Have had my Nexus 6 as well for a while but still on Note4 as my daily.. I really am addicted to the stylus..

But I now have LP 5.1 on the Nexus so I am testing it out to see how it handles now.. First LP, not so good

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

Like force said.. It *should* be a hold of the left recents capacitive button. If I remember correctly that worked on S6 when testing but might not have tried.. Should work (like it is on Note4)

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

At least you're thinking 128gb..only way to go with S6..need the space but the other reason (and almost no one States this or even knows) is because it has the new Samsung UFS2.0 emmc in it which is MUCH faster and good on battery.. It's the new standard to come.. Just like SSD's in a pc.. Fast and efficient!

I'm just waiting for my dealer friend to give me one.. An open box I can use for a few months and if I want to keep it $500-$600..no matter what it won't become my new daily

After using 4.3 DesireHD, 4.7 One X and now 5.0 One M8 which is pretty big for its screen size, i think i am phablet ready now. :D

And considering, M9 is suffering from S810 issue and less battery compared to M8, it's out of option. Sony keep on pushing new flagships fast but still haven't resolved camera overheat issue. G4 isn't out yet.

And samsung just keeps on improving its note series every year, makes me tempted for note 4.

Improved looks, better battery, improved camera with OIS, S805 is stable issue free SOC, 1440p screen should make up nice for pentile matrix.

Have used both G2 and M8.

G2 for better battery, bigger screen in smaller footprint, more MP camera for daytime shooting.

Software isn't responsive as M8. GPS was crappy too.

M8 has snappy software, UP camera helps a lot in indoor/night shots. Awesome speakers too. GPS is one of the best i have used till date.

Loving it! Especially after getting root (ASUS has a lot of bloat).

I ended up getting the 2GB 32GB model (ZE551ML).

Positives:

- Price

- Responsive and snappy (I'd recommend trashing the ASUS kb for the lollipop one, as it's laggy as hell for some reason)

- Decent battery life (was expecting it to be a lot worse)

Keep in mind, I don't game on these things at all, just use them for phone features and to browse. As for the camera, haven't really used it much so can't really comment on it. The volume buttons being on the back are a little strange for me. And the build quality is obviously not as good as the M8, but it's very acceptable (I'm pretty picky when it comes to this). The back is faux brushed metal (I kind of cringe when saying that), but it's solid and not creaky at all, thankfully. The phone has some decent weight to it as well, which adds to its solidness.

If you don't have unrealistic expectations and on a budget, I think you'd be happy with it. If you want tons of gimmicky features, a 8,000 PPI screen that will burn your retinas out on full brightness, octo cores, etc. - you may be disappointed. IMO, smartphones reached their hardware peak a few years ago and most new features introduced are unnecessary. I usually look at battery life, responsiveness, phone/call quality and build quality, first (I probably reached ultimate happiness with my M7). I think the M8 has this one beat on battery life, and build quality because it was metal - but I actually prefer this for calls and signal.

Tl;Dr, awesome device for the money.
[General Topics] MrTooPhone:
The ZE551MLhad impressive specs. 2 GB versions seems priced right. The 4GB versions is an additional $200. If they only made a mini version.

You believe smartphones "reached their hardware peak a few years ago"!? Not sure what world you are living in but it's not this one.. Whether you use the performance or not is fine but to say the" hardware" peaked a few years ago is just blatantly wrong..

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Thanks for the detailed info. Yeah I don't care about getting the latest and greatest. I care more about if the price is right lol. Since you have root do you know if you can under clock the processor.

developer support, aka good CM, Omni or other ROM support

Either >=64GB Flash or 8GB & uSD card support

Barely bloatware filled to none

a/b/g/n and 5GHZ WiFi support

NFC

Qi Charging

Also, can it not be a Chinese ripoff with guaranteed lollipop support?

Moving away from my Nexus 4 is going to be really hard :(
[General Topics] zelendel:
To answer your question. Most perfessionals use their phone mostly for calls and some email. A phone will never fully replace a pc. Anyone who thinks it can needs to have their head examined.

The main people that use their phones for games and social stuff other then text and calls are mainly kids.

High end specs are wasted on an OS that can't take advantage of them.

[General Topics] Planterz:
Moto X 2013 was available with 64gb, but they're uncommonly on sale (few were made) and would likely be used. USB OTG is always an option if you settle with a 32GB model.

Again, Moto X 2013. HTC M7 would fit the bill too, although you'd have to flash a custom ROM to get a near-stock experience.

[MENTION=5749364]Planterz[/MENTION] how are you liking the OPO?
[General Topics] Planterz:
Well, that one blue subpixel likes to get stuck a lot. I'm past the 30 day "no questions asked" return date. It only shows up if the background is black or dark grey, and it's only really noticeable if you're in a darker room. If it were a red or green subpixel, that'd be different. Maybe I'll contact OnePlus about it. Otherwise, I'll just deal with it. One subpixel out of 6 million+ isn't much to be upset about. Maybe fate will frown/smile upon me and I'll crack the screen and have to get a new one.

Other than that, I'm loving it. I've been using LiquidSmooth 3..2 (4.4.4) with the stock LS kernel, and haven't felt the need to try anything different, since it has all that I could want. Unless the OnePlus 2 is given dual front-facing speakers, I see no need for me to upgrade. If necessary, I'm sure the OnePlus could last me 2-3 years easily (given that my Nexus 4 is 2.5 years old and still going strong).

Besides, my next device will be a new tablet to replace my LG 8.3 which is getting difficult to use because the charging port is screwed up. I'm thinking either the nVidia Shield tablet or Sony Z3 Tablet Compact. The Samsung Tab S 8.4 looks really dang nice, but I have a feeling that hardware buttons on a tablet would irritate the crap out of me. Kinda leaning towards the nVidia since it's easily rooted, gets quick updates, and costs a lot less. The Nexus 9 doesn't really interest me because of the 4:3 ratio and lack of SD card slot.

Although if, in the next few months, the rumored Sony Xperia Z4 Ultra is announced and looks good, I might just forgo any future devices for a long while and get one of these. 6.44" screen, 4gb RAM, SD810, and .224" thick. Presumably it'll have dual front speakers, microSD slot, and be waterproof. And hopefully they can trim down the bezels compared to the Z Ultra.

ETA: I checked the CPU bin of my OPO, and it's a 9. Looking through the thread, I only saw a handful of 10's, several 9's, and the majority were 8 or less. So I guess internally my phone is in pretty good company. Theoretically I could undervolt it to save battery or OC it to boost performance, but it's probably not worth the bother. It's fast enough to play any of my games without a slowdown despite an explosion or car crash, and battery life is more than long enough to get me through a 11 hour shift without plugging it in, so I'm not going to bother messing around with any of that, apart from some governor profiles perhaps.

The "X8" with the dual core 1.7GHz S4 Pro on the Moto X should outperform the 1.5GHz quad core on the Nexus 4, if only slightly (Antutu scores are higher). I don't know why you think the screen is worse though, but everybody has their preferences. The AMOLED screen can help with battery life if you use a dark background/theme. IMO, the Moto X is the better phone, if only for the common 32gb storage option. Everything else is only a lateral move or minor improvement, and possibly not worth spending the money to replace your Nexus 4.

What about the other phone I mentioned? The HTC M7 is pretty decent. Sense is pretty far from stock, but there's plenty of AOSP development for it. I don't know how familiar you are with custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod. Basically, they're stock Android with some added theming functionality (that goes beyond launchers), privacy options, etc.
