So November.

 

[Groof]

[EmiPrime]

Android M is old news.

Bring on Android N.

I would say Moto's phones. The curved back and the dimple are great for ergonomy.

The iPhone 5S and original Motor X were my faves size and shape wise.

Nexus 5


Btw Huawei showed a 79€ smarband that looks like a smartwatch. Probably not Android Wear but seems interesting , 3 days battery life, notifications (not sure if you can interact though)

 

[vivftp]

lol these android oems and these logos man str8 killin me

I read a comment from someone on another forum that speculates the engraved logo might provide additional grip while taking photos. It's pretty much right where your right thumb would be when snapping a picture using the camera shutter key.

need so bad

and I've said it before but unless something has changed, which it could, Nexus phones should be out late october. Or at least definitely the huawei one.

 

[brotkasten]

We all know what it looks like, but the lack of information about the battery is concerning.

 

[Bboy AJ]

I got my Zenpad S today. It's fast. And tiny.

Which is?

Convenience. Putting your phone up to your eye is already in face recognition.

So November.

Most rumors point to Android M in September, alongside the Nexus 5. Nexus 6 in October/November.

In fact, a Korea blog, which claims their source also gave them accurate info about the original N5, said it is coming September 29th, to be exact, via the Play store.

We all know what it looks like, but the lack of information about the battery is concerning.

2,700mAh is the only rumor so far from Android Police back in May. Prepare for disappointment.

So... if the Moto X Play doesn't have gyro, how would one change the orientation of apps and play games that use the gyro?

 

[reKon]

Heyyyyyy: http://m.gsmarena.com/archos_diamond_tab_becomes_official_with_4g_lte_support-news-13730.php

http://www.archos.com/us/products/tablets/diamond/archos_diamondtab/index.html

Not bad! I like having more options available. Good job Archos! I hope the Galaxy Tab S 2 has terrible sales which that laughable pricing. The highlight here is the 3GB of ram, relatively larger battery, LTE and pricing! If this actually gets Android M, it's looking good.

Side note: Even though I'll never pay more than $300 for a tablet, it's kind of crazy how good performing the iPad Air 2 is. Obviously more ram would be a great decision, but that tablet still blows everything away. If only iOS was a better OS ;(. At least the multi window implementation looks good.

Motorola kinda confirmed it lacks gyro

[Ty4on]

I just want to ask you guys opinion

It's not perfect, but I quite like the shape of the Nexus 4.
If I were to make myself a smartphone right now the shape would be the same only slightly taller to accommodate a 16:9 screen, something like a leather/wood back and bigger nubs to prevent it sliding.

The original Moto X looks great, but I've never held it (never sold here). I'm curious how the curve makes it on a flat surface.

So... if the Moto X Play doesn't have gyro, how would one change the orientation of apps and play games that use the gyro?

The accelerometer. Every iPhone before the 4 lacked the gyro as well.

The accelerometer can be used at least for the orientation, although it's a lot less accurate.

Google translate is garbage and most of us don't know Spanish, mind summarizing?

 

[Nastrodamous]

So I got an s6 edge + through the Samsung trial thing. I haven't had this much fun using a phone since I had the nexus one. Probably going to get the moto x but man this thing is good

You can read the source: http://phandroid.com/2015/08/25/motorola-confirms-no-double-chop-gesture-or-gyroscope-for-moto-x-play/ That web is shit.

 

[outunderthestars]

Samsung phones are so great when you first turn them on and set up. Give it a month or so of installing apps and stuff. The experience deteriorates worse than any other phone oem I've ever used. And I've used almost all.

Totally agreed. I don't think I am going to buy another Samsung phone again.

I'll never to get experience this, lol. I remember back in the day wanting a Galaxy S2, but I think that never ended up getting one because of Verizon. I always thought the skin was shitty and bloated until recently. If the Galaxy Tab S 2 was priced better and had a bigger battery, I may have considered it. I feel like like I'm never going to get a Samsung device running Touchwiz because Samsung keeps fucking something up. Battery life should have been a futher improved, not regressed!

How does it even play most Android games without a gyro? Don't racing games like Asphalt 8 require one?

 

[BoboBrazil]

Does the Pure have a gyro? No buy if not. I saw some benches of it by the way. Barely scores more than my OPO.

As a biased owner the 2013 moto x is the best phone to hold that I've ever held. It's stable enough on flat surfaces plus you can spin it when you get fidgity.

I've made a habit out of spinning my Moto X round and round as a wait to pass the time.

Yes.

'13 Moto X is the perfectly shaped and sized phone for me

 

[Admodieus]

Yes.

'13 Moto X is the perfectly shaped and sized phone for me

Feel the same way. Very disappointed nobody is making 4.7" phones anymore

 

[reKon]

Yes.

I was hoping that the 2014 Moto X would have 4.8 - 5inch inch screen with a 2600 mAH battery and Motorola did the opposite...

5.2 inch screen with 2300mAH..

seriously fuck off

Of course it has gyro

I like the LG G3, but mainly because it's the one phone with a big screen without massive fucking bezels like the 6+ or Note 4.

Another fan render...

Looks chunky (wide) in this one.

It would be fine without the fingerprint reader on the back. Not great or good, but fine.

Yeah I can manage with this old Galaxy S2 a collegue donated to get me over my dead Nex4 until that thing arrives, I guess.

There's this one other company. The name escapes me. Probably not that popular.

How often do you really unlock your phone while it's on a table though?

 

[Zombie James]

Hopefully someone releases a case that covers up that fingerprint sensor. The latest useless smartphone trend (imho).

 

[outunderthestars]

I don't lock my phone at all. Don't really see the point.

Haha just realized all the cases are going to have a hideous little circle cutout underneath another circle cutout. Gross

So you don't need a finger print scanner.

 

[reKon]

do you guys ever get exhausted talking about phones that will ultimately disappointing? I mean it's not like this all the time in Android land, but it's definitely the case that this year, all phones seem to be underwhelming so far except for a few.

fingerprint is useful as fuck
