Note 5 pics

looks even more slippery that the s6 or the s6e

 

[……forgetit]

Stereo speakers too. I'd wager they haven't learned a thing about the battery life

3000mAh with a QHD screen ain't shit lol, it might actually be worse.

 

[Volotaire]

So get a Windows Phone if you don't need a smartphone.

Got it.

Not that they don't need a smartphone, they might want to access 1 or 2 smart apps such as the internet browser (easily) from time to time. Apart from that, that may be the only smart functionality they need.

Also, there's a difference to getting this and a non smartphone in terms of large numbers and tiles for impaired vision, etc.

Although, now I'm describing a very niche audience so I've failed to sustain this reasoning.

Yeah,the glass back looks nice but not so much when it's dropped

 

[soundahfekz]

I'm definitely in the minority but I too think the AP piece was a bit unfounded.

That's not to say OP isn't a shitty, lying company that doesn't deserve your money.

nah i agree,

OP sucks, but I found the article to be a little unprofessional. I don't think it stated much that wasn't already obvious.

Moto x style is gonna eat OP2's lunch anyway

In other words, with does phone is for a tiny ass niche market.

the Moto X 2014 battery is trash. Moto please.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Seriously.

QHD is pretty much useless, and I detest companies are putting it in their devices without compensating with bigger batteries.

OnePlus sticking with 1080p was the best decision they made.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

The increase to 5.7 was insanity and putting the 3600mah battery in the play and not the style is pretty funny.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

The incrase to 5.7 was insanity and putting the 3600mah battery in the play and not the style is pretty funny.

It is, but we'll see how it goes. If it's better than the S6/G4/6/6+, then it's going to be a winner.

It'll have better battery life than the LG Nexus

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

There's a good chance they could be equal or LG better if the LG nexus has 1080p insstead of QHD and a battery of at least 2800mah.

Lol, Nexus is guaranteed to have a bad battery and camera. That is the sacrifice you make with a Nexus, just like horrible customer service with OnePlus.

I thought the Nexus 5 had a pretty good camera for the time?

nexus 5 camera was just average

I don't know. I think the huawei camera could be solid. And we'll have to see what they do with the LG one. We said the same thing about Motorola phones every single year didn't we?

No, it was horrible.

It is probably still true about Motorola this year too. Wait for reviews. MKBHD wasn't impressed in his impressions.

the Moto X 2014 battery is trash. Moto please.

I have a droid turbo, it has a 3900mAh battery and I get the same as I did when my G2 was new, I'd hate to see what it would be like with 900mAh less.

What's the best offline password app for android?

Anyone?

 

[brotkasten]

It takes pictures (when it doesn't fail to launch).

That's the nicest thing I can say about the Nexus 5 camera.

 

[HawkeyeIC]

Really pathetic from both parties. Firstly I think AP was overly harsh, article read like some meh hit piece rather than any real substance tbh. It’s marketing for christ sake. Like there’s never been any hyperbole ever. OP lol smh, there’s no need to throw a tantrum and your toy out of the pram. You’re not Apple.

The guy that wrote the article is my least favorite AP writer and seems to be a real douche.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Here's a pic I took with my nexus 5

dawwwww

 

[rrvv]

Nexus camera is decent as long you don't want to be pro photographer wannabe.

I mean, I use proper camera if I want to get good photo instead buying phone with really good camera

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Sounds like Nvidia is recalling a large portion of the Shield Tablet supply. They have a recall notice sent up from July 2014 - July 2015 due to defective batteries.

Well, was just about to buy one, nevermind.

They should've done what they always do with Tegra.

Delay it for a year. It's not like people would notice.

David Ruddock is really acerbic, but at least he writes good reviews

from where?

 

[……forgetit]

from where?

Was just going to order from amazon. Wanted one for the new semester, but I guess I'll go with the Surface 3 after all.

after seeing the prices you weren't ever going to...

they've been discontinued for months now and the prices have been extraordinarily high

[Fatalah]

So...is there no hype for the Moto X Pure? I'm confused but maybe that's cause I'm on Verizon and have had an iPhone for a while...

Lots of hype around the Moto X Pure!

With 1 SKU, I'll be watching the huge secondhand market closely! (aka Swappa)

The Moto X 2014 took a bit of a dip in price this week, not surprisingly. Here's the AT&T model:

And with two flashes

As someone who has pictures on GAF disabled on the phone and has to tap on the button first, screw you!

I got word that the entire backplate is a fingerprint scanner/palm reader.

It gets promoted to instabuy status then but only if it looks like dat smexy pic

Here's the Xperia C5 Ultra:

And the C5 Ultra beside the Xperia M5

The original site that had the pics removed them, but they were re-hosted here along with a few more:

I'm digging the design of the C5 Ultra. Makes me even more excited to see what the Z5 Ultra will look like.

 

[DrFunk]

that looks...surprisingly ok

That picture is so hilarious. Everyone looooves these huge phones, but you have to shrink down the apps back to normal size to make that shit usable.

 

[Furyous]

dawwwww

I'm going to find you and pet your puppy. Run up on him/her hugging him/her all flagrantly like that one time I ran up on a chinese police Collie and proceeded to recklessly pet him.

--

That C5 Ultra has an absolute 2014 looking resolution. It's 2015 so step it up Sony.

--

Dropped 30,000 spots in the One Plus two invite list and am FUCKING PISSED. I've had it and need to resort to alternate means to get my spot back and jump people.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I just don't get why Sony is still releasing these random sidephones. Stick to the Z/Z compact. That's IT. This is part of their problem. They never seem to learn. Bezels look good hopefully they implement it in next years Z line.

Or you could just get a phone that isn't shitty.

I don't see anything wrong with that. It's the best of both worlds, really. I have the Xperia Z Ultra which is even bigger than the C5 Ultra, and I would find it very difficult to go to a smaller phone simply because I'm spoiled by the massive screen when web browsing, viewing media and gaming. On the flipside there are times when it's too big for its own good and using it one handed is all but impossible. That's another reason I'm liking this minimal side bezel design as that'll make the entire device that much more easy to handle. I'm just hopeful the next Z Ultra will also minimize the top and bottom bezels too. On one of the other forums I visit I did hear rumour that the SONY logo will be placed on the side rather than the front, so that could be a sign that the bezels at the top and bottom will be severely reduced... hopefully.

 

[Wreav]

Damn, they did good work on shrinking those bezels.

 

[vivftp]

It's a 1080p screen on a mid-range device. It's perfectly acceptable
