That looks pretty ok, Now If we could run a windows OS on it and it would have a little bit beefier cpu that would be gamechanger.
Hopefully in a few years they make it happen.

Laptop CPU's has stood in the same place for probably the past 4-5years , at least the phone CPU's are getting better and better.
Wanting to run Windows OS on a desktop PC takes a special kind of person. Wanting to run it on a mobile phone is just madness. Madness I say... rofl

I'm in the same boat with my Nexus 6P.

Pixel was a huge jump in price but in my opinion not enough of an upgrade to justify the price. Since having a few Nexus I can't go back to something like Samsung.
Indeed the last Samsung worth buying was the S4.
All downhill from there.
Try an S8.

I've had Galaxy Nexus
Nexus 5
Oneplus one
Oneplus 3T

So, all phones with good hardware (at the time) and stock or close to stock android, and i was very impressed with the S8. It's a lovely bit of kit, software is perfectly fine and the screen is a beauty. Can't justify £700 though.

Have you seen that Sheeple has made it into the dictionary?

Dictionary said:
Apple's debuted a battery case for the juice-sucking iPhone—an ungainly lumpy case the sheeple will happily shell out $99 for.
