Moto X Pure coming on September 3 - X Style (Pure) General

Sooner than I thought, for sure. Looks like we'll be able to see this thing in a matter of a couple weeks!

... of course it does say the tweet was deleted, so perhaps they changed their mind.

Someone mensioned this on a website, what if they meant Sept 30 and someone made the error hence they deleted. Lol its plausable but I really hope not.

I think Moto would openly refute the reports for 9/3 if that were the case. I don't think they will allow 9/3 hype to build and miss the moment.

Could also be that 3rd is when they open up the moto maker for pre-order... and then they ship them on the 30th. That would be a nice kick in the teeth!

I cant see them making Moto Maker available pretty much a month beforehand, at best a week.
Anyone know what happened last year? Did they open up pre orders weeks before actual release?

Well, the play is due to ship at the end of the month (25th onwards AFAIK) and the moto maker has been there ready to play around with for quite a while already (at least last week which is when I saw it).

haha. I do hope they do actually release it on the 3rd... but optimism is so non-British. Cynicism sits much better ^.^ I think the standard build phones would ship pretty fast anyway so a release on the 3rd for them makes sense; whereas customised moto maker ones will probably take more time anyway.
Here's to hoping a company makes a decent screen protector for this phone too in time for its release! oh wait... hope... bad...

Lol
Talking of which I dont think any Tempered glass screen protectors worked on last years model ... proper gutna.

Neither on the Nexus 6... Those round screens sure look nice but they are more fragile and makes it impossible to put a tempered glass.

Anybody notice that after the launch there has been zero follow-up by Motorola to ride the positive buzz to a launch? This makes zero business sense unless we consider what also happened just after the launch.
I am wondering if Lenovo is the issue. They zapped 500 from Moto's mobile division in Chicago and also let go of key software dev teams. It could be possible that given the staff reductions and distraction and disruptions this is not a good time frame to launch and would explain the pull of the announcement. Apparently feedback from Chicago does not suggest a facility "all systems go" for a launch and employees reporting they are still in shock and key positions were also laid off that are not filled to cover a launch.
I would not hold breath for a Sept 3 launch and also concerned for product support since apparently will be given to Lenovo who have no clue about Motorola (if you have dealt with Lenovo, they do not appear to have a good grasp of their own products as far as support). Shame too, since was looking forward (big time) to a 64GB version. Hoping I am reading too much into the events.
Whatever the case, you do not launch with such positive buzz and go dark like this. That defeats a key purpose of a launch in the first place.

It is mad to think that Motorola have done/said nothing after the announcement of the Style however the only good thing is the fact the shipments and general day to day sales i.e the Moto G 2015 seem to be going as planned without a hitch.
Not long to go before we see what happens lol. But honestly I cant see Lenovo making a mess of this, they are a well respected company also but tbh sometimes companies do make some proper stupid decisions ... Note 5 Not selling in Europe pops to mind hahah.

Hoping that is correct The tweet being pulled and the complete darkness after a big launch is not a normal bridge to carry though to product release. a lot of momentum is lost. Whatever the case, Lenovo's timing appears bad.

Motorola Germany just answered a twitter question regarding the release. They expect a release in Germany around the middle of September. So maybe they can hold the 3rd September release in the US

All I know is that unless your quick your going to be left dissapointed as you're going to have a longer wait. In the UK the Moto X Play is already out of stock it went on sale only a few days ago.
I have a feeling the same will happen with the Style.
Wonder if this is common with Motorola and they run out of stock at launch. I know this was the case with the Nexus 6 but thats always the case with any Nexus LOL.

Motorola is very weak in regards to supply chain management and tend to be their own worst enemy. Was hoping Lenovo would help, but appears not to be the case. It is very ironic for a company so weak in supply chain to add the well-intended customer option of case customization.
I posted that the battery COULD be the Achilles Heal for the Moto X Pure, but Motorola supply chain for the critical launch release phase could be as well.

I preordered the moto x style at amazon.de in black 32GB (499€) today

Going Crazy over in the US!!

After seeing people from other countries receive their Note 3, I am getting so anxious for my phone to ship out. Why couldn't everyone just get it at the same time? AUGH!! THis is a pointless thread, but I've honestly read all the threads regarding any type of shipping/preordering/inside leaks 3 times a day for the past 2 weeks. LOL. And I just want to write something and vent. Ha

Right there with you! Freaking out today haha.
I hear you guys lol i'm trying to find a best buy dumb enough to sell it early and checked verizon stores in person anyway
Its better than the six month wait it used to be for galaxy one and two
I was completely fine waiting until the 2nd. Then T-Mobile listed the estimated shipping date as the 24th. I got my hopes up despite my best effort not to, and now I'm checking my email/bank account/t-mobile site every five minutes for an update like a mad man.
Checked my preorder status twice today!!! ugh this sucks!! i just want it now! my bionic is killing me!
^_^
Come be anxious with the rest of us! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456404
I'm right with the OP, I was ok waiting (kind of) until all the over-seas post of people receiving their Note III's.
I had the Sprint Note II up until 3 months ago when I switched to T-Mobile. I knew the Note III would be out within a few months so I could not see buying another Note II for a few months so I bought a Nexus 4 to hold me over. I miss the Note!!!
I think I'm going to try to stay off xda for the next few days...Yea right!!!
Ship the phone already!!!!

Super anxious here too! Got rid of the HTC One after being quite disappointed by the battery life. It went from fully charged to dead over the period of a football game the other weekend. Reverted back to the Galaxy Nexus that I've had for a while. Even after being rooted the Nexus has just degraded in performance and the power button only works when sternly pressed in the upper portion.
Ready for an upgrade out of necessity!

I can wait a few more weeks. I could get one "now" but I am holding off, like I did when the Note1 came out.
Bless the early adopters, but I'm lazy...I don't want to wait a month or more for a sure fire root/rom/hack to come
out to use some of my programs that require root. You early adopters make it SO MUCH EASIER :good: for someone
like me that has reached the point in their life, they just want to unbox it, set it up, root it and be done with it.
I plan on ordering something around Halloween. By then, a solid root/hack/fix for any issues that develop should
be in place. :victory:
AT&T should be shipping mine early next week (10/1 or 10/2). Should have in time for my birthday on the 5th! Cant wait!

Marshmallow update for MotoX Syle (Pure) 2015

Everyone don't wet it! The update will contain Band 12 VoLTE and E911. VoIT is in question? I got this info from higher tech support. Took about 4 days to get official answer. I believe this is the reason why we in the good old of USA haven't received this update sooner! They are working out possible issues with this radio update for marshmallow.
it's been known for at least a week or even more (on g+ post)
I will believe it when it is released.

Do plenty of research first. I sent my 6p back because after 4 days of normal use the frame was twisting. It would no longer sit flat. I carried my phone in my front pocket as i have done with all my phones. I also had much worse reception. I constantly dropped to 3g at work whereas with this phone I don't. If on Verizon there is also no visual voicemail so if you have advanced calling enabled you get text messages instead of a notification that you have voicemail periodically. Your mileage may vary but I couldn't wait to be rid of it.

Waiting for the mm update patiently no problem... My moto pure working like champ, love this phone...
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Same here.. got the phone.. it's working as it should be.... there are some fixes you can get from the dev sections... not like this phone came out the box broken that MM was going to make it feel like a totally different phone from what I bought...
You know Nexus phones get the updates right away.. so why didn't you just buy the Nexus instead of the MXPE? Sounds like a personal problem...
C'mon, apologists. Waiting a few extra weeks isn't the end of the world for most of us, but it should've been out by now, given Moto's near-stock software design. The fact that it's taking longer to update their brand new, revolutionary, carrier-free flagship than some competitors' heavily-skinned, carrier-variable models is a very bad sign about Lenovo's priorities.
If 11 months from now we're finding out that the MXPE will not be receiving Android N at all, we can probably look back to this episode and say: "you know, we should've seen this coming." I'm enjoying my phone, but I absolutely don't blame anyone for hedging in favor of the 6P despite a few weaknesses (no expandable storage) because of Lenovo's poor showing this past 3-4 weeks.
So, go to the dev section and install MM...

Can you link to where Moto/Lenovo gave the MXPE an exact date of when MM was going to come out? Last I heard they were rollin' it out in phases... and even then, there were no exact dates... if peeps want to spend more on the 6P/Nexus and not worry about delayed updates, then they should have bought it, but yet, they didn't and are complaining about the "slow" updates on the phone(s) they 'decided' to buy instead..
Go to the dev section and install those MM updates posted there if you guys are really that bent on getting MM on your device...
I can wait, nothing in MM that I really want, much less need, anyways...
A few weeks is nothing. We'll get it.
This isn't like the Atrix and ICS, where the phone was out for a fair bit and also canned once google bought Moto. The phone is new. If other regions are getting it first, then that's just how the testing works.
They really don't want a repeat of Lollipop. I heard horror stories on how badly that update botched the 2nd Gen Moto X.

Do those dev section roms include T-Mobile B12 & VoLTE support??? That's what many of us are waiting for. If it was only a matter of wanting MM then yeah, that's a no-brainer, but no way I'm going through all that crap for a rom that doesn't have the T-Mobile support I've been waiting for all along.
From what I can tell there is no band 12 in the Indian mm but doze works ****ing wonders on this phone even completely stock. I'm on modded marshmallow now and will switch to official mm when its released. Simple enough

More a "tour" than a review. There are two kinds of testing, objective and subjective. The latter is more opinion which that video is. I want to see how S-835 and Exynos 8955 compare to each other and their predecessors, how the new Mali and Adreno GPU's stack up, how the new camera's compare to their predecessors and others on the market, battery life and charging time, and brightness and energy use of the new displays. GSMArena, Anandtech, and Notebookcheck are the best at those types of objective tests and they use the same battery of tests consistently across all the devices they test.
Here's Notebookcheck's early hands-on...

Or you wait three days from when you would have received your pre-order and go in to a T-Mobile store and pick it up there. The pre-order frenzy in the T-Mobile thread is farcical. In two weeks anyone (in the U.S.) who wants a S8 can have one. The amount of energy and time being consumed by some people to get the phone a couple of days ahead of launch seems kind of odd. The irony is, at least with the Note7, AT&T'rs got their phones via FedEx before 95% of T-Mobile'rs got theirs via UPS. And the latter had tracking numbers days earlier. To each their own.

Did they say how long it would take for them to re charge your card? I see people placing orders today and have already been charged and also have shipping labels.
Sorry but it's not a great review. The amateurishness of this guy is evident when he says that the samsung chip is even better than Apple's A10 fusion chip. Also adds a sardonic "sorry apple fans"
Obviously this guy is a novice. Because any reputable You tuber knows and as seen in many videos,the iphone 7 plus wipes the floor with Samsung Galaxy S8. He sounds like a very obvious paid reviewer for Samsung.
Don't get me wrong. I have preordered the S8+. But let's be real here. In terms of sheer performance and optimization, no one can touch the iphones.

Yup free tv in Alberta too... And that was a pretty sweet deal for me that since I needed both! I bought mine outright through Freedom, using it with koodo. I am pretty happy for now. Hoping that LG keeps its promise of more frequent updates and longer support since they opened a new division dedicated to that.

Yup. They've had their own "taptic engine" since V30, it's the only one on the android side that has it and it's brilliant! The vibration is such an important aspect of phones that people tend to not notice. Oneplus5/6 has the nastiest vibration that actually becomes a reason for me not to buy one.
Anyone recieve an update on the status of free tv yet?
If my math is accurate , we will be waiting until July 15th before any update. At any rate, im looking forward to a 43" UHD w hdr and google assistant!
The more I use the camera on the G7, the more Im blown away. Its crazy good.
This phone is crazy good. The potential of customization is good enough on G7 to forget about root anyway. The stock ROM is... really good.
My first LG phone. The built quality is good and form factor,the only downside is its slippery so you need a case.

Agreed. I have the LG G7 and the Huawei P20 pro. I was going the keep the G7 and sell the Huawei P20 pro until I accidentally threw it out of my car window...sigh. Now I have to sell my LG G7 which is by far a better phone. So far out of all the phones I've owned in 2018 the G7 comes close 2nd to the S9+ edged out by the dual speakers. This is by far the best LG G series phone. The best phone no one will buy, which is a shame.

I sent in my paper work last week, LG is very sticky on having it correct. I put my emails on the phone and delivery and contract change in the trash folder...had to scramble to get them back to submit the correct info LG wanted. They are most interested to make sure it was pre-ordered between May 18th to May 31st and a proper digital receipt of the purchase. I think I finally gave them what they wanted....But yes I feel middle of July is when they will arrive by....but who really knows.
I just contacted LG regarding the claim and when can we expect the TV. I got this in the reply back.
"Regarding the claim status, as there is a cooling off period to ensure customers are satisfied with the products.
The claims will start to process in the beginning of July.
All claims will be reviewed prior to validation, please allow 6-8 weeks processing time for your claim."
It says "my" claim at the end there but I think it can be generalized to everyone.
I received an email and a text message today about the TV. It says that they're expecting to ship the TV in 4 weeks. Hurray for the new TV in August.
They reviewed this specific TV on RTINGS. https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/uk6300
Don't expect to be wowed but it's not a terrible TV in anycase and a FREE one at that.
Now, waiting for a method to root this phone... *crossing fingers*
Anyone receive their tv yet? Still waiting on mine.
Just wanted to let you know that I got my TV yesterday. It has lots of blacklight bleeding so I am talking to someone in support to get it replaced.

Good to know. Hopefully mine comes soon then!
Got mine a more than a month ago. Backlight bleed is at minimal level. IPS displays will never have inky blacks so I was expecting something like that. Overall I'm satisfied because I kept my expectations low.

Damn lucky you. I emailed them Sunday and they replied yesterday saying that there's a big backlog due to higher than expected sales.
I was worried that it had shipped and either didn't make it or someone stole it off my porch. Just need to wait it out I guess

Got the same response from LG support yesterday.

U.S. Release Date?

Haven't heard anything of a release date for the us. Any word?

On their website, they have a give away for the Zenfone 6 to come to North America in 47 days.
B&H has it on their website. If you enter your email address they notify you when it's in stock. I'm getting impatient though. I think ASUS really needs release their phones a lot sooner after they unveil them. If something more appealing comes out between now and then I may get that instead.
He'll, if the S10+ drops in price enough between now and then I may just get that (used)

Just noticed that BH Photo site bumped their pre-order start date from June 15th to July 1st...
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/prod...s855_6g64g_bk_zenfone_6_zs630xl_dual_sim.html
With the sweepstakes ending later this month, there could possibly be a new model with the USA/North American release. I hope so, at least.
Why would Asus have it available to the USA via importer websites but not officially? Maybe so far its taking a while to get through FCC certifications...
I would buy the international version, but I want to be sure all of the bands in the USA are available on the phone. I use AT&T and want to be sure I get full coverage. From what I've read, Gearbest mainly sells the international/Europe version and this one is spotty with the USA bands available. Hence, I wait for the USA release. But I'm with all ya'll . . . If they don't hurry up another phone may grab my attention and they lose that sale.
BHPhoto now have July 15 for the start of pre-orders... Still no price or ship date.

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone following the saga of trying to buy one of these in the UK.
Preorders went up late may with a mid June shipping date suggested by customer support. Then preorders were closed, but no phones arrived. Delivery date is now suggested as end July with the phones hidden on the Asus UK store.
I still really want my zenfone,, but this is as botched a launch as I've ever seen.
Still waiting in the US
I called Asus and they said "middle of July" but I take that with a grain of salt.
The botched launch plus reports of bad call quality/volume (has to do with the flip cam I think) are making me look for another phone.
I like big battery phones, there are others to chose from (though not with an 855).

Since I can't post outside links you'll just have to find the thread (s) on the asus zentalk forums for the zenphone 6 (6z). Very annoying not to be able to post this link. But I cut an pasted the first parts of it..

Any update here? Any AT&T users from the states in here? Trying to figure out if I can buy a global version instead of waiting.

B&H posted a July 15th preorder date for the U.S. version then immediately took it down over the weekend that's the latest I've seen. We will have to see what happens in a few weeks I'm tired of waiting too
