I'll believe it when I see it. Otherwise, it's like Vanilla during a new Nvidia event.

I fully agree. That said LG seems to be doing a good job of keeping a large battery in there and with a reasonable resolution so with less consumption we might actually see an improvement make its way to the consumer rather than MORE THIN!

Looking like a great chip. That GPU performance is insane

My phone got destroyed so my family all chipped in t buy me a 6P for christmas. They bought it off the the Huawei site instead of Google though. Anyone else get their phone from there? Wondering how long it'll take to arrive.

I got it this afternoon on a 5x
I'm just curious though - since you phone got destroyed, how are you dealing with the loss of all your data/history/media and what not

Read the anand article on the 820. The chip looks fantastic so far with apps still unoptimized for Kyro and it's still putting up great numbers. Only thing we need to know about this chip now is the efficiency of it, hopefully it can maintain great performance as the A9 and 7420 can.
Budget phone of year
Bonus - BLU basically saying fuck you over and over again to Motorola: http://www.newson6.com/story/307141...e-in-the-market-outperforms-moto-g-3rd-gen-in
This shit is just comical. Phone is $99 from amazon until tomorrow. I might pick this up to replace my current back up phone, the Moto E which isn't getting Android 6.0 in the US (but the BLU phone is!)

really amazing phone for the price, only downside is mediatek, would be the best if they used a snapdragon 615
That mediatek blows away the Moto G and any Snapdragon 615.

Thanks for that keep us updated on it's performance. i'm real close to buying one.
It still kept chugging along without any problems last night as well. It seems like the redraw problems are gone thanks to the extra GB of RAM compared to the N9.

The 820 (Qualcomm development reference device) hits over 130K in Antutu:

Pretty impressive.

my music and photos are backed up already. The only thing I'll really lose is my text messages.
The lack of automatic Drive backup of SMS at this point is completely inexplicable.
Grrr.

Nope, it does beat the Moto G and the snapdragon 410 though.
I'm really tempted to just get this to replace my N4 and wait to see what the best phone with an 820 will be next year.
It lists band 12 support, but anyone know whether it actually works with T-mo?
I see.
I lost my whole bunch of funny gifs/memes -all the other photos got synced- but still.ikr. (but does this happen with Hangouts as well)?
seems like I'll still stay with Android. leaning towards the Nexus 6P for now. but the Note5 remains a close contender for me

Well I ordered one of those blu phones. Hope I get it before Christmas so I can gift it. Also got a Huawei P8 lite in that I got for a steal on a Target pricing error.
How is that P8 lite? I thought it looked attractive for a budget phone. Just need to put Nova Launcher because Huawei seems to copy iPhone's no app drawer design.

Damn man Id kill myself if I had to use a N4 in 2015.
The battery life and camera suck, but I'm usually around an outlet at some point during the day, and the camera only became a problem when I had to start taking photos of receipts for business expenses. I almost never take pics with my phone otherwise.
It doesn't really hamper me otherwise.

Seems pretty nice just with a short time of playing around with it. Build quality feels premium. I installed google launcher and it fixes the app drawer issue. I'm not going to use it for an extended period of time because I'm gifting it, but for $59 it's a win.
I was going to ask this in the nexus 6p thread but I think I can get an answer faster here. So I got a nexus 6p and returned it because I was having some issues with it (audio issues and the phone would creak when handling it without a case), however now I got my money back and I cannot seem to re-purchase the nexus 6p?
Does Google block you from rebuying it once you return an item?
Edit: wow it looks like I've been banned from re-buying it...
Edit 2: Oh well it seems like they ran out of stock.

Finally got marshmallow on my LG G4.. Had to use bridge because OTA isn't available.. Country is Finland.
And started trying chromium based browser thats optimized for snapdragon:

Don't know if it's been mentioned here before.

This price is absurd. I'm tempted to pick one up just to play around with it even though it doesn't work on Verizon. If you travel a lot, it's the best dual-SIM traveler's phone I've ever seen at the $100 price point.

It is a pretty sweet deal for that purpose. Hmm.

I saw a video on it and while it does look great I can't help but feel that these kinds of projects just vanish after a certain point.
if they make a version flashable for the C i'll try it out properly though.
Why they put Android on the Pixel C still baffles me though.
I'm debating returning my 5X and rejoining the Moto X family. Finding a few hardware shortcomings with the 5X:
1.) Just one front speaker, and it's tinny as hell
2.) "Ok Google" does not work with the screen off
3.) Nexus'ambient display is too "gun shy" compared to the Moto
4.) Spotty call quality
5.) Even with just a 5.2 inch screen, the 5X's poor screen to bezel ratio makes the Moto X almost the same size, even though the Moto X has a 5.7" screen
But the on the other hand:
1.) 5X low light photos are amazing
2.) Fingerprint scanner is so convenient and fast
3.) I'm on the latest Android, without having to earnestly wait

I ordered that Blu phone last night. I figure that it'll be a small upgrade on my N4 and get me used to larger screens while I wait for the 820 phones to come out, plus I can always use it as a travel backup due to the dual-SIM. It'll also theoretically be getting 6.0 at some point, unlike the N4.
Yes it does... or at least it does for me.
They probably forgot to turn it on

It's enabled.
What country are you in? Stab in the dark but I know it's sometimes a bit funny out of America.
Did you train your voice?
It's enabled.
It's enabled.
Are you on 6.0.1? I just noticed Ok Google detection is not working on my N6, and it worked fine on 6.0.

I have an issue and not sure if it's my Note 5 or all phones are like it.
I just got a FitBit which uses Bluetooth. I never have my Bluetooth enabled in any phone until now.
The Internet on my phone is REALLY slow when I have it enabled. Anyone familiar with this?
