Why's that? Everyone is just happy with a 5-6" phone screen now?

I think alot of people are buying chrome books , macbook air , surface and random windows 10 tablet and ipads, that s alot of competition so big android manufacturer are focusing on the phone market
android tablets is a dead business , google pixel next generation might be good , last year is super overpriced, samsung must have some decent one left with the S serie, LG was really good and dropped the ball , asus got some options but their skin kinda blows with alot of bloatware.
Chinese manufacturer are doing some decent tablet with dual boot win10 and android but i doubt it s very reliable yet.
Now what i d like is a surface like ARM chromebook for a decent price, it s my bet on the next good tablet, chromebook hybrid with android apps sound dope to me.

As for your 6" phonecomment , for me that s definitly a factor now since i m using a 6.4inches phone and would want a good 12 inches to feel a tablet beeing worth it.
I already have a decent screen with huge battery with http://www.mi.com/in/mimax/ and a 8 or 10 inches doesnt cut it or add any decent value.

Weird, just tried searching for the Nexus 9 and it's gonzo?
Still love my xperia z3 compact. Nvidia shield would also be an option.

It's also the only tablet that is supported by high-end games.

e.g. A bunch of the steam ports.

Nice, reviews look solid. Seems like good value.

Do you have the older one or the newer K1? Any must have accessories? Sounds like it doesn't come with a charger. Any battery life or charging issues?

I have the K1. And it didn't come with a charger, but I have a million Android Chargers around the house so that was no big deal. I don't have any empirical evidence really, but it seems to hold a charge pretty well.

Anybody use google Fi for mobile service? I haven't had a reason to upgrade from my nexus 5 but keeping my eye on the new Nexus line to be announced soon with an eye on switching to Fi.

Signed up for the Nexus 5x and Fi for $199. Quite happy with it. Hardly use any data as most of my use is wifi.

I've been using Fi for just over a year. If you do any kind of international travel, it's an unbelievably good deal - no international roaming fees. Data is a flat $10/GB, whether you are domestic or international. No switching to local SIM cards in the 120+ countries where they have coverage. Only pay for what you actually use. It's great.

Wow, didn't realize Fi was good for international as well. That's amazing.

From what I've seen in leaks of the new Nexus' it doesn't seem like much of a hardware upgrade from the 6p. Slightly better processor and that's it from what I can tell. Am I wrong?

Yea but that's mostly the story every year... I'm probably upgrading though just to get a smaller phone.

Also an extra GB of RAM though, if it matters.

With what phone? I have the 6P which I thought was lacking OIS, but I've never had this problem. I don't quite understand what it does tbh because I've read elsewhere that there's other processing that makes it a bit redundant anyway?

I dunno, I just know my LG g3 was much better at taking pictures of me Standing in the mirror fully flexed which I'm now learning is 20% of what I use a smartphone for.

You may be flexing so hard that it's causing your hands or the world around you to tremble
