I am pretty sure the zenwatch 2 both models does not have NFC.

Aaah bummer, thought there was talk that it had the hardware, just wasn't announced etc, not to worry.

Galaxy Gear fit Working

Hi, recently I bought a gear fit not knowing they are only supported on Samsung devices.
After a bit of searching I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718949
It works great on my MT2 L03, its missing some features but that might be fixed later. Also the Fit can be updated to the newest firmware by connecting it to a Samsung device. This will not break compatibility.
I thought the Mate 2 doesn't have NFC? I got the gear 1 and have been putting a lot of thought into getting this phone aswell

I haven't been paying much attention to the watches, but don't they connect to the phone via Bluetooth?
My gear fit is Bluetooth, I didn't know the gear 1 was NFC

Wearables?

Anybody successfully using a wearable device with the AM2?
I'd love to get the Sony SmartWatch 3 because you can use it as a gps/run tracker and music player without needing the phone nearby. However, I don't think it's compatible with the AM2.

Wearables work fine. I have the lg g watch. But because the phone isn't getting updated anymore with Google's 18 month rule the Android wear app won't get updates after April 2015 so I'm guessing it would still work but you wouldn't get the features from newer Android wear releases.

O dont. Think app updates and os updates are cut with the same knife..
I think that as long it's Bt 4.0. And android 4.3 + can be compatible ..
More like I hope hahah

Just got ham2. Only problem I have with the g watch is music controls don't work. Guessing its a jelly bean thing. Got an app for the watch that works.
Using and loving my pebble watch in conjunction with my HAM2. Two beasts when it comes to battery life. The pebble has enhanced my experience with this phone.

that means , A2017U (USA) and A2017 (Chinese) will get Nougat either this month or the next (December).
I can't say that I'm not a little bit disappointed by hearing January 2017. Being advertised as the first Daydream 'ready' phone, I had my hopes up for an upgrade closer to the Daydream-platform launch today..

If you didn't know Daydream requires Nougat and the phone initially ships with Marshmallow, I can see how that could be interpreted. I just knew it meant it will get Nougat eventually. The chipset is what is important. Older Qualcomm devices cannot support Daydream because they cannot meet recommended performance requirements.
Daydream actually required 7.1 version IMO.
And since 7.1 released couple of weeks ego that's mean
It needs at least 2 months preparation until OEM implement a newer version of Android.
So If US or Chinese version receive it within November/December it will be version 7 and that's not good sign/news at all.
So everyone hope ZTE bring 7.1 version(and NOT 7 i repeat) and doesn't matter who will get it first IMO.
It will be HUGE MISTAKE if ZTE not bring 7.1.

Indeed, let's hope they are skipping 7 and are putting all effort in a good working 7.1.
On official german Facebook page they say Daydream will be supported with Nougat update in January.

Can anyone confirm this? I don't recall reading anything saying Daydream required Nougat 7.1.

is it possible that 7 will improve the camera? Or is that down to hardware.

As long as ZTE involved to improve it via software.
But until now all Chinese haven't shown any skills for better software processing as for the camera performance.
Even Huawei lacking against top of the top Korean manufacturers despite being involved Leica.

There is a possibility we will see another camera improvement if zte implement camera2api in the nougat update, however i doubt this because the camera2api has been available since lollipop which has been around for years. On the bright side however they said they might add raw support which you need the camera2api for (unless they want to do a lot of coding themselves). So there is a possibility the camera might get better .

Huawei Mate 20 Pro 1TB backup drive!

Hey guys check this out, seems a wireless charger that had a 1 terabyte backup feature for the Mate 20! Definitely keeping an eye on this....

Yeah would be a nice alternative to cloud backup, will be looking out for its release/availability....
Interesting. Probably a bit too excessive given their phone is 128/256....however with their awkward nano memory cards, I can see why they thought about releasing something like this.
Sadly it's a bit too restrictive for me. Would have to work with any other phone released by Huawei to have or maintain its value in the market.

Anyone figure out if is this drive is compatible with non-Chinese version such as the Canadian M20 version?

Android 12L

Can't wait to see how the Duo does with Android 12L
HIGHLY doubt we'll get 12 on the SD1

I thought it has been announced that MS is already working on it for the Duo?

Yes, the rumor is they are skipping 12 and releasing 12L which makes sense because 12L is more focused on foldable phones.
