[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!

The Best Sub-$200.00 Phone Is Not The Moto G. It's...

Let me tell you about a deal..
Right Now in the U.S.A. @ Wal-Mart you can purchase the Alcatel Fierce for $129.00
MediaTek 1.2 Ghz Quad-Core.. (One-Click Rootable took me 2 minutes)
4.5 inch display
5.0 mp Camera with Flash
4.2.2 Jellybean..
And best of all.. You get to make your 32Gb SD Card your *Primary Storage*.. just select the option in settings:

No messing with foldermount, stickmount or anything else.. Stick in your SD Card select it done...
Adjust your Developer Options, run Nova or Holo and this 1.2 Quad-Core is very fast
Not benchmarking.. Real World Fast. I took it into a T-Mo store to compare it to the LG-G2 to decide if I wanted to get the LG-G2 to match my G-Pad 8.3
or keep this deal.. I'm keeping this deal for sure. Forget Synthetic Benchmarks, side by side, negligible difference.. certainly not enough to warrant spending $500.00 more..
Will it get any development here? Maybe, Maybe Not. Time will tell.. At $129.00 vs $199.00 for the 16 Gb Moto G is this a better way to go?
For my money, Yes the Alcatel Fierce is a steal of a deal..

Nice deal, however the moto G has KitKat, of course it depends on each persons use but still. About the processors, mediatek processors are good for normal stuff but wud lag in games or any other stuff. There are other phns in this range as well but no doubt this deal is very good

[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.

Hello friends. You may be aware of the Next gen Nexus 5 is manufactured by LG and recently in NEWS.
This is really unbelievable to see that the Next gen Nexus 5 has scores 85,530 in AnTuTu benchmark results.
See here for more info:
Google Nexus 5 (2015) AnTuTu benchmark result
As per some sources the highest ever AnTuTu was scored around 55k and was on a Samsung Exynos 7420.
Although the SoC of the latest Nexus 5 is not known but rumors says that this could be the next gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 820.
Share your thoughts.

Honestly, if this is true, don't expect the next nexus to be even close to a budget phone like the original n5 was.

Yeah definitely this.
Also, I am offput by the Nexus after my nexus 4 and all of the people I know that had them. 2 years and the phone just starts to capitulate, turning off constantly despite the battery being charged and the screens break way way too easily (1 foot drop onto lovely soft carpet :crying.

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.
