[Saygus V²] Sam K:
I feel the same way about the 5.5" screen size and the Samsung buttons vs the on screen buttons. I'm still holding out hope for the Saygus but I'm not sure how long I'm willing to wait. By the fall I believe we'll see devices with the Snapdragon 820 which will hopefully address the issues with the Snapdragon 810 and by then it may be hard to stomach getting a phone with the 32 bit Snapdragon 801 from early 2014 at a somewhat premium price.

I wish the Android phone manufacturers like Samsung and LG would realize that (from what I've read) Apple sells more 4.7" iPhone 6's than 5.5" iPhone 6 Pluses so it's obvious that people prefer the smaller one over the larger one. And the 5.5" is 1080p resolution and I don't hear anyone complaining that it's not good enough. 1080p is more than enough in a 5" screen and helps increase battery life over 1440p and doesn't push the graphics processor.
[Saygus V²] No1VIPER:
Can't decide what to do... Now the price of the Oneplus One 64gb has dropped to £219 and it's available without invite. Should I hold out for the Saygus V2 (that may never materialise) or just go for the Oneplus One, and except that it won't have some of the features of the Saygus V2?
[Saygus V²] hella356:
I guess it depends on how desperate you are to upgrade. My Galaxy S4, although battered, is ultimately still sufficient for my needs. I took a shot at the G4 because the tremendous freebies on offer, but I can wait on the Saygus without much angst.
[Saygus V²] No1VIPER:
I wouldn't mind waiting a bit, but it's the lack of information about when it will actually be available. I'm still somewhat sceptical that it actually ever will.

Found a Z1 compact for $255 new on Amazon so I ordered that, it has everything I need in the phone and at this price I can tolerate Sony's terrible customer service.

Thanks for the tip.
[Saygus V²] vertigo_2_20:
I got an HTC M8 the other day and while it's lacking some features, overall it seems to be pretty good. I meant it as a holdover for a few months until Fall, but I may end up using it longer. I also finally got a chance to play with a G4 yesterday, and it does seem to be easier to hold and handle than the G3. If push came to shove, I think I could manage with it alright, and if something were to happen to my M8, I might give the G4 a go. I also really like the dual window feature on it, seems to be set up really nicely. Just not sure how many apps it's compatible with.

Lenovo Vibe Shot - has 5 inch screen, 3gb ram, Android 5, quality camera. Available on grey import, apparently Amazon US offers this now too.

Good price, I don't know much about Lenovo's Android skin, question marks about the Snapdragon 615 SoC, apparently suffers from similar heat issues as the 810?

An interesting and unexpected contender? ;)
[Saygus V²] vertigo_2_20:
But, it's Lenovo. I've had nothing but bad experience with the company and the laptop I bought from them. I steer clear of the brand. Just my 2c.
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
The Amazon page for this phone "4G can not use in USA". That's a deal breaker for me.

According to some rumors (link: www [DOT] omgubuntu [DOT] co [DOT] uk/2015/06/first-ubuntu-phone-with-convergence-is-being-made-by-bq) the second version of "ubuntu phone" from Bq will be a quite powerful one, running hardware built entirely with Ubuntu in mind, with in a "convergence" mode: turning into a PC workstation when keyboard+mouse+display are attached. I hope they won't forget adding a decent camera with optical stabilization as well, which would make it a universal take-me-everywhere absolutely badass phone. Should be announced around October this year.

For Ubuntu it will be the apps that can make or kill it. I love the BlackBerry but some apps cannot run on it and it's a burden. The Z10 I had was great for battery life, way better reception, great camera but a few apps couldn't be ported properly and for that reason I sold it again.
[Saygus V²] hypoPLAsm:
I got my refund for the V2 and bought the Meizu MX4 Pro. No regrets so far. I payed 350$ for the 16GB edition - I know, its not really an alternative to the V2 for the most of you (bigger screen, less memory, not waterproof...), but for me it has some pros: Very good screen (2K), a dedicated audio chip, a very good functioning fingerprint sensor, and a (imo) more appealing design. Thanks to the decent battery I'm able to stream my music from the NAS, so I dont need more memory. Additionally, it took 200 bucks less. Overall, I got that going for me!:)

[Saygus V²] Freaky Beanie:
There's more? I saw that yesterday. Unless I'm blind there are no CPU spec's.
[Saygus V²] vertigo_2_20:
There's not much of anything about the phone. As of right now, it's disturbingly similar to the V2: lots of talk but that's it.
[Saygus V²] No1VIPER:
This is exactly what I thought.
[Saygus V²] hypoPLAsm:
The Axon looks exactly like the good old HTC One XL.:confused:
[Saygus V²] t3chfan:
There is suggestion on the interweb that the Axon is another sub brand of ZTE, which means that it is likely to eventually exist, though the lack of firm specs at this time suggest we're a good few months away from seeing it at least.

Don't know why ZTE would release a further sub brand when they already have the excellent Nubia devices.
[Saygus V²] phixeus:
I'm not too excited about another pre-order debacle but still this phone looks pretty sweet. It does have quite a bit of overlap with the Saygus offering. Have a look at the Turing phone for yourself. and see what you think.

http://www.turingphone.com/
[Saygus V²] No1VIPER:
It's not going to be cheap. "The Turing Phone will start selling on August 10th priced at $750 for the 64GB model and $870 for the 128GB model. A 16GB version is also in the works, but pricing isn't available yet."
[Saygus V²] vertigo_2_20:
I first saw something about this probably 2-3 months ago. So who knows when it will actually be available, if ever. And between the high cost and other reasons I don't remember anymore, I wasn't all that interested when I looked at it before.
[Saygus V²] No1VIPER:

[Saygus V²] Mackks:
That thing's so ugly.
[Saygus V²] orangekid:
If that Axon has any development I'd be all over that thing, don't see it though. I'd rather get a 1+2 that has the same specs (except maybe resolution?) and will have tons of development..
[Saygus V²] vertigo_2_20:
Pretty sure this was already mentioned a couple pages back. And between the 5.5" screen (not to mention qHD), 32GB non-expandable memory, and non-removable battery, this really isn't that great a phone IMO. Certainly not what I'm looking for in a phone.
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
I was just looking at that one today because a lot of blog posts popped up about it. For $450 it's an excellent value but it doesn't have a microSD slot and it only has 32gb of built in storage. Also it's not water resistant and it's a little big for my taste.

Where are the phones with 5" screens with great specs? Maybe the Nexus 5 (2015) will be exactly what I'm looking for.

CNET Review http://www.cnet.com/products/zte-axon-pro/
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
It's great that it can record 4k video but with no expandable memory and only 32gb of built in storage and no microSD slot, recording long 4k videos is out of the question.

BTW it's not qHD resolution as in 960 x 540 pixels. It's quad HD resolution as in 2560 x 1440 pixels which is impressive but is a battery drain.

On another note the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 is on sale today for $199. I wish I could merge the Alcatel and Axon phones together. Take the 1080p screen, microSD slot and nearly stock Android of the Alcatel and take the processor, RAM and cameras of the Axon and merge them together.
[Saygus V²] No1VIPER:
I finally decided to pull the trigger and ordered a Jiayu S3 Advanced.
[Saygus V²] Cullenator:

[Saygus V²] No1VIPER:
Yes it comes pre-rooted. I'll try and do a mini review once I get it and try it out.
[Saygus V²] t3chfan:
Just because I'd been looking forward to getting a new phone since Feb and it doesn't look like I'm ever going to see a V2 in the wild I took an easy option and paid about £75 for the Elephone P6000.

Not that I'm in any way suggesting it is an alternative to the V2, or even that it is anywhere near as good as my Xperia Z3 Compact, I just wanted to buy a phone!

In all honestly I'm gobsmacked at how much you can get for your money these days by going Chinese OEM, sure it is a little rough round the edges (camera quality seems pretty poor) but I could sell my Z3C and be close to £150 up, then wait to see whether the rumoured Z5 Compact is announced in September.

Like I said, it's not an alternative to the V2 in the traditional sense, but it is an interesting curveball.
[Saygus V²] TonyStark R.I.P.:
It will be interesting to see what the Huawei version of the next Nexus device will bring. Info on it is slowly being leaked.

moto x style vs oneplus 2

Hello

I still have my order for the v2 but slowly starting to think about cancelling because of new phones coming

one of the rason i wanted the v2 was all the features you have for the price and the wirless streaming.

anyway i was thinking about the oneplus 2 (if i manage to get an invite) or the moto x style.

i dont like the big screens on both, moto x has sd slot , fast charging, nfc

oneplus2 usb type ios on the camera

non removable batteries (grrr)

both of them have some features but don't have others but i guess for the price they are i am ready to do some comprises

what do you guys think about them?
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
It really annoys me that almost every high end Android phone has a screen 5.5" and larger with the exception of the Galaxy S6. The new Moto X doesn't have OIS or fingerprint reader and the new OnePlus Two doesn't have fast charging, NFC or microSD memory card slot. Both have compromises but I'd probably choose the Motorola just because they're a more established manufacturer and I wouldn't have to deal with that OnePlus invite system.

I really wish that Motorola had made 2 versions of the Moto X, one with 5.7" screen and the other with a 5" 1080p screen. I never expected them to basically take the Nexus 6, make it slightly smaller, add a couple of features like microSD slot and water resistance and upgrade some components like the processor and camera and launch it as the Moto X.
[Saygus V²] hella356:
Yeah, it's gone from 5', give or take 0.2", as the standard-sized flagship phone & 5.7" or so phablet, to 5.5" as a phone, with many phablets around 6". It's great to see so many choices, but the problem is the concept of a top of the line phone that can be used with one hand seems to have been abandoned. I've still never found a phone more perfectly sized than my Galaxy S4, & the list of potential contenders as a replacement, at least in the US, is now only the S6, to me.
[Saygus V²] Stijn Maller:
This analysis is spot on! I want to replace my aging S4 but am unable to due to no suitable devices on the market. The S6 is indeed the only option, but that stupid glass backpanel has put me off buying it. (Feels ackward and I'm sure the phone wouldn't survive many drops either.) So I'm stuck awaiting every flagship anouncement only to come away disappointed every time another phablet hits the market. Luckily the mid range is finally catching up to the S4 specs so I'm hopefull we'll soon have some options. Today's announcement of the Sony Xperia M5 certainly looks interesting! Ticks many of the boxes Saygus did.
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
The Sony Xperia M5 certainly looks like a good option except it doesn't appear to have OIS. The only question I have is the performance of the MediaTek Helio X10 (MT6795) processor. I've always preferred Qualcomm Snapdragon processors but their recent overheating problems with the 810 has made me consider other options. The second link below shows they'll have a model that supports all the US LTE bands, model E5606

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-m5/specifications/

http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/e5603/whitepaper_EN_e5603_e5606_e5653_xperia_m5.pdf
[Saygus V²] Stijn Maller:
According to http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-m5/specifications/ there is an image stabilizer, strange that it is not mentioned in that whitepaper. Looks like it's also missing wifi AC though, which makes the device another no go for me. :crying:
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
I'm surprised that the lack of AC WiFi is a deal breaker for you. Why is it so important?
[Saygus V²] Stijn Maller:
Because where I live there is loads of interference from my neighbors, certainly in the 2.4 Ghz spectrum. Since I've taken refuge in the 5 Ghz spectrum by installing an AC router I've seen a dramatic increase in both signal strength and speed on AC capable clients.

Another alternative that I've got my eye on is the HTC One M9 Plus, which releases in europe at the end of the month.
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
The Sony Xperia M5 supports 802.11a and 802.11n which means it should be able to connect to your 802.11ac router on the 5 GHz band.
[Saygus V²] hella356:
Lack of AC is a negative, but not a huge one for me. The bigger downsides of the Sony (for me) are only 16GB built-in storage (32GB should be the minimum, even with an SD card); the archaic large bezels - same sized screen as the S4, but a fair amount wider and taller, even than the S6, which has a bigger screen; no replaceable battery; sharper corners than the Samsungs - I briefly had an LG G4 and it was uncomfortable to hold for more than a few seconds; on-screen buttons, which eat up screen real estate. If Samsung had retained the SD/battery of its predecessors in the S6, that would be a slam dunk for me, but at this point I'm just hoping they bring those back in the S7 & keeping my S4 until then, unless something else suitable arises on the market.
[Saygus V²] Sam K:
Good points. I keep forgetting that Sony loves the huge bezels. I don't know if they're trying to copy Apple in that respect or they think that's what people want. I don't know anyone that wants a larger phone just to have larger bezels. I need to go do a size comparison of the Xperia M5 and other phones on phonearena or phonescoop.
[Saygus V²] shaxs:
My feelings exactly! The lg g2 was prefect form factor me. Frame disappointed in the new moto x size.
