They can top it by having a wrist band that isn't atrocious.
Apparently they're releasing a similar back for the note 4 too. Apple ain't got shit on this

God it's ugly. Also, is this another new wearable from Samsung already?

Edit: Never mind, apparently it's the one they announced recently with an ugly ass strap.

This dude is pretty stoked about it.

Dear god that's hideous.

Can't wait for the new phone announcements this week, I'm hoping that the new moto x will win me over and that they don't fuck up the pricing like last time.
Does anyone know what Google Voice Dialer is and why it would keep randomly opening when the I'm using headphones?
I obviously googled it and most of the suggestions are telling me to disable the app but I don't have anything on my phone called voice dialer. Is it part of something else I can disable?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook

Honestly not bad for roughly $300 US. 1080p, Sharp LCD + 8 core MediaTech + 4 core PowerVR + 20 MP Sony Camera.

You can check your Google Voice settings and make sure it is set to never be used for any numbers.

Looks like an iPhone running Android with a custom launcher and icon set. Meh.
I like the icons, though.

Fleksy has a pretty big space bar with the original/small option.

Both the regular and compact versions of the Sony Z3 look nice. To bad Sony gives no shit about NA though and we might get something 6 months later.

Sony needs a day 1 NA release badly. It could seriously help them in the long run. Especially if they can put it on all 4 major carriers in the USA and all the major ones in Canada.

Would you buy it?

Probably yeah. Would be way better than my current GS4.
Hey guys. Selling my Nexus 7 tablet in the Buy/Sell/Trade thread. Looking for $125. Comes with slick case and can ship it via Fed-ex 2-Day shipping. PM me. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=128165165&postcount=18490

And then 6 months later they will complain about the new Sony flagship and not getting a software update on their current phone.

Potential is there yes. I'd likely buy it before I'd buy a Samsung, LG, or HTC. Moto/Nexus are a wild card cause of price.

Getting the Sony Xperia Z camera is indeed impressive. Too bad about lack of sd card slot. So far this and the Oppo Find 7 are my favorite China phones.

Everything looked really good until I read MediaTek. They're releasing a beefed up device with a trash processor. Not to mention that they close source everything. I realize this means nothing to the average consumer, but to people like you and I, they're really cheaping out on the processor to keep the price point low.
How does the Note 4 work? Magic my friend. How will this work? F'ning Magic.

So Android GAF, I have some pictures that I edited with Photo app (Google?) When I went to send it via message, it turn the pictures into a pixilated mess. Any of you know what I am doing wrong?
What messaging app? Hangouts?
antiquegamer
Member
Just the phone MMS app. I am on Oneplus with the Kit-kat update but this was the first time I used the editor. Pictures that were not manipulate seem fine when send.

Google doesn't really support the messenger app any longer. Try hangouts
Maybe they're getting compressed after editing? I dunno sorry man, try a different editor? There are many

Reading some more of the articles on companies interested in buying Cyanogenmod, and it's crazy how much some of these bloggers, journalists, etc. don't know about Android still, and the amount of misinformation I'm seeing.
That aside, do you guys think they will sell to one of these big companies? Currently consumer CM (what's shipping on phones like the 1+) is Google certified or whatever. I know Android itself is free, but does Google get paid for their apps and services? I can't imagine any competitor wanting to be associated with Google.
I also can't see a competitor leaving CM looking as is. CM, like the vast majority of custom ROMs, keep the stock Android look and feel that Google pushes. I can't imagine a hypothetical, CM acquiring competitor would want to leave it looking and feeling the same as the Android Google sells. Even if you leave out all the Google stuff and fork Android, you'd have to drastically change its aesthetics if you didn't want people to associate it with Android (Kindle Fires, Nokia X).
So if MS, Amazon or some other company buys CM, what do you guys think will happen?

Closed source sucks, but the proc doesn't. Read up on the actual benchmarks vs just glossing over the media tech name.
Man I really can't wait to see the upcoming smart watches.
The droid brand name for Moto could be marketed like the galaxy line.
It sells to older customers on Verizon.

I would just get the N5 over this.. or a used S4, and I don't think I've ever recommended the N5 over anything that came out after it.
I don't. Verizon can suck (insert clever slag here) for all I care. Droid feels like an early 2000s branding job.

I'm sick and tired of these gold phones. Gold is so ugly. STOP PLEASE!!!!
Gold phones sell in Asian markets.

Nah. That thing is ugly too. It's just less ugly than other gold phones.

Camera on this would shit all over the N5 camera to hell and back. That's the key differentatior for a phone in this price bracket.
You're paying only $300 and still getting that 20MP Sony sensor.
It's what gives me hope for the new Nexus phone to not have to skimp camera wise.
