He probably wanted good battery life.
No, he wanted to burn himself.

If you want good camera and good battery life then the G4 is the one to pick up.
So, what you're telling me is you haven't used 5.1, or music. You can skip tracks in music on the lock screen since lollipop came out, what you can't do is seek. That and you lost the pretty lock screen music player.

I honestly don't trust cheap samsung stuff. They're never nearly as good as their high end stuff.
I was thinking of getting one because I want a cheap 4:3 tablet
-Pyromaniac-

4:3 tablets are the best so I agree with you on that
I'm sure it's not bad but it's running a pretty low end cpu, so it will be a you get what you pay for kind of situation.

Boxed up my Nexus player and am sending it back to Argos. I'll accept to take a replacement and see if it is just a dodgy one (I doubt it) but if it;s not just my unit it is without a doubt the worst product Google have ever made imo.

It's being revealed on Tuesday! So probably within a month after the reveal.
If you already have a Note 4 though then it really doesn't matter. Just stick with that for a while. But the G4 will likely have a very impressive camera barring any fuckups and it will likely bring the same great battery as the G3.

yeah not sure I get that either. I mean we will see when it's official but maybe a f1.8 camera takes that much more space. Maybe the fingerprint sensor. Who knows.
Out of curiosity why did you get one? I don't know much about it, but what does it really offer that a phone / tablet paired with a chrome cast can't?

Mainly cause I'm a tech nut along with anything nexus I want lol but also because I liked it having its own storage and it seems to be the only device I have that'll actually play Google play movies in HD (nothing else will not even my PC which is a complete rip off)
But the NP seems to have an issue actually playing casted content in a proper resolution and it has distortion on movement. It even happens with content I've downloaded onto my PC and put onto the internal storage so idk what's up with it.

For the G4, is it still rumored to have an 810 or is supposed to have something else?
808, so no real increase in processor over the year before

I honestly don't know how the 808 is supposed to solve the 810's heat problems, the 810 throttles when the big cores run too hot and the 808 has the same number of big cores as the 810. All the 808 does is make the device run slower when not under load with half the number of small cores.
Yeah HTC done fucked up. They had one god damn thing to fix; a 8-12mp camera with OIS and they fucking blew it.

Worse than the Nexus Q?
That's what I said, the Note 4 gets good battery life.
Saiyan-Rox
Member
I never actually knew about the nexus Q until like last year. I liked the look of it and tbh id buy one just for the sake of having at this point lol but yeah I can't really comment on if it's worse
I think it's the reverse actually. 4 small cores and 2 big cores.
At least, that's what would make sense.

g3 had a great battery? Def news to me

really? almost every single review for the phone mentioned it as one of the high points. It has a 3000mah battery.
yep

How on Earth did they get 11 hours of web browsing on the S6.
Nah, it's dual core big. Quad core little for some reason.

makes sense, it supports GTS/HMP
SolidSnakeUS

Even with the throttling of the 810, which is faster, the 810 or the 808?
The 801.
-Pyromaniac-
Member
are you more interested in benchmarks or real world use. You won't notice much of a difference in the latter.
SolidSnakeUS
Member
I'm asking which to go for for new phones that isn't an S6.
Unknown Soldier
Member
Okay that makes more sense.
I bet since the 808 probably doesn't throttle itself to death like the 810 in big cores mode, it will actually outperform the 810 in loaded scenarios like games.
It might be a pick your poison type scenario. The 810 might get throttled on phones with 1080p screens. The 808 might not get throttled on the G4, but the screen is 1440p so it still might be pressed to push all those pixels.

just got thru watching the Samsung Galaxy S6 /S6 Edge Show featuring Sprint, guest starring T-Mobile and AT&T, sponsored by the NBA Playoffs

if you don't want to wait long -> G4.
If you're willing to wait then check out the moto x 2015, nexus 2015, oneplus 2, Note 5.
lolol

Here you go
By this time, I think my Nexus 4 would be dead lol
Good job

My phone is up in July.
-Pyromaniac-

by then you'll have a good idea of the G4, the OnePlus2, and the moto x 2015 might even leak by then. Definitely the former 2 though.
so you'll be good.

lollipop fucking something up probably. Any time a new version of android comes out something always gets weird. 4.4 killed my nexus 5s battery and made it worse than it already was. Factory reset made it go back to normal-bad. Try that for you. If that doesn't resolve it then wait for 5.1 I guess.

just noticed that in this Kia commercial, Lebron has TWO Note 4s.
