June 06, 2025
Fire up yourRebecca Blacksongs and get pumped, because it’s Friday! Along with it being time for partying partying (yeah), it’s also time for Comment Authority, our weekly roundup of the best comments on the site from you, our readers. This week we saw a ton of heartwarming comments directed towards departingAndroid Authorityteam member Joshua Vergara, as well as some not-so-heartwarming comments about the LG G7 ThinQ.
Without any further ado, let’s read some of the best comments of the week!
Goodbye, Josh!
On Friday last week, Joshua Vergara ended his six-year run working withAndroid Authority. Before he left, he took the time to pena nice write-upabout his experiences working here, as well as create a “thank you” video directed to all his fans.
The comments section of the article features nothing but love for Josh and lots of well-wishes for his future endeavors. One commenter by the name ofAlberto Suarezmade it abundantly clear just how much he will miss Josh:
When we mess up, you’re always there to help us out
Our very own Scott Adam Gordon wrote upan amazing pieceabout how theXiaomi Mi 8is the biggest rip-off of the iPhone X we’ve seen yet in the Android world (andthat’s saying something). When you see the Mi 8 and the iPhone X side-by-side, it’s pretty difficult not to agree with everything Scott says.
However, there was one quick thing that Scott mentioned that wasn’t quite right, which was about eighth-year anniversaries. Luckily, one commenter namedJose Jimenezchimed in with a solid and helpful explanation of the error:
We didn’t know that this was an annual event
We post a lot of deals here atAndroid Authority, but the comment sections of those deal posts tend to be pretty barren. That was simply not the case with our recent post about a deal Best Buy is running for theLG G7 ThinQthat knocks$200 off the list price; there were more comments for that one deal article than probably all the deal articles that week.
One comment in particular in that thread from readerbalcobomber25stood out among the rest. Apparently, there’s an annual event that we’ve been missing out on:
Never forget
We’re coming up on the debut of theSamsung Galaxy Note 9(whichlooks a lot like the Galaxy Note 8). But even though we’re almost two generations away from theGalaxy Note 7, we still can’t forget about the unfortunate explosions the oversized battery caused with that device.
That’s why one reader going by the monikerTheNewGuyhad a quip ready when it was announced that the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has beenslightly delayeddue to design concerns:
Hopefully, you all have a great weekend planned! Stay safe and have fun.
