Just opened up my new OnePlus One. Zero yellow detectable at the bottom (or anywhere), doesn't seem to have any touchscreen issues. Only came with 24% charged, so I've got to keep it plugged in for a while before I can really play with it. Liking it so far though, with the Diztronic Ultimate, it's a comfortable width to hold one handed, although the weight will take a bit to get used to. Much heftier than my Nexus 4.

Galaxy S6, although I'll definitely get rid of stock right away, regardless of how much better Samsung has made it.
[General Topics] force70:
At least the bootie wont be locked on that which is good.

It looks really nice and all but the lack of an sd card slot is pretty much a deal breaker for me. That and the tiny screen...cant go back after having 3 notes.

With the exynos processor there will be a serious lack of development also...that just kinda totally kills it for me.

And i cant believe what sammy is charging for it after they remove 2 key features...taking away features usually means a price drop...not increase.i rarely care about the price of things but it will be over $1000 here in canada for the 128gb version. Thats more than my note 4 with its nice 5.7" screen,sd card slot and removable battery....no thanks!

Even the nexus 6 with a 6" screen is only just over $900 here.

Hi all

I have a note 3, im thinking to buy a new smartphone, my brother have a note 4 and i like it but no more touchwiz or samsung mobile for me.. I saw a lot of smartphones so im confused! I liked the nexus 6 but no sdcard support and some battery complaining from some users make me hesitant. However, after a video in youtube about "oneplus two concept" i think i will go for it with eyes closed, so anyone can confirm the 5.5 inch screen/4K Display/ 4G of Ram/ 4000mAH battery/ Cameras 20MP rear 5MP front? Any info about release date and the prices? Thanks in advance.

Not a bad deal at all if the specs are remotely accurate thats for sure.

If they decide to use that stupid invite system again they wont get a dime from me though. Seriously that was the most stupid thing i have ever seen lol. Im sure they lost out on a ton of sales because of it...

On the other side its better that than go full fledged launch and run out of stock in a day or so like google did with the white 64gb nexus 6. Its just available here in canada just recently..what a joke.

Q: $250 budget phone?

I'm looking for an Android smartphone, with a $250 budget. Since the MWC, I've been researching a few possibilities which should be released soon. It seems that the best 'bang for the buck' phones wont be sold in the US.

I never play games on my phone... Is there a good way I can tell whether a phone is sufficient?

I unfortunately went from my Atrix II, to an iPhone 5 2 years ago. So, I don't really have a comparison to what I use now. I was fine with my Atrix II at the time (with SD card). OS is so inflexible and requires so many more finger touches, it's rediculous. But, that's another story/

Due to some software I need to run, I will never be able to root my phone. As a result, I want a phone where the manufacturer will actually release Android updates. It also means, no "great deals on 1 year old models", as much of its upgradable life is gone.

Also, due to the same software, I need to use an ARM based chipset, not an Intel based chipset. IE, no Zenphone 2.

A) In February, before the MWC, I was thinking of the Moto G 4G (LTE) 2015. In the meantime, the Moto E 2015 was released at $150, with a 4 core processor. Also, the Moto G 4G 2015 released in Europe has 8 GB and not 16 GB like in Brazil. So, I don't think the extra .5" in screen, will be worth $100 to me (somewhat better dpi). I don't see much else different at this point for $100.

B) The Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 5.5" looks great for $250...(octacore, 2 GB/16 GB.) except it's Alcatel. I've never heard good things about them. Also, how is their OS updating? I also think 5.5" may be too large. I'd have to try it out.

Their smaller one has too many sacrifies for $50 less ($200 instead of $250). There's no point.

C) acer liquid jade z - If it's $220 in the US, this is really a big drop over the Alcatel.. Less processor speed, less memory. How are they with OS updates?

D) lg magma - no reason to go here.

Any recommendations between these, or any other phones?

Thanks!

Hey guys

Which chinese phone for around 200€ with the best camera would u recommend?
[General Topics] Planterz:
Moto X 2013 is still worth looking at. Motorola is committed to updating their models. Get an unlocked/developer edition/non-carrier model, and you'll receive quick updates. HTC has also promised updates, so an M7 wouldn't be a bad choice. There's always the Nexus 5 too. All can be had for $250 or less and will be far better performers than the Moto G/E.

The Arubixs Portal!

Jk but the tech is interesting. Completely flexible phone. Twist, squeeze, etc and get this, it has a 13,000 mAh battery! Using lithium polymer (not ion) battery.

Hoping to produce with a year. Saw a live demo on twit.tv the other day.. Nice to see something different.

Won't buy but who knows what this will lead too... Especially battery.. It's not even big, thick and heavy as most would think with a battery that huge.

Currently still using my Note 4 as my daily but may switch back to my Nexus 6 now that LP 5.1 has been pushed out.

Wait for the OnePlus Two I have the One and it's an awesome device the Two is supposed to be even much better.

My wife has the Note 4 ATT nice device for a LOT more money. I personally find it was to big and I have pretty big hands.

Of course this is all subjective since it all depends on what you use your phone for.
[General Topics] Badre88:
+650 $ for a phone full of bloatware and knox to limit developpement!! Why i pay a lot of money if i cannot even customize my phone like i want..!! And if i do i lose my waranty or a buggy phone!! Samsung is like apple = $$!

Amaziiing!! I like such projects.. It gives a new experience with a reasonable price.

Yes i agree, it depends on usage.. But a lot of comments and tests complain about nexus 6 battery life thats why i hesitate to buy it.. Also in my note 3 for exemple i use greenify and appOps with custom kernel to decrease voltage, the best result was 5hours SOT with no games... While i saw a lot of people are very happy with oneplus one in performance and battery life and i think you are one of them.. The think that makes me unwaiting that there is no info about release date and price of oneplus two.

(Sorry for my bad english)

Lol...knox has zero to do with limiting development...a locked bootloader or on the other hand is a killer.

Knox has never prevented me from flashing anything on any of my sammy device's.

In the case of the s6 even an unlocked bootloader with the exynos processor will not be great for development...closed source as we all should know

Id go opo2 over s6. There will be little development for any exynos device and what development there is will be buggy as hell. Its always been like that sadly.

With the M7 and Moto X, there is one other option: root the device, unlock bootloader, install an AOSP rom for latest android version.

Of course, you

need

to do your research before doing any of this (before buying a device would be best). Find out:

- Can bootloader be unlocked & how?.

- Is root achievable & how?.

- Which AOSP roms exist that are stable?....etc

[General Topics] s8freak:
Huh??? What does that even mean?
[General Topics] Planterz:
I can only speak for myself, but I had a Note 3 for about a month. Beautiful screen, replaceable battery and microSD card slot are great to have. No use for the stylus. But it was just a hair too wide for me (when put in a case). I had to sell it because I switched jobs and missed a week or work. I got my OnePlus One the other day, and couldn't be happier. The width is "just right" even in a case, and the screen is plenty big, bright, and vibrant (no yellow band on mine).

As for the OnePlus 2, it'll be a great device, no doubt. If you don't mind waiting several months. Supposedly August? We'll see. Maybe they've learned their lessons and this time the release won't be a complete clusterfornication. My Nexus 4 is still going strong despite being 2+ years old, so I'm confident the OnePlus One will hold its own for quite some time. The only thing that'd make me ditch the OPO and go to the OP2 would be support for T-Mobile's band 12. And/or front-facing speakers.

To be fair, a hurricane can be partially to blame for the Nexus 4's bad launch. But yeah, they seem to repeatedly underestimate the demand. The mis-launch of the Nexus 6 baffles me. Maybe they expected the higher price to put a damper on demand, but that's clearly not the case. And frankly I think that the 32gb version is pointless. The 64gb model is constantly sold-out, so either they're not making enough, it's the only version people want, or both. I sure as hell wouldn't spend $650 on 32gb phone when a 64gb version is $50 more (not without a microSD slot anyway).

Yep gotta agree, this is why or another reason why I doubt I will get or use the S6 as my daily. Exynos just suck for modding. The phone should be quite good (hardware wise) even with no SD slot or removable battery but need the ability and freedom to root/mod easily and for it to work well afterwards and that's near impossible with Exynos.

I was just starting to convince myself I could live with no extra battery and no SD slot (if I got the 128gb version) but forgot about it being exclusively Exynos until now so that about does it.

Too bad

I'm still undecided on my next phone. I'm mostly waiting to see what the good upcoming ARM64 offerings will be - until then I'm still riding out my Galaxy Note 2.

I've had two co-workers get a OnePlus One recently - It will be interesting to see where that line of devices goes in the future.

[General Topics] Paludal:
Having a bit of trouble choosing my new phone.

My current phone a Galaxy S2 is currently acting up and probably on the last stage before catching fire. (sudden battery-drain whit a rather large increase in heat). Making me look for a new phone, I have been rather happy whit the S2 and the way it looks (touchwiz), So I have been looking into another Samsung, Things I must have on it is Removable battery and SD-Card slot, That made S6 not really a choice. Secondly Root-able for full use of Titanium Backup for dealing whit backups and bundle-ware removal, Currently I have been looking on S5, S5 Active and Note4, Note4 was a bit to big. other than the points from the following list:

the S5 vs the S5 Active, other than S5 having USB3 and the Active having USB2, S5 Having fingerprint sensor and Active not having it, S5 having 32gb internal storage option active only 16gb.

Any big things to look out for, Main use would be Calling/sending SMS/Email, GPS/Maps, playing games (Kairosoft, etc), Music thru Google Play so one that can have off-line music on the SD card would be preferred.

I could also consider other phones, and I am appreciating any advice.
[General Topics] 350Rocket:
I would go for s5 if I was you I think, based on your needs and preference. Active could have some good points, but your s2 lasted this long without being destroyed so you can't be too hard on your phones.

I agree on price, but many of us wish they'd start making more high end phones that size again I think.

My nexus 4 and my girlfriend's moto x are much easier to hold for long periods of time than my nexus 5 I had before. That was pushing it for size.
[General Topics] s8freak:
Depends I've had all of them.

S5 great device actually so is S4 but if you search sim card error you'll find a lot of s4 from all have a constant no sim card error message and you have to reboot sometimes a bunch of times throughout the day.

It happened to me and it's maddening actually because there's really no fix. But if you get a good s4 it's a solid device.

I still have both. The S5 is a great phone in my opinion

There are no cons to the note 4, best device ive ever had.

No offense intended here but if you think the nexus 5 is too big you must be a pretty small dude?

Im not a big guy...5ft 11 and about 220lbs, average size hands and the Nexus is just flat out tiny as is my S3 lol. I can text no problem on all my notes one handed also.

I guess it comes down to the individual but i dont see how any average sized man could see a 5 inch screened device as big. A girl yes..my wife is only little..5 ft 4 and even her i phone 6 (dont ask lol) is a bit big for her hands but she loves it (again dont ask i dont understand either lol)

I could never go back to the little screen devices, i want a 6" device at this point lol.

Id happily shell out $900 for a 64gb nexus 6 over 1200 for a 128gb s6 or edge any day. S6 doesnt even have stereo speakers lol..for that kind of money it damn well should do it all.
