First off, if it has similar specs to iPhone 7 and running Android OS it is going to be slower than iPhone 7 since Android OS is resource hungry. Also, we will see how great when it comes out. Android phones always ends up disapointing. Hell, their was a vid showing samsung galaxy 7 having a hard time keeping up with iPhone 6s. At least it doesn't explode or anything..... oh wait.

Mean the Note 5?

Yea, I don't know how Samsung screwed it up. S7/S7 edge are lightning fast(like the 6s). Seriously wondering why the Note 5 was an exception. It had the same specs.

Because Android OS takes up a lot of resource. I'm sorry, but it is true.

Yes and Samsung has modified it so it takes even more resources. Stock Android like on Google Nexus devices perform a lot better with lower specs. Sony and One Plus phones also have a more optimised version of Android than Samsung.

Snoopy, derailing threads since 2015. This thread isn't about Android

I lost three pairs of earphones this year, not really ready to lose $159 earphones.

Weird, made a typo. Meant note 7.

 

Apparently the Note 7 is slower than the Oneplus 3 as well. Both the Oneplus 3 and Note 7 suffered from horrible management in the beginning. Oneplus 3 managed to fix it, but i'm worried the note 7 won't.

 

It's a shame. I enjoyed the Note 5 quite a bit. Hoping the note 8 won't be a bust

i just got the SE and i'll sit on that for a while.

we'll see where the market goes but this would probably motivate me to move to android instead of apple when next i upgrade. i mostly use my phone for music so it's a big deal to me.

I don't like those type of earbuds...even if I were given the best ones in the world.

They fall out too much. I like the ones with plastic to go around your ear to ensure it won't get loose or somehow fall out

Ha yea no kidding. Let alone running or working out. Just taking a sip of pop while on the computer makes me need to readjust my earbuds of those design. I have to keep my head perfectly still.

 

How about hearing from someone who's actually worn them rather than just looking at pictures online?

Now, that plastic has been a deal-breaker for me for years—I hate how normal EarPods feel in my ears. They don’t seem like they’re going to stay put, and they simply fall out if I move my head too much. Even if they do stay in, after about a half hour, my ears just start to ache, although I don’t experience the same pain when using earbuds with silicone or foam tips. Since the AirPods look so similar, I expected them to feel the same too—and I’m surprised and happy to report that I was dead wrong.

Not only did I dance, I headbanged. I shook my head side to side, I tossed my hair, I jogged in place, and I looked silly doing all of it. The AirPods stayed put, and they stayed loud. The music (more Sia, naturally) sounded full and lush and I couldn’t hear a single word anyone around me was saying, as if I was completely sealed off in a bubble of rock and roll. Pretty impressive.

have you got it?

Do they have better sound quality than the 20$ wired earbuds? does Iphone 7 not come with earbuds like previous Iphones?

Looks like Will.he.is is going to make a fortune from the new iPhone.
