Have you heard of oneplus one? It's cheaper (half the price) and as good as both phones you mentioned. 5.5". The only downside is that you only can get one through their invite system, which is going to be off starting late this month, starting pre-orders.

Get the Nexus 6 -- it's faster than the OnePlus One (which is a great device, but still less so than the Nexus 6) and you won't have to wait for folks to figure out how to put ROMs on it like you will the Galaxy Note 4.

It isn't faster than the OnePlus one.

On paper the cpu looks better yes.

BUT It has to run an bigger screen with more pixels. Wich also will drain battery more!

If you really had searched you would see that the nexus 6 (wich is overpriced Btw!) will be 15-20% below the OnePlus one.

Plus the OnePlus one costs only half of what this overpriced nexus thing costs

4.3/4.5 Inch Cheapish Android Showerproof Phone - S09?

Hi.

I'm looking for a replacement to my smashed Motorola Razr I (XT890), ( which replaced a Motorola Defy) and have been pointed in the direction of S09 , apparently generic, phone from China, which has a Mediatek 6859 chipset ( Cortex A7 quad core, 1.2GHz) , comes with 1GB RAM, 960x540 IPS screen, and runs Android 4.2.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/ALPS...ual-SIM-Card-4-3-Inch-Gorilla/1313757735.html

From what I can tell, it looks very similar to the Lenovo S750, but significantly more ruggedized.

It looks good for the money, but given the generic nature ( i can't find a manufacturer) I'm not convinced about it.

I think it's a good comparison to the Razr I, but not particulary recent.

Has anyone seen a more up to date version of it anywhere, and anyone got experience with this specific phone?

In the UK with approx. £150 budget, so the Z1 or Z3 compacts are out.

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

I'm in a similar boat, upgraded to the Razr I 2 years ago, which I've just smashed. I'd still love a proper uprated Defy, so the best I can see at the moment is the "Generic" S09 phone, but if the S750 is too big it's probably 2 big for you as well.

I've not got the S09 yet, but a friend of mine has ordered 350 of them for his drivers, and has pointed me in their direction.

Any alternatives to Z3 Compact? Cheaper ones, say max 250-300 EUR? Was looking at Moto X (2013) or should I prefer quad core processors?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The Moto X has a unique processor that combines a dual core Snapdragon with a natural language processor and a contextual computing processor, the latter of which take a lot of load off the main CPU. The result is a very fast and smooth experience, despite the unimpressive benchmark scores.

The Nexus 4 is still a very competent phone too, and will get Android Lollypop like the Moto X will. Moto X will get better battery and has a better camera, and a 32GB storage option.

Grab your snacks, this is going be a long one.

So I wan't to upgrade my daily driver from a Huawei Ascend Y300 to something much faster.

I mostly use my phone for gaming, social networking, watching Youtube, checking emails and the occasional photo.

The most prominent of those few things is gaming, I generally tend to play games like NFS Most Wanted, Minecraft PE and Sonic CD, Just to name a few. So I am mostly playing intensive 3D games, This is why I would want things like a big battery, large(Over 5")high res screen, lots of ram and a fast CPU and GPU. So I'm thinking the three best options that meet those requirements are the Nexus 6, Note 4 and the Droid Turbo. I like the Droid for it's near stock Android, huge battery, almost 4000 milliamps and the really good 21MP camera. But the (in my opinion) 5.2 inch screen is a little small. The Note 4 seems pretty enticing with it's 5.7 QHD display, metal where the plastic used to be and expandable storage via Micro SD card. Although I don't really like Touchwiz. The Nexus 6 looks really awesome with that huge 6" QHD screen, stock Android updates straight form Google, front facing HTC Boomsound speakers. I am on 4 bar, full strength and 4 bar, full strength 3G from around 7 A.M to 8 A.M. Then from around 8:20 to 3:40, I am on spotty 1-3 bar wifi and 1(2 if I'm lucky) bar 3G. Then for the rest of the day I'm on 4 bar wifi and 3G. I would really like to know what this thread thinks is the best device for me out of the 3 I've picked, or suggest a device if you want to.

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] psixda:
I borrowed for a month from a friend the S750 so I could test it as a daily driver. All in all it was a good phone, meeting all my needs, but the overall dimensions were the deal breaker. In my opinion the old Defy still has the best screen-body ratio.

As you said a properly upgraded Defy is my dream phone (or the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini with a 4.3inch display).

Hello everyone!

I am currently searching for a tablet-pc for the usual stuff like reading Ebooks/PDF's, Internet, YouTube, maybe a movie. Also I though of using it sometimes for a little work on the go, i.e. editing files like source code, latex (but with a bluetooth keyboard of course =) ). So btw, if you also know a good editor for android let me know, please :) . It should be robust because I will travel a lot with it and I like good support for CyanogenMod/Custom Roms. I do not need a good camera, 4k displays, GPS or LTE.

Btw replaceable batteries are not common for tablets, aren't they?

Nexus 6 v MotoX 2014 v Sony Z3v v Droid Turbo

My current phone is the LG G3 (VZ) ... that I mostly love with the exception that people can't hear me on calls (VZ told me it's a software issue and I have to wait for an "update" to fix). I'm losing too many calls on this phone.

I heavily use the camera and make calls for work, so both things are really important to me. I also use my SD card a lot.

Are the Nexus 6, Moto X 2014 or Sony Z3v the right phones to consider?

Should I consider the Droid Turbo? My only concern with the Turbo is root so I can remove bloat.

Hi,

Looking for advice on my following phone options -

Moto G (2014)

Moto G LTE (2013)

HTC Desire 610

HTC Desire 616

Asus Zenfone 5

I hope to buy something which lasts me at least for 3 yrs.

Currently using the good old Desire S (2011), still going strong with a 4.2 ROM

Prefer a 4.5 inch screen over a 5 inch one. LTE might be preferable, but not a necessity

Moto G LTE and Desire 610 are 4.5 inch (both LTE), while Moto G 2014,Zen 5 and Desire 616 are 5 inch (3G)

Screen resolution of my Desire S is about 250 ppi, which is good enough for me

All except Desire 610(234) are better than this

I do watch videos on the phone regularly, games very few, never the intensive ones.

All have 8 gb ROM, except 616 (4) and all have 1 gb RAM. - all acceptable.

All have 8MP camera, except Moto G LTE (5MP)

Both Moto have 720p video rec, both HTC and Zen5 have 1080p

camera is important for me, as my Desire S also has 5MP, I would prefer to upgrade,

Both Moto and Desire 610 have Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400 (Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7) CPU with Adreno 305 GPU

Desire 616 has Mediatek MT6592 (Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A7) and GPU	Mali-450MP4

Zen5 has Intel Atom Z2560 (Dual-core 1.6 GHz (Z2560)) GPU PowerVR SGX544MP2

I am not sure which will be better among these configurations ? Any ideas ?

Any recommendations ? Any other phones in a similar price range ?

My basic use is camera, watching videos, little bit web surfing. I don't play intensive games.

Thanks

Nexus 6, Note 4, or Droid Turbo?

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?
[General Questions and Answers] TheGamerCatHD:
First of all, thank you for posting this, I'm deciding as well between these three devices and for almost the exact same reasons you are

I also have quite large hands.

I would say go for the Nexus 6, because of things like updates straight from Google, You'll also be the first to get them. Device support, the Nexus 4 which is almost 2 years old is getting Lollipop, while on the other hand the Samsung S3 just got KitKat a little while ago. Even though all these devices are speced pretty much the same, in things like opening apps ,going through menus, scrolling across home screens etc anything running stock Android will be faster. Also you said you we're tempted by things like Moto Voice, the N6 has Moto features I'm pretty sure. Regarding the S-Pen a lot of people use to take notes or draw, but it can be used just like you would use your finger to interact with the screen. If you're a road warrior or someone who is away from a wall or battery pack a lot then the Droid with it's 3900mAh battery is a huge plus, also once again, stock android.

Hope this helps!

Once again thanks for posting this!
