than as i know don't get note 4 because of knocks(or something i forgot :D it have been long time)

moto x is smaller but nexus 6 is bigger, prices are also diffrent :D so, you have to chose between those :D
[General Topics] Quicksilver7714:
Yeah i know the differences. Its just the fact that i need to get a N6 in my hands to see if its really what I want.

Also I edited the above post but the forum wouldn't let me save it. Some BS about being a new member and not posting more than once every 5 minutes. Last I checked an Edit was not a new post. lol

Any way I digress...

What I really wish Motorola would have made the 2014 X with the same specs as the Droid Turbo. Outside of the large battery, I dont want to deal with a heavily Verizon bloated device.
[General Topics] shubh_007:
Read your requirements. Personally I don't like Samsung and nexus 6 is a little too big. About hardware existing hardware is good enough to handle most of the apps and games. I think software development is lagging behind hardware and till now the available software cannot fully utilise the hardware.

I would suggest you go for moto x 2014. Hardware is latest, screen is big - enough for watching movies and playing games I think, since you are coming from nexus you should like the stock like experience and quickest updates. Good luck and request to delete your new thread.

im extremely interested in moto x too, but sadly there are no moto phones avialable in my country , neither is oneplusone , and i looked at z ultra, had no problem using it ! (or putting it in my pocket)

if its only because of its size, i don't have problem carrying it :)

i love 6inch, i found it to be the perfect spot for me :D amazing for gaming :D

If size and price isn't a problem go for nexus 6 64gb. Waiting is worth.

i guess i will get the 32gb ! as i will use otg for movies and i have 3gb left in my nexus 4 16gb! (with only 3 games !)

edit: now im thinking, im getting 64gb :D

well, price is a problem but what else can i do?:D

even nexus 6 might not be available here, but usually in my country i guess nexus is a different story :D

No sense in paying for it's sister device (the Droid Turbo) that is locked down to suit Verizon's desire to milk you dry whilst ensuring you can't use the phone with any other carrier. That comment stands even if you think Verizon is a great carrier.

There's quite a few "premium" devices available my only suggestion is to go and put several in your hand and decide for yourself which one suits your purpose.

I'm not advocating any one in particular you might even like the HTC One M8 but that's for YOU to decide. Have fun shopping I sure do???

Looking for a good used phone for about 20 dollars

I'm looking for a good used phone or a very cheap one running Android with a slide up keyboard. It doesn't matter what carrier as this is just going to be a music player/game/toy device to play around with. Right now I've got the Motorola Droid and the Kyocera Rise. The Droid is older, cheaper, and slower. The Kyocera is faster, newer, and just as expensive. Should I go with the antique, or should I go with the up-to-date? I don't know if the Rise has Cyanogenmod, but I follow the Rule Of XDA- if it exists, there's a custom ROM for it.

Any help will be appreciated.
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
Here's a list to get you started.

Pay attention to supported radio bands! Some are CDMA others GSM etc

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

I don't understand statements like "the phone will make you feel premium". A smartphone is just a tool. You know, like a screwdriver. Or bike rack.

No microsd or, no removable battery would be a no-no for a flagship device in my assessment. Not so terrible on a budget device (unless another comparable budget device has it). No bootloader unlock or, no root or, no AOSP custom roms would prevent me from even considering a device whatever it's price.

Sadly, if most buyers aren't concerned about (or are ignorant of) functional features, we would all eventually only be offered walled garden devices and ecosystems like Apple, Xiaomi and increasingly Samsung are creating.

Is moto x still good enough for 18k rupees? Better spending 5k more than getting moto g 2nd gen? Or waiting for chinese oems which will launch by year end or early next year?
[General Topics] Mandeep148:
Thanks :) I was talking about moto x 2nd gen, it have same snapdragon 801 and GPU which is in s5, due to touchwiz and different ROM, stock always performs clean and much faster than other especially touchwiz, I have s5 and I admit that its not selling great and not a king, but a good device which have amazing technical features

Also watch biggest tech reviewer Marque brownlee, moto x 2nd gen his favourite device and s5 is not in list(just asking) :)

BTW thanks for suggestion, tell me more things thank you :)

Thanks bro :) actually moto x old one 2013 proved that specs highest spec doesn't matters for best experience, software must optimized, like iPhone..

I also have moto g, if you can expand your budget then you can buy HTC e8 plastic version of m8 and its cheaper also with same hardware, if you like stock android like me, then moto x 2014 is best which I'm using, if your budget is 15 to 20k then you must buy one and only moto x 2013 , it is so smooth and comfortable in hand never lag, for honest review watch mkbhd video,

If your budget is less than 15k then moto g is best...
[General Topics] Stuart Little:
I know bro, and another cool thing for you, if you wanna keep the touchwizz interface where you might be comfortable with than download the Note 4 CM11 theme.

It's amazing!
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
Compared to the Moto G, the 1st Gen Moto X (2013) is a steal at 18k INR. If you can afford it, the extra 5k INR over the Moto G is money well spent.

Compared to all other options in the market, the answer is basically, it depends. If you want (or strongly prefer) a microsd slot, removable battery or water/dust protection then it is perhap not a device to consider. Same if you want a monster 6inch screen. In it's favour are stock Android experience, fast updates up till now (Lollipop is already out), good developer support that is likely to continue and a number of custom AOSP roms.

There are some alternatives however.

As for chinese oems, apart from the One Plus One with it's CM11 and guaranteed developer support, most are likely to be unsupported. Some, like Xiaomi devices (and most Lenovo devices I've seen to date) are permanently locked. You can decide if that is important to you. For me, they aren't even worth considering without unlocked bootloader, available kernel source, on-going developer support and AOSP custom rom availability. It's my device dammit!
[General Topics] shubh_007:
Budget is below 20k. I already have moto g 1st gen. It's a nice device but I can feel the lack of Ram as its just 1gb. Xiaomi is tempting with the Mi4's launch imminent. Also there would be lollipop aosp rom available for it. I know the kernel sources are not released and its a problem with the after market development. I am satisfied with 16gb of internal memory, no sd card needed. Main reason for rooting and custom roms for me is low performance with the stock rom. Screen near about 5". Camera and other features are not so important, the phone should have a qualcomm soc. Is there any other phone I can consider apart from moto x 1st gen and xiaomi mi 4. Can't extend budget. Thank you.
[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
I wouldn't even consider Mi4. No kernel source. Locked bootloader. The AOSP Lollipop rom from Xiaomi is a silly stunt. No source. And likely to be buggy too. There is no hope of developer support or CM11-type 3rd party custom roms. A dead-end device. Had Xiaomi been more open, it would be a great device with great specs at the price. Sad.

I need help choosing a phone

Hi, everyone. I'm a proud owner of a Nexus 5 and I've been buying the new Nexus every year since the Galaxy Nexus. I live in Bosnia, and I've gotten lucky over the past few years with transportation, however this year I can't get it until June so I've been trying to make my mind up between a few other phones I can get immediately. I don't think it's much of an upgrade to buy an HTC One M8, or a Galaxy S5, so I've realized that the best upgrades to my current phone are the LG G3 and Note 4. Are there any other good phones that I'm forgetting?

The Note 4 would be perfect, but I really hate Touchwiz. I'm annoyed by it in every way shape and form. My friend has an S5, which is a pretty powerful phone, and Touchwiz still manages to stutter. If I was to root and flash Cyanogenmod onto the Note 4 I'd be losing quite a bit of what makes it the Note 4, so I'm really torn about that. My budget is around $700 so the Note 4 is a bit out of my price range, but if it's really worth it I could get the extra cash.

On the other hand, I have the G3. I've used one for a couple of hours today and it stutters quite a bit. This is probably because of its software. Would I lose much if I was to root and flash Cyanogenmod on it feature wise? Also, it has a Snapdragon 801 with an Adreno 330, while both the Nexus 6 and Note 4 have a Snapdragon 805 with an Adreno 420. Is there a significant difference in performance?

Thanks to anyone that helps!
[General Topics] papa_Lutz:
[MENTION=6169237]jakireha[/MENTION]: do you know which version of the g3 you had in hands? because the lagging is a known issue to the "small" 16gb version, since it only has 2gb ram.

the 32gb version has 3gb ram
[General Topics] jakireha:
I am not sure, but I'll check tomorrow. The G3 is also substantially cheaper than the other two, so if the one I used was the 16gb model I'll definitely buy it. Thanks for the info.

Edit: I checked, the one I used was the 16 GB version. Probably getting the 32gb version.

[General Topics] MiyagiSan:
As a general statement, your characterization of AOSP roms is inaccurate. Most people pick a stable milestone release and stick with it until the next stable milestone. The more adventurous and volunteer testers have the added option (not available on stock roms including TW roms) of nightlies that may introduce new features or extend existing ones.

Often the stock roms are dangerously buggy and are never held to acount (see the EMMC brick bug fiasco) and it is left to AOSP roms to find a fix and take the blame. :eek::confused:

If you can afford them (or can wait before buying), the Z2 or Z1 are better devices than the Z. Better to wait for at least Z1.

Not at all. Just responding to one aspect of your post. I use TW on a device because it just works so, I can appreciate your point about TW.
[General Topics] papa_Lutz:
Personally i wouldn't consider the z3 better than the z2

Of course it has a slightly better performance, display and is a little bit thinner and weighs less, but it also has a decreased battery in contrast to the z2 which is in my opinion much more important than these really small improvements. anyway you can decide yourself, but i wouldn't pay the price for more or less the same phone, with a smaller battery just because its "newer"

Hi there!

There is already a Moto X available, there are even two of them !

- Moto X ( 2013 ) - More Information Here

- Moto X ( 2014 ) - More Information Here

I assume you like the way Motorola produces his phones so you should also take a look on the Motorola Droid Turbo ( Verizon Locked ).

It's only useable in the united states unfortunately!

Since you like the Samsung's phones you should take a look at the phones below:

- Galaxy A3 - More Information

- Galaxy A5 - More Information

- Galaxy A7 - More Information

All this phones are supposed to be delivering the mid range smartphone market a whole new experience.
