Anyone here customize their hardware? thinking about doing an accessory show case thread. Good idea?
What I got is an iPhone 5s that's somehow not broken after the amount of falls it has gone through. It does the job for what it's worth.
Sony Xperia SP.
I'm due to update to a Z3+ at some point.
Galaxy S4.
I'll just say this. BLU can make good products, but any of their phones with 1GB RAM aren't worth a dime. I made that mistake with the Life 8 XL. Beautiful phone but horrible performance. I'm interested in how much of a difference 1GB makes in an Android phone, and for only $30 more.Got rid of the S4 (it was having some really weird problems) and bought a BLU Life One X. I like it so far for the price.

Just received my Galaxy S7 Edge and very happy thus far. 👍
@SecretAgentZero, absolutely nothing.
@SecretAgentZero, got mine four days prior to the official release and I wouldn't like to play the waiting game either.
@SecretAgentZero, expensive is always relative. I got it for 800 € (about US$900) straight from Samsung. Will register it and get a 'free' Gear VR shipped to me, as well.
I'm assuming you've got the Exynos version. Will be interesting to see which version has better battery life.@SecretAgentZero, absolutely nothing. The fingerprint sensor works 100% - on top of that, it's very (!) fast. The camera is amazing in every possible way, the build quality is unmatched and the battery life... Well, take a look:

7 hours of screen-on-time - all while performing excellently! And there's still 50% battery charge left.
I still have the SP. Ever since Sony gave it an update filled with bugs, the phone has been awful. It hangs, freezes and sometimes even reboots without me doing anything. It's also capable of losing 25% of battery without me doing anything, force closing apps, overheating, and running out of battery with 15% of battery left.
Thankfully, my parents have agreed to get me an iPhone 6s in the near future, so I don't have to use this any longer.
It's a shame really, this phone was capable of so much and Sony decided to abandon it.
In my experience, the 4.3 update that the SP received made it faster and smoother than the 4.1 update that it shipped with, but multitasking performance was crippled. Installing a different ROM made it better, but multitasking was still pretty bad.Isn't it possible to root it and load a different OS on it? Or go back to the previous version of the official firmware?
Wish i could get mine. My store won't release it to me until tomorrow.Just received my Galaxy S7 Edge and very happy thus far. 👍
If that picture was taken on your current phone I'd suggest it's time to go shopping.@NP I'm thinking about getting a S7 but read that the speakers are terrible? Tempted as I found out you can get a keyboard case but might wait it out for BlackBerry Rome as I quite like capacitive keyboards.
I wonder if there will be a S7 Mini released.
