If the Nexus 5-2 actually does end up with the 820 then surely the 6-2 will also end up with the 820 right?

NO, because the six inch phone performs well as is. At best it warrants an S810. LG needs to show us what the 128 GB storage and microsd life is like on a Nexus device.

The browser usage seems kinda high, I use UC browser and it is usually way lower than my screen usage.

I can't say I used it horribly long today. I used the browser way more yesterday and I still got a lower usage than today.
You know full well that's not going to happen.

MKBHD OnePlus 2 camera review is up. Seems to have laser auto focus and he gives it a b+ to a-

So basically, from MKBHD's review of the camera, it's good, just not the best out there. But it's not really a slouch. Good to hear.

Is he going to drip feed his review like OnePlus does it's marketing campaign? Why?

And I'm out at the 5.7" screen. I hate this phablet direction we're moving toward.

There's still a 5" version from LG in the works.
But the OP2 has the improved version of the 810!

Oh man. Please let the 820 news be true, and please let the price be under $400 again. I'd prefer the screen to be Nexus 6 size, but eh.
Yeah, I'm not changing from the Nexus 6 but just happy that there might be good Necxus devices out this year and will make me happy for when I upgrade next year.

If they really put out two Nexus phones this year, I don't think the phablet is going to be the cheap one.

Hmm, good point. I didn't think about that.

Yeah I think the huawei one will be the expensive one. Would be nice if the LG had an 820 as well but I'm not sure.
That's a Sprint issue, not a build issue. Seems even iPhones are having this problem

well thats interesting
It's really tiresome to have people want the best specs but demand budget prices.
Thank you. I'm trying this now. Amazing how this stuff slips through.

LG one is 5.2in. 1080p screen too, FTW.
Yeah, I'm reticent to go Huawei; they're completely untested, and the Huawei Nexus will likely command a similar price to the Nexus 6.
I see so many people in love with their Nexus 6, and I just don't... get it. I've had every Nexus phone, and the N6 runs horribly once the up-time passes a dozen hours.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
He has to? It's probably an NDA for getting the phone early.
That's why he had to blur the phone out.

If 820 is coming to both Nexus 5-2 and 5.7, then it's going to be huge news for android users.

What's the big deal with 820 -- beyond it being the latest and greatest?
SolidSnakeUS
Member
Not a piece of crap (supposedly), at least as fast as the current Exynos, if not quicker, and so on. Also, I think the 820 will allow on screen finger print scanning? Unless, I'm wrong? Sorry if I've been really misinformed.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
FinFET process presumably 14nm
It's a whole new chip design compared to the 810. First introduction to Kyro cores.
If anything the 810 and it's little brother the 808 were stopgaps.

Gimme dat Huawei!
Qualcomm's own cores. With the 810 they were too late to the 64bit party and had to licence ARM cores hence the octacore (big.LITTLE).

Mmmmm. It reminds me of the new 14mm processor due next year for PC. The next step, so to speak.
Skylake, Pascal and the 820. 2015/16 will be great years for consumer technology.

14nm... now that is worth the hype. I hope it is!
Sell me on Huawei. What's the best phone, in your opinion, that they've made thus far? How's their general build quality?
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
To be fair Qualcomm is LTTP. GS6 already has that 14nm chipset from Sammy.
Huawei's high-end devices are nice, imo.
The Honor 7, for example: http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_7-7269.php

Huawei P8 is their flagship - nice build quality and camera, but a step below the the high end phones like the Galaxy S6. I was hoping they would bring it to the US and sell it at a cheap price.
Their P8 Lite isn't a bad phone at $250. It's unlocked and has all bands for both AT&T and T-Mobile. It's in that tier with the Asus Zenphone 2 and Alcatel Idol 3 - great midrange phones.
The downside is in all the reviews I've seen there are complaints about the software. Huawei tries too hard to make the phone more like the iPhone, and that also means there is no app drawer. I assume you should be able to switch to Google or Nova launcher and that should make things better.

Damn Apple just but the A8 in the new redesigned iPod Touch.

Thinking of snagging a moto 360 for my G4. Will the Bluetooth always being in affect my battery in a terrible way? Figure not having to check my phone a lot will help

Should I bite on N6 for 400? My old N5 is laggy and terrible lately.

Wait for the superior Huawei Nexus or just wait for the N5-2. If you can't wait pick up a 200 dollar phone to tide you over.
I'd stick it out...new Nexii info just leaked today - it shouldn't be too much longer till they drop.
