y'all still won't buy one

I said it above...no fingerprint is a dealbreaker

Maybe I'd let it slide if everything else was PERFECT though. Size/battery/camera/software....maybe. Need nexus 5-2 leaks. Why so fewwwwwww.

Is finger print scanning THAT good?

My guess is because it isn't finished yet, we only got the Moto and OPT ones because people had them.

Very convenient. Especially when your job requires a pass code on your phone

 

[ArchAngel]

Is finger print scanning THAT good?

I want one for LastPass. Always typing a strong (20+ digit) password for unlocking the app is hopefully gone with it

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

it's just

Handy

 

[NaM]

No.

 

[Furyous]

.... Maybe. In my defense I bought an LG G3 after lusting after it for a while. Of course I returned it because my hands are small.

When the dust settles I'll go with either Nexus, Moto X, or OP2 depending upon benchmarks, reviews, and image processing.

Better than having to rely on a code all the time.

 

[Wreav]

I hate Sammy's take on the secondary authorization of an alphanumeric, 8 character minimum passcode. Such a fucking hassle to one hand, vs the iOS 4-6 digit PIN.

Other than that, yes, fingerprint is based.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Hmmmm. I guess I have to try it out.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

it's one of those things where once you use it it's hard to go back. Typing any sort of code or using a pattern just seems so goddamn cumbersome after using fingerprint scanning. Not to mention other app integration whether it's mobile banking or lastpass or whatever else people use.

if nexus/moto turns out to be shit or doesn't come out I might sell my note 4 and get the n6. I tried. I fooled myself for a long time then fucked around and installed cm12, now I can't go back =/

I don't think I'll ever buy another android phone that isn't vanilla android or close to it like motorola does

Lord those rumored Moto X 2015 specs:

3600+mAh battery
- 5.5" FHD display
- 21MP Main Camera, 5MP front Camera
- Dual SIM version available
- SIM + MicroSD Integration Card Slot
- Android 5.1.1

[Jazzy Network]

If Moto X has wireless charging, I'm there. Doubt it though.

I like wireless chargin on my Moto 360, but I wouldn't say that it's a dealbreaker for the Moto X 2015.

 

[Sid]

Has the Lollipop memory leak bug been fixed?

 

[Bboy AJ]

Battery sounds decent but no fingerprint scanner or USB C, two critical hardware components for future considerations, means it's dead to me.

It's weird how much you post without being able to read.

Unclean, unwashed, unbased plebe.

Assuming you're talking about the fingerprint scanner, what about that implies that people are lazy?

 

[VanMardigan]

Iris scanner is looking promising, we'll see an implementation this fall on phones. For me, it's either that or fingerprint, but those are definitely must haves.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

frealz!

And like I said I might be willing to let it slide if everything else is max levels of beast. If nexus 5-2 was a good size, killer battery, well priced, great camera, but no fingerprint. I wouldn't mind dropping 400 on it and just upgrading to something that has it all next year. But I also know this will never happen. Such an android device hasn't existed.

 

[VoxPop]

Hah no fingerprint scanner on the X. Moto is done. OP2 seems to be winning the race so far aside from the 810. Liking their plain jane look. Looking forward to the Nexus 5-2. Since they stopped selling the Nexus line at bottom of the barrel prices, maybe they won't skimp on the camera + battery this time around. Still a long way to go till Nexus leaks though, right?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It's ok guys. Kevin Wang says the 820 will be fine.

 

[Wreav]

We can make fun, but I am kinda apt to believe Wang, given the architecture changes.

Burn me once, shame on you, Qualcomm.

I think it'll be fine too but I just find the report to be funny for some reason. Maybe it's the name Wang. Totes mature.

 

[Vanillalite]

Uh, guys?

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

The LG G3 already exists...

Seriously at this point unless you are getting something cheaper you'd be stupid to pay flagship price for something like this.

Wait for the new chips in the fall if it isn't Sammy.

Hopefully the battery is really good and the bezels aren't too big. Also hope they do something new with Moto Actions.

 

[Reckoner]

Got 500 euros for my Nexus 6. Think it was a good deal. Already anticipating these new releases.

 

[Wreav]

The LG G3 already exists...

Garbage build quality/hand feel, goofy back buttons, awful back speaker, stupid skin, 8mp smaller back cam, smaller battery...you didn't even try here.

 

[eso76]

The new Elephone P7000 I just got has a pretty great fingerprint scanner.
Claimed to be faster than iPhone 6's.

Phone itself is pretty decent, rather standard Chinese mobile stuff but pleased with it for the price (190$) although it suffers from heavy throttling under stress.

 

[Alchemy]

That Moto X3 battery leak has me interested, I really want a 5.5 inch phone with a 1080p screen and big ass battery. Hope more details are official before the 6S Plus reveal so I can compare devices.

How lazy are you to own a smartphone instead of doing everything manually

 

[HawkeyeIC]

Next Samsung event August 13...early note 5 this year.

Only Nexii reveals left after that for the year.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

aka the best reveal is yet to come

at least we should start seeing concete leaks during august I think.

 

[Quasar]

Well I'd consider it a dealbreaker after using an ipad for a while. Retyping my super long non memorable lastpass password all the time is super annoying on my phone.

Usb-c though I can take or leave. Though a reversible connector would be handy.

China measures speed in cores

Looks OK (same CPU cluster is sold in some flagships ), but makes me wish you could change the clock speed and disable cores to preserve some battery and prevent throttling/skinburn.

Only Nexii reveals left after that for the year.

My grammar nazi has gone nuts over this: Plural of nexus in original Latin (where -us usually turns into -i in plural) is actually nexus. Needless to say it's the same in English.
Nexi and Nexii look a lot cooler though.

36 more minutes!

Launching 8/4.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Meh £ Price please

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

At 450 it destroys the ZTE phone. Guess we'll see what the Moto X sport is priced at and what it contains.

450 aint cheap though. Canadian it's probably 500 something.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Definitely less than 450!

 

[Alchemy]

Is there gonna be a non-VR stream of this?

 

[BoboBrazil]

Yes, but you have to download their app from the play store to watch. On the plus side it doesn't need any permissions.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

hey wait I assume if we actually manage to order one of these it'll not be shipped from a warehouse in the corresponding location? like if I where to buy one it wouldn't ship from the UK and i'd be wacked with custom charges?

I think they ship from the warehouse from your country now in most places now that they have them in place. I know they have one set up in the USA in California.
