People using custom roms stay winning.

How are custom roms winning? Some of the applications pre-cache MMS, some of them don't, but as soon as you open the message, the code runs. It was a matter of time before an exploit is out there that's directly related to platform updates.

Unrelated but the nutty part of Android is the amount of changes that LG and Samsung does to the core keychain store. There is no fucking reason to touch a core process like the keychain store at all, especially with organizations that objectively have limited competencies in security compared to Google.

Because it's already been fixed by Google and rolled into up to date cm based roms. Only people affected are using manufacturer code that's older.

usually CyanogenMod roll those fixes into the code as soon as their found so it's probably fixed if you're on one of the nightlies.

Surprised there isn't much leakage of the new moto g. Congrats to Motorola for not letting anything get out on that even so close to its unveil.

Do you mean X? Because we had an unboxing of the G.

 

[Drifters]

lol I didn't hate on you that much - fwiw, my 2014 Moto X is probably one of the best purchases I've made in Android land

I'm legit on the fence about the Moto X3 or the OnePlus 2 for my next phone. Although, the HTC speakers are going to be hard to top but I'm hoping the X or 1+2 comes close.

 

[Staab]

Nah bruh Sony never updates their flagships!

Spoiler

are you in the US or UK?

Switzerland (EU), I think we recieve our updates from the DACH zone (germany, austria, switzerland).

My god the OP2 looks like a turd.

 

[Junior Mint]

Appearance ugly, not nice, OnePlus one better,
good workmanship,
camera OIS work well,
fingerprint home button so so,
Oxygen OS suck ...
enjoy the pics!

I kinda feel like I should laugh here

Maybe this will be the thing that pushes Android updates to make sense.

Lollipop is the best update to Android since ICS

I think it looks okay

as black slabs go of course.

OP2 looks fine. If that's really a mute switch, that's a huge feature.

[kami_sama]

Leaving the camera out, I think it's a great phone. I love how it looks. But the camera placement is a little strange.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I think OP2 looks pretty decent. We know the camera performs well enough. OP1 had great battery but I think going to QHD is going to hurt it. Which is a shame.

Other than that looks solid enough. I most likely won't be getting it but I think they've done well. Throwing 4gb of RAM and usb c and a fingerprint sensor. The phone is basically a fuck you to the slacker OEMs like LG/HTC.

I might actually attempt to get one over settling for the edge now tbh

But it's gonna be such a pain in the ass

trying to get an invite last year was just hectic

The invite board is full of bots posting "me" to every new thread or crying how their phone happened to just break.

Guess I can wait and see....lucky i'm off work all week I guess.

ZTE Axon reviews are starting to come out.

http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/27/zte-axon-review/

I think this is the OnePlus 2's most direct competition hardware wise, and the ZTE is close to stock.

I think only having a 32GB option with no mSD and no fingerprint scanner hurts it against the OPT, but I LOVE how it looks.

I'm registered and for now, I don't have money to buy it. So, if you want the invite you
can have it

it's getting good reviews but the OP2 will probably be priced better. Also not sure why the Axon is so big considering it's only 5.5 inches. Bezel central up in there. Also QHD ruins the battery of yet another phone! Or at least ruins it from being awesome. Also no fingerprint.

Huge step up for ZTE. Loving that near stock. Seems like it's getting good reviews.

lol i'm down for that i'm sure I can give you mine if I ever get one if I do get yours

Although that referral list is kinda a con and a spam fest. your number continues to climb the more people share their link and on top of that you only get invites that have expired.

When I unlocked the bootloader on my Moto G, every time I started my phone, it showed a red warning sign. I fucking hated it. One of the first things I changed.
I hope we can make this warning go away.

 

[Testicular Sound Express]

I'm a big fan of the black non-descript look. Its why I love the Nexus 5 design so much. Simple and clean.

 

[Maiar_m]

Yeah these OPO2 pics please me on the design side as well. But really, I can't do anything bigger than my N5.

The Huawei Nexus will probably the prettiest (I love their designs) but at that size... And I'm sure LG will botch the N5-2. I know they can.

Screw the 5-2, this is the jam right here. Sounds like they're using the Z3/Z4 camera, perhaps?

You can also imagine no USB-C if they aren't leaking that

Yoooo. That battery son. Gonna need to see the cam in action. Also what's the size at 5.5. Fingerprint tho?

 

[Talon]

Oh, man. Turns out MMS is just one vector for that series of vuln. Forbes, obviously, missed this.

Wait for Ars' take on it.

This must be fake. I can't believe it lol.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Also FHD means1080p right? At 3600mah...that would be a ridiculous battery if it's optimized well enough.

Lack of fingerprint still puts the Nexus 5-2 ahead (unless that lacks it too :/)

 

[Toki767]

If that OP2 leak is legit, it looks fine, although seemingly really long.

I just don't know what people expect phones to look like anymore.

That, price and the fact that the sweetest specs are probably going to end up on the phablet variant of the moto X.

It would be strange for Google to build a new feature into Android just to not use it in it's own phone.

Dat Mah is amazing so I expect at least 5 hours of SOT. 5.2 inch version has to overcompensate for lack of screen size.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

honestly if the 5.2 version sticks to 1080p which it likely will and also has a 3000mah battery minimum it could still have awesome battery life.

 

[kharma45]

I like the front of the OP2, the rear is ugly.

 

[……forgetit]

yup, sad but most likely

Good point, and I doubt those specs. 1080p seems really unlikely to me with what happened to HTC and the last 2 Motorola flagships having QHD.
