What in the hell are you talking about?
Funny, I swore I had that on my Moto Rizr.

For the short while I had the z3 compact last year, I really did fret for its life. The weeks before the official case was released, I dropped that thing a ton of times. Glass is slippery as hell.
Lol at his excuse. Yeah, right, you didn't drop it you're self.
I've long wondered about that given I still have my launch n4 which has always been nude unscratched/cracked. I don't feel like I've treated it with kid gloves or anything.
I've dropped my moto 4G a fair few times, but it's plastic, and I never got the feeling it was slippery like glass. Mostly it'd be my fault, like I was getting it out of the pocket, or balancing between my cheek and shoulder, talking to someone, and then looking elsewhere. It's perfectly fine even after those drops though.
In the z3 compact's case, just holding it, your finger glides, like the front screen.
Edit: turned my nexus 7 over, to see if my fingers glided over glass. And actually there is more grip there than I'd imagined! Probably my sweaty hands providing the grip. But imagine having to hold the thing. BTW z3 compact did survive all those falls.

Sony Lololol.
He broke the z5's frosted glass back. Claims that he doesn't know how it broke. And that perhaps it maybe that it fell and hit his iphone charger beside his bed or something.
And oh yeah, he posted it, out of public duty, that z5s might have weak backs, and not because he broke a review unit.
waaaaaaait

people keep blaming Lenovo but Moto was like that forever. even before Google bought them... and you cant even point to the time when Google owned them because they did the same thing then. they only had that one time where they were first on Verizon and everyone was so amazed that they acted like Motorola had customer support.
I mean moto g 2014
which is confirmed to get 6.0
... but not the carrier versions
they abandoned the moto e even worse tho, for sure
You can try to flash Marshmallow using mfastboot.
Yeah, it's bullshit. My nexus 6 is going to be the last Motorola phone I buy for a long, long time.

Awesome. Copped Monopoly.
Edit: Contre Jour too. I forgot it was in my wishlist until I went to its page.
Where did you read this? This affects me too - for a month at least. I'm pretty sure moto g and moto 4g is just about their most important - read best selling devices. Really don't want to screw that customer in my opinion. And I am pretty sure here in the UK we're getting it.
The Sharp Aquos Compact SH-02H is what I need to come back to Android.
Small, premium, beefy phone? Those are basically extinct. I hope it's not too expensiveI'd just buy an iPod Touch for those games that are iOS-exclusive.
Those Sharp phones are the only ones I would consider buying at the low/mid range. They look different and interesting. Too bad they never came out in Europe, afaik.

I don't understand why they keep using glass backs.

Because it's beautiful. I prefer a glass back. It just needs to be... More practical for most. I can deal with a glass back, though, because I'm not a kinder.
I know of people with the Z3 and none of them have cracked the glass. Yet, there's a battalion of people on the Internet claiming that they were sold a broke product by an evil corporation called Sony.

And so, the next contender as a Nexus alternative (for near stock Android) is gone due to support lottery for OS updates. Way to go Lenovo, i really feel bad for the guys at Motorola.
Back to either getting an OEM device and flash stock on it, or buckle up and pay ludicrous prices for a late launch in Europe with the new Nexus flagships.
The magic 8-Ball answers with skip-year more frequently!
Lol so ironic
People buying Moto for stock Android and fast updates
Moto gives them the middle finger

Samsung and nexus are the only way to get guaranteed updates these days. Just months apart
I thought Moto G 2014 was on the list and Moto X 2014 carrier getting the shaft.

Yea, one of the reasons I decided to re-buy a Nexus. I'd rather give a bit of money to someone who will support their phone and not make me feel like a criminal if I root it. It's still a big corporation that sucks, but I feel a little better than giving money to Moto/Samsung/LG

Seems like OnePlus is getting ready to announce their new phone?

If the rumored specs are true it almost seems like a much better purchase than OPT. It would be on my list of in-case-my-N5-breaks list of phones.

I think I'm done with my Note 4. I don't HATE the phone, but I just want my Nexus experience back.
Is there a good/reliable write up on 5x vs 6p?

I don't know. It's rumored to have an Helio x10. While it's a great CPU, the GPU lacks compared even to a 808. And the issue with the kernel sources for mediatek chips.
Er.. Motorola is doing the same thing with Moto G first gen that Google did and does or would have done. Two year support.
The latter is worse, because Google only has a few products.. Billion dollar company can't afford to support its products for more than 24 months (I think security updates are an additional 12 months).
It's Google who set this crappy standard.
I think LG and Samsung have a much better record of support than Google even with a greater number of products.
And cyanogenmod community is better than all of those.
I never play games on my phone, so the GPU is probably more than adequate; esp, if it's not worse than N5. GPU is probably the least I care about a phone unless it hinders regular performance. It's a skip year imo so to me this looks promising for a placeholder if my N5 breaks.
I don't think anyone has had hands on with either device since Google's conference last week.

Ah OK. I wasn't sure if they did it like Apple. I'll wait a bit and see what sort of things come out. Cheers!

Should just return it and get a 6P.
I don't understand why it's so hard to announce a phone with a release date. It's been 11 days since Nexus 5X/6P were officially announced and they STILL didn't announce the release date.
I have to return my Moto X Pure by tomorrow and I need to buy a temporary phone. I can buy something good from best buy and return it within 14 days, but I have no idea if the Nexus 6P will be out by that date.

So marshmallow on the Nexus 5 is pretty nice. I wish I could root, but so far it feels the same as being stock root with SetCPU set to the bare minimum with screen off. I'm okay with this. Kinda.
