    It was a problem on several LGs. They would heat up and it melted some component and it would endlessly boot up and you can't recover any data or get past the boot looping.

    Solid. I'm a samsung guy, because I am used to them, as are others with apple. They both make fucking fantastic phones though. We all know it. Have fun with that bad boy.

    I had a weird issue with my pixel 4xl this week. Wouldn't recognize my face but also wouldn't let me enter my pin to get it unlocked. It had to be some issue with the brightness. Factory reset it, no problem. Everything was backed up and it's working better than before.

    I currently have the 10SMax....... so it's been 3 years since I got one. The past few have had very minor changes, so since I knew the 12 was going to be a major overhaul, I have patiently waited. Very excited for this one. Can't wait to get my hands on that camera!!!!!

    Pixel 5 comes October 29th. It is said to have the same old aging sensor in the camera which might be a bit disappointing.

    I ended up getting an SE for 250, it's really nice besides the screen being the same size as my Samsung. Switching from Android to IOS was no bid deal though.

    Preordered the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Has five fucking lenses on it. Since there isn't a memory card anymore, I ended going with the 512 GB version. Shit is like $1400 retail (I did a trade in with my S10+, getting some free accessories, etc). With the Trade in, came out to $826 out the door, but it came with 2 cases (promo credit), the new Samsung Galaxy Buds pro and their version of the tile. Also got 10% using Rakuten on the web browser off the retail paid not including the inflated sales tax so knock $60 off that too.

    Contemplating actually getting insurance on it now since its so fucking expensive, its usually probably not worth it, but who knows. $144 a year x 2 years = adds an extra $300 to the cost of the phone.

    I'll be taking dope pics of my food and shoes now though.

    With all that space, they needed a bigger box!
