Welp, I mean, I just came back from lunch, and the news just keeps on disappointing.

I would say that the only people that where disappointed are the Nexus 5 owners whom were hoping at a true successor of said phone.

It is clear that "big" phones are the priority and we will never get again another flagship phone 5" inches and under. Those days are gone.
 
So 2GB confirmed ... really cheaping out big time with the 5X ...

Plus the fact that Google ignores the whole mainland Europe, that's starting to make me go skip year or the Moto X Style ... but then again that starts at 499,- € on the german Motorola page ...

Any leaks/updates why the hell i won't be able to get a 5X in Germany, the North Pole or other ... small and unsignificant ... countries? (Obviously sarcasm...)

5X = 2GB

The RAM and storage is a joke.

Seriously, 3GB and 64GB and I would be all over it. It's basically the two year old Nexus 5 with a minor processor upgrade and a fingerprint scanner. That's it.

You all must carry around a ton of porn with you or something. I'm having a hard time figuring out why people need more than 16GB. I've had 128GB SSD in my Computer for the past two years and manage to constantly have music, tv shows, and games on rotation. Learn how to manage your life. Less clutter too.

Not confirmed at all.

That last Nexus 5X "leak" is obviously fanmade/fake.

I hope it's an elaborate ruse to make the 5X look less appealing.
Believe.

I have a 16Gb Moto G and I have to constantly delete things to make way for apps or new music.

slowly realizing the pixel tablet is probably going to be over the price range I would pay for such device, even if it is really nice..

$500 - $600 ?

I would bite at $400-$450 maybe... but that's approaching Surface 3 range...

Okay
 
Fast charging and wireless charging both have their uses for convenience. I don't see why one offsets the need for the other.
fast charging is useful. wireless chargingis lazy. the biggest complaint people had was oh i have to flip it over twice to plug the cable in and thats gone with type-c.

Man, please let me get this thing from mainland Europe too :/ I need a new phone and I'd happily buy this (probably), but man I don't wanna wait that much longer.

Really hoping the UK only thing isn't true.

i tried to get on the wireless charging train, could never get it to take off. I never use it anymore. It will be useful when lots of locations have wireless charging at their tables, etc... but even then, they have adapters.

Music,pictures, and especially games take up a lot of space. Asking people to delete things to make space for new things is ridiculous. However, the beauty of Android is having options.
Sooooo big thoughhhhhhh

Maybe I'll sit get an x play and chug my way into 2016
More like lag your way into 2016.

Yeah, its (apart from the price) the inly thing I don't like from the 6P.

The only thing we'll get from tomorrow's announcement is the price in Europe. I'd love a direct conversion, but nowadays, it's even more than $=€.

Google can stick their stage up their ass. I'm getting a windows phone.


Jkjk. But seriously deciding on a plan B whether it be get something else or nothing till 2016.

Can't you import one from the US? Have a gaffer ship it to you?

They haven't built that wall yet.

Daaaaamn that's pretty bossy. A couple games, a months worth of photos, some video recordings, and some .gifs...BOOM. That 16GB (really more like 12-14 usable) is gone. You shouldn't have to delete shit on the fly to take more photos.
 
I'm getting neither one, but for me, the only negatives on the two Nexii are shit storage capacity and smallish battery with the 5X; potential SD810 issues with the 6P; bezel sizes and no SD card for both, but those are minor.

The new Chromecast and Pixel tablet are what I really want, but I know I won't be able to afford the latter (dat beast-ass Tegra X1!). Also, the Play Music family plan. It's on par with Apple Music's family plan price/value.

I always thought 16gb would suffice for me.

Then the past week I had to manage my storage twice because I couldn't update apps due to low storage. I'm ready for an upgrade.

If you can tolerate the size the 6P is the way better buy.

base 6P $499 gets you

more storage
premium materials
better processor
better RAM
better screen

For 120 bucks more
 
That has to have been on purpose

Well, when was the last time anyone even mentioned Oppo? And now, we're talking about them. Mission accomplished.

Anywho, it sounds like the 5X and 6P will share the same exact camera sensor/module, meaning Google wants to synchronize the camera experience across the two devices.

Hopefully, this means they took the camera quality seriously this time.

LOL.
 
Damn I used quick charging on my New Note 5. Holy crap it's fast. I plugged it in, went to the bathroom, checked back and it charged 20%.

Apparently the fast wireless charger is pretty darn good too. Btw, just a heads up in case you’re unaware, if you activate Samsung pay you’re eligible for a free flip case or wireless charger. Dunno if it’s the fast charger though
