I have about 2 weeks til my Verizon contract ( GS3) is up..I was going to buy the LGG3, but I am really worried about all the threads I have seen where they are cracking. Is this really a problem or just the first run of phones? I may also be switching to TMO. The cracking problem has me looking at the HTC or the nexus 6 now. Anythoughts on the cracking or should I not be worried about it?

Budget phone dilemma

Hi guys,

I'm hesitating between the:

Motorola Moto E (£90)

Nokia Lumia 630 (£100)

Sony Xperia M (£90)

I have listed the main differentiating factors:

Moto E has the worst camera (no autofocus).:eek:

Xperia is the only one with a front camera and flash.

Moto E has the highest res screen (qHD vs WVGA).

Lumia has the biggest screen (4.5').

Xperia has the smallest screen (4.0').

Lumia has the fastest processor and GPU, followed by Xperia.

Moto E has guaranteed Lollipop update, Xperia is officially supported by Cyanogenmod.:victory:

Lumia has 8GB internal, others have 4GB.

Lumia only has 512MB of ram, others have 1GB. Cannot play FIFA.

Moto cannot shoot video in HD.

Xperia is the only one not to have Gorilla Glass 3.

Xperia has 4G:cool:

Xperia looks the best ;)

What are your thoughts on these three phones? Which would you buy?

Is there one I have missed?

(By the way, does anyone know if the Lumia 630 will be updated to Windows Phone 9/10? Will they abandon it like they did with the 7 phones?)
[General Topics] innomi:
If it's only between those 3 fones you want to choose? Take the Moto.

Android L is your biggest win over the other things you have mentioned.

Even with "bad hardware" Android L will make it smooth.

It will be the "fastest" phone between those 3 then.

(fastest in real life! Not on paper!)

Both devices have their own pros and cons. It depends on the user itself. If he likes simplicity, consistency accross OS then iPhone 6+ is the choice. But if the person likes to be in full control of the device thus making it like "new" everyday, then N6 is the right choice. Both phones are great for what they can do.

I, personally, couldn't think of myself using iOS device, it would feel like a jail whereas I'm like a god on my Android device. And that doesn't mean Apple devices are horrible.

I would definitely take the Moto E if I were you.

Not only is it guaranteed Lollipop, but if stock bores you then its likely that an AOSP custom rom will be stable enough for you to flash.

Screen for Moto E is also great for its class, saturation is meant to be great and the pixel density is decent.

From what it sounds like you're quite fussed with updates. If they're important to you, do not hesitate to get the Moto E. I sure wouldn't.

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

I'm also considering an upgrade. I currently own an LG G2 d802 16GB and am considering upgrading to either the LG G3 or the Galaxy Note 3. On the Carphone Warehouse deals I'm looking at they're both equally priced. I'm seriously on the fence here and would be grateful if someone could push me the right way!

Here is my absolute necessities:

-Micro SD expansion. Bigger storage is better.

-A nice feel to the phone. I'm fed up with my G2's slippery plastic back and although both the G3 and Note 3 have plastic backs, I've heard they're textured.

-Lollipop upgrade (with little bloat!).

-XDA Support. Which is most likely to get stable AOSP/CM? I understand that LG are considering supplying bootloader unlocking solutions but development is still in its infancy too. Samsung on the other hand seem to be quite strict with bootloader unlocking so I can imagine there's not going to be much development there.

Here are some preferences:

-I like oversaturation of colours. I like AMOLED screens, but am unsure whether higher res with more realistic colours (as on the G3) is better than the 1080p AMOLED on the Note 3.

-Good battery life. I know both are particularly great anyway.

-High sound quality.

If anybody could push me in the right direction I'd be very much grateful!

[General Topics] hfcobra:
Nexus 6, Note 4, or Droid Turbo? I can't decide.

This is a huge indecision for me. I really have no idea what I am going to get right now due to too many things that I don't know. I hope to get some answered here. Upgrading from a Galaxy Nexus.

As far as hardware goes let's skip that. I know all these phones have the same hardware and any of their cameras will be good enough for me. I am almost sure all of them have a battery that will last me a whole day.

The differences, though, are where I need someone to help me out.

Nexus 6:

Great phone. It is HUGE though. I really don't know how I will like it until I try it out in the store so that is not something that I expect to have answered until release. However anyone who has an opinion I would be happy to hear it. Other than the size and stock Android there is not a whole lot that is unique about the phone. Front speakers sound nice (literally!).

Note 4:

Basically the same phone as the N6 with TouchWhiz. Even the screens are nearly the same to me. Since the Note has buttons I expect that to make up the 0.2in of missing screen under the N6. So I consider their screens the same (maybe the aspect ratio changes a bit from the lack of soft-buttons?).

The thing that makes the Note 4 unique are all of its extra features and of course, the S-Pen. These features and the S-Pen are features I know very little about though. I don't use my phone for work at all, what do you use an S-Pen for and what does it make easier for the user or what does it do that you would really miss if you didn't have one? Other than that I think I can lose the other features since a lot of them are unnecessary, unless someone thinks one is too useful to pass up?

Droid Turbo:

Smaller N6 with a different shell. If I don't want a phablet I'll probably get this. MotoActions are VERY tempting.

I am on Verizon, and I am 6'5" so I don't think the N6 or Note 4 will be too large at all. I have held an iPhone 6+ and I have to say it DID feel quite large, however I reached the top of the screen and pulled down the menu without any trouble. The problem I had was that it was very wide and slippery. While the slipperiness is a phone-only problem, I'm worried about the wideness since the N6 is wider than the iP6+.

So what do you think? What are some advantages or disadvantages of the phones?

My biggest problem with getting a new phone is the Nexus 4. Now that I'm using L and have jumped into the deep end of tweaking and realized I'm a flashaholic, I'm realizing that this phone is so ****ing good that I'm having trouble reasonably justifying an upgrade at this point!

That said, the Nexus 6 will almost assuredly be my next device. AMOLED display for active notifications, a huge battey, a great screen, 4x the storage that I currently have... If the Nexus 5 had a better battery I think I'd be going for that, but the AMOLED for me is the real icing on the cake for the Nexus 6.

I'm also a massive Blade Runner fan, so that kinda ties it all together.

Had my HTC Desire Z for about 3 years but a few days ago it died - just turned off and won't turn on again. It turned out that repairing it would cost me about 90-100 dollars so I refused and decided to get a new phone. Now I have ordered a new phone and I'm waiting for it to arrive. It's LG Nexus 5 - can't wait to put my hands on it ;)

I was also thinking about getting one of those flagship phones like HTC One M8 or Xperia Z3 but I've noticed I don't need such an expensive phone. That's why I've bought Nexus 5.

The only thing I'm worried about now is the battery life everyone is talking about. Is it that bad? I'm going to use it as usual - up to 2-3 hours daily by using the Internet, listening to music or playing games, then rest of the time it's in standby so I can receive calls. So I'd like the battery to survive at least 8 hours daily.

If you aren't a flashaholic then Z3 would be the best choice for you because it's better than the older S5. But if you like to flash stuff then S5 would be the logical choice.

Oneplus one (aka OPO) is only 299$ for the 16 Gb versions. Currently oneplus only manufactures the sandstone black 64 Gb version @ 349$. So purchasing the white 16 Gb version is difficult and almost stupid because of the low price of the 64 Gb version.

As far as I remember oneplus will make pre orders available on 17. november.

After returning my Moto G LTE, I was thinking about LG G2 or nexus 5 until I learned about OPO. I love cyanogen so now am waiting impatiently while Oneplus process my pre order :)
