  1. What a horrible comparison. Am i supposed to magically know how big the screen of the sp4 is? Why is the display being measured in megapixels?
  2. I doubt that they're taking a loss on the phone when the phone can be had for less than $30 at bestbuy. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sprint-prepaid-motorola-moto-e-4g-with-8gb-memory-no-contract-cell-phone-black/2729581.p?id=1219563946201&skuId=2729581
  3. Although this is a guide on downloading and reflashing your firmware, it also includes instructions on how to perform a full backup using Samsung Smart Switch. http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/help/flash-stock-firmware-using-samsung-t3079176
  4. Samsung Pay almost never uses nfc.
  5. It's not worth it because you lose Samsung Pay
  6. Have you tried turning off all the beauty features?
  7. You shouldn't base your decision solely on performance per dollar because despite a card being a great value, sometimes it doesn't achieve the performance that you want. Looking at TechPowerUp's performance per dollar chart, the GTX950 is a pretty good value, but not a card many would recommend due to its rather poor performance.
  8. If you log into icloud from your browser and navigate to the contacts webapp, there will be an export button towards the bottom. You can then upload the file to Google contacts.
  9. You probably got it on contract.
  10. Much better OS to use and the better apps. I switched from a 5s to the S7 and find myself missing a lot of iOS features and refinements that are just missing in android.
  11. I'm not sure what the appeal is, but my guess is that because car seats are so expensive and comfortable, people would want one for when they're at the desk?
  12. If the S7 had an A9 soc and dualbooted iOS, then that would be the perfect phone.
  13. But if $200 was their budget, they should wait and see the actual single gpu performance not the possible performance in crossfire. That's like comparing 2 970s vs a 980ti and seeing it perform better without considering the 390. However, the OP here is just straight up considering crossfiring 2 480s which should not be the route to go.
  14. See, that's the key. Everyone in their right minds would pick one card right now, not two lesser cards because that's simply silly.
  15. Went back and checked, it is 1080p I still stand by my recommendation of buying the single most powerful gpu that you can instead of two lesser gpus.
  16. So.. you're saying in the best possible scenario for the 480s, it's unable to provide a good enough gaming experience? The 480s was only able to achieve 62.5fps average at I believe 1080p maxed settings in AMD's demo. That's not a very good sign because future games will only be more demanding.
  17. Ok, even if that is so, 2 480s is not enough to provide a good enough gaming experience (imo) now and definitely not in the future. A good enough gaming experience is 60fps minimum at maxed settings at native screen res. Edit: To add to that, the OP would have to play exclusively DX12 games in which the devs properly utilize multi gpus.
  18. Don't even bother. History tends to repeat itself and it's been shown time and time again that running two low end cards in sli or crossfire requires all the stars to line up and a stroke of luck to get acceptable performance.
  19. Replace Microsoft with Google and it will be spot on.
  20. It probably has to do with yields. Because of AMD's low market share, they're able to get away with using cutting edge technology without running into issues with backorders.
  21. Looks like T-Mobile is thanking their customers by giving their customers the typical carrier run around. http://techcrunch.com/2016/06/07/t-mobile-thanks-customers-with-a-new-freebies-app-that-hasnt-worked-all-day/
  22. It will probably be similar to most cheap tempered glass screen protectors that advertise 9H hardness. This prompted me to check gorilla glass' website and to my surprise, very few manufacturers actually use gorilla glass 4- out of the popular ones, only Samsung out of LG, HTC, and Apple uses it.
  23. Even though Google sponsored this video, I can't help feeling that there was too much selling out compared to many other sponsored videos.
  24. That is simply not true. The way installment plans work is you either pay $0 at the beginning, $100, or $200 then they take the full value of the phone ($650 for the 6s) and subtract however much you initially paid and then divide it by 24 and that will be the monthly cost of the phone. The other $50 or so will be the service cost of the carrier (probably T-Mobile's udp in this case).
  25. Less heat which in turn means a healthier longer lasting battery.
