The new Sony SLRs and camcorders have some very impressive focusing software, so hopefully that will make it though to the phone line.

Yea maybe then can finally upgrade their Gingerbread esque skin.
Yeah, I was gutted it wasn't coming out in the first half of the year since my Galaxy S4 was basically dead. Happy with the N6, but I wouldn't have minded some real competition for my money.
Or, even better, follow up on their promise to release officially supported stock ROMs.

Anecdotally, a lot of people seem to have bailed on the Galaxy line for a Moto X or One M8 last year. Hope that trend continues or Samsung steps their game up.

Mobile UI's in general have gotten boring.
That being said what I need is for things to work well and allow me to access my apps and content that I need without any bugs or hassle.
iOS and Android both do this so I'm not mad.
It's all good, we gettin that Gryzzle UI in 3 years

Sony just dropped a new phone dubbed the Xperia E4.
They are touting 2 day battery life.

The article says it ships with 5.0, but the skin in the video looks like the old one. Huh.

I didn't know there was a new thread. Don't they put this stuff in OT for a couple of days 
S6 looks like a disaster waiting to happen. Didn't S5 do terribly as well?

It sold worse than the S4, but still the best selling Android phone. I think anyone on the galaxy S line isn't looking for the latest and greatest phone every year, so in the climate of 24 month contracts, the S6 will really show if it's a blip or if the Galaxy S line is slipping.

On sensor PDAF, so one hopes it focuses well.

Same. Never pulling it out in an elevator again. They usually have terrible signal anyway.
I think it's more brand recognition than anything. Most people won't give it a second thought. Just like iPads/iPhones.
"Oh I need a new tablet"
*purchases latest iPad in 10 seconds flat*
No second thought.
In reality, most people see the choice of a new phone as iPhone or Galaxy. That's what's in the commercials and what their friends have so that's what they will continue to buy.
Another phone that beat the AT&T branded Moto X to getting lollipop.
I was actually putting the phone back into my pocket as the door opened and it slipped. I'll probably just get another G3. They're like $300 new on craigslist anyway.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Haha, damn!!
Wow that sucks, it's the one thing I'm always scared of. That, or dropping my phone/camera if I'm at the top of a tower or something.

everytime I walk over a sewer and I'm holding a phone or keys or anything that could slip through my heart skips a beat.

Everytime I take one of these precipitous photos, I imagine myself dropping the phone.

I can't believe AT&T's G3 gets Lollipop before the Moto X. Think about that for a sec.
It is crazy. But I do recall a Moto engineer speaking out saying they were fixing some of Google's fuck-ups. Which sucks because it looks like 5.1 does the same thing lol

Releasing anything prior to 5.1 is just stupid at this point. 5.0 sucks.

Oh neat. I read Xposed wasn't available and I stopped the upgrade process cuz of it. I can't wait!
Unless LG, like Motorola fixed some of the major bugs Google had themselves.
So after a full day of use, I will apparently get 27 hours out of a full charge on the Nexus 6 with an hour each of video streaming in Chrome and Google Play Music along with frequent Web browsing. Nothing alarming in the stats either, mostly screen and Chrome. Good job I don't have any of the weird niggles.

Basically. Might as well wait for 5.1.

Guys, if you do google's account safety check you get an extra 2GB drive data for free for life. You have to do it by feb 17:
https://security.google.com/settings/security/secureaccount
takes 2 seconds really. Apparently you'll get the 2gb on the 28th.

S6 benchmark appears. 3gb RAM, 20mp cam, 32gb 5.0.2 out of the box.

Holds up to the international Note 4, looking good! Basically Sammy hit a home run here if true.

Murders that shit in terms of GPU.
Also I told you all that it wouldn't probably be the Note 4 chipset, and they'd have something new.
PS: 5.0 sucked, but 5.01/.02 has been perfectly fine for me for a while now on my N7. So I'm fine with that on my G3.

see, if you had on one of those otterboxes, the phone would be too thick to fit in the crack of the elevator.

Can't believe my 2013 Moto X still doesn't have Lollipop. This article certainly doesn't make me feel better as I feel like this is going to continue to take awhile...

How you manage to get it so cheap? $250 new is a steal.
Craigslist. Just gotta get lucky with the listings.
