Electronics Time again for a new phone - Page 17

I have the HTC One M8. It's amazing. Best phone I've ever had. Smoking fast.

What about the LG G3? Anyone own that one?

Moto G LTE. Crazy good battery life. I crushed my OG Moto G in a door last month. I got bought three of the LTE version, for me, my Mom, and my MIL. Simply amazing phone for the price ($220 unlocked.)

Waiting on the X+1.

Benchmarks are leading people to believe its going to come with an 801 chip. They don't have to do anything special with it because everything they did with the X comes native on that chip, so if it still has the same experience and bare naked android then it should be a pretty ****ing fast phone.

Just hope with the 805 coming out on the Note 4 and shit that Motorola will still be able to hit that $400-$500 price range.

The 5.5 inch iPhone could be very expensive via full retail.
With a initial retail price of between 999.00 to 1199.00

Rumored specs for the Nexus 6:

Quote:

The Motorola Shamu will not be opting for a Snapdragon 801 chip with Adreno 330 but rather the next big thing from Qualcomm - a Snapdragon 805 chipset with a quad-core Krait 450 processor working at 2,65GHz, 3GB of RAM and the Adreno 420 GPU.

AnTuTu's database has the device under the name Google shamu, which seems to solidify the rumor that this will indeed be the Nexus 6. The device carries a 5.2" QHD (1,440 x 2,560 pixles) display with around 564 ppi for unmatched sharpness.

The camera on the back will be a 13MP unit coupled with a 2.1MP one for the front. Finally the Shamu will be adorned with Android L for good measure - adding even more fuel to the Nexus fire.

Pretty beastly phone. Not sure how I feel about that resolution, though. I would trade that screen for a 1080p and 64gb of storage any day. It'll be interesting to see the retail price on it. I have a feeling it might not be in line with past Nexus pricing.

It's a higher resolution than 1080p.

Thanks for the update.

It's also a battery sucking waste of resources.

Which is why AMOLED is just around the corner. The ability to turn off pixels is a huge resource saver- especially for all these large screen phones / phablets.

Screen illumination is by far the biggest energy user / battery hog. If you go with AMOLED with an inverted scheme / "blackout", the battery savings will be GIGANTIC.

Another + is way better picture, because you get true blacks since the pixel is actually turned off versus generating a black color.

Not really. I have the new LG G3. Had the Note 3. Battery life seems the same so far.

Has anyone considered the OnePlus One

I'll be upgrading from my Galaxy Nexus sometime later this fall and if the Nexus 6 is a lot more expensive than this thing I might give it a shot. My concern is the 1+1 being too big. I could always give it to the wife and take her Nexus 5.
