So Z4 announced. Another minimal update with likely a worse battery life.

Snapdragon 810, uh oh.

Well that's disappointing. I guess the other leak with the new design is either fake, the Z5, or something other Xperia entirely.
Many thanks to you both!
Going for the moto G 1st gen then. I never use my camera anyway.
haha
actually , no
it been 2 weeks , and the phone doesn't heat to that level
even when the degree is 42c ( i play too much on it ) the battery don't drain that much

You can just dunk it in water when it gets hot then.
The Z3.1 looks like good old Sony, I mean I like my Z3, but nobody is buying them, they are not as available as they should be, but then they will still moan about low sales. Clearly something is wrong then if nobody buys your phones that all look the same! And no it wont help releasing a thinner new version each 6 months. Nobody will go and say "ooh its 0.2mm thinner now time to buybuybuy" or whatever...
As an Sony employee I would be pissed and scared, another batch of cutting jobs is probably incoming for another Sony flop.
Z4 makes me very happy I bought a Z3. Barely any change other than CPU - similar to the point of why bother spending money to make it 0.4mm thinner? Just ship it in the same chassis and save some money.
Wonder if they ditched the magnetic charger? That desk charger looks to use the now-open USB port on the bottom.

Haha.introducing ,, the Z series for the next 3 years ( if the mobile branch doesn't close )
i really don't get it , why reduce the battery ?
But to be precise its two years, Z4 and 5 this, 6 and 7 next.
at least the m9 you can see the difference in the back

G4 is near future
After that is still Moto X, Oneplus 2, nexus 2015, Note 5. Then I think we're done? Unless I'm forgetting something. I am seriously considering supporting LG for possibly being the only one to put a 3000mah battery in their phone lol. Guess I'll see the rest.

I'm not sure I get the Z4. Sony just randomly announces it (though I would too if it sucked). It's just a Japanese announcement? This is what they have for the year? They're either completely out of money or they have another flagship for the rest of the world coming later.
And then they wonder why their mobile division is going outa bidness.

Isn't that One plus event thing today?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Do we know what the M9 update is?
Yeah, it's not the 'true flagship'
-----------------------------------------------
OnePlus 'announcement'
received an Ascend G7, i will use as a secondary phone. Really destroys Moto G as a budget device around 150 - 200€, awesome battery life and 2GB of ram, LTE. Once you undestand the confusing EMUI UI , and replace its launcher, currently using HTC's Blinkfeed launcher, it is really serviceable: quite fast, doesn't lag very much, takes good photos
When it receives lollipop this fall it could also improve performance a bit if its 64bit SoC took avantadge of 64bit support on Android 5.X (it won't but....)
Also feels quite premium with its metal finish and slim design and it even comes with a case

I figured Oneplus would do away with invites by the time oneplus 2 comes out. Though it seems they'll still be doing it when the OP2 firs tlaunches. I guess now we wait for the Q3 phones after LG.

I wonder what Sony will name their actual flagship later this year. No way they call it the Z5 and shit on Z4 buyers do they? lol.

They're already shitting on Z4 buyers.

This year just continues to disappoint.

I wouldn't say that completely. Samsung kilt it and LG looks like they will likely kill it overall. M9 disappointed.
Seems like this Z4 isn't really the flagship of the year for Sony. So there's still about 5 big phones left to go. Flagship wise assuming LG doesn't do something super weird we will be 2 for 3 in goodness.
I'm saving the real disappointment for motorola/nexus

Time to download 5.1 factory image for N6 and flash that shit
I assume no big issues with 5.1?

It's so much nicer and faster.
Memory bug still persists, but you'll just need to reboot every few days rather than 1 to stop the UI redrawing itself.

I've been a bit out of the loop on phone stuff.
Have there been any rumblings on the next Nexus devices? Or word on if there are even going to be any further Nexus devices?

First the rumour was that Huawei was making it. Then it was LG. Then it was both of them.
LG seems like the safe bet. That's all so far, which is good news because it means one is coming. Good nexus leaks don't usually come until later.

I think I'm more disappointed that the Z4 doesn't have any indication of coming to the states around the same time as Japan.
Nice little update. That combined with the LG Watch Urbane (unless the 360 v2 impresses) might push me over the edge.

I do hate the way Google announce updates that arent out for a few weeks....grrrr
Is there a new moto rumoured for this year? I scratched the screen on my current one and getting it fixed is near impossible so might spring for a new one.
Yeah, the rumours flying about are all good too. Both switching to Snapdragon and getting rid of the silly little black bit. Also Moto Maker customs.
EDIT: Just found out that they added Moto Maker to the V1s too.

Even if it did, it'll be a rebranded Z3 for Verizon.

Nice the black bar doesn't annoy me as much as I thought it would but the processors lag is annoying. The first version of android wear was especially really bad.
Yeah moto maker for the 360 was out from last year I think not much options on it afaik

They'll somehow figure out a way to put it into a Z1 body at this point...

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Moto should bring back the Razr lineup and have it look like the GS6E. Call it the Razr's Edge.
Based Pun GAF!
Think that TI chip was the cause of the battery life concerns as well.
The Urbane is going to be hard to beat for me though. It's looking great.
