General It's here and it's impressive - Huawei Mate X2

So I ordered, crazy, a bit of buyers remorse due to the price. Sickens me. Can't afford to eat for 3 weeks
But that build is so nice. I have a mate 40 RS, galaxy z fold 2, this mate x2 beats them all in build. I gotta stop buying theses things. F this!
Surprisingly the camera is a bit better than the mate 40 RS camera, expected it to be the same now this is a camera! So glad I got rid of my S21 ultra

Yes the case is included, best phone ever, and with gspace I've got my Google needs, although I can do without Google.
The outer screen comes with a protector, the inner screen does not from what I can see, I have ocd and I've hardly used inner beautiful screen until its protector arrives! Painful
It's a clear hardware upgrade from the z fold 2. The camera is the best out there

Hello Bro, which store did you purchased from? I only see $3780 and $4960 from your link instead of $2.75k.

Are you able to install 3rd party launchers at all? (Such as Lawnchair or Rootless Pixel Launcher)
If you are able to do that, can you take some photos as I would love to see it with a different launcher.

I have the phone and 3rd party launchers do not work. I can open Nova but there is no way to set it as the default launcher.

Apparently China Roms have blocked 3rd party launcher and Adb so it's pretty much stock all the way sadly.

The Mate X2 looks really nice, I think its more polished than the Mate Xs.
BTW - does the Mate X2 come with a new keyboard from Huawei instead of the Swift Keyboard? Saw something like that on the Mate X2 keynote with an improved "Split Keyboard"
[Update: if it does can you post the APK as I would like to try it on the Mate Xs? Thanks]

Thanks for letting me know.

Lol, thanks for sharing, just pulled the trigger myself (in the UK also). Quick question; did you manage to get the Google services to work, I've seen the odd review that it is possible? I'm mostly interested in Google Pay?

Yes in general you can install Google Services on Huawei phones (all models without Google Services support). Its a bit tedious, and Google Pay will not work.

Google works practically perfectly, except Google pay.
Still testing this thing, I like it a lot. Content

Yeah everything seems to work great for me except Pokemon Go. Camera takes really great photos.

Haven't been this excited since Fold2

Does anyone know of a Google Cardboard kit or template that would work with the Nexus 6?

Does anyone know of any form Google Cardboard that would work, or can someone make a template that would work with the Nexus 6?

If they have dimensions listed why not just scale it up for the Nexus?
These are the bigger versions of the original version:

The first link is confirmed not to work with the Nexus 6, it causes a double vision. The second link is supposed to work but unfortunately I live in Canada and it doesn't ship to me and I can't find a similar thing on Amazon.ca

Check out the Knoxlabs cardboard for Nexus 6
It looks better than the ImCardboard one because the lenses are actually wider so that you have a bigger FOV with the bigger phones

Sigh. Owned once again!
Just received my iamcardboard-- Nexus 6 version. Don't know if they are using the same lenses they use in their smaller kits, but the field of view is pretty weak and there certainly is double vision in many cases. The phone fits well enough, but I'm going to have to do some fiddling to see if I can get any better results.
will try that knoxlab one.

Serious note, there are a few VR apps in the play store now, its just a cheap entry level into exploring Virtual Reality. I'm going to give it a crack when I can find a Nexus 6 version that doesn't cause double vision. And one cheap enough for delivery to the UK.

I just want to say that it's ok it's nothing more than a game!
if there was a bigg problem with an important app for example...then I would say yes u r right!
next mobiles will have other new sensors and new apps will come out..what must we do then??
(at this point,we keep only your great nickname ☺??)
I don't know about you guys but i check every spec before buying so i knew i was getting a phone without a gyroscope. I made that decision. Yes Motorola could have included it but they did not and although i curse them on ocassions like this, i remember that i made the decision to buy based on other good features the phone was offering. Also Motorola DID NOT force anyone to buy. You made the decision and by blaming Motorola now, you are just blaming yourself. Sorry if i hurt you

also if u search a little in kickstarter...I saw that some guys invented a phone case that has inbuild sensors,lazer,and many more removable items that u can choose which of them to attach to the case!

Moto didn't force anyone to buy the X play. Before buying any phone, check it's specs properly but if you didn't and then start saying blah blah, then it's ****.
I don't miss gyroscope. Hell I didn't even know it doesn't have it.

Use the battery saver in Pokemon GO settings.
That just dims the screen. It doesn't work properly with the X play becuase of the lack of a gyro
you need the moto z force plus the battery mods for pokemon go. even if you hit a tree or got hit by a car, at least you'll be relieved that your phone's screen didn't crack.
I don't know why but Pokemon Go works pretty laggy for me. On Huawei P8 Lite works much better than on this phone. :|

Note8 Keyboard Cover

Anyone know if Samsung will bring the keyboard cover to North America?
It's on the global site - but no info:

It's on the Korean site for sale though:

Man alive, I've been looking high and dry for this. No idea why it's not for sale yet in the States. Been wanting this case as much as the Note8 itself.
Ditto. I've had this for my last 2 Sammys (Note7, S8) and will buy this the second it is available. Great case and the keyboard is nice to use on the train.
You can get this right now for $70 on ebay (there's exactly 1 listing of it), but it's a korean model with dual kr/en labeling on the keys.
I wonder if this would "clip on" to other 3rd party cases (i.e. UAG, Spigen, etc..
That is very cool. I've never been good at typing on virtual keyboards. This would be great to have.

I ordered and asked them about Korean. They sent a picture and yes it does have English/Korean. I'd rather not have the English shrunk to accommodate the Korean which is useless for me however it seems to me that it's not coming out here in the USA. I wasn't following the s8 when it came out, was the keyboard case released with it amongst its accessories or did it come later?
Is the keyboard cover heavy? And will it scratch the bottom of the phone a lot?
Looks interesting. Was a huge fan of the hardware keyboard on the HP Pre3.
About this Note 8 keyboard, does it work well if you have put on a tempered glass screen protector?
Also, are you forced to use the case that comes with it, or can you use it with third-party cases of similar thickness?

Based in the reviews I've watched it looks well made not heavy and will not scratch phone. I'll update when I get it.

I just got it and they keys feel great. It will only work with the case it comes with. It won't scratch the screen and probably will work with screen protector. One flaw with Korean is the period is a dollar sign so you have to press and hold for a second and the it's a period. It's not backlit they should at least made it glow in the dark. I'll probably memorize it soon enough. Size wise it is a little smaller then the on screen smallest size Samsung keyboard. Buttons have real nice click and feel. No cursor arrows.
I figured out how to fix the period issue. So working perfect. Definitely could use backlight but hopefully soon will learn to type without looking.

But you're right, this is a horrible decission, my phone is broken and I've been waiting for the OP5 midnight black to come back in stock for 2 weeks, only because of this useless partnership. I hope they sell very poorly.

It's a nice idea. I like it very much.
This is crap! Another excuse by OnePlus to do virtually nothing and charge you more money. It's no wonder you can find this phone on sale ($416.00 at Gearbest with OP5SAVER code). From the 3->3T->5, improvements have been minimal turning Never Settle into Always Settle.
I ordered a grey OP5 just before the hype of the announcement (still waiting for it to be delivered), but I quite like the new coloured button design. I'n not too sure about the back, but then I always use a case anyway.
OnePlus (More likely Carl Pei) really are becoming far too pretentious, you're a small company not a niche company. Stick to what's important and stop getting sidetracked with pointless attention seeking ventures.

You weren't relading the pre-release announcements very closely then. A OnePlus 5T wouldn't be limited edition, would it? The speculation from tech writers was not only 100% that it would be something like this but the specific company OnePlus was in partnership with was known weeks ago.

5T? For what?
OP5 is about 3 months old and already has 2 months old security patch on OOS. They would support 2 flagships even more slowly. I can see a lot of potential in this phone, so I hope Oneplus is smart enough to focus on this one atm.
tell that designer stop smoking cheap weed
I was expecting a complete new color, not the midnight black OP5s sent to warranty and refurbished with colored buttons
Seriously? Oneplus wants to walk on a fashion catwalk or chasing make their phones as a fashion accessory? In this has become OnePlus?

I suggest then you ask yourself, "Why are they willing to charge Europeans so much more?" Go to the bottom of the page and select USD for currency and you will see the price difference. If the US version supports your bands used in Europe, I would convert some € to $ and buy the US version. That is if you still want to do business with them.

Question SM-G998B AUE1 MAY UPDATE

You can post what you feel about the update here .
For me
1) qr code in camera app is way faster
2) camera doesnt heat up the phone now
3) gaming also runs cooler
4) animations are better
5) expect an sot of 1h more than you got with april update.
Looking for more changes ..
Tell me in comment .
I think samsung is doing a great job ,
I was about to trade off my s21 ultra with mi 11 ultra , but this update has stopped me doing so.
I can't wait until my phone recieve the update.
This is so promising that samsung still fixing and adding new features every month.
I would say a 10% better everything even though it might be a placebo. All running smooth. Used the camera a lot today for pics and videos. Youtube, browsing and etc, and now 3:33 SOT and battery at 46%. I guess that may be a tad better than before. Camera seems better too somehow.

I think they are moving towards apple kind of ecosystem and software.
And if they can do that , i am not leaving samsung for as long as they maintain that .
They still need to work on animations , accidental touches, and 60-120 hz management in some apps

First full day with May's update. I did a clean install via Odin since it was the second update in a row of over 1GB.
Everything is running smoothly. Battery I think is maybe 5-10% better but have to give it a few days. Can't comment on the camera yet. Usage is on WiFi, 120Hz, FHD+.
Is it officially out for india?? I haven't got it yet!

It's officially out for India, however the OTA rollout seems to be taking some time.
something wrong with european Updates (less DBT). No Spain, Uk, etc.

Try Frija, its very fast to download it.
wise advice. I only use one time to install PHE before change CSC, then always wait for OTA
OKay, will wait it out then. Last month I received the update on April 9th; so this time I presume it will be similarly timed.
I'm able to achieve 10hours Sot (48 hours cycle) on this release, prior to that the sot was in the 8/9 hours. I mostly use browser, youtube, youtube music and ocasional gaming (Wild Rift)
On Vodafone model in UK so I expect it will be a couple of weeks before I get this but it sounds like it makes what is already one of the best phones money can buy even better.
Great to see Samsung get the Exynos up to near Snapdragon levels of quality at last.
Unlocked exynos UK here, no sign of the update yet. I've read it improves the shutter response, which would be great!

Photo processing seems better too.
Look at this photo I took today. It's sharp, detailed and HDR is awesome.
