Finally Moto X Play has been launched in India at an awesome price(Rs 18499)($280).
So Who all are going to buy it.
i am just worried about the 615 chipset man i see some of them reporting lags on browsers and someapps
the 615 might be a deal breaker, lots of reports of lags and sluggish behavoiur!
Being a huge fan of Moto Display @ Active Display of the Moto X (1st Gen), I am much disappointed they decided not to use AMOLED display. As its one of the unique features of the X, its gonna drain battery in TFT dispaly (by few percentage).
Still its a Beast for the price and specs.
615 is laggy? I believe it wont be the case with Pure Android at Moto. Also guaranteed updates for minimum 1.5 years.
The lastest Moto X at cheaper price than its predecessors, just go for it (as I believe most wont use Moto Display and go for lockscreen apps)
PS: I'd recommend getting a Tempered Glass protector as I believe it does a great job. plus Motorola display parts are costly as hell.

I don't think tempered glass will do anything man if your device's fate is nearing to death, coz i broke my nexus 5 having tempered glass on it fell just from 2feet, before that it has fallen of from couple of feet... so i am thinking not to invest more on phones, i believe this is good phone only worries me is that i use lots of apps i wonder 615 can work em out..
Anyways i booked mine. Waiting!!!
Why don't you use cases from otterbox or supcase? I believe it will help during fall.

There is a 1 month return period right? May be they want to pass that before giving away any of those offers. Perhaps they don't want someone to benefit from the freebies and later return the product...

I just got this phone yesterday and I love it. imo I think the one x looks better but I love how compact this phone is for how big the screen is. cant go wrong that. as far as im concerned the one x+ still isn't too much of an upgrade besides its hd screen
I think you can't go wrong with either. The One X does feel good and solid and the bigger screen is awesome too. But the One S is so thin and sexy; even with a case. I went back to stock for the new update and this thing is even faster.
In my opinion, the only reason somebody would get a One X is because of the bigger screen. Even though the One is is marketed below the One X, it certainly does not feel or operate like it.
I don't think there will be a One S+. The way I see it, the One X+ was a small bump that gave the US a non-LTE but Tegra3 version. If you want the big screen, I would wait, but I'm really happy with the One S for the already stated reasons.
These can be found for $250 on craigslist. Buy it now sell it later without losing a dime.

I purchase both my Nexus One and my Nexus S on craigslist. Its up to the buyer to make sure they don't get scammed. I take someone with me so I don't get robbed/jumped and I make sure the phone is working and I can make a call before money is even shown. Craigslist is a wonderful place to get stuff.

I just got a new one from craigslist a couple days ago, nothing wrong with getting stuff off of CL.. especially since phones come with a 1 year manufacture warranty if there is a issue with it (besides cracked screens).
Just bought HTC One S from a "nice" dude I found on Craigslist. The guy apparently works for T-Mobile, and we completed the transaction at a T-Mobile store. I paid $275 for a brand new HTC One S. I wanted a Galaxy S3 originally but getting a One S for around 60% of a GS3 price feels good. It's a good phone for the price for sure.
HTC One S is a great phone, if you enjoy compacted efficiency.
This phone is great IMO it all comes down to what you like, go on YouTube watch some reviews and see what you think.

You can always rendezvous with the craiglist seller in a bank or ATM machines as there are always camera's there and you can verify the phone is legit and then get the money from the ATM and that way if you ever have to file a complaint, you will have the time and hopefully the camera captured you and the seller doing the transaction in the bank lobby

Lovely looking phone, but serious build issues involving where the horizontal speaker grills meet the screen. A lot of them (both the ones I had and also the three ive seen in my local shops) seem to have this raised screen/sharp cutting edge issue in the top left.
Also there were some superficial things I didn't like - the large bezel, the slightly awkward capacitive layout etc etc.
Anyway excited about giving the s4 a go. Anythings gotta be better than my old 4s.
Wow thats too bad for HTC haha

Just tried the HTC One and the build quality while it is amazing the phone has nothing particular making me hyped... The display is sharp but faded. Maybe I've been using amoleds too much? The phone isn't comfortable to hold for long periods of time because of its sharp edges and the demo was already scratched in the back...

When I went in to pre-order my S4 I played with the HTC One display unit there, they had only had it out for a day or two...and the back was super scratched up it looked like someone used it without a case for a few years. The iPhone 5 demos there didn't look anywhere near that bad so I'm not sure what's up with their aluminum.
However I thought the screen looked great and I really loved the feel of the phone in my hands with that curved back. I'm hoping I get that premium feel with the S4 too.
(I actually switched from the HTC One X to the Galaxy S3 and maybe was one of the few, but I honestly liked the feel of the S3 more)
To stay on track: Got my email at 9:13 am. Phone has shipped and I'll be getting it on 4/25!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous
Hello,
I had a Xperia Z1 before and it had some problems so I sent it to Sony just a week ago and they are going to destroy the phone and leave me with nothing (unless i pay, then i get the broken device back) so I'm looking for a new phone just after 3 months :/ The oneplus two seems nice but I don't really want to spend 400 bucks on a phone as i'm only 16 years old and don't have the money for it yet! I can get the 16gb model but my music library is about that size lol! The oneplus one seems nice but I'm not exactly sure if I should buy it or not as I've seen people post stuff about messy touch screens which is a problem I really don't want!
Has this been fixed in recent updates and is this still a good phone to get for 300 bucks(64gb)?
Thanks in advance!

Mentioned touch screen issues were with initial lot.. The new devices don't have any problems..
OPO is well worth the money..
Only advice would be not to upgrade to 5.1 and continue using it on 4.4..for the sake of battery of course.. [emoji56]

Yup, there's no problem with it, I got one bought in January till now and it has no issues at all, no yellow tint or touch problem. Previously I got 1 early China batch one it indeed has yellow tint, but it doesn't as annoying or visible as you think.
Also vote for staying on KK, Lollipop the battery drain like nobody business. (Stock CM12S/CM12.1, Stock Kernel too)
go ahead n buy... no device has comecloser for me in terms of value for money!! no issues left now
hopefully android m will end battery problems as well!!

Alrighty then, the device is 300 euros in Europe and that's a steal! Do you guys happen to know when they will stop selling the one to estimate how much time I have left to buy one?

I don't think they'll stop the sales anytime sooner. The phone is selling a lot even now, after a year of it's release. So take your time.
I'm sorry I didn't see the date of your query, but You will not find a better phone for the money. I won't ask how they managed to refuse to warranty the phone, but that is a shame. Hopefully you can save up some money and get one.

Yes its totally worth it. I bought my g3 in January of this year and as days pass by I started hating it. There was barely any development, the battery didn't last long,and it got pretty warm after sometime. I trade it for a one plus one and I'm not regretting it whatsoever I mean it doesn't have the fancy features like the g3 but the only thing I used on my g3 was the radio sometimes and rarely the ir blaster.

Its still a decent device, although I'm keeping an eye on the ZUK Z1 which has been announced for international release to day (available October), with Cyanogen OS. Its basically shares many of the same internal hardware with the OPO, but has some additional features like OIS, dual SIM, finger print scanner, USB Type C, bigger battery, (arguably) nicer build materials.

Oh, they're also working on a ZUK 2 for January! Featuring the Snapdragon 820..

I sold my 64gb One Plus One (only had it for a few months, got it after the invite system went away) to fund a One Plus Two but ultimately decided to get a Mi Note instead. Love it; far happier than I was with the One. The One had ghost touches, yellowing screen, crap and a half camera (who cares about 4K if HD and FHD still look bad) and horrible onboard sound quality. The Mi is fantastic. Giant LCD (I'm 6'6" so this is a plus), OIS camera, best audio DAC I've ever hear on a phone. And I really like MIUI. One Plus MIUI is broken.
The only downside is shipping from China, but mine arrived no problem (15 days, most of those spent in some sort of customs). 16GB are roughly the same, 64GB Mi Note is cheaper than comparable OP2.
Answer to your title: No! You can find better devices with the same money.

To be honest, I'd take the Moto x Style or Moto x Play. With the new style center from Motorola and the 20 mp camera on the Play edition, it really stands out and may even be better then the 1+2.

Hi friends, as HTC One A9 is all set to launch in India, its good time to have a thread dedicated to Indian owners and to be owners where we can share experiences and also try to stay updated with the latest news about the device. Thank You..!!
Let the party begin ?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Forums PRO
so far..no news..why the hell India is always selling fones on premium and getting the last priority in availability
Well, with no price being given till now, I expect this to be 35k+
Has not been cheaper than $499(+$25 tax) =Rs.34,650 without pre-order in US and UK prices are even higher. I think it won't be cheaper than 35k even though HTC would do some penetration price cut, due to the high tax and customs in India. Also, during the press meet HTC expressed its intention to introduce new low price series in India to support HTC's growth. That indicates this phone is not going to be cheaper
Safe to say 40k+ then, fingers crossed.

Hey I checked import data on Zauba and it says 22,556 for single unit, so maybe they might end up pricing it below 30k I believe
Have a look
Surprised by the pricing... 30k is good
That's a good price for that phone! Maybe not all hope is lost for HTC in India.

Provided they include the earphones too! In US, the package came without earphone, luckily I got $100 store credit for patiently waiting on the pre-order and bought all the accessories (more than just a headset). Otherwise, it is something like an incomplete package
but the phones in US come with Uh-Oh protection and Play Music subscription, and those won't be available here, so they could have priced it more competitively, just a thought

I saw the registration page and they are only having 2 color variants available now and initially only 2500 units will be made available
HTC seems very cautious in releasing it's inventory/ or even keeping an inventory.. Guess their current financial state is dictating that.
for me deep garnet is the most interesting model color wise but sad that they haven't made it available here

Just over 2 days, battery life is holding well. Matches my E8 more or less for my usage pattern. Using the camera or an app like Snapchat drains it a bit faster. But nothing much. Also, the phone charges really quick, 0-100% in about 110 mins with the supplied 1.5A charger. That makes it really amazing.
I'll try posting some pics later.

110mins doesn't sound impressive, considering tht it just got 2140mah battery
Get 'em while they're hot.

Giving the PH-1 another shot, as my HTC U11 is starting to have all sorts of issues. Had the PH-1 pre-ordered and received the first batch last summer, but had issues with it. A lot of light bleed on the screen and awful touch responsivness were the main problems.
Couldn't pass up on this deal, especially the Halo Grey version with its matte backing. I know Essential has come a long way since last summer/early fall, so I'm excited about it. I came very close to buying it last week for over $500 on Amazon.
Now to do research on unlocking the bootloader and rooting it.
For UK users buying from Amazon .com that has to be deal of the century

Are these still bad with T-Mobile?
I just ordered one myself. I'm on the ZTE Axon 7 and really don't need a phone until it blows up but that deal is too good to pass up. Now I'm just mentally trying to justify it vs. waiting for the next generation stuff.
I guess I get bumped up from a Snapdragon 820 to 835, bluetooth 4.2 to 5, Android P developer previews, and a bunch of other people probably bought one today as well.
What an awesome deal! Tempted to buy another lol
I'm using it on T-Mobile and I have no issues. Love my PH-1. Running rooted Android P Dev preview

T-Mobile issues
I just ordered one of these for $250, because why not at that price.
Does anyone have any links to read about the issues with T-Mobile ? I read briefly that there is some configuration fix or did this come with one of the updates?
Ordered here in UK this is too good to pass great deal.
Just ordered one as well. What is a good provider to use this on in New England? Right now I have Google Fi. I know this isn't one of the "compatible" devices, but it *should* work on some gsm bands with it until I find a better company to use.
Just ordered one as an upgrade from my T-Mo G6. The G6 is starting to have Bleed issues on the display and the 32GB is just not cutting it for me. I'm really nervous from some of the posts I've read. This phone seems to be really polarizing with some loving and some hating. Here goes nothing!
yeap I was looking two weeks ago at swappa... and I almost but one on a good condition and change my mind.... now I wake up today booom!!! i got it on Halo Gray.... well hello everyone i will try to be a regular here
Just bought this = Halo Gray.
Q1. Does the Gcmod5 camera work well on the PH-1? Actually, does any replacement camera app outperform the stock camera app?
Q2. I got the 360 camera attachment. Is it a keeper or return?
Q3. How is the mono speaker?
Q4. Will this phone get additional Android updates?
My current device is the HTC U11+. It runs well, great battery, screen, color, sound. However, this Essential deal is too good to pass up. I have missed stock Android, security updates and this PH-1 hardware is beautiful.
I have also ordered the PH-1, got it in Halo Grey (best color for me) , I hope it will runs like a charm.
Btw, I saw someone asking about GCam, I'm also curious if there any apk available or a mod

Just ordered one....looking to upgrade from my trusty old Nexus 6p
Grabbed one... Been looking for a deal on a decent compact phone and couldn't pass this up! I actually ordered a Moto X4 on Sunday and will likely be sending it back as I think the Essential Phone will trump the Moto X4

Android updates are fats,very fast you get monthly security updates same day as Google phones,the Google cam mode works ,I was using both camera apps ,but since release the camera app from essential has been updated many times improving and adding new features
360 cam is very good and the tiny planet feature of the app means you can do some cool.stuff with it .
Honestly you won't be disappointed,it is a gorgeous phone and feels great in hand ,moon black is a bit slippy so I put a Matt black dbrand on mine
