You're not crazy, those bezels are ridiculous.
Has bothered me since the announcement. I've never forgiven them for it.
THC gonna HTC. Sony is another one that gets a free pass for their extreme Bezels, ridiculous. Can't wait for LGesus to save us next year with the Gesus4, show theses amateurs how it's done.
In other news, like LG, Samsung wants everyone to move to South Korea.
Seems Qualcomm will deliver on those 810s after all. Should be an interesting first half.

Yes M8 bezels are why the One M7's form factor is superior.

LG isn't saving you from anything.
They're saving people form running to their microUSB, to be fair.

Ha, LGesus. I like that. Also, glad to hear that the 810 being tested on real devices now. My decision to wait a little longer seems to be paying off.
Not that I can tell.

my post from many pages ago:
Also if I see the triple chin/bottom bezel then it's an automatic major fail:
Nope. In fact most articles concerning 6.0.xx a lot of the comments are asking for 60fps vid support.

So is the Xperia Z3, Note 4, OnePlus, HTC One M8 etc.
Sharp's Aquos Crystal phone would like a word with you.

HTC shouldn't have dropped the hardware keys.
No. They can't just magically shorten their hardware cycle by 4-6 months. And then there's the 810 delays due to poor yield. If anything, we could see OEMs that typically release earlier in the year releasing later this year. Which I wouldn't mind at all personally.
It would be too good for me. I would be ok on delaying my smartphone purchase a few months, but a year is too much.
At this point, I think it's best for me to wait on 2015 flagships that use the 805 over the 810. Overheating issues are still there in the 810. It kind of sucks that we'll have to wait until 2016 to have a 64 bit SOC on the market that's optimized for Android smartphones.
Does anyone have info on the 805's performance with 1080p devices? We've seen it on the LTE-A QHD displays. However, a 720p/1080p device with 2900+ battery should beast with an S805.
We'll see how this pans out.

I'm afraid the 1080p flag-ship has sailed. 2015 is gonna looked like this:
Flagships: QHD
Sub-Flagships: 1080p
Low end/entry level: 720p
I also find it absolutely hilarious that apple had a chip that was comfortably capable of pushing QHD screens sitting in a sub 720p phone since last year while android OEMs are shipping QHD phones with 801s. Apple 2nd go at 20nm come september is gonna be a thing of beauty.

I wonder if it'll be good enough for me to switch back from Messenger. I like the clean simplicity of it, and last I checked Hangouts was still partly Holo. Hopefully they didn't only revamp look.
The Z4 is rumoured to be 1440p, though! 5.2" screen and 805 Snap, by the way. I'm with you on the battery life, I hope most flagships focus on that.
This better be more than what Android Police uncovered.
Coincidentally, here I am tonight uninstalling the Hangouts extension to try out the Hangouts app again on my Windows PC. Both have annoying design flaws.
I know ;_;
If Sony can't keep the battery life at least on par with the Z3, I don't think they should even bother with 1440p imo. Should be the last thing on their list of priorities.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Haha, yeah. All this fanfare for a mediocre update. Give me a break, Hangouts team.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
To be fair Qualcomm came out after all the rumors and said 810 on schedule.
YMMV on who to believe, but that does need to be said.

Hangouts team hasn't said shit. It's all you guys hyping up nothing.

But the sharp looks ugly as sin. Also front speakers > small bezels.

I'm gonna laugh if it is only what AP leaked.
They diappointed.

Stickers? Really? That's the best you could come up with you twits? How about material design, swipeable fucking chats and navdrawers?
If it wasn't for some of my androidgraf brethren, I'd have given a huge fuck you to hangouts a long time ago.
I've been thinking about it a lot if I'm honest. At this point I feel like I just broke up with my girlfriend, Google, and everything I used to find cute and endearing I'm now finding illogical and enraging.
So much truth.
16GB and 64GB models are in stock.

Scott has taste.
I always wondered, if the Oneplus One has a defect, breaks etc., do you need an invite for the tech support too?
You can select "On Device" from the slide-in menu. Can't remember if that sticks through app reload, though.
I used to use something called QuickPic which was good. No reason that I don't use it anymore, but that might do what you want.
Thanks Pyro, I got the moto g lte for 145. I know it's not as nice as the 2014 one but I wanted LTE haha.
**shrug**
I just told someone a few days ago that I wish G+ had stickers like FB Messenger. I hate that I like them, but I use them all the time.
