I don't see the point. Flagships this year suck.
Unless you bought a Zenfone 2

I'm very curious to see what the battery is like

Thought the Moto X was supposed to be pretty good? Anything bad came out about it?
I am. I miss my S-Pen from my Note 3 and the new features look pretty nifty.

Battery will probably suck and it doesn't have a fingerprint scanner. Also no ois or laser focus for camera.

At least it has NFC.
Personally never had issues with 1GB of RAM. I never really keep more than 6 tabs open at a time and everything is smooth as butter. Can't say the same with my old S6 Edge / M7 though which has triple that. But I don't think the ram was the issue anyway. Probably picking up a 5-2 as a backup later so we'll see how everything runs with 4GB of ram and stock Android.

DisplayMate stating the new displays in the Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Plus improve upon the Note 4 and even the Galaxy S6 with more power effiency and other features. The display is 21% more power efficient than the display in the Note 4, which is likely why the battery life has been reported to be better than the Note 4 despite the smaller battery.

Xiaomi MI5+ will probably take that crown.
My point is owning something doesn't necessarily make you a fan of that item. Especially when you calling owning something keeping it for a short period of time and returning or flipping.

I love it when apps get an update to "fix bugs" and suddenly want a permission to access the device id and call information with that update.

It's hard being one of the few in this thread who puts his money where his mouth is. Usually people blab about a product for months but when it releases, the closest they get is scalping the product, if they even buy it in the first place.

I still don't get why you don't buy an iPad. Android tablets are for people who can't afford an iPad. Literally.
I'm glad we have you here to redefine ownership for us.

i know. life is tough being a shot caller.
I find that unlikely. Tablet tech and tablet requirements don't move very fast. Hell if it wasn't for games I'd still be rocking a iPad3. games is pretty much the only thing I use a tablet for that pushes it at all.
Of course I feel somewhat similar about phones, actually moreso, which is why I'm still using a Nexus 4.

It'll be fine.
The only reason the N9 sucks is the same reason the 2 gig LG G3 sucks. 2 gigs of RAM blows ass for QHD screens especially when you have just one unified RAM pool for everything on Android.

Because I don't want iOS. I had an iPad before anyone on gaf had one. Check the OG iPad release thread and see who posted pics first.
Not too long ago somewhere here said that Android-GAF is very cuntly.
The years of disappointment and failure by El Goog have left us hard and cold.

Who cares when you bought it. That's a stupid reason. Not only was the OG iPad a terrible waste of money (I have one, it's running the uniqlo calendar 24/7), but your Android tablet experience doesn't sound much better than that. If you base your opinion on a 2010 device with 256 MB of RAM, then I don't know what to say. If you don't, then why bring it up? At least be creative and pretend to use IRC, like it's 1999.
looks nice

That's not what I based my opinion on. I based my opinion on me knowing what I want and being able to afford whatever I want and it isn't ios.
lol u mad hahaha
This thread would be so much more pleasant if y'all just took a break from the recycled hardware rumors and recriminations once in a while. Android is software, right!? Y'all actually use these devices to do stuff, I presume? What do you think of the new software features Samsung demoed** for the Note 5? What cool apps or games have you tried recently?
**asking about the features not giving an opportunity to complain about Touchwiz
How about y'all try not talking about hardware for a week... or just the next 24 hours?

So I sold one of my two Nexus 6 that I bought off contract, in preparation for the new Moto X and Nexii. Was thinking about which to go with, but they all seem so close to each. More than likely I'll just pick all three up along with the N6 I just sold (probably white 64GB this time) and sim swap depending on my mood and day.

I will be picking it up this Friday.
Nothing if you like black bars while watching media.

I will be buying too. I'm not in rush and I'm not traveling any time within the month. Also, Newegg is already selling this cheaper than retail right now BTW. Check slickdeals

The bloat remains.
what would be the cheapest way to get mobile wifi for my kids ipads when travelling? Assume I don't have enough data on my phone to tether it. It would only be on/off probably during summer and christmas holidays, so I'd be looking for Pay as you go data, not a contract. So assume I have a PAYG data sim available
1) mobile wifi/mifi thingy
2) cheap 4G android phone
3) Just switch the SIM into my phone and set up call forwarding in case anyone tries to call my normal number.

The cheapest would just be to tether on your phone, but maybe a straight talk mobile hot spot?
