I have given my Nexus 6P to Idlan after his Oppo broke. I had been using the Huawei P10 and the experience of vanilla Android was always something i missed. More so when I saw the pushed update on Idlan’s phone the other day.
It was for Oreo. Damn!
His phone had been smooth as silk since the update and I was not sure when the update for Huawei going to be .... guessed I would have to wait a bit longer ....

A week has passed since the iOS update and now Sierra was released. I decided to fresh boot my Mac Pro and started from scratch. It was not as painful as I thought it was going to be. The only problem was the driver for my Razer keyboard was not yet updated, so I was back with the Apple keyboard. No big deal but I have to cut down on the gaming a bit.
All the other programs seemed OK. Even the Aperture - which is no longer natively supported by Apple seemed to working fine.
And then came Nougat ....On the same morning, I also got a message that my Nexus had Nougat ready for download! Off we go!

There had been a long wait since the last Kit Kat update for my Nexus 7. Almost 6 months I think. Finally earlier in the week, the latest version was pushed through. Android 4.3.3.
Any major changes? Not that I could tell. They were mainly under the hood I was sure. After all, it was a small increment, but it still kept the Nexus devices a version ahead of the rest.
Shame that there would be no new Nexus devices in the horizon and Google had decided against developing this platform. I would not hesitate to buy the next version of Nexus 7 should they come out, but there were not to be. At least as it stood at the moment.
Almost cooked!Should my Nexus 7 became outdated, I might go Sony. Some of their 7 incher or similar looked interesting indeed. Will be keeping an eye on that.
As it stood, let's see what was in store...

Another and another update for the Nexus 7. This time it was a small increment to version 4.4.2 of Kit Kat. Can't really appreciate what the change was.
Apparently it was more to do with the camera setup for Nexus 5. I hardly use the 7 for picture taking at all. So, can't really tell the difference. At least we knew that Google is innovating.
At the edge
I had been impressed with the review on the S6 since the announcement was made. It was a toss up between this new Samsung flagship or the HTC M9.
Having owned the M7 and Galaxy Nexus and S2 previously, I was familiar with the strength of both lines, but clearly the Galaxy S series had moved along quite far, compared to the HTC.
So, I did a free order and picked up my phone last weekend. I went for the S6 Edge. Although honestly, apart from the slicker form factor and bigger battery capacity, there were not much deterrence between the standard S6 and the Edge. The specs were identical.
After a couple of days of use, I was struck by how comfortable the phone felt on my phone compared to my staple, the iPhone 6 Plus.
The Edge was just blazing fast and the Lollipop OS just sang! There was no lag which I could detect although I hardly put any skin on the system to compliment the standard Samsung interface.
I use the standard Google app - Mail, Calendar and the rest. Of course the first thing I did was download Facebook, Twitter, Feedly, 2Do, Instagram, Flickr and VSCO cam among others. Then I went about putting the phone through its pace.
A couple of things was plain obvious from the start. Yes, the screen was gorgeous and reception on LTE was fast. But unexpectedly the camera and battery life were the features which impressed me the most.
The app of choice so far for image post-processing was Snapseed. The newly updated 2.0 version was just amazing. I can't stop admiring the camera output and I have yet to explore its full potential.
The second thing which impressed me was the battery life. I had been reading reviews that due to high resolution screen and small form factor, battery life was limited. I have yet to experience such a drain so far. At least compared to the Nexus 4 and M7. Or even the Oppo Find 7 which carried the same.screen resolution - although on a physically larger-dimensioned screen.
I have a wireless charger placed at my clinic and I just put it on the tray while seeing patients. No issues. And setting up emails were a doodle, but I was still using the basic apps for them. None of those fancy app or Samsung's proprietary programs. They were just too fiddly.
One major criticism I had out of the box was the keyboard. They were just lame. Fleksy soon fixed those up. If only they could make some similar to my Z10 - which I still use for emails at home - then the S6 Edge would be perfect!
These were still my early impression but I think this phone would be a hit, especially for the power user. I have set up my Feedly account to connect to my bitly service, so expect many updates on Facebook coming soon!
