[Q] BIG phones; Are the 80's coming back?

Anyone out there know if our devices will reach the mass they had in the 80's? It seems every new phone with nice specs is BIG. I may have to go without the dual processors and front face cam and stick with the reasonably sized DInc.
this is not a joke. I really am wondering. 4" + screens are nice but...

What kind of devices, from 80th you say? What features were those devices? Then correct to compare the modern devices to computers 80th, but not phones.

I wish that could happen but don´t think so....
I remember the great dimensions of the great HTC Universal!

Quadrant is just an app that benchmarks your phone. Or simply put runs a series of tests on your phone to determine how fast your phone can perform tasks. It tests GPU, CPU and how efficient your phones ram is along with other things. It will then provide a score for how well your device has performed the tasks. The higher the score the better.

i get also scores >6400 (stock), whereas my friends (stock) galaxy S3 gets only 5800. I kow benchmark scores does not really say anthing about everyday-use-performance but also in this area i prefer to use the One S and can say it is indeed more fluid than S3. we can say the One S is the best phone <4,5" ..
HTC did a well done job in releasing such a powerful phone which does not have sizes of tablets but a comfortable easy to handle 4.3" screen. I hope they release Sense 5 soon, and i am waiting for the successor of One S with same dimensions but higher pixel density and higher battery-capacity.

I'm on Twisted Kernel OC'd at 1.9GHz and I'm only getting a 4k score. When I was on ViperOneS, I had a 5.8k score or something. Not fair :x

when it comes to benchmarks, for me stock was always the one with most points. does not say anything about overall performance tough

What's the best option to buy

Hi
I would like to know your opinion about what's the best phone to buy with 270$=220€=160£.
I would like it to has Android 4.2 and if possible, I would like to be able to update it to KitKat when the OS is launched.
The phones I saw at this price only have 512Mb of RAM, but I think it is too weak.

No its actually like 7 inches/17cm

I would recommend the Motorola Moto G . There are a lot of positive reviews.
the verge review
pocketnow review

I think that is too big to be in the paints pocket.. I was looking to a 5 inches max

It seems to be a nice phone! The only thing i don't like is that it doesn't support sd card

LG l9 2 is a good choice imho..
It's not quad core like the moto g but it has some very good feature and the lg's customization is realy good..
Lg said It is going to get 4.4 on february

[Q] Nexus 5 2015?

Guys I am really interested in your opinion for the new Nexus 5 2015 version. Would you want it and would you buy it? Personally I would be delighted if google makes another Nexus 5 with updated specs and fingerprint sensor with USB type C so it has fast charging like S6 has. The design can be the same, just little bit thinner and more "modern". What are your opinion guys? Please don't hesitate to post your opinion as it matters. Maybe if google sees this thread they change their mind and make another beloved N5
Here is one amazing concept made by Miqdal Abdul Halim

"Concept" renderings and projections are a pointless waste of time. Exynos 7420? It's already been stated that it'll have a Snapdragon 808. Dual front-facing speakers? I'd welcome it, but LG hasn't made any phone with that yet, so I'd doubt that. AMOLED? Unlikely. It'll probably be the same screen they put in the G2. I also wouldn't be surprised if all the buttons were on the back.
But yeah, I'm definitely interested in this new Nexus 5. As long as the pricing is more like the old Nexus 4/5, and not the 6, and the camera doesn't suck.
If I were to cave in to all this fanciful wanting and wishing that pervades this "concept" nonsense we're always inundated with every time a new flagship is rumored, I'd hope for a microSD slot. Android M apparently will once again have the ability (without root) to move apps to external storage, meaning we don't have to pay unreasonable amounts of for storage upgrades simply because we want to play Asphalt 8 and Game of Thrones on the same device and have enough space left to take a few pictures.

Zenpad S8 great hardware at a good £££

I decided to purchase the 2gb ram version of the zenpad S8,the 4gb ram isn't available in UK .....yet....
The 2k display is gorgeous especially when watching a 5gb MKV files like The Avenger's on it,smooth and not stuttering. 32 gig on board and a slot for a micro SD card is a great bonus .
Hardware wise is quite solid ...thin..light ,compared to my aging N7 feels premium.
Unfortunately the software is super bloated and I was forced to disable and unistall as much as I could to make the tablet a bit more lively.
For the £200 price I think is a great buy ,the hardware as a lot of potential, I like the new type c charging port a lot,no NFC isn't a big deal in my opinion.
If the xda ROMs developers jumps on it with creating custom ROMs this tablet should fly .
And let not forget the front facing speakers.... They sound great.
Any questions please be free to ask.

So,I have a Tab S 8.4 and I wanted to know if I should get it or not. I'll get the 4GB one though, how is the battery life and gaming performance of your tablet? I use my Tablet way more than phone. Thank you

Games run good ,battery last me all day between the usual browsing... Social network apps....and video playing ..,
Like I said a lot of bloatware that need to be disabled, only running 5.0 so battery could be better if on a custom stock lollipop rom or marshmallows.
Let's hope Source Code gets released.
