Galaxy Note 2 for me. Also heard that smart phones will have the graphics and the processing power of the Xbox 360 and ps3.
But the possible ban on Samsung devices has got me thinking maybe I should pick up the $50 Galaxy Note.

There will not be a ban. If there is it won't last long. It's all about money.

Yeah...but LG makes crap quality products when it comes to phones...I only hear bad stories when it comes to.LG phones

Idk It has the new true HD IPS display where the screen comes right up to the glass. Snapdragons latest quad core s4 chip. 2 gigs of ram. 13mp camera. I agree, in the past the build quality isn't great the plastic cracks and the chrome finish peels off and it creeks when your holding it. My wife used to have one. It was ugly.

HTC: Rumored Nexus 5 based on DLX: J Butterfly, DNA, Butterfly

GSM Arena is reporting this is being developed based on the DROID Incredible X (pictured below) & will be one of the five new Nexus (named for its 5 inch screen) devices coming this fall
The device is said to be running Android 4.1.2 — which includes bug fixes, Project Butter improvements, additional lock screen functionality and other tweaks — and is said to be equipped with a 5-inch 1080p full HD display and a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. The company’s first phablet will also feature “a super slim design” and a large 2,500 mAh battery, 4G LTE connectivity, up to 64GB of internal storage and a 12-megapixel rear camera.
Based on this Verizon variant [DNA]: 1080p (1794 x 1080) quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor, 4G LTE, Sense 5 and HTC Scribe active pen support (to compete w/Note II) but will come w/only 16gb & no microSD card slot or removable battery
DLX: DROID Incredible X also being referred to as One X5

Only 16Gb and no SD on Verizon, boo. Otherwise this looks sick, would also prefer a bigger battery too, upwards of 3100 mAH

I would buy the Nexus 5 by HTC, it looks so sexy!

If its pricing is as good as the Nexus 7 then maybe

Looks pretty nice, honestly wondered how long it'd be before HTC released a Note competitor. Do admit I have a soft spot for HTC's design, let's hope it looses the Beats branding as a Nexus device though

I really doubt the phone in those photos will be a "Nexus". (it has soft buttons)
Still, it would be nice a Nexus with that resolutions

thats the Verizon variant "Droid Incredible X"

nothing about that phone is nexus from what I see. htc one x 5 does not have the nexus name in it. isn't that clock widget part of htc sense? and that app drawer button doesn't look right. this isn't a nexus. and besides, even if it is ... I will NEVER buy from verizon. isn't the galaxy nexus on Verizon still waiting for jelly bean? the Verizon galaxy nexus isn't a real nexus IMO. GSM unlocked phones all the way ...

I hope that is nut true. The galaxy note is to huge and the next nexus should not be bigger then the G3 imho.

never said it would be...just posted the pics from that leak since it will look similar & have the 1080p 5 inch look...nothing is official for any of these devices yet.......all just speculation

Has there been a rumored launch time frame from anyone? Q4 2012? Q1 or Q2 2013? I was looking at getting a SGNII but then I saw the rumored specs on this bad mammajamma and it was the first device that made me second guess the Note II. I really like htc designs and would love this on Sprint with unlimited data! My full upgrade has been available since April and I have just been waiting on the "right" device.

I don't think this phone is gonna be the next htc nexus. I expect a htc nexus with soft keys.

CPU-Z details from the Moto X leaked, every spec about the device known* +SCREEN SIZE

*only detail is the processor, that's only an inference at this point
UPDATE: h̶t̶t̶p̶:̶/̶/̶v̶i̶m̶e̶o̶.̶c̶o̶m̶/̶7̶0̶2̶5̶2̶6̶0̶0̶ (<--- video was deleted) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5od8fBK2biA theres a video of the user USING the Moto X to do a CPU test and compare it to other processors. It ranks next to Snapdragon 600s strangly enough. I like the boot animation personally....
UPDATE 2: h̶t̶t̶p̶:̶/̶/̶v̶i̶m̶e̶o̶.̶c̶o̶m̶/̶7̶0̶2̶5̶6̶9̶4̶0̶(<---video was deleted) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMoAl6MnB5c Holy F, this phone is FAST! The user also posted a video of the ALWAYS-ON voice command. You activate by saying "Ok Moto Magic, ________" . In addition, the activation hotphrase can in fact be changed, the user confirmed. I've also never seen any Android phone in existence open Chrome that fast.....
UPDATE 3 and 5 https://plus.google.com/109021179357601394175/posts/ABZ3QuNHxCX
Rogers Wireless made a video about the Moto X's voice command controls, and somehow it leaked! And the method for quick camera access
UPDATE 4: Motorola teases a camera that will be able to capture moving subjects without blur on their twitter! https://twitter.com/Motorola/status/356098053318537216
UPDATE 6: Added pictures PROVING the screen size is 4.7 inches!!

Apparently these screenshots were taken by "some dude" on an AT&T Moto X, to a friend, who then sent them to Brian Klug, a senior editor for Anandtech.
Here are the screenshots:
The phone probably has a Snapdragon 600! Or something similar, because I don't honestly think an S4 Pro could perform that well. Maybe Moto's baked something special just for us!
This will be updated as soon as I obtain new information to add

Chrome was already opened recently. It wasn't a cold start; it appears exactly the same way on my Oppo Find 5 and HTC One if I have the tab opened recently.

How does CPU-Z actually ID the hardware? Is the CPU specs ID'd by CPU model number or are they placeholders in this case because it is an unreleased phone?

From what I understand, it actually knows the exact hardware. I mean, worst comes worst, you just download cpu-z and try it on your own device to see if it matches up. I wouldn't think they're placeholders

It seems this is some kind of S4 Pro to me but somehow it's optimized really well.

See that's what I'm thinking, motorola somehow optimized the hell out of the OS and hardware to make it fast as lightning!

It has the same hardware as the EVO LTE, only more RAM. It's not even a 1080p screen.

An Evo LTE wouldn't benchmark like that. If they've done something special hardware/software wise that's something awesome and will probably keep the costs down.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

No volume keys?

Comparing the Moto X to an Evo LTE? This thing is benchmarking with Snapdragon 600's, and its going to be really buttery and smooth! You must be crazy to think that

Did you even see the benchmark numbers? It kills the EVO. Since it is not a 5 inch screen, I don't see why you would need a 1080p screen.

[Discussion] What phone do you wish you had?

i have always wanted to tear into a Nexus One or a Nexus S i dont care about teh specs
what about you guys? what phone have you always wanted? old or new it doesn't matter.

I really wish I was repping that Nexus 5 (or 4 2013 apparently) or Note 3. Gotta save your pennies!

Definitly the Galaxy Note 3.
I don't want a phone under 5.5 inches and without pen anymore.
I would love to see the Note 3 with 6.3 inches (like the Mega) cause I really love this size for a display but this didn't happend at all.
So I've to wait for Note 4 or Note 5 or Note 6 (every year 0.2 inches more since the first Note)

I would like to have a Galaxy s4! But it costs too much for me, so I'm going to keep my s2

I would like a phone with great specs and a "small" screen:
Something like a Snapdragon 600 or 800 processor, or A9.
At least 1GB of RAM, the more the better.
At least 8GB, better 16GB of internal storage.
And a screen of 4.3", no more. I think a great resolution is 1280 x 720. I don't think a better resolution (1080p) worths it.
And a metallic cover (no more plastic, please).
In top of that, I'm short on cash, so I need a phone which isn't very expensive.
Impossible, I think.

Good

i wish i had samsung galaxy s2......bcoz dis phn has got plenty of development......

Wish I had a Star Trek communicator but meanwhile, I'll settle for an Android Moto X with
external Memory, 5 inch screen and at least 3 Gig/ram.

I wish I had a nexus 5, or a nexus 4

I would have loved to have owned the Nokia N900. Looking back at it meego didn't really take off, but I would have liked to have tried it for myself.

Moto G4 Plus Indian Users

This is a thread for all Indian users out here.
Let us discuss more about the delivery, other competitive phones in this price range, about Moto G's hardware and software and more, updates, queries, doubts, accessories, covers, cases, etc.
Additionally, I am also thinking that we can create a WhatsApp / Telegram group to stay in touch.
Would anyone like to volunteer to be an admin of the group?
I am too busy to administrate the group (adding members), and thus asking somebody from the community to put his hand up for it.
Regards,
Abhishek

Has anyone bought a case/cover for Moto G4 yet?

Yeah its a great idea

yeah, I can create whatsapp or telegram group if you want, also don't buy cases or screen protectors from amazon right now, they are of bad quality and overpriced, wait for some good brands to release, also anyone have any info when the official colored back cover will be released by Motorola? like the ones they released in brazil

Hello everyone,
I bought it on the first day and got delivered on 20th. Started using as my main phone coming from Nexus 5.
Has anyone noticed unresponsiveness of fingerprint sensor sometimes? I must press power to wake the screen when it happens. Though it works again without any issues. Is it ok or I should complaint it to motorola?

Nope. No such issues. In fact it works very well.
