How's the performance? I feel like mine went down the shitter, when I updated my iPad 4 to iOS 7.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
It's an iPad 2. Performance sucks balls on the thing no matter.
They're being less than forthright on the topic.
Also that they are a startup running off VC money looking for a buyer makes me very weary given all the information they have access to. If Google buy them then great but otherwise...
True. They seem to say the info gets deleted if you hit delete, so perhaps if it comes time to be bought and we have concerns on who is buying we can hit delete and move on.

I don't know which update did it, but the Google keyboard word prediction is a lot better for me now. I'm able to tap out whole sentences with just the predicted words sometimes. It's still not as good as Swiftkey, but it's much closer than before.
I for one am shocked that a device that's over four years old doesn't run the latest software well. Shocked.
8 has some jank but it's mostly fine on both my mother's iPad 4 when I tried it and my Mini 2. Still runs well on the likes of the 5 and the 5S from my experience with them as well.
That's an option but in the meantime if they get hacked things would get really ugly.
Google really need to step up and make PushBullet/MightyText/Airdroid redundant so we can have Android notifications and SMS on desktop OS without having to rely on third parties. Given the state of Hangouts that doesn't seem likely.

The Motorola dimple was suppose to be a fingerprint scanner on the Nexus 6, but it was removed.
Given the metal band on the new Moto X, it's possible that it may double as one.
Would require an 820. Highly doubt Moto was the only OEM to secure the 820 this year.

Personally I really like my Nexus 6. The only issue's I have is the way a screen protector and tempered glass won't lay flat on the screen there are always masssicve bubbles around the edge (Halo) and it's super annoying. And the speaker increase from silent kills some notification sounds too (like hangouts message and the little sending noise the Google messenger has) those will be cut out at the start while the speakers turn on so I had to turn that off and use a different notification sound.
Its probably just a shell with no access to the internals.

Lol. Didn't they say it was supposed to be smaller? All kinds of fail.
Well that's wrong. The phone is smaller than the OPO so I doubt they've managed to shrink the phone and increase screen size, and the camera samples MKBHD had we're all 13MP ones not 16MP.

They showed a picture of the OP2 underneath the OPO and you couldn't see it. It's probably barely smaller. Shame they didn't stick with 5.5.
Might as well get the huawei nexus.

Kind of glad I missed out on the Nexus 6 deal from Amazon. Ended up grabbing an Alcatel Idol 3 instead and I can just about type 1 handed on it so the N6 would have been impossible to work with.

this was the picture they posted and they said the oneplus 2 is underneath the oneplus 1.
It's pretty impressive to fit 5.7 in a smaller frame than a 5.5 but man sticking to 5.5 with the obviously same really slim bezel would have been killer.
last rumour still says nexus 5-2 is 1080p. I'm hoping

i'm getting impatient I just want to see it already!
Suck it's being shipped with 5.0 too (if any of that is true of course)
Did they lie about everything lol?

I'm still of the belief there will be multiple models with different specs. Maybe not though.
Also the price could be placeholder there.

Yeah I think OP said themselves they wanted below $450?

BS. No proof. I have learned not to trust 1+

OP1 did have huge bezels though lol. Especially the top and bottom. I could easily see it being 5.7 and smaller now that I think about it.

hey now, maybe Sharp inspired them

Exactly. Bogus posting.
So for when the OP2 and Moto X 2015 comes out, I'm going to be switching to AT&T when I figure out which one I want.

One Plus 2 is confirmed dual sim now.
The OnePlus2 has a 13MP camera not 16. MKBHD has a review device and he confirmed it. I call BS on those specs.

Yeah, I just got one, I've never noticed/been fussed about input lag with my old TV I don't think. It's still relatively decent, right?

Apparently OP2 CEO confirmed they are releasing two phones this year but I think we already knew that a long time ago when he said something similar about going after two types of markets. I guess the question is whether they're both being shown at their event or maybe that's just the more expensive one.
Yeah, it's an extra 15ms so I doubt it's a massive deal. The only reason I'm after it so bad as I finally realised why I'm better at Street Fighter and Rocket League on PC as my old ass TV has close to 70ms. Didn't know until I tried playing a rhythm game with no TV calibration.

I'll allow it
Do want that edge.....Fucccccck can't be going without stock Android but it's so nice
It looks so good but the Note 5 will have a much larger battery, better SOC and the pen....

The pen i'd never use anyway but true enough on the battery. do we know confirmed specs yet?

That volume wheel looks sweet. Can expect this to have an unnecessarily high price tag though.Marshall (the amp company) London announced:
https://www.marshallheadphones.com/mh_se_en/phones/london
pretty cool, imo
edit: except for the price, SEK 4,995 is like $584 good lord
$583 (Based on Sweden price) gets you a 4.7-inch 720p IPS LCD, a quad-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, an 8MP camera, a removable 2500mAh battery, and a MicroSD slot
Hot specs... If it was a watch.
Dueal headphone ports though.
