Why is The Verge allowed at these events when all their best people are gone and it's just a bunch of douches now?
wow
Why was is the verge covering tech? Shouldn't they be writing top ten lists or something?
Am i crazy for thinking the new Moto G could steal the show? Imagine the 2016 spec list for the G3. It should be early 2015 flagship at the rate things are going.
Call me a dreamer but hopefully LG switches things up and something we don't know about at IFA. I'd throw money at my screen if they announced either a version of the G3 with the 805 or a version SAMOLED version of the G3. I'm not a fan of the Beat and LOFL at the Stylus so hopefully they show something else.
I've got small hands and can't deal with the Note 4. I've used a Note 2 and that screen size is too much for me. I was hoping for a Note 4 that's 5.2 inches with 78 percent screen. The Note Edge is cool but I'd struggle to handle it. There's too much going on with navigating the device on my end. I'm sure it's a great phone but it's too big for me. Anything above 5.25 inches is too much for me unless the device is ridiculously cheap (the 1+) or has an unusual design (the G3 with 76.4 percent screen).
Is there a website that shows what percent of a device is all screen? Having small hands is is bad when it comes to smartphone buying. You'll see a phone that looks good then realize you can't handle it.
The Z3 compact looks cool but then I looked at the spec sheet. FOH with a Snapdragon 400. I'm overly conscious of bezels now and this phone scares me. Now that my snobby elitist designerd response is out the way, I'll admit that the device is cool. It's about fucking time Sony leveraged Playstation properly. I love the PPI in the Z3.

You're all over the place in the post bro. You need get your product names right because it's pretty confusing right now.

Seriously? They don't even pretend to be unbiased anymore. What are some good tech sites these days?

Agreed. Any multiplatform tech anything sites out there like the verge and techcrunch? Those two are so apple biased I cannot take it anymore. I like the android police but want general tech/multiplatform as well.

Honestly, I hated Engadget for so long in the past, but I find they're way more even handed now-a-days than what they were.

I enjoy Pocketnow a lot. Doesn't really take anything too seriously.
The Verge really went to shit quickly.

Josh left. He was decent and fairly unbiased
I stopped reading the verge a long time ago, but that upcoming Sony mp3 player looks to fit my needs perfectly.

Well, that's Dieter for ya. He's always been like that when it comes to Android.
Edit: Speaking of The Verge, whatever happened to Paul? Does he no longer work there?

No, he was an Apple worshiper, but he did at least run a tight ship. The Verge is a joke now though.

Topolsky? Nah. Maybe in the past, but since like JB he's been mainin Android.

Chrome is much smoother. What other apps?
Truly atrocious. The only thing they've got left is that they take beautiful product photos, but I'm sure they'll find a way to even fuck that up.They get paid for that
I was thinking that too haha

No he wasn't. Verge is suffering since his departure though.

I don't get why you guys are giving them so much shit. "Whatever" is the only reasonable reaction to any new tablet at this point. It's a total non-event.

the more i see, the more i think about it.

He uses a Nexus. Or used, not sure now.
Finally you see the light. Why anyone would get a Note over an Edge, except for price reasons, is beyond me. The Edge looks cool.
Keep reading impressions and things, but even if I had all the money and desire to get another Samsung phone, I see no reason to get the Edge of the standard Note. Maybe it will all reveal itself when it's out, but right now, it doesn't seem practical and it's a little ugly. I'd probably like it more if it went over both sides in terms of looks.
The Note has a bit better specs and a bit larger screen you know.
Note 4 Battery: 3,220 mAh battery
Note Edge Battery: Li-Ion 3,000 mAh battery
Note 4 CPU: Quad-core 2.7 GHz Krait 450 (SM-N910S)
Note Edge CPU: Quad-core 2.5 GHz Krait 450 (Snapdragon)
Note 4 Screen: 5.7 inches
Note Edge (including the edge): 5.6 inches

I didn't really follow any IFA news so far. Samsung has not announced a new Note 8, have they?

Huh, thanks for posting. I thought they were the same phone. That said, those are marginal differences for me and I'd still go for Edge.

I'm guessing I have a fucked battery if it's already gone from 100 to 94 after only 15 minutes? Looking at the battery stats, there doesn't seem to be anything in software that's draining it more than usual, and the display, as usual, is the highest thing on the list.
And my brightness is almost always at 0% except for when outside or in sunlight.
Edit: ^^^ I think the Note Edge is quite ugly. I'd definitely pick the 4 over it. Plus that melted edge looks like the most useless, gimmicky thing ever, but that's typical of most Samsung stuff.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Still really like the two Sony phones from yesterday. Just wish they'd come to the US on a decent time frame.
lol. You must have missed his 30 minute rant about hating iOS on the vergecast.
Maybe it's under NDA or something for some secret stuff i dont know. I can't find any information either.
Yeah, no. He uses android for his main phone.
I think the Z3 will soon. The Z3 Compact probably won't come to a carrier again because they're all fucking obsessed with big phones.
After this IFA, i think i will keep my nexus5 as main phone for a while, note 4 looks nice, but i want to see how does 805 perform in real life (if sony not using it dor z3 was right or wrong). z3 too, but not sure, waterproof is tempting but those bezels.....
let's see what moto has to offer and nexus 6, but with android L around the corner i can only see my n5 haveing at least 6-12 months of healthy life ahead so i can wait for price drops or 64bit smartphones to hit the market.
