Did htc say what the m9 price is for comparison?

€649 I think, but nothing official yet.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I am. I just spent 300 bucks on a Wii U a few weeks ago

Please tell me you didn't buy a Wii U over a PS4

 

[Hasney]

Please tell me you didn't buy a Wii U over a PS4

Why? You don't want people to be smart in their purchases?

EDIT: This is the Android thread dammit. We all have Ouyas here.

Nah I have had a PS4 since launch.

US Price is $650 off contract.

 

[Jazzy Network]

make that a nexus and goodenough.jpg

That skin is uggo though. 4.7-5 should be the tops for non phablets

It's pretty much stock though outside of the launcher. Once you put on Nova or Apex, it might as well be stock.

I would buy a Wii U over a PS4. I have a gaming PC already so a PS4 would be redundant for the most part.

Yeah same. Wii U has the best multilayer games too.

And if you don't have a gaming PC? What then?

 

[HawkeyeIC]

in order of who I trust to not let me down it goes Moto > oneplus 2 > nexus

I don't include LG because they're predictable.

Worried about LGs software? I think the G4 will be very solid hardware this year.

The thing with the G4 though is that I know exactly what it will be like. Like the G3 but more. And that's not my interest personally. Who knows though maybe they pull some top secret shit out of their hat.

 

[injurai]

So what are verizon's prospects for 2015? They always seem to have the absolute dregs of the android world at all times.

They will be full of 4G LTE logos.

They must. There so much disappointment one can take ;_;

#teamnote4in2015

Looks like everyones bitter tears are justified. What a horrible year for android.

The folks losing their shit over the lack of SD card in the OT thread is like a parody of every 5th page of this thread.

Android deprecated it, people. Plus local media storage becomes less and less important every year.

Let it go.

No thanks. If i cant get microsd, i won't purchase the phone. #teamnote4in2015

Note is just going to be the same as the GS6.

 

[injurai]

goddamn I hate verizon, it's amazing how they managed to be so successful before landing the iphone on their network...

Their network really is pretty much what saves them.

 

[DarkFlow]

I do have one, so this question is irrelevant. Notice how I stated the sentence with "I". Why do people flip the fuck out in here when you say you don't want a PS4?

 

[The Faceless Master]

who cares? #Note6

It's really a good network. And they know that.

-.- I didn't flip out. It was a simple question. No need to get defensive.

 

[Husker86]

LG G3 or Moto X 2nd Gen for my girlfriend...the G3 is actually cheaper on Amazon, but I'm kinda going back to preferring AMOLED look. Only thing that worries me is the Moto X camera, and battery life I guess. She is coming from an Optimus G, and while it ran pretty smooth, I'd like her to experience some stock goodness eventually.

As ready as I was, I may be sitting out on a new phone for myself for even longer. If I get to two years with my Nexus 5 I will be shocked, but I just can't find anything that wows me.

 

[Vanillalite]

OnePlus could be great if they'd offer their users a stock rom. I don't see what makes their skin better than HTC's, Sony's or Samsung's.

OnePlus was all about the pricing not the skin.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Either way, if you don't have a gaming PC you should get one. In the long run it's cheaper than console gaming.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Anybody else hoping the Z4 and G4 comes in and kills it?

She is not going to miss out on much. But she will miss out on a much better camera and battery life. I'd get her the G3.

Anybody else hoping the Z4 and G4 comes in and kills it?

I'm hoping so. This year cannot be so terrible, it just can't.

Yeah, battery life alone is making me consider the G3. She is terrible about plugging her phone in during the day.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I can't care about sony for obvious reasons but it would be nice if the G4 was a good phone but what would people consider killing it? I feel like we all know exactly what the G4 will be, like the G3 but better. Not saying that's a bad thing if you're into it but I'm also not sure what people are expecting from it.

 

[Nightengale]

There should a rule that all OEMs must prioritise battery life improvements and quality above all others.

Probably expecting it to be more premium build. I'm personally hoping they make the screen smaller and use AMOLED instead of LCD.

About Micro SD card slot, can't any of the case or battery pack case manufacturers produce a case for the Samsung Galaxy S6/ S6 Edge that has a Micro SD card slot?

wouldn't work like an SD card though.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Listening to the Pocketnow podcast ATM and they're shitting on the M9 camera. Saying the pictures are grainy and no OIS kills it.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Oxygen OS is going to be pretty much stock. They hired alot of the paranoid android guys to design it and it will be stock plus a few enhancements like better camera software.

 

[Pooya]

oh Samsung. There is really no point in not buying iPhone over GS6 now, good job. They really have no clue how to differentiate.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

skip.

year.

#TeamEvenYear taking no prisoners. We need to send some rations to #TeamOdd brethren.

The OPO does have a stock ROM.

Call me a nerd but I'm psyched for benchmarks to come out for all three phones. Battery comparisons and quality of flash storage are going to be key to sway my purchasing decision as this year moves forward. It's interesting to see if Samsung's strategy is remotely successful and they significantly improve their margins the face of lower sales on the low to mid end of the spectrum.

I'm #TEAMTAKEMAHMONEY to whomever comes with what I want. The M9 is close but we've got a long year to decide on what to buy. If my i5 can last three years this next device has to as well and I'll be damned if I buy something that won't last.

Why wouldn't it?

I dont see the issue if you want to upgrade from S4 to S6

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Have faith guys. Still lots of devices to go. Z4, oneplus2, moto x , lg g4, nexus.

Your money will be taken. They can't allll disappoint................

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

I would straight up recommend an S5 over an S6, being completely honest here. But that's for my personal usage patterns.

 

[reKon]

Sonic cycle is in full effect here.. (except the disappointment comes at the unveiling stage, not when the phones are fully reviewed)

 

[The Faceless Master]

Why wouldn't it?

because it would be treated like any other USB external storage device and not like an SD Card.

 

[Drifters]

Guys, just don't bring up 'The Order 1886' in this thread because we will get royally f'ed like the Footy GAF.

 

[The Faceless Master]

^^^ even HTC wasn't THAT bad ^^^

oh Samsung. There is really no point in not buying iPhone over GS6 now, good job. They really have no clue how to differentiate.

wireless charging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
