, but may not be the only ones afflicted with the bug. Samsung is encouraging those experiencing this issue to call the company directly at 1-800-SAMSUNG.
