Droid turbo for a smaller and uglier phone. Nexus 6 for a larger not-ugly phone.

They're both grade A+ phones, so either way...



Yep

But dat ballistic nylon doe.

 

[The Faceless Master]

What was the launch deal? And yes, that price is on contract. I've waited this long, i'll keep waiting.

$200 trade-in on old device. i bought the second cheapest qualifying device available (first cheapest sold out), net gain of $180

So good.

As I posted in the S6 review thread, here's another glowing review of the S6:

You can't sort the app drawer alphabetically?

DOA.

Thats not bad. Oh well, the wait is on.

 

[Wreav]

That nylon can come unraveled. Not worth a 2 year investment IMO.

Google Now Launcher going on it instantly (if I get it)

I'm gonna get it

You can. It's just a bunch of stock purists pissing the bed.

edit: Damn, I read the sentence wrong. Horrifying.

 

[The Faceless Master]

the article clearly states that you can't.

Nah that's nothing to be concerned about.

 

[Wreav]

Nah that's nothing to be concerned about.

Given that 2 separate reviews I read mentioned it, during review periods of under a month...I wouldn't bank on it lasting all that long if used in lieu of a case.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Dayum. Did Apple rat you out?

What's weird is this is not even the new iOS notes it's similar to. It's years ago.

Seriously, where's 5.1 on Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013). Or even on the Nexus 9.

What are you doing, Google?

I have a Nexus 6 and it's p good.

What are my best options for off contract phones? Preferably under 200.

I know there's the Moto G. Anything else?

Used Nexus 4 or 5. Go for it. I'd take one of those over a Moto G.

 

[Jzero]

If you want something new Moto G, if you don't mind used Nexus 5 or if you get lucky a newer phone. Don't get the Nexus 4 though.

Hey everyone,

I'm a new member to your ranks. I've always had iPhones but I'm done with contracts so I got a Cricket Moto E 2nd gen. I'm really digging it so far. I like how connected everything is.

Welcome to a land of bitterness and discontent. Petty arguments are to your right and chocolate covered brand loyalty is to your left. Enjoy your stay and don't forget to grab your complimentary fragmentation by the info desk.

Hey! The moto e is a good intro to Android phone, in my opinion.

Lol, this should be in the OP.

 

[mrklaw]

Lol I was thinking to go from a nexus 4 to a moto G for the better camera and larger screen. Probably slower thouh, and less ram so probably won't

 

[mrklaw]

Is there a reason why I don't get my upcoming calendar events on the lock screen? Running lollipop on a nexus 4. They pop up when I get a notification, but I like having them there at a glance, not just 15 minutes before a meeting.

 

[Milpool]

Woke up this morning and my Nexus 9 is stuck in a boot loop, it was working fine last night.

Never unlocked/rooted. Formatting cache did nothing but wiping the system sorted it out, the formatting data step took half a second when it usually takes minutes which was a bit weird.

 

[Bboy AJ]

That's a bad move. You'd only do that if you have new phone syndrome.

 

[Aticos]

It's a pretty damn great phone. I barely have any complaints since I've owned it. If I was to complain about anything, it would be that the auto rotate gets stuck sometimes and I have to turn the phone off and on to get it back to recalibrate to go back to portrait mode. If battery life stays the same with Lollipop, I will be be very happy. The phone is a beast, never lags, and is at a good size.

If I wanted to perfect it, I would make it a have a 5 inch size with the same screen to body ratio, 1080P screen, have a metal design as opposed to glass on the back, sllim it by 1mm, and have a slight battery bump due to the bigger body size.

Try turning off the smart screen rotation and it should be fine.

 

[mrklaw]

That's a bad move. You'd only do that if you have new phone syndrome.

My nexus just feels a bit janky these days, and won't get through a whole day on the battery either.

Nexus 4? Convert it to Cyanogen for a while and you'll get an extra few months out of it.

iirc benchmark wise the G runs quicker than the 4, as the 4 can throttle thermally. Battery should be a lot better too. You'll suffer only really on the RAM front vs the N4.

yeah it gets hot pretty quickly doing almost anything.

At this point, it could be the actual battery too.

It's actually pretty cheap and easy to replace though

[Shiggy]

Just got the Moto G after my S3 died. For 110 Euros definitely a great deal. Battery life is significantly better than on my S3 and everything runs much smoother without the Samsung bloatware despite also only having 1GB of RAM. Haven't run into any issues yet despite missing a few features (mute mode but that's due to lollipop). Love that it's dual sim.

What I learnt is definitely to never buy a Samsung phone again. My S3 was more ergonomic though. It was much easier to type with just one hand.

When looking for an Android phone in the 100 Euro range, the Moto G probably is the best right now.

Yeah, for a "non-user replaceable" the Nexus 4 wasn't too hard to get open when I had to clean the inside of the screen for dust. Still, loved and hated that phone.

Edit False advertising response with false Hasney.

 

[Vanillalite]

Can see it be tempting for a few people, especially if they don't need a hot new phone.

False advertising. I was just browsing eBay Daily Deals and saw it. When you click on it though hidden bellow they say it isn't the G3 but rather the G3 stylus.

Trying to fuck with me via the headline listing.

 

[Shiggy]

Is anyone using the Nokia Z Launcher here? I think it's working pretty well and the widgets also look nice. Serves my needs.

 

[DrFunk]

The Z4 is gonna have a QHD screen, via panel leak

 

[Vanillalite]

M9 gonna be the only 1080p screen left and still have shit battery life and over heat.

Also fuck Google. I'm gonna say that everyday till they patch shit.

 

[Nightengale]

Battery life, pls don't suffer.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Heh another reply from moto about the sounds on my N6

"I am happy to inform you that this is not a fault.
The phone will play sounds soft and then build up the volume. This goes for notifications as well.
I understand that this can be anoying or not what you are looking for but this is how to phone works.

If the speaker is activated the volume will play on loud. But as you said the first time it will build up."

Why implement a feature like that that distorts sounds >< and it only distorts one notification sound too. Gah!

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

3800 mAh battery incoming.

I love how they say they are happy to inform you of the "feature". No you're not you liar.
