I think it will be priced at $350 maybe $400, I saved $89 by choosing the LG G2 over the upcoming N6 the cameras look to be the same and so is the screen size, I could care less about the extra pixels since I don't think anybody would see the difference during actual use. However the SOC and extra 1GB is a nice improvement over the G2 that some of you would pay $89 for. Also the google software updates must be nice.
Overall I am glad I sprung for this phone and won't have to wait 2 months for a nexus that may or may not have better battery life. If it does I will be sad if it does not I will have undoubtedly made the right decision.

I am fixing to get mine out of lay away at the local trade it store can't wait been using a galaxy nexus for 3 years. Been watching all the leaks on shamu possibly being the nexus 6 but it may not be, either way I love the vanilla android and the fact that newer nexus devices get updates to the latest and greatest the g2 battery life is just crazy good compared to what I have been used to. Any way congrats on a great phone for a great price, I will prolly see you around on these g2 threads once I get mine and get it up and running

I wish it was HTC... lol

lol Im going to go look for this now lol
Epic fail.
I personally am glad that this is a Samsung. Better screen quality and it doesn't weigh 5 or 6 pounds. Not to mention the fact that it probably would have come with a locked bootloader at least initially.
It is pretty sad that their marketing department overlooked such an obvious error.
Any other Samsung phone besides the infuse and I'd be wishing it were an HTC too.
I almost said something but didbt want to sound like a smart alic.

hmmm.. why all the hate on samsung? My infuse is freakin amazing. Way faster than my dual core tablet was, sexy UI, takes less than 5 seconds to root. Granted the battery life isn't GREAT and it takes 5 hours to charge, but that's how samsung does it, amazing performance comes at a small price.

hahaha. i have to go to bestbuy now.

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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
