Recently, I've seen a new XDA/Android Podcast Episode 5: “Battle of the X Phones, In Virtual Reality!” I thought about some themes, that they were talking about and I started this thread to say my opinion of new smartphones and everything that companies use in their smartphones to be better. Actually, what do people want in smarpthones really??

I'm owner of OPO, which is great device. Everything I was looking for, I found in this device. Excellent performance and battery life. That's what I'm looking for in combination. I advocate for a big battery life in smartphone, but with not sacrifing performance. I always, and by that I mean always when I get a new smartphone, I root it, unlock bootloader and install custom ROM regarding to warranty. (I know that I'll pay that some day haha). That's because you get freedom with your device with custom ROM. You can customize it your way, perform it your way, use it the way you want. I read somewhere a quote: "This is my phone. There are many like it, but this one is mine." Yes, there are few thousand Nexus 5 phones, or any other brand, on the market. In the production, they are all the same, but when they get in hands of a user, they become a personal "ID" of that person that's using it. That's how I feel about my phone and everyone should too. I hate when people install a dozens of useless apps on their phones and then they complaint to provider how their phone is slow, battery life is awful, it doesn't work properly etc...

So here's my question, "What people actually want out of smartphones?" A great performance, so the phone won't slumber? A great battery life, so it can last up to 2 days, without carrying your charger everywhere you go, like most of my friends in school do? A bigger screen so you can see your pretty face on a larger screen with front facing camera, so you can do you makeup before going out? C'mon, where are people going these days... :eek: The problem with this is that manufactures don't do some high end best in the world smartphone with low price, 'cus every1 would buy it. They lower some part of new smartphone, so the users are forced to look for alternative smartphone when they got bored of the one they have been using. First is battery. In the XDA's podcast video, I've heard that Mario Serrafero used his new Nexus 5X for few days and he's not impressed by battery life. He can't pass 3H SOT in one day... I mean Google and LG wtf really?? I'm very disappointed too. He is comparing a battery life of 5X to 5, which is almost 2 year old phone. By now, smartphones should last 2 days of moderate usage. 50% battery drop a day with few calls, messaging, few emails and some work stuff. That's how big companies should think nowadays, but that's not that way unfortnunately. :( So, when the people say they want a better battery life, I know that bigger capacity requires bigger battery, but do some work companies. Xiaomi Mi4 has 3080mAh battery and it's only 5" display. That's perfect example. New Samsung Galaxy S6 has disappointed me too. My frend gave it to me to use it for one whole day. I couldn't get one day of moderate usage with it. It was dead by 7pm. So, in the fact, every phone has some big minus. Why does it have to be that way?? Personally, I hate Apple. Iphone is amazing phone. They combined software and harwdware really well, but price in Europe is enormus and that's why I will never buy it and never recommend it to a friend. Daniel Marchena said that his Iphone has great battery life and I'm glad it does. That's because he is taking care of it very well. Most kids these days don't. They install some ****ty (sorry for the bad language) apps on the phone like "Install and you'll see who is viewing your Facebook/Twitter account" or stuff like that, and that is what is destroying their phones. Iphone is a brand name and that's why it so expensive. Look and OnePlus. Has anyone heard of them before they released OPO? The answer is no. Today, they are very well know company that delivers high end smartphone known as "flagship killers" and they are doing a great job so far. I divide people at those who know how to use smartphones and on those who don't. I hate when people buy every single year new smatphone that they were waiting a whole year. What's the point of having for example a whole series of Iphones?? If that makes you feel good, then wtf? haha Phone is your character and you should take care of it really well. It will drop, it will shower, it will break, but it will be with you throught your best and worst moment sleeping in your pockets ;) Smartphones are something that became a routine in our lives. No one can live without a smartphone today. And that's why companies should do a better job of manufacturing every area of phone to make it usable maximum by a user and that they don't complain about everything. I know that's hard job, but I hope that we will see these smartphones in nearly future.

I know there are a lot of critics in this text, but that's my opinion. I just wanted to say my stands about today's marketing and smartphone and how some companies don't do good job, but they still earn a lot of money.
