How's the mini version btw? Trying to find a good anniversary gift and her current phone is pretty crap, but she refuses to use anything above 5 inches.

Funny how these copy business work. When Apple copies Samsungs big screen, or a gazillion features from android in its latest iOS, you dont see iRentboys going rabid and holding Apple to such high standards. Meh, why harp this tired old rhetoric? Fact is, everybody copies everybody. Its not a trait exclusive to Apple or any OEM
There is an "Easy Mode" in the settings, too should turn that on for her.

Why hasn't that six-finger guy gotten his hands on the Nexus 5-2/6-2 and posted a video walkthrough yet? He's slipping.

Why are the specs cut off? Why is it sub-potato quality?
Also, looking at the blog in the watermark, they say it comes in 32/64gb options (YAY!) but... 2 GB RAM (teh fuq?!). Although, for the latter, they do say "to be confirmed," so I'm guessing that spec isn't actually on the rest of the slide.

My worst fear is that Apple comes up with their own wireless charging standard and Qi wireless gets ignored even more.
I'm laughing but really I'm not

You mean Apple inventing wireless charging? Sure thing!
I don't know why, but Apple appears to have problems with things they either can't put Apple before the actual name or rename like they want.
Maybe if Qi allows Apple to call it Apple Qi, could work, right? (Only half joking)

I'm sure we all know this year apple will invent a pen that comes out of the Iphone6s +
Cause no one else has done it!

.Welp, I just pre-ordered a Moto X Pure. I had been waiting for official details about the N5-2, but all I care about is stock Android, fast updates, and a respectable camera. Now that Moto doesn't have to go to the carriers to push updates (which I didn't realize until today), I can get all of that with the MXP.

It really doesn't. It's not great, not pretty, but I don't see how it ruins it. The stupid Nexus branding is worse.
It's the combo of the flash, camera ring, finger print scanner, then nexus branding, then lg branding.
The front is pretty though.

Yeah, the new Nexus 5 might beat the Nexus 4 as the worst looking Nexus phone.

That's crazy talk. The N4 is by far my favorite Nexus design.
It's pretty plain on the front, but the back is unlike any other phone out there. My nearly 3 year old Nexus 4 still looks cool just cause of the back.

You need to be quicker with your sparky remarks, because it was made clear that it wasn't about the logo alone, but how busy the back looks.

Really, it's the back, you aren't going to stair at it all day, if you don't like it just put a skin on it or put it in a case.
Thinking about getting the ZenPhone 2 for my mom so that's awesome.

Some people care about how the things look they spend hundreds on and use every day. Crazy, I know.
And those shitty skin cases are ruined by default, because of the stupid fingerprint reader on the back.

its a good lookin back and serves a purpose at least
Yea there is clearly a Moto logo on there unless you are discarding that for what ever reason.
You rather have:
Smaller camera sensor (to reduce the bulge)
Remove the laser focus
Remove the dual LED flash
Move the finger print to the front (creating even bigger bezels)
Remove the finger print altogether to make the back and front clean - setting back using Android Pay with finger print sensor.
That will give you a nice looking back and much less features. But hey, it will look clean.

I stand by my statement. I've never cared about the back of a phone, if it's comfortable I'm fine.

The Apple conference is pissing me off. I don't understand how people can be infatuated with this company. So fucking unimpressive. Now Apple is making Gif phone.
