Support NeoGAF

[hitgirl]

Lol when the grorious 5-2 is out you'll be selling that too. Book it.

Maybe. If it's $400 or $450 I'd prob pass tho.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Nah, it's still one of the best available, especially for its new price. The screen isn't though.

Ugh. I wish I saw what GAF seemingly sees in this phone. The N6 was Galaxy Nexus-tier of disappointment.

Nexus 6 is $350 on amazon

$350 is overpriced for a year old phone.

Not in the year 2skip15.

I sold my old 5S for $350 last week.

IPhone does not equal Android.

It's what the nex6 should have launched at. It doesn't solve it being an abomination but it could have been a well priced abomination.

Hey, that's a cool deal. I'm sure a lot of people in here will appreciate it.

This is an android thread, anyone excited about the blackberry android phone?

It looks nice.

 

[Reckoner]

Right on. Seriously thinking of the Z6 next summer. (Provided Sony doesn't get out of mobile altogether). Really liking my Z3.

Sony has everything to get on top. They just have to put their shit together.

Btw, it pisses me off that in 2015 I can't still plug my Android phone through usb to my car stereo and have it output audio.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Nexus 6 is a great phone. $350 price point makes it a winner for a buy today. I certainly wouldn't buy any other phone right now.

Nexus 6 or N5-2 for the same price? N6 all the way.

You don't really want to know how much I spent for this guy's Galaxy Note 4 Developer Edition on Swappa

IPhones hold their value longer obviously

Serious advice needed guys. I want a new Android Phone and I'm currently rocking a Note 3 but my microphone has begun shitting the bed.

I am looking into two phones, I'm ATT only. I am thinking of either getting a Nexus 6 or a Galaxy Note 5. The main issue I have is - if I go with the Note 5 it can't be rooted because ATT has locked down the bootloader, and if I go with a Nexus 6 I'm afraid it will be very hard to replace the battery or be extremely expensive. Samsung offers a replacement service for 50 bucks.

Any help? I want an OLED display, and a user replacable battery with a decent camera, but I keep looking at my Note 3 running CM12.1 and realizing it really might be the GOAT.

LG G4? It's IPS LCD but it still looks good. Go to your local store and try it out to be sure.

Granted I can't help you on the root access front.

 

[Wreav]

G4 was my first thought as well.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Note 4?

 

[Husker86]

I'm sitting here using my GS6 in bed, one handed, and I'm starting to dislike thin bezels. Android either needs better touch rejection, or...I dunno. Thin bezels are so damn good looking, but not very user friendly.

Y'all must have killer data plans to stream all of your content.

i don't know the meaning of under 25GB a month in data

Let it warm us with its chipset but not burn like its rivals with the 810, amen.

If you want power on par with a 801 processor get the 808.

Looks just the same as before, so that's a news story with nothing new in it. They should just leak some information about the damn battery so I know if this thing is worth buying - or if I should upgrade to a flagship Samsung and put Cyanogenmod on it.

 

[Junior Mint]

We already know the battery is 2700 mah.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Mmmmm I want that damn phone already.

pretty reliable leak says 2700mah for a 1080p battery. Should be solid with marshmallow.

 

[LostMyNarbles]

Checked back a page but didn't see anybody mention it. Latest rumor from Reddit is saying 2620 mAh battery which is pretty close to the AP 2700 mAh rumor.

1080p
808 Snapdragon
2700 mAh battery
3GB Ram

Pretty much everything? I'd say its probably accurate as most Nexus leaks are this time for year.

That's the minimum battery, I think, so the 2700 mAh is true, most likely.

Android police has been right about just about everything for the nexus 5x so I'm inclined to believe it too.

I really like the look of it.

And that mans only 16gb and 32gb versions

Get the G4

I knew it was gonna happen if they stayed low price. Ah well.

I think this looks fine

 

[kami_sama]

I understand why there is a 16gb version. But why don't they give us at least 64gb on the premium version?

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

That camera being an ant hill is the only issue I have with it tbh

 

[……forgetit]

Do we know if it has a microSD slot? You can use cards as internal memory in M.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I don't mind it. I think it looks better than the S6 camera hump.

 

[kami_sama]

I don't think it has one. How many years since a nexus device had one?

 

[……forgetit]

I don't think it has one. How many years since a nexus device had one?

I figured it would because of the actual functionality. Fuck that if it doesn't

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Google hasn't done MicroSD for a long time.

 

[Nikodemos]

I don't mind it. I think it looks better than the S6 camera hump.

The fact that Sony's midrange phone has a humpless 21.5 Mpix camera shows how crap most hardware manufs are at industrial design.

I must have missed it. I don't read

So it is slightly better than my current Nexus 5 - looks like I'm making the switch. Old Nexus 5 can go to my parents.

I would say it's more than slightly better.

Better camera (with laser autofocus)
1 whole extra gig of ram
+400mah extra battery capacity for a slightly bigger screen (and more efficient OS)
fingerprint scanner + type C

The battery is the only thing that makes it worth the switch from the old Nexus 5.

Still, 399 for 16 GB is a bit shit.

Oh, and what about the rumored metal frame? I haven't seen it mentioned in a while.

Yeah according to the OnleaksxUswitch leak it was supposed to have a polycarbonate back with a metal frame. We haven't heard anything since. Would be nice if true.

Metal frame is for the N6, hence the ugly big black plastic camera hump. The 5 won't be metal.
