Yea right. What, are they going to lock down the .apk file somewhere?
Pretty much guaranteed Assistant will be a Pixel exclusive.
Don't see how they can lock down a software feature to a specific piece of hardware.

The launcher is already being sideloaded but the Nexus devices won't get it as standard I guess. I think the Nexus devices will get Vanilla Android.
its an apk
we will get it at some point

Nope, it's built in into 7.1
And I really don't see the point in using the Pixel Launcher. No customization at all. Are we using iPhones!?

Yea I had it on my Nexus 6. I could care less about Google Assistant. I kind of like it for the house, though.
Simply put, I'm not one of the people who just talk TO my phone, especially out in public in a "look at what I'm doing" type of way...like the asshats that talk to Siri about everything.
The pixel phones have a proprietary SystemUI (GoogleSystemUI) or something, among other new google-specific components.
Google assistant is likely tied into some of that and will be incompatible with the nexus as a result.
+1
The Pixel launcher has already been released as an APK. I've been playing with it on an old Galaxy S2 running a wacky Marshmallow CM build.
To be honest, the only reason I even keep it on there is that it is marginally better than the CM default launcher. It has zero customization, the app drawer is stark white, and other than using a different gesture to get to the app drawer, works pretty much like the old Nexus launcher. It does have your most recent apps at the top, which is nice.
Google s new way of doing things is awful, I hate saying this but even Apple has better software support now. All this "exclusive Pixel software" s.....t is a big slap on the face of all the loyal Nexus users.

A feature to be exclusive could NOT be open source otherwise it's NOT exclusive.
This is what most of all alarms me.
With Pixel is Google becoming an OEM like Samsung, LG, HTC ecc?
If Pixel will have great sales impact what is the future of android?
Pretty disappointed about this Pixel. Not for hardware or crazy price but mostly for future implications that this change will bring.
Damned business.. So tired talking just about money..
I like both Slim launcher / Trebuchet launcher more than Pixel launcher.
Nova launcher will get all the pixel features icons and everything very soon, which is much more customizable.

GS3
-Because it is android.
I agree but don't you think the holographic features are just too awesome?
"Ever wondered why??"
I see some stupid posts going around, but this is up there with the most stupid of them. Neither of these phones exist, we know nothing about them, and this is the Android subsection.
I guess that is why I asked about the personal opinion of people who have experience with both Samsung and iPhone phones... and what the people expect from both the brands...

iPhone has far better build quality then any android phone. If you want your phone to actually get timely updates then you have to get a Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus, which really restricts your "choice" to 2 phones. Meanwhile a 3yr old iPhone 3GS gets iOS 5 day 1 and still runs smoother than most android phones with 5x better hardware.

My SGS2 get updates continously, no problem there.
Of course new major releases like ICS takes 3-4 months from google/nexus release to release for other phones but that is simply part of the business model. And it is in fact mainly positive, because it gives plenty of time for developers to adapt apps for the new major version before average Joe gets the update.
Why would it be better if Google delayed Nexus ICS just to give Samsung/HTC etc time to adapt it to their phones?
Nexus and sgs2 have a good history of successful updates of Android series...

Apples to oranges. Do you want a touchscreen jitterbug device or an Android based smartphone? That's what it comes down to at the end of the day. How about you go to the store, play with both, and come back and tell us what you chose and why.

Meaningless comparison/data. Actually using both and buying based on one's particular usage is the only comparison that matters.
Totally different devices and experiences. I don't think anyone should try to compare the two. First choose Android or iOS then decide from there. That said ...
http://www.stuff.tv/apple/apple-iphone-5s-vs-lg-g2/feature
you coudl get a good phone, like the G2
or you could get the iphone, aka baby's first smartphone
I don't know about posting in a G2 forum because the majority of people here are going to say G2.
That being said I have an iPad for Apple stuff and my G2 for everything else. Even though people are a little apprehensive about the LG UI it does grow on you (I was a big Nova launcher user). It really depends on how you use your phone.

But seriously, I entertained the iPhone 5S as well. I don't want a smaller screen, though. And while I'm not addicted to flashing and modding my phone, I would like to have that option. If LG lags with updates, I can just grab a ROM from the community here.
Go get the 4s update to ios7 and save $200 its the same thing. People got to understand its not hard to make a phone benchmark high, its also easy to make an iturd look fast because it does absolutely nothing, all it has to do is render a few small icons on a little dippy ass 4 inch 720p 5 year old retina display! Take an ijunk and put half of the features this phone or the s4 has and it will hardly run!
If you have to ask this question you should probably buy an iphone and be done with it. The advantages of android will probably be lost on you.
Anyone asking that question here should buy an iPhone. Enjoy your purchase

I wish it did have the screen stay on feature when watching a video on Facebook or whatnot where you gotta move the screen once in a while to stop it from dimming. Yeah the note 7 was a failure and it also was a slow phone (Snapdragon model) but this phone having the same chip runs a lot better. Must be better optimized. The note 7 cam does beat the main cam on this phone tho, it also took HDR pics super fast. Pros and cons to everything.

No, I love the G5
Let's get this clear the G5 has the face down silence option, and if it's packed with features, u just have to look for them in the settings, and beside all that the wide angle lens is the most innovative camera feature ever on a smartphone, what would u do if u had a pixel ?
Coming from Motorola, Lenovo, and Huawei phones, and just looking at stock settings on the G5, I'm pretty impressed by what LG included. Just to be able to change global font and theme without root would've been revolutionary to me not that long ago. Granted, the LG store is relatively young/limited -and I've no idea where it will go- but it's a promising starting point. 360 wideangle live wallpaper with wideangle camera lens to make your own (eventually), drag-and-drop touch button settings, multiwindow, shortcut key commands, as small a detail as battery percentage preference... Many of these things we're used to as root mods, and in that sense they may be boring, but to have them as part of the stock basis makes me look forward to expansions of customization in the not-too-distant future, if not by LG in their store, then by the enthusiasts in this realm. It's encouraging, far from boring!

well, yes they release bugged soft, but at least they do update the phone. i remember having huawei mate 7. huawei used to release newer android iteration like year after it's release and left us all on buggy software that barely worked..
Good job ZTE!
They said very soon on Facebook I dont have a fix date sorry
It seems the update is already out for the Chinese version and it fixed the Play Store problem.
Gloabal Version should get a update soon too haha and it google play store is fixed too
Hopefully it will fix Android Pay as well. It got broken between 7.0 and 7.1.1. Although I suspect this is more of a certificate issue.
Sent from my ZTE A2017G using Tapatalk
Want a stable device? Use the software they came with (6.0).
buggy software is not unique for ZTE and tbh, the 7.1.1 update is BETA for G devices anyway. Officialy my device is on 6.0.1 with B6. And it's stable and has all the features i bought the phone for.
People buy budget devices and get irritated that they dont offer premium support like Pixel regarding software.. You cheap out and this is what you get.
More and more of the market is cheap-ish devices (compared to high end like samsung, pixel or 700+ buck devices) and one thing is common - hardware is what earns them money and there is 0 incentive for companies like ZTE to update devices after initial sale. Updating a 9 month old device earns them no more sales and only cost them developer time.
I think you'll find 7.0 is official. The 2017G version was very stable - better than the US variant.
7.1.1 is also an official OTA update. Hopefully this bug fix patch will address the issues that crept in from 7.0. I suspect the 7.1.1 build was based on the US version, not Global.

Thank god for that, and honestly raw mode for the camera is so needed as the image processing is of the worst I've ever seen on a phone for the last 5 years, and yes i do mean that. The camera is appalling, i don't know if the image quality could be fixed with software or if the hardware is so flawed in terms of camera it doesn't matter what they do.
Sounds like a moan, so just to say love the A7, but the camera is just such a chink in its armour.

Also, before 7.1.1 update, the zte locker showed more different lockscreen images, it seems the images don't update anymore. Anyone else notice this?

Those issue introduced with 7 and 7.1.1(B01) and have mentioned it several time.
Now I'm on 6.0.1(B11) and works flawlessly just like all time when ZTE released that feature with B08 for G version.
Since ZTE didn't address that issue I'm staying at 6.0.1 and not gone upgrade.

How to go back to coloros? Like u got color os msm tool for 9r?
I have a 9R, it's a superb phone. I have absolutely no issues with it. Like it's totally super great. Not trying to be sarcastic. Only one downside - the phone can't go SUPER loud call volume. But unfortunately this plagues the 9 Pro as well - and the 8T which is the same internals as the 9R minus the SOC.
And for some reason the call volume thing only happened to like one-two people. I bought a 9 Pro to alleviate the problem and guess what? Still can't hear crap. OnePlus phones are just generally more quiet than a Pixel 4a or a like a Samsung flagship.
But yeah, if I were to buy a Samsung, I'd spend like 1500$ on the phone, and the updates would slow it down to a crawl within a few months. I've had like Note 4, Note 9, Note 10+ and they all been the same.
So yeah. Good phone.
- Great GPS signal
- Great sound
- Great performance, no overheating/heat problems
- Battery has been solid, though, 1 day with heavy use (well you can buy a 6000-7000mAh "phone" with 250g weight if you want more lol)
I've been also using the ColorOS on my 9 Pro for a while now. Honestly, it's not so bad. Been a bit rough on the edges at start but you can live with it and updates will fix these minor problems.
