we're reaching too good to be true territory. Now all we need is confirmation that it's going back to low priced and the one we have been waiting for has arrived.

Damn, given how cynical all of your posts always come off as being I'm not sure why you even bother posting..

Talk about a misquote. You left off the most important piece of that right before which is talking about in the future if they have a one plus credit system like apple pay where you can use one plus credits to pay for uber and the like. You seem to have an agenda against this company for some reason lol.

Waiting for the 2000 mAh battery to be revealed.

OG rumour said 2800. I hope it's true or better. Should be solid for a phone at that resolution <3
They managed it once before with the old Nexus 5, no reason they can't do it again. Keep the faith!
I have money set aside for an upgrade but I don't know if I should... my Nexus 5 does everything I need it to already and the battery is fine on M. Maybe if one of the new devices has great speakers like the 2014 Nexus 6 and a great camera comparable to S6/G4. Feels a bit indulgent though given the number of iPhone 4(S)s I still see knocking around.

So, Samsung is apparently working on a 11K phone display

But my Sony from last year was already 5.2" and 1080p, wih great battery and a better camera than is likely on a nexus. So I should be excited for the same specs 18 months later?
(I do think it is good that the nexus is aiming at normal person specs. If they put in a big battery and improve the camera it should be a great option)
That's actually pretty great for VR and No-Glasses-3D with multiple sweetspots.

well it's hard to deny that a 1080p display with a 2800+mah battery won't be plenty better than 5" 1080p at 2300 which is what the OG nexus 5 was. The .2 shouldn't make a huge deal. If it really is 2800 and not more, it won't mean GREAT battery but it could be means solid battery. Which is forgivable when discussing a nexus 5-2.
I don't recall their being a setting, it just shows you.
There used to be one that asked how you traveled.
Odd. I'm looking at my settings and don't see anything like that but whenever I travel, I always get the parking location card.

My beef is that they're storing biometric information. No one else does that. And for good reason.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
One Plus 2 fails again on bands so it's worthless no matter how good the rest is.

New Moto X is what everyone needs to be excited for. And Huawei Nexus.
Don't forget the piss poor, arrogant customer service that the OPO had. Having to get PayPal to sort problems is not a good solution, that should be a last resort.

What about Apple and Google? Fingerprint to purchase is something I'm pretty sure is happening.
It's stored on the device, not with them.

Yeah those are the phones I'm hyped most for. Well...more so LG nexus than huawei but nexus none the less.
I just have a feeling moto is gonna drop the ball, no fingerprint or anything like that. Hopefully they fix their camera too.
BoboBrazil

Ah ok. Maybe that is what he meant in this scenario also, but I guess you never know. Even if they tried something like that custom roms would wipe it out.
The way it was worded, I don't think it can be. Like you fingerprint scan on your PlusThree after the PlusTwo and it sets it up.
As long as the new Moto X has a good camera, fingerprint scanner, and isn't slipperly like the Moto X 2014, I'm there.

I guess something like this would be opt in if you wanted them to do it if it's true. No other company comes close with what they offer for the price in specs or build quality.
OnePlus and quality are two words that don't go together. Specs yes, quality no.

Their build quality was outstanding on the OPO. They had an issue with some yellowing on early screens, but build quality is fantastic.
Yellowed screens was a lot more than just 'some' phones and OnePlus denied it even was an issue at the start. The phone has also had extremely buggy software with 'fixes' being continually promised, but release after release problems persist. The touchscreen is probably the biggest issue. It's been plagued with issues for months upon months, with the latest 'fix' being to get the phone to ignore certain values sent to it by the sensor. Then there is their frankly appalling customer service which sends users round and round in circles and shifting as much blame away from OnePlus as possible and finding any reason they can to reject RMA requests. Even if you can get a successful RMA you're talking months from start to finish. It's not acceptable at all.
I found when I has the decide too the faux metal plastic trim dinged extremely easy and the sandstone finish rubbed off near the bottom quite quickly. Also created too when you pressed around the USB port. I was also one of the ones with the GPS that was piss poor at locking on.
After two mediocre iterations? In a year of the 810? Why?
Mediocre? What?

Yeah the yellow screen affected most of the early phones. I went through a couple myself before getting a good one. They fixed that after a few months.
Any phone you use without a case will get dings and scratches and materials will wear off. I have mine in a case and still looks brand new when I take it out.
Customer service is a sore point with them but they started out incredibly small with only a few people and have improved considerably with their customer service since then by most accounts. You won't find a better deal on a smartphone of that quality out.
Motorola's best smartphone was the original Droid. Think about that.
Are you another X owner that pretends their phone isn't second tier to prevent buyer's remorse? The 2014 X is kind of a joke.
They clarified this later on in the same post by saying they won't store your fingerprints in the cloud because people were livid in the original reddit post.

I'm torn between which phones to buy this year. I need a Nexus phone this year and a backup Android smartphone. This leaves me torn between:
The G3 because it's cheap and performs better than the S810 or the OP2. Moto X 2015 might lack a fingerprint sensor and USB -C so it's out of the running.

With Oneplus and Motorola sticking to the 810 against all odds, it gives me a little hope that Qualcomm was actually able to fix it's problems. Nexus 6-2 might be back up on my list.

sticking with Qualcomm because option B is what exactly?
MediaTek?

they gonna sell 'em to OnePlus or nah? maybe they can ask Samsung...
HiiSilicon aka Kirin aka benchmarks like shiite compared to Qualcomm. I'd much rather buy a 2014 flagship with an S801 than whatever Kirin processor is up to date.

I was just sayin.
I'd take an 808 in my nexus 5-2 and be really happy. 810 only if fixed. OP2 will be the judge of that.

OP is a company I'd never rely on for anything. They put out garbage, defective hardware and promise they fixed it via software. Whatever. How they treat the 810 is irrelevant IMO. Scummy company.
