The only "nice" Android hardware I see now is coming from Sony.
Understated black slabs, no lazy bulging camera lens protruding from the back, no half-arsed slapped-on fingerprint sensor mucking up the chin and no strange amorphous blob-like body shapes.
- e12e 10y agoAnd a pretty good support for Open Source, unfortunately not a given in the Android marketplace: http://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/ http://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/
- fossuser 10y agoThose phones do look nice - unfortunately for me google dropped the ball so hard with ignoring google voice for years and pushing a broken hangouts SMS integration that iMessage came and ate their cake. Not willing to leave now mostly because of iMessage (though iOS scrolling is nice too - probably lack of JVM?). Shame too because google was ahead of the game on a lot of this stuff, products just weren't focused.
- amiga-workbench 10y agoThats always been the case with Google, they never follow through properly on any of their products. The Pixel C is beyond irritating, the hardware is solid enough, but the tablet experience on Android is so anaemic (Even Google's own first party software is barely tablet optimised, in some cases there has been a serious regression since previous versions of their apps)
