I'd take the small bezels and speaker on the back vs HTC's extra black bar and Boomsound speakers. Speakers on a phone aren't that important to me.

I don't mind the design if it's all real leather but it looks like they will have multiple models? Don't like that. Pick a design unless you're making a cheaper phone.

How do you check screen on time on the S6? There's no "screen" category in the battery setting.

No idea why they keep calling it the P1 when the code says G4 but maybe it's a placeholder.
Also, they put a 3000mah battery in it. Bless them. Now make a smaller nexus with the same battery LG. Much appreciated.

It seems like many of the specs are just the G3 specs, maybe because they'll be similar? The video page links to a bunch of G3 videos and even fan speculation videos. What a weird site.
the 28th can't come soon enough.

Should be interesting.
Also, for lulz, here are the latest US market share numbers. Nothing really interesting but decent for LG I guess:

That .1 decrease for Apple. The age of Apple is done!Should be interesting.

100% over with.
Probably because they've been buying a lot of their shares back.

I miss HTC's battery screen, it showed you so much more detail.

It just showed up. I guess it has to be at at least 2% to show up.

i'm just playing, it's okay.
I dunno if anyone really uses SnapChat regularly here, But I've noticed an issue in opening up received ones and stories. At least, I'll try to open it. Only for the Snap to abruptly close and the timer to continue. Anyone else experience this shit?
The snapchat story issue I'm having is sorta similar, but it shows some (not all) video in almost a stop motion way, no audio, and just frames of the video, but only showing like every 5th frame. I'm sure they'll patch it next week.
What REALLY grinds my gears, though, is that the notifications from Samsung's email program aren't actionable...i.e. you can't delete an email from their notifications.
Well deserved for Apple, they're doing all the little things right.

Why do people keep asking if it's the AT&T version when someone can't find something? Does AT&T remove or change functionality?
Interesting how different the world is inside the bubble.
Amazing. Wow.

Any good apps for downloading QHD wallpapers? Every one I try looks stretched out because of my phone's resolution.

That G4 looks a lot like a Nexus 5. Big bottom bezel and all. The leather back looks terrible, though, with that seam down the middle. At least they're kinda going the Moto Maker route though.
Those photos look really damn good.

My mom bought an s6 today. Photo quality is unreal but can't get over the battery loss that panel must bring. Not to mention the standby drain being much worse than my KitKat moto x. Hopefully Sammy releases 5.1 soon.

Time to invest in one of these.
I bought THIS S6 Caseology case. it looks good but the sides are still pretty slippery. Gonna get something else eventually.
That's why you don't use that app

I really like the Caseology and Spigen cases.

Week of the 20th is the new rumor. Google is really showing their true colors this year. They have some serious issues in android dev management.

I just hate the lack of transparency. At least when one plus delayed oxygen os they explained exactly what was talking so long and tried to offer frequent updates. I'd like to know what's going on with some hardware not getting it yet. What's the issue, what's the tentative timeline.
I don't even know what their priorities are anymore.

This has been a really bad year for android. I really wish the media would start calling them out for it. I'd bitch more with you but then some of the other posters on here will just start flaming me as usual.

Google has never spoken about Android updates though. The presumed timeframe is and has always been "When It's Done." If you don't like this, stop using stock Android.

Note 4 is beast. Laying in bed and using multitasking to split-screen a calculator and online homework felt surprisingly relaxing. I should do more homework like that.
This is the one that I have. They have a regular S6 version as well.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Lollipop is great and while a slight performance downgrade, I'll take it because the OS itself is so much nicer to use. Also, yeah, Google screwed over Nexus users this year. They should do a public beta like Apple.

You're welcome!
I might need a case for my Z3 for this reason - it just fell of the arm of my sofa onto my wooden floor again. Leather sofa too, so not slippery at all.
Is there a good, minimal case - ideally transparent - that will at least stop it being so slippery but not make it look horrible (I'm a fan of naked usually, but his phone is nexus 4 levels of slippery)
It would need to work with the magnetic charging dock too
The specs from that site seem to just be a copy paste of the G3 specs. There's a lot of unknowns still, we can't know for sure until the proper announcement/more leaks.

Right. Any counter argument is already declared invalid, because it will be a flame.
Couple of things:
1) It's only April, we haven't had I/O yet
2) We've only seen one version of Android released, which essentially fixed most of the issues in 5.0 (although it as appears there is still a memory leak, it's far less of a problem)
3) Samsung has probably released the best Android phablet ever made and phone.
Now if you want to talk about last year...
N9 a big let down
N6 ditched the discount price
5.0 is gorgeous, but suffered from bad memory leaks.
I think it's way too early to say it's a bad year for Android when we're barely a few months in. And in context, WP is still doing nothing and iOS hasn't really pushed the envelope.
