Don't get a Moto X if you want good battery.

The battery on my Pure Edition has been very good.

 

[EmiPrime]

Could be a 2 GB and 3 GB model, but like I said, people over react on RAM spec's too much here. I bet that none of you max out 2 GB on devices that use stock or near stock android.

If there is a Nexus model that has 2 GB, I really hope that it's priced competitively.

I know I don't, you can check the average 3h/6h/12h/daily memory use in 6.0 and mine is always at around 1.3GB. All the OS, UI and Google Play Services stuff take up around 870MB while apps take up barely anything.

3GB RAM would be nice as a future proofing thing. I would feel a bit funny about buying a device that has the same RAM as one I bought 2 years ago.

 

[CronoShot]

Quick googling raised one question ... is that 808 somehow underclocked? Shouldn't it be about 1.8 Ghz?

So ... possibly an early unit?

Geekbench reports the clock speed of the A53 cores (the lower power cores) rather than the higher-performance A57 cores. Same thing happens with the G4, S6, etc.

If they really charge 399 for 16 GB and 2GB RAM, then I'm out until the price at retailers drops. What a total sidegrade that phone is.

Not to mention that it won't be 399 in Europe anyway.

I'm using my friends Moto X Pure and it doesn't feel big. At all. I don't even know why I pay attention to these complaints. And the screen doesn't have a yellow tint.

Wtf Bobo?

It gets hot and is kinda janky. My only complaints.

Mine had a yellow tint to it. You can also see it in some comparison videos. It's not only that phone though. The op2 also has it to a lesser extent, but they added color options in the newest update that fixes it.

 

[ArchAngel]

The newest nexus 6 update has absolutely fucked my battery.

My screen on time is 30 minutes, and my phone has been off the charger for 3 and 1/2 hours. I'm already at 70%.

This is what infuriates me about android most. Does Google not have any fucking QA? My battery life was fine before this update. Android just randomly has things fuck up.

The same happened to me after I flashed the M preview 2. Nothing helped, just a reflash :/

This is the type of stuff that's so furitating.

It's Android. A single app install or changed setting can destroy your battery life.

 

[reKon]

Is it price prediction game time?
Nexus 5X:
16GB - $300

32 GB - $350?


If Google when crazy and put the 32 GB at $300, I would buy...

16GB $350. 32GB $400.

Don't get your hopes up.

 

[j-wood]

That too. I had some apps update, I guess one of those updates could be breaking it.

Which goes back to seemingly zero QA for android.

Hopefully the Huwei isn't a crazy price.

Don't get your hopes up.

I know that pricing fits along with what Moto is doing, which is lame...

Janky is the deal with Android.

But you made it seem like it was a Pure problem.

 

[jokkir]

Moto X Play.

So tempted with the battery.

 

[VoxPop]

You guys should just split the cost of the Vertu so you can finally have your perfect Android phone. Send it to one another every other week to use. The 5X is $300 and you guys are complaining about specs -_-

 

[mrklaw]

I want to buy the Z5c, but the Apps/App Store and 3D Touch are killing me. What do I do Android Gaf?!

3D Touch is a nice feature being blown out of all proportion. For a phone, android apps are fine (not so much for a tablet).

If you value a 2-3 day battery then jump on the Z5c. If you value film-flam just because tech blogs are swooning, grab an iPhone.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Moto X Play.

So tempted with the battery.

Isnt the Play even jankier than the Style?

 

[nature boy]

Android phone of the year - Zenfone 2

Pretty much.

This nexus line is meh.

 

[reKon]

Pretty much.

This nexus line is meh.

it's not even out yet..

if you're going by spec's, why is the Moto X Pure apparently janky and my phones/tablets not even though they have "worse specs"

 

[Jazzy Network]

Janky is the deal with Android.

But you made it seem like it was a Pure problem.

2014 Moto X smooth as silk tho.

 

[ajpw]

I have one and I hate it

So janky all of the time

Nexus 5x for me

 

[BoboBrazil]

The Pure has it worse honestly to my eyes and there isn't a way to fix it on the Pure so far. I guess I just like a cooler temperature display.


Just look at this Pure display compared to a normal one

 

[jokkir]

Talking about battery. Probably super janky though

 

[giga]

Nexus 5X benchmark seems to confirm 2GB of RAM, Snapdragon 808, and not much of a performance increase over the Nexus 5 (although with pre-release software, that may change).

That's the saddest geekbench score of 2015. Gonna assume it was throttled to 1.4ghz for some odd reason, because otherwise it's just bad. Nvm four of the cores are clocked at that. Welp.

Looks like the Nexus 5.

 

[Akibastman]

I have a Nexus 5 and I updated Google Photos a week or two ago and lost all my pictures. Also I can't save pictures from apps like Facebook or Twitter anymore. They don't appear in Google Photos and nowhere in the folders when I plug my Nexus to my computer.

Anybody have the same issue ? Does someone know what to do ? Googled my problem and couldn't find anything.

Did you check the device folders from the hamburger menu?

That is almost the same score a Nexus 5 with lollipop has. I still don't want to believe it's such a disappointment.

 

[Toki767]

Guess Nexus people won't have to wait too long.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Guess Nexus people won't have to wait too long.

for a second I thought that was the 5x and 6p launch dates before I realized that's not possible because none of it makes sense and I know 6p is 26th.

But yeah nexus users getting that M really fast it seems.

M preview 3 is pretty solid.

 

[soundahfekz]

Fully stock phone, non root. Don't really have an interest in doing that.

Pray that android M makes a difference then

I'd say it's more comparable to the nexus 6. Qualcomm has been stagnant for two years, though that should finally change with the 820.

I don't imagine that the 808 is that big of a departure from the 800 from a benchmark point of view.

The 808 is slower (but more power efficient) than the 810. It makes sense.

 

[EmiPrime]

The LG G4 on 5.1 benchmarks much higher than this supposed leak. I'm not buying it.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

What does the LG G4 get?

Also, benchmarks can easily be faked, and these benchmarks in particular for the Nexus 5X popped up a few hours after the Amazon India specs leaked. The timing could be coincidental, but I find it suspicious.

I'm not seeing it. Multi core is 20% higher but otherwise it's in line.

 

[Vanillalite]

Lmfao at that benchmark having to say (cold) for the only 810 device on the list

Dat Exynos

Real talk, the OP2 with 810 I got doesn't get as hot as the Pure I had with a 808.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

Lmfao at that benchmark having to say (cold) for the only 810 device on the list

That is hilarious.

Also, benchmarks are completely dumb, and mean absolutely fuck all for day-to-day performance. For me, the only thing problematic about those 5X benchmarks is the mention of 2gb RAM again.

About 1100 single 3500 multi

Whenever leaks contradict Android Police (who are convinced it's 3GB RAM) I am less likely to believe them. Their track record like Gurman with Apple stuff makes them trustworthy.
