Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Almost better to just get a cheap Snap 615 device instead if that's the case.

Qualcomm bout to ruin another phone
Qualcomm must be trying to offload as much of the 810 as possible. Probably why the phone will be cheap.

So Qualcomm are still denying the overheating issues?

True story. OnePlus will probably have to downclock it to the performance of the 615 anyways. lawl

Nice. I'm in day 1. Any overheating issues will be fixed with custom kernel.
It won't be fixed it'll be throttled to a different degree.

Yeah, by making it as slow as an 805 pretty much.

I have a friend who's offering to sell me a Nexus 5 for $135 US. Should I bite? I really need to upgrade, been rocking a ZTE Supreme for a while now, decent phone, I don't mind the lack of power and I'd keep it till it stopped working before upgrading, but it hasn't been updated since it's release and I can't stand the lack of support, so in that sense I feel like an older nexus phone would actually be ideal for me.
Thanks for the info! Gonna bite.
Wreav, just looked up replacing the battery, in case it's borked, and doesn't seem to be too hard to do on your own, so not too too worried.
I bought the Nexus 5 on release and I easily get through the day on Android M.
$135 is a steal for a great phone that will still be good 2 years from now.
Totally, but isn't the OnePlus One 805 already, or have I misremembered and it's an 801?

I do like the way Google still uses the N5 in promotional shots http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1061855
Lalalalala N6 doesn't exist lalalalala

Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013 are the GOAT.

Weird question: is the inverse color option in the drop down menu new? Both my wife and I noticed it for the first time today even though we've had our phones for months. It'd be weird if we both just coincidentally noticed it if it's always been there...

if you used the option even once it appears in there. if you're on 5.1 you can remove it though with a long press on the icon. if you're on an older version you'll have to wait about 30 days for it to go away.

N6 is a purdy phone, but you've gotta admit the N5 just looks downright amazing in promotional shots.

Xt1053? You enrolled her into soak testing?

Aye true enough the N5 was/is a pretty phone for those shots and in general. Gah I want one again just to have. #Moneywaster

Stay the fuck away from 810.
I just dont understand why phone makers even went through with this shit. What didnt the lab results not warned them?

S6 would have been GOAT if Samsung went for a 3000mah battery. Yes the S6 SoC KILLS S810, but Samsung also put good stuffs in other areas like the best AMOLED screens, fastest disk drive, metal build, toned down TW etc, etc...but the battery..why? :/
They can't even put the back and menu buttons the right way round, you expect too much of them.

Yes this is a official response.
The tech in the camera is so advanced basically, reality itself cant deal with the picture that is being taken, so it turns out shittier than the competition (which uses Sony tech)

It doesn't help that qualcomms vp of marketing lied to the press regarding the overheating.
I am sure Qualcomm is lying to the oems as well. Fucking pricks.
If this years Moto X and Nexus are fucked because of Qualcomm I am going to be angry

Thanks! It doesn't really bug me but I doubt I'll use it.
Aha! So it did just pop up.
Exactly, the only reason I'm moving from my Nexus 5 at the end of the year is because I have the D821 and won't get LTE stateside (I leave Korea in December).
I've owned both models and this has been one of my all time favorite phones.
The One plus two, next nexus or the new moto x are the three phones in looking at for my next upgrade.
I'm confused. How does the Samsung S6, Nexus, and Note compare. I thought the Nexus was the S6 up until now. I'm way behind on phone technology. Was going to get an LG G4 today because I love how it feels in my hand and I want a bigger phone so I can work on it. But I can't upgrade until Sept.
If you can pick any flagship the G4 and Nexus 6 are great phones.
It really is great, LG did everything right with it! I could upgrade at the end of the year but I love it too much. It was a huge step up from my crappy iPhone 3GS.

At least in Sony's case, the Xperias can be watercooled.
It's crazy how bad Qualcomm fucked up with the 810. And speaking of the 810, is that the only recent Qualcomm SoC with the faster ddr4 RAM? None of their other chips have it, do they?

All I care about at this point is nexus 5-2. As long as the rumours of 808 or 805 are true I'm solid.
But if that falls through I hope moto x and other nexus do it right.
820 will be good at least. Wouldn't it be shitty if the nexus phones are great this year but the cpu sucks. Then next year the cpu is great but the actual devices suck.

I think we've been getting diminishing returns on CPU advances in phones since 2013-14ish. As long as it doesn't overheat then I don't think much else matters.
Pretty much. SD 800's are even viable today

Phones should use the S6 cpu
