They grew their flagship a whole inch in a matter of 2 years. Who the hell else does that?

Size only matters up to a point. After a certain length, it's just painful. Plus, it's not how big it is, but what you do with it.
Failing companies desperately flinging shit to a wall.

sad but exactly right
trying to go where they think the crowd is. These phones are honestly going to bomb so hard I think. Maybe the moto E and G have a chance but the rest are going to straight bomb.

Too....Many....innuendo....
Are you still talking about smartphones?
Like always length is overrated. The width is the deal breaker for me.
I have a wide grip, so girth isn't that big of a deal for me.

meh 5.7 inches would barely fit in my pants. I prefer smaller. Don't need people staring at my bulge all day and I don't have anything to prove.
I think thats part of why I'm still on a N4. Just the right size for my pocket.

It's good to see the backlash on the 5.7 inch Moto X. It looks Motorola keeps selling the Moto X 2014 for cost alongside the Moto X Pure, Moto G, and Moto X Style. This gives them 5, 5.2 but shitty camera, 5.5, and 5.7. *Scust at all these options*
On the brighter side, The Moto X 5.7 inch US version is a competition for the Galaxy Note going solely off size. This puts pressure on Samsung thankfully.

What device do you want taking into account the reveals of the past few days?

absolutely none of them
if someone had a gun to my head I'd uhhh take the moto x pure. Or maybe the OP2. Don't really know. But yeah none of them.

Only correct answer is Huawei Nexus.

Just got home from work and I have been catching up on all the announcements. The whole slew of Motorola's announcements sound like one huge disappointment. I can't stand phablets and now Motorola decides to completely forego making a decently sized phone in favor of going all out in the larger display market which is already overcrowded with every other damn manufacturer.
I saw Motorola as the last hope to get a decent flagship that isn't over sized and they blew it big time. I can't imagine their high-end focused phones have ever sold well, but these latest Moto X's are going to be a disaster. The Moto G also sounds like a mess because it is outclassed in price/specs against phones like the ASUS Zenfone 2.

Which manufacturer is the closest to making the perfect Android phone?
Top tier screen
Top tier battery
Top tier camera
Top tier processor + GPU
Fingerprint scanner
Great looking and feeling hardware
Least or no bloat in their software
Lmao oh god, its Samsung isn't it. Sony get your shit together.

Watch the Huawei Nexus turn out to be a $600 piece of crap out of China made worse by the fact that it's also designed by a Chinese company.
The embedded firmware is probably sending all your data to the Chinese government while the Android OS is sending all your data to the NSA.

naw from what I know for a fact and also what I tentatively know, it seems like a beast on paper.
Our procurement team stopped buying Lenovo Thinkpads after a researcher in the labs department found a module calling back to China intermittently.
The things that happen working at a security company. :|

ex machina is a great movie!

I don't even know what Imitation Game is and I know Lucy is probably meh at best so Ex Machina.
-Pyromaniac-

probably announced late september/october. Some decent Huawei nexus leaks have come out. Not many LG nexus leaks.
Imitation Game was excellent, if a bit slow paced. Haven't watched Ex Machina but apparently it's good. Avoid Lucy at all costs. Horrible movie.
I'm getting OnePlus2. Not sure why you nerds are down on it. Fuck Android Pay, pay with cash the government is watching.

Neither of those are great because they all have compromises. I think you should skip those and wait for the next round of options.
Ex Machina and Imitation Game are both some of my favorite recent movies.

Imitation Game really was amazing as well. Can't go wrong with that or EX. Lucy is entertaining but total shlock.

Damn that new Moto X Style is banging for $399. Gives OP2 some serious competition, but with Android there are sacrifices and both of these force you to give up features if you choose one over the other.

Doesn't seem like any of them are stock though.

Both Lucy and Ex Machina are great! But if you want something more serious, go with the latter. I haven't seen the Imitation Game, so i can't speak on that. Also, here's one of the best scenes from Machina. Spoilers, obviously.

some people just want things to look stock, even when they really aren't.
