I'm really tempted for a z3 but I just can't help wanting the nexus 6 and all its Google goodness lol. The z3 is on T-Mobile now and is even a little cheaper than nexus 6. Main reason I'm holding back on z3 is because my bro has a z2 and z3 doesn't seem much better than his z2 so might as well get a z2 for cheaper. What I did hear is that the z4 is supposed to release early 2015 and is gonna be the start of yearly released instead of 6 months and it's supposed to have crazy specs and even better design. Obviously these are all rumors and lots of wishful thinking but It would be awesome if it's true if for some reason I don't get the nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] VOLTAGEROCK:
I didn't compare the z3 to the z2 online yet but 3100mah battery 21.7 mp camera. Wireless charging built in. 5.2" screen. 2.5mHz 3gb ram. 16GB internal/up to 128 GB expandable. Is the z2 that close?

Also I thought the z4 was going to be a tablet. Am I wrong? Also what I was reading said that the sony is as close to the non bloat ware like Google we're going to find out there. The guy at work had it for Verizon. Unlocked full price is around the nexus 6. I really want it but I just set up the n5 wireless charger in my car and I love charging while driving with no worry at all of the phone falling off. Incredible magnetic hold. Sony: no magnetic hold :(

[Nexus 6  General] abdel12345:
Yep. The specs are pretty much the same. They say the screens a bit better and the speakers are on the front of the z3 instead of the bottom line z2 but the rest is the same. Especially if you get the Verizon one. Verizon changed the z3 so that it's pretty much a z2 body with z3 specs. Not sure why. But anyways that's how it is. And z4 could be a tablet and phone. There's a z3 phone, compact version, and a tablet. There's also a z2 phone and tablet so why not have a z4 phone and tablet. That seems likely based on what they've been doing
[Nexus 6  General] Richieboy67:
I watched some of the reviews today and man I want that thing. I think that nexus 6 is awesome but I've only had my g3 for a few weeks.

I an tempted though to sell this and I love this g3 too.
[Nexus 6  General] Jfree3000:
Be careful, the boot loader is locked on t-mobile. I was watching the z3 as well but once I found out about the boot loader it's the N6 all day!
[Nexus 6  General] Raiden350:
Hope this phone will not be much sold, Google will understand that most of people doesn't want a 6 inch screen and doesn't like when the new Nexus costs 2x the old one...
[Nexus 6  General] dtroup64:
Careful on the z3... check out the issues folks are having with the camera. Software issues, and a problematic "pink circle" in the middle of every shot.
[Nexus 6  General] Renosh:
Unlocking the bootloader also screws up the camera quality. Sony really messed up with the Z3
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
Not only from the software. The phone has outdated hardware. All flagships are coming with better specs. Was thinking about getting the z3 until I realized it was outdated before it even came out.

Sony is clueless. Their old "W" series phone were awesome.

[Nexus 6  General] tyvar1:
Yeah, I didn't understand why Sony released a new phone with old hardware, so weird!

I'm sure its been said.. But I laughed so hard at you goobers who insisted, and almost argued the fact the device wouldn't be called the Nexus 6.. :p
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
Same must be said than for Motorola aswell, they have released the Moto X 2014 with 2300 mAh battery and Snapdragon 801 SoC.

Howver...

´What I dont really understand, appart from the increase in mAh in newer phones is why people like you think that new specs are good or even necessary?

2-3 years ago, new specs meant alot. More ram, more battery more display fidelity. Now, they dont mean alot.

But then, better for us budget hunters, less popular phones get sold at amaizing prices
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
Because better specs is better steps in technology. If specs didn't matter, no company would move forward.

Why would I buy a z3 at the same cost of a nexus 6 when the nexus 6 has more power spec wise and a updated screen resolution?

If specs didn't matter, people wouldn't ever update PCs.

Sony thinks like you - specs don't matter. Sony also won't sell as many z3s as they'd want either.

G3
[Nexus 6  General] mwedo:
Sure, it's basic knowledge that every single person is upgrading to the highest possible end. There's no entry level, mid range etc. Only $3000 configurations (starting point).

Same should be with phones. Seriously, those damn brands with anything less than Snap 805 and 3 GB RAM. How could they?! Forget battery life, camera improvements etc. Bare specs are all it matters. Snap 801 is snailing your UX like it's some old single core @ 600 MHz that used to struggle with Froyo. And you can't even play Atomic Bomber with that weak POS Adreno 330, meh...

Uh. Listen.

If a company such as Sony releases their "flagship" and it's the same specs as lgs 2 year old g2 flagship and charging current flagship prices, it's a problem.

You can buy whatever you want. I buy top specs. Why would I buy a flagship that's not really a flagship?

And there's no need for your smartass type of reply either. "Meh"......

And honestly the 801 is trailing in this day and time for a flagship.

Its only a problem to those that care. If no one buys it then it goes back to Sony and they can see they failed. There are those outside of XDA and outside of tech community that just buy things because it interests them. They don't know what GPU or " last years specs" mean. By that logic youre saying I should just dump my n5 that runs perfectly fine for the n6 just because its running better specs?
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
Was thinking 1 year upgrades. Forgot I do every 6 months. Still a year old phone the g2.

And do I leave bread crumbs where I walk? Maybe some just follow my posts.

Nexus 5 is worth dumping. I ran that phone for around 5 months and I thought it sucked.

For the same reason you would buy a Moto X over a LG G3, features and hardware/software issues. The LG3 is a great device, except that the QHD screen eats its battery faster.

have a look at this article:

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/lg-g3-1250581/review/4

You believe that the increase in screen resolution is a good thing.

However, consider this. Specs got a bump, display got a bump. But the battery technology is the same, the technology is from the 1980s. So the phone with throttle and rarely if ever get used at its max, as is the case with all mobile SoC.

I am more concerned with QHD than a faster processor because you can throttle a CPU and not notice a difference, but when you get a QHD screen, well, you are screwed.

Thats a bold statement. I dont think people update their PCs often. That is why the PC market is very slow compared to tablets and smartphones. Most people who update their PCS, ie buy new GPUs or Motherboards + CPUs do with the newest generation releases, do it because they either want the best specs or becasue they want a gaming PC for the next 3-5 years.

PCs arent exactly smartphones. You can change your GPU in a PC if your motherboard and powersupply can handle it or is compatible. To top it all off, a PC from 6 years ago can do all the things, maybe except gaming, that a new PC in 2014 can do. I got a 6 year old PC, dual core athlon with 2 gigs of RAM. Runs great. Not to mention that because of gaming consoles, there is hardly any reason to update a PC as even an old PC can play most of the Newest games, provided it has a good GPU and processor. I have personal experience with this.

Specs, even in computers, dont matter, that is why even if you get ani5 or i3, you are very well suited as those things can do everything. I am not much of an AMD fan, but they have good processors aswell and they are certainly cheaper and you can build a gaming rig with them aswell and much more budget friendly.

Specs matter when you are dead set to get a 4k monitor and find out that your GPU cant handle it and you need Dual Nvidia Titans to play Call of Duty on it.

Maybe, but the real reason they probably did that is because a 3 month release cycle is hard to maintain.

I like sony truth be told but only because of their phone design. I have an aversion for round phones and prefer devices with sharp edges, even if they are not ergonomic.

That is not to say i never owned a round phone, as in every phone is round nowadays. I just dont like round edges.
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
Same battery tech from the 80s? Aren't we in the nexus 6 forums? I think the battery has some new stuff with it. I've never had a phone that can give 6hrs for 15min.

G3
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
Yes we are, so? Is mentioning another device such a no no here? The nexus 6 has premium specs and I am very interested to see once it comes out,to see how it performs. Its a hot topic. I am going to get one in the future, that is if the prices go down.

LiPo technology, Lithium polymer battery technology is from the 80s:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery#History

I am also interested to see if the 6 hours screen on time they claim is true. Pretty sure its only true when you are not making extensive use of the GPU or CPU. As in the G3 case, a nono would be watching videos, well, lets wait and see.

i am certainly excited. At least its not a overhyped apple product and I know what I can expect from it, just wondering though,
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
Same technology but way way more advanced.
[Nexus 6  General] Richieboy67:
I just wish the nexus 6 had a removable battery. This is probably why I will stick with my g3.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Even a heavy user should be able to get 8-10 hours of use on a full charge and then top off in under 30 minutes for another 6 hours...... It's gonna be better than a Note 3 and with that device it lasts me all day until I get home with 20~30% to spare.... and you just plug it in......

Sometimes I wonder if people even know what it's like to NOT have their faces GLUED to a phone 24/7.
[Nexus 6  General] monkeypaws:
Exactly. I remove pages on my g+ that post battery screen shots or benchmark shots. To me that was hot back in 2011. I used to care about rooting and running benchmarks. Then I realized no one outside XDA cares. Not my wife, not my friends, just XDA. I spent too much time caring when stock ran just fine. This was from the g2 to my touch , sgs, sgs1, 2, and 3. I got sick and tired of rooting to remove features than I moved to the galaxy nexus, n4 and my current n5. Android has evolved so much that in my opinion it doesn't require root anymore. My n5 has been stock and has stayed stock out of the box. All this again is my personal opinion and experience. So why am I on XDA, well because I still have a passion for tech and learning about what's out there. So no I won't be trashing my n5 as lollipop will give it more life. No point in dropping $600+ on another phone when mine works just fine to have to do that again 6 months or 1 year later. I got out of the rat race years ago.
[Nexus 6  General] Richieboy67:
Yes but that also depends on usage. Also it comes down to device life. If I hold on to that phone for a couple years the battery will probably be the first thing to show wear and it would be nice to just be able to throw a new one in.
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
Can't relate. New device every 12-18 months...Never seen a device lose ability to hold a charge in 12-18 months.
[Nexus 6  General] Gorgtech:
Well, time to face the truth. R.I.P Nexus, with no Nexus 6 or Nexus 8 / 9 or whatever it might have been called, this thread will have to be locked :crying: Maybe Android Silver will be the next "Nexus" line but at a higher expense. You may get better devices with premium hardware and build quality but at the same time, fast and next to stock Android Firmware without massive framework adjustments eg. Touchwiz, Sense etc.

At the same time I hope that the GPE devices will also be available outside the US..
[Nexus 6  General] FrankyDoodle:
Man, seriously.

Last couple of years all phone releases were done in the Fall, why expect no new phone when Google doesn't release one during I/O.

Besides that. They didn't release a new Android version, they presented us with a preview. Why would a company release a new device running old software while showcasing the new software. That's like Apple releasing a new iPhone during WWDC while showcasing a revolutionary beta version of iOS.
[Nexus 6  General] skinzy98:
Did anybody forget that there are TWO nexus codenames found on the bug tracker. I definitely think that they'll at least leave us with two nexus devices if they do actually shut it down.

As for the Nexus 6. It really looks like there won't be one but I, for one, sure hope there is. The 5 is my first Nexus device and I don't want it to end when I just got started.

I don't think it was googles fault at all. Evleaks was the one who got everyone in crisis mode with the two tweets he posted. But everyone turned it into a google thing.
[Nexus 6  General] hikarugo:
Lol this false rumor about nexus shows up every year. Evleaks got it wrong too last year with the rumor "nexus 5 is actually a G2 variant" and people believed them. I'm surprised that people still believed them this year just bcs he is mostly trustworthy for phones except Nexus. There was used to be a rumor that Moto X would replace Nexus last year and Google would create 5 nexus phones from each major manufacturers 2 years ago.

There was a rumor that google would reveal nexus 10 along with nexus 5 last year but it didn't happen. There was a nexus 8 rumor earlier this year and it was believed to be released in Google I/O, which is not true.

People now believe the rumors about Galaxy S5 prime, HTC one prime, and other phones with prime name from every manufacturers as the phones which are even more superior than flagships. In fact there are no phones at all with "prime" as the name until now. These rumors actually started since back then when Galaxy Nexus was rumored to be named as Nexus Prime.

Moral of the story: Don't trust rumors. They are mostly opinions or wishes. Trust leaks but judge it on your own.

only 5.2" screen..im already used with 5.5" wont go lower than that
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
Was right there with you, with lack of updates from Samsung with the note 2 decided to go with Nexus 5. Now I have one m8 and nexus 5. So far 5 inch screen hasn't been an issue. I mean hey the note 2 just got kit kat how cute. Meanwhile the nexus 5 and m8(GPE) will have android L(olipop) (technically we have that already on the N5) by the fall
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
u know i dont care about updates as there will be leaks for example google play devices still havent gotten the 4.4.4 update..those are just leaks that u are seeing floating around..2k/4k devices need to have at least a 5'5" screen or above..there is no point of having a high resolution with a small screen..non nexus devices will probably get android L at the end of Jan 015 but some ppl will get it sooner if google decides to release the sources
[Nexus 6  General] :
Any phone that is bigger than 5.2" will never be bought by me. And I have large hands. Just too big. I have a tablet already. I'm not carrying a phablet around with me everywhere I go. ?
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
the n6 will probably be the same size or taller than the g3 with a smaller screen..the huge bezel on the bottom kinda makes it ugly
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
My m8 has had 4.4.4 for a week. And updates do matter. Sure there are custom Roms but Roms always work better when their is an official update. Look at the gnex, they had to wait a while before they got a stable kit Kat rom and that had everything to do with the fact that Google dropped support... Considering how this a pretty big update I doubt we will see stable roms from phone that do not have an official update. My guess is only HTC sense and Motorola will have an official update by January that isn't nexus or GPE.

I don't need a 2k phone to be honest considering my TV is not 2k I think I will do just fine. And I would love a 7 inch phablet with super slim bezzle but for now I am happy with 5 inch phone.
[Nexus 6  General] hello00:
the n5 got the update like a week before the google edition devices..and there was already a rom running 4.4.4 like 2 or 3 days after the nexus devices got their update and as far as i can tell there werent any problems whatsoever..i remember when i had my m7..i didnt have ny issues when flashing unofficial updates..where do u think the leaks come from? they come from the insiders so it is basically the same thing but unofficial..not only htc and motorolla..samsung devices like the s4..s5 and lg devices like the g2..g4 will also get them by the end of Jan..2k and 4k display are the future..my monitor is already 4k
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
As stated GPE devices get updates a week behind the nexus. And obviously if an official leak comes out than its the same an official update. Leaks don't always happen and if a rom is being built from source it's best to have an official rom which actually makes custom roms more stable and reliable.

2k/4k maybe the future but at this time is not a huge deal. I would argue that the improvements would be negligible even on a relatively small 7 inch screen. When they become the norm and all flagship's will ship with them

As someone who loves big phones, I have a hard time believing the mainstream will move much further beyond 6". Maybe 6.2-6.5 as screen technology evolves and the need for bezels lessens but I highly doubt we'll get to the point where people are using 7" or 8" cell phones - those are inarguably tablets and probably won't fit comfortably in the front pocket of all but the baggiest of jeans.
