This is it for the Week 30 from the Android Hits. Hope you had liked it. Sharing is Caring!
Yes as almost the usual, it was another quite interesting week. Among so many different news, yes finally Meizu has launched the Pro 7 (duo). Honestly speaking, we really had heard enough about it, I heard about it more than I heard regarding the Not…
Samsung: release this phone to the masses. I guarantee you that you’ll sell this phone like hot cakes.
I thought Google+ shut down years ago. Who the hell uses it?
G+ isn’t dead yet?
Any updates about Note 8?
Many more coming. Have a look at our homepage 🙂
Want to try the S8+ but also know Note 8 is 5 weeks away. I guess I just need to hold out.
I’ve already joined the Moto Z ecosystem. I won’t need to get any extra mods…. I’m just bummed the unlocked version doesn’t seem to be released yet. If it we’re, I’d jump on it with the free projector. As it is, I’m gonna wait.
I wish Motorola would have unveiled a Droid Turbo 3. I loved both the original and the Turbo 2 and they were perfect for me. I shouldn’t have to get a phone and buy mods for it to get extra juice, though. Not a fan of that.
As it is, there’s plenty of time before I get a new phone, barring a bad situation. I don’t like to just upgrade for the sake of it. Not one of those phone enthusiasts. I upgrade for practicality, but definitely battery power comes into play when I select a phone. By then I figure the next-gen Samsungs will be out and who knows what they’ll be like compared to the ones coming out this year. Could just be minor upgrades, or could be radically better.
Can’t wait V30 until late september. Skippy looks pretty good, btw.
