I dont know about most of you guys but I am not too impressed by the leaked specks of the Nexus 5X and probably skip it. Just found out Xiaomi announced their new phone called the Mi 4c and its pretty much the the same if not better than the Nexus 5X

Its about $235 and has an ir blaster and bigger battery. Since its using the Snapdraogin 808, Im sure you can load up AOSP and other popular roms.
So what do you lot think?
Anyone know where to import one to the UK?
the question is... will it have a large developer support?? same as nexus devices?? thats the big question. may have some developer support but not as huge as nexus devices
I'm in America, I can't even get a Xiaomi phone if I wanted one, they don't run on American LTE bands. Xiaomi will be better, Nexus devices are only good for ROM development. They always suck in battery life, camera, and features, and this is coming from a current owner of the Moto Nexus 6. Nexus will have way more developer support and receive updates way faster, Xiaomi phones hardly receive updates and if you're getting from somewhere other than Asia/India, customer support will be nonexistent.

i would agree to this. but xiaomi is also not that known here in my country even we are in asia. nexus still wins in my own opinion. nexus reaches here although through a 3rd party seller and they sell it way up higher than how much it is sold in its mother land.
Good device with very good price. This is Xiaomi made in China.....

I prefer the nexus 5x
Well since it uses Snapdragon 808 like the Nexus 5X, there should be rom support
hmm i am not really that fan of nexus
Looks like Nexus 5X will have 2gb ram whereas the Mi 4C has 3gb
We can't buy it in China... Shipping is expensive from outside.

I highly doubt the Nexus 6 will have all of the features listed in the article. They sound like a smartphone fanatic's wet dream....
SOUNDS GREAT!
by LG still?
What about Nexus 8? Any news?
I post updates on specs
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
According to respected website,*International Business Times, the Nexus 6 is expected to be built by LG. The website also suggests that the Nexus 6 will be largely built on the designs of the 2014 LG flagship smartphone the*LG G3.
The websites also reports that the Nexus 6 will be based on the following specs:
•** *5.5-inch QHD display
•** *1440 x 2560 resolution (534ppi)
•** *Octa-core MediaTek processor
•** *64-bit processor
•** *Fingerprint scanner
•** *IP67-certified dust-proof and water-resistant device
For now, these specs are still largely rumours, however, they are all specs that Google would be hoping to achieve. A Nexus device with a 534 pixels per inch display, 64-bit processor and fingerprint scanner would be a very impressive smartphone indeed, especially if it retains the traditionally low and Google subsidised Nexus price tag. (And LG has a good track record of making Nexus phones.)
New Nexus 6 features: OS
As mentioned above, Google is expected to include a 64-bit processor and some sort of a fingerprint sensor on board the Nexus 6, to bring it inline with the*iPhone 5S*andSamsung Galaxy S5.
Other than that, we expect the other Nexus 6's key new features to be software based.
As ever, Google will reveal more information about its software and OS advances at it annual I/O conference, which is due to take place in June.
As yet, information about what Google will or will not bring to is latest update to its Android OS is thin on the ground. However has Google 4.4 KitKat was a pretty minor update to the OS, a lot of people are optimistic for a more significant advance in features, for when Android moves on to its 4.5 (Probably codenamed "Lion Bar" or "Lollipop") operating system.

Lets go here for this discussion...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
Hey guys I am moving from VZW to ATT and I am unsure if I should just get the Nexus 5 or wait till the 6 is released? I am a fan of larger phones (Note 2, 3). Not sure if I should just wait it out or jump right in?
Thanks all,
BillyBrickz
questions go into the q&a section, not general. ask a mod to move your thread please. anyways, the n6 hasn't been released yet, and everything is all rumor about it. do your question can't really be answered yet. but really, if you want a larger than a n5 size screen device, then wait. if not, buy a nexus 5.
Wait until the Nexus 6 is out and there are good reviews to look at. If possible, go to a store and try one out for yourself. Only then purchase if it meets your needs.
if you want screen just go with nexus 6.ne mobile could come near tothis for atleast two years.but if you want roms and other development it would get a lot of time.I think nexus 5 is best leave the screen but with all roms and everything its the best
guys,
is the nexus 5 still one of the best phones available? i realize there are a new bunch of flagships out and am wondering if i should pick up a cheap nexus 5 or go big with the moto x 2014? i love the customization of roms and kernels the nexus brings to the table but am concerned about buying a phone that's a year old almost. any help/insight?

Specs and Developer ordering info direct from manufacturer
Time to get in on the ground floor!
So what will you do?
Withe the changes to Android L, would you still consider a device such as this?
Looks like an interesting device, but the website mentions it will only be sold to approved companies. Not too much of an issue because I think the Z4 will have pretty much these exact specs. I think that will be the first big brand device with an 810? Rumours say it will be announced early January and available in March.

I'm mostly basing that on this leak: http://www.androidorigin.com/sony-xperia-z4-specs-leak-4gb-ram-z3x-exmor-exclusive/
810, 2560x1440 screen, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage. Not sure on the huge array of sensors but I suppose it will sport most of what the Qualcomm phone does.
Found this little ditty
The first Snapdragon 810 smartphones should make a first appearance during CES 2015, coming from some of the most important manufacturers. To be more specific, the LG G4, HTC One M9 or Samsung Galaxy S6 could use it, the latter being less likely, as Samsung seems to be preferring their home-mad Exynos.

If LG doesnt lock the bootloader again this will be a killer device and i would buy one most definitely.
If they do lock it, another paperweight for many of us

Oooh. I don't know but it looks legit. Though has some errors.
Like a Xperia device with an HTC look?
And it wouldn't be called nexus 4 like you said in the title.
I agree its a head scratcher... Id buy one though ?

Sorry to correct you but the new nexus device could very well be call the nexus 4 2015 but it would more than likely not be made by Sony it would be by Motorola again because each company that google goes with it seems that they let that company make 2 phones then they move on as for it being called the nexus 4 2015 there has been a lot of talk that it will be called the nexus 4 2015 and or the nexus 5 2015 just like the 2 nexus 7s also it would not be coming out until 2016 but that's my though on the date but it could come out this year though not until October or later

Nah i think googles endgame is to cycle through as many quality OEMs as possible, ingraining android and also forcing the companies to perform under its own quality standards. Each company thats made a google device has subsequently reached new heights. Asus and LG are making excellent stuff nowadays. I own a TF701 and its the best 10 inch tablet in existence for me.

Never disagreed that ONE day they may have Sony make it but just not this time around
Prolly not now no...
First since lg L7 I've been buying all LG phones i was a fan of LG ..but now after G4 and G5 i am going back to samsung or nexus devices .. I had enough of LG no updates i had my last update on November.. No support no bootloader unlock no root .. And a lot of bugs and hardware issues ..after few days of using V10 the volume down button doesn't work .. And even with updates Korea goes first and then Turkia and Poland and it keeps going like that then the last one is international variant so i am sick of waiting for updates and i think theres many other ppl who are selling their LG phones and going back to king of phones samsung and nexus

SHAME ON YOU LG...
Wow I don't get it. I love love love this phone. Great battery life, never any lag, great radios, I even love the second screen - it may be my favorite feature.
But to each his or her own. Good luck with new phone

Interesting considering LG makes the Nexus 5X, Samsung has gone the apple route by making batteries not removable. Not to mention the Qualcomm 820 overheating issues (Samsung S7) causing the cpu to throttle back performance.
To each is own though, I love the second screen, the performance, the removable battery and external memory support.
Have fun with Samsung with their extremely bloated phones and their apple wannabe behavior.
If I wanted an iPhone, I'd buy an iPhone.. Not a Samsung knockoff.
The good thing about this is that there are many new phones on the second hand market plus companies get money for free. And some guys never will be happy and will never find the perfect phone since there are new devices knocking on the door. If you wanna be happy, buy an iPhone. They release phones only once a year so one can be happy for at least one hole year. What's the problem with LG - an Korean company - to first release software in their home market? Also they sell more phones in Korea than in the US.
People like to whine...LG v10 is a fabulous phone. No complaints from this power user!
