          Trump Fan 1980, 03 Mar 2018 It'd be nice if this came with Oreo preinstalled.Oreo should have been mandatory. Google should draw up a requirement for OEM's to use new current software whenever a new version has been released. Exactly the reason why I don't understand why anyone looks back. Why does everything have to be of a previous generation or after the fact.

Still we better implement better solutions for other material consuming... maybe to be less of a consuming society.

              At least the back panel will be much cheaper than the back panel of apple X if you need a repair :-)
              But i would like to see our Zac from Jerry rigs everything how he cope with this phone and how this surpases the legendary bend test.
