Bboy AJ
My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I feel like I've heard this news before.

I'm still thinking on going like BBoy AJ here and "vote" with my wallet. Because I really like the phone and I think they deserve some praise on what they've been doing on the smartphone front. But it's hard when you also have the money for an iPhone.

we have to believe goddamnit
always vote with your wallet. Nobody owes anyone anything or should make excuses for any company. And when ______ does something you like, go back to rewarding them
Just give it a couple of months for the dust to settle and you'll know what to do!
Shame about the lack of wireless charging and USB-C.

has calmed down a bit.
Unbelievable. As soon as I buy a different phone. Wow.
Are you serious?
100%
The phone itself is awesome. IOS isn't
I mean, this isn't some incredulous statement to warrant shock...

Thanks for the impressions on your android phone. This device is on my radar to replace my dying note 2.
Mine failed to install the update, and when I went to check again it shows that damn 24 timer bullshit.
Can't wait to be done with this phone.

Mine updated. Some icon changes, Samsung Pay is there but doesn't work yet. Should I factory reset? I have one week before my next phone gets here, I'm willing to give it one last shot, I love the screen and camera.
Are you aware that an hypothetical iPhone with Android would work like crap right? Not for demerits of the OS but because it's optimized differently, you would have a slow phone that can't multitask nearly as well that lasts half the time that it does on iOS.
Do not kid yourself unless you do some heavy modification on how the OS works Android on iPhone would be pure trash and if you go the long mile to do these modification it would be less of a pain to just use iOS or modify it to your liking.
Yes, I understand. It's more of a reference to how the iPhone is a perfect phone for ios and with android there is always a compromise on every phone.
The phone wouldn't be slow though, the processors that Apple makes are legit, the memory and battery would be less than ideal.

Um can you list stuff they have so we don't recommend phones they don't offer?
Samsung, LG, Moto X, then wait for Tuesday and see what you get there
They pretty much have most of the phones of what I am aware. They have a huge phone section with tons of phones. Samsung, Huawei, Sony, Microsoft, HTC, Alcatel, Doro, LG etc. All of their top phones as well.
I have ruled out the HTC M9 because I want a good camera for when I go on vacation to Spain soon.
I'm thinking of the LG G4, because it is supposed to have a good camera, and I like removable batteries, but I'm worried if that is the cause of my LG G3 dying.
None of he phones really impress me though, but I need a phone as I have none.

If you are even considering an iPhone, shouldn't you wait for next month when they come out in Spain? But yeah, share with us the phones they have available.
If you liked the G3, the G4 is algo good and it's cheap. You can also look for the Moto X Pure. But if you need a transitional phone, I would recommend a Moto G 2015 2GB. Good performance, great battery, and only ~$200.
But I'm not considering an iPhone. I have a budget for all the other phones though.
Yeah, maybe I should look for a transitional phone till something else comes along.

Artem confirmed that the 6P has a 3,450mAh battery. I'm starting to reconsider my 5X purchase...

There's a reason the title is what it is.

Fleksy users. Is there a theme that makes it look like the Material Dark Google keyboard?
As much as I would like to have the 6P, I really don't want an 810 device.
That battery size is great!

If I didn't mind big ass phones I'd easily get a 6P. Looks like it's going to be a great device.
Boo ya!

Guys....I was determined to make this a skip year, but the 5X is gaining on me, what are the chances of it working on Verizon? I'd say it's basically a crap shoot.

Damn that's nice. Gotta see how long it lasts now. Glad to be wrong on my guess if true.
Yeah, but for me, coming from a 4.5 inch phone, I don't think it's going to go well, there's also budget constraints and (most probably) no wireless charging.
With the 810, it has to.

the 5X has the bands to work on Verizon. The FCC leak confirmed it.
I think these are the basics I want:
32gb internal
MicroSD card expansion
Great battery (after having suffered with the G3 16gb)
NFC (for mobile payments)
Fast processor
Superb camera (it is one of the most important things to me)
It might be nice with a smaller phone this time and fingerprint scanner is interesting but a bonus. Wireless charging would be nice, and Qi charging isn't necessary.

5x
Well, yeah, but we're talking about the 6P
The 5X looks like a great phone, ticking (almost) every box for me. Only thing I'm not sure on is the ram. For I'll trust androidpolice, but until Tuesday, we won't know.
No phone has everything. The play has everything but the fast processor. The Pure has worse battery life, although compared to your g3, I don't know). OPT lacks NFC. 5X and 6P will most probably lack SD card support, etc...
So basically it's a 2100mAH battery then.
Amen brother, I hate the screen on the current N6
So for the Nexus gafers, would you like it if Google would offer a lease service on Nexus devices? Say they give us higher specs (better hardware) at a higher price but you pay a monthly installment. And you get the chance to upgrade every year, but your installment price stays the same?
They might be doing this with Google Fi down the road...who knows.

Well the OnePlus 2 has 3300 mah battery and only gets around 4 hrs sot. That's with an underclocked 810 and 1080p screen.
I don't know. Nexus phones have a greater lifespan due to Google providing direct updates and users that are willing to tinker with their devices. Samsung could do it, their phones being locked, though.
Eh, id rather they make a small compromise and keep the price lower... But honestly until they add something like ATT into the usable network in Fi, it's not a feasible service to me.
Ultimately I'd rather see mediatek catch on to give Qualcomm some real competition

At least an accurate non shitty one? Don't use Samsung's 2012 leftovers
Have just been looking at all of the phones. They don't have Motorola, so so far it gotta be between the LG G4 or Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. I didn't get to try out the Z5 which I wanna try first.
They both have great cameras, batteries and MicroSD ports. Unfortunately the Z5C only has a 720p screen.

Verizon could still block it though, right? Wouldn't be the first time for them.
And 2GB of ram, and while some think it is enough, I think it's necessary for futureproofing.
I think the Nexus 5 had the necessary band, but was blocked by verizon.
