Horrible. You have my condolences.
This is the rumored date for the Z4 launch. Watch this announcement consist of a fitness band, in my opinion.

I've been spending a lot of time with one. My 2013 Moto X has better battery life. No doubt about it.
The s6 drinks battery when this screen is on and the standby sucks. Hopefully 5.1 will help. Banking on vr instead of a great battery was a horrible decision.

I dunno, I wish it wasn't still so long until the Note 5
All I can think about is how much I want the Note 5 ;_;
Everybody is always hopeful the next version of Android will help their battery life. It never happens.

5.1 helped the nexus devices a bit but yes not usually enough to make a big difference.

yep, that's 2 - 1
2 - 0 really, we didn't even consider Ars to be legit until Ron Amadeo joined, GSMArena Aand AnandTech were the torch bearers, them and Aaron Baker from PhoneDog.
i mean, unless you want to side with this guy...

Anyone else notice that chrome seems to crash a lot more after the lollipop update?
-Pyromaniac-

fixed for accuracy
Which Lollipop update exactly? Stable chrome or beta?

Agreed. There were plenty of opportunities to make an actual comical pun and all fell flat.

4.4.4 is much smoother than 5.0.2 IMO.
4.4.4 > 5.1 is a much better upgrade path.
We need to know what phone you have.

The time in between phone announcements sucks. The upside is with all these new sony rumours we now have another entrant to get hyped for late in the year with the oneplus2nexus2015motoxXperia.
Q3 is gonna be pretty crazy. Or underwhelming. Who knows. Cautiously optimistic.

hrm, seems to be missing a mention of the Apple 6S
Xperia Z3
-Pyromaniac-

It's not exciting though and I don't mean that in a bad way. I know apple will deliver a good phone. It will be like the 6 but better in every single way lol. When there's no chance of crash and burn (like the M9) it loses excitement!
But yeah that's a big one too.

If your issues are performance/battery life/bug related then do a factory reset first.
If you just don't like lollipop in general well then go to the z3 xda forum to find a way to get back to kitkat (Although I feel its silly to roll back because its inevitable you will end up with lollipop or the next version on your next phone anyway).

All of those potential entrants pale in the shadow of the Note 5
-Pyromaniac-
Member
I was going to say I didn't mention that for the same reason I didn't mention the iphone 6S but you know what, the Note 5 is kind of unpredictable at the moment. Will they go all glass and whatnot. Or just go note 4 but better.
So yeah throw that into the list even though I'll never consider it.

LG G4 has a chance to give it a run for its money. Potentially better camera, definitely better battery, tbh (real) leather > glass, sd card support, etc...lack of fingerprint would be a shame though since samsung finally got that down pat.
I was just kidding, everyone wants different things out of phones. For me personally the GS6 is damn near perfect for what I want from a phone (better battery life and it would be perfect). G4 sounds good from what I've read/seen about it, hopefully they don't go with the S810.
-Pyromaniac-

it continues to be the thing that frustrates me about the android ecosystem. So few lack the total package. Want the better battery then you go G4, but then you don't get the fingerprint/smaller form factor of the S6. Always have to chooooooose.
Really wish samsung didn't go so thin. Also I think the leaks point to a S808 for the G4. Guess we will find out. Not that I plan to get that either.
Yeah, there's always a downside. I too would have loved the GS6 to be a tad bit thicker with a larger capacity battery. I personally hate on screen buttons, so there isn't very many Android phones that I can really look at (tried on screen button phones but I always go back). It also doesn't help that Qualcomm fucked up the 810 this year, marring many of the big handsets that will make it to market this year.

I'm the opposite. I kind of prefer the on screen buttons. the OPO was interesting that it gave you the choice.
The Moto X was close for me last year so I have high hopes. Oneplus2 and nexus are wildcards. Xperia is the longshot. Interesting back half though.
OPO is my current phone, I love the fact that it gives you a choice. I'm really interested in seeing what Oneplus do with the Two even though I'm getting the GS6 (hopefully) soon, will be interesting to see what other OEM's do too. I hope all of them put in nice fingerprint scanners in and Google sorts out mobile payment software this I/O so the whole world can move into using your phone for payments.
-Pyromaniac-

I too am interested in the OP2 with all the interesting rumours of going more premium and fingerprint scanner and all that. Time will tell. I don't think this April 20th event is it though.
Also Google will probably push payment hard at I/O this year which will make me surprised if the next nexus doesn't have a scanner. But this IS google.
