Htc 10

[desura]

Things this device is missing:

1. Changeable slots like LG G5
2. Google MVNO service.

Yeah, it's just another candybar thin metallic phone with snapdragon and etc.

Yeah, the all of ONE expensive module the LG G5 has available in the US is certainly something that's critical /s

What's wrong Chrono, you don't want to play with Friends (tm)?

1. Any other flagships on the market with replacable modules? Hint: No.
2. Only Nexus devices officially work with Fi...

So your points are moot.

LOL what? The S7/S7E got the last monthly security update before Nexuses.

In fact, the security updates are still being pushed to all promised devices. This unfortunately mitigates the need to push OS point updates, but the security issue isn't really on the table any more.

Far from it.

Not sure if serious...

Desura:

It's just a well-built phone with strong performance, great cameras, above-average audio, ample storage options and a well-done customization of Android that's likely to get speedy updates.

In other words, there's precious little you can make in the way of serious complaints. Better battery life, maybe? If the biggest complaints you have are that it doesn't have a modular system (the jury is still out on the wisdom of LG's strategy) or support for a carrier that's currently limited to Nexus phones, HTC is doing pretty well for itself. I just hope it gets the sales to match.

Ouch, USB Type C is really getting a rough ride in phones, cables not being up to spec and now this.

 

[ChronoReverse]

To be fair, this is a original intent vs letter of the law thing.


The original intent of that section of the USB C spec is safety. Because USB tends to use cheap (and technically poor) methods to "ID" cables, mucking with voltages is dangerous. QC violates the letter of this law.


But what QC does is safe because it authenticates with more than just a resister. And because it increases voltages, it reduces the current so any cable that's USB C compliant and capable of 3A is going to be able to handle QC. There's no such thing as a "QC compliant cable" because any USB C cable can handle it.

then what is the min-rated-spec for a USB c cable?

USB PD profile 5 says 20V @ 5A, 100W.... does this mean I can pump 100W through any USB C cable without any issues (temperature, resistance, voltage dip etc)

 

[ChronoReverse]

The absolute minimum a USB C cable can support is 5V 0.5A which is USB 2.0's limit at 2.5W

The cable that came with the Nexus 6P supports 5V 3A for fast charging at 15W

QC3.0 could push 20V safely through the USB 2.0 cable (0.5A) for 10W.

i meant to ask max-rated spec....

 

[ChronoReverse]

5V 0.5A is the max if you're using a USB 2.0 specced USB C connector.

IF you had a PD profile 5 rated cable, then you'll get the 100W you mentioned.
