[Q] The Best Bet Of My Life?

So two weeks ago, I got my Galaxy S3 And today I saw my friend for the first time in a few weeks. He got an iPhone 5 while I got my S3. So we talked about how each of our respective phones was better. We ended by me betting that my S3 will last longer than his iPhone 5 in terms of who will get updates the longest. Whoever won would pay the next upgrade...and I'm pretty sure that I won't have $200 to spare two years from now.
My main question is whether or not you think I made a pretty good bet or not. I hope I did Thoughts?

You realize this is not a Nexus, right?

I don't think that was a safe bet. The iphones have a great track record of getting updates compared to Samsungs and even androids in general, IMO.

I didn't mention officially or not lol

You should probably think a bit more carefully about your finances if you can't have an extra 200 dollars in two years.

Good thing you'll have 6 months between when they cut you off from updates at around 18 months and the end of your contract at 24. It'll give you time to come up with 400 bucks. 200 for your next phone (min.) and 200 for his.
No matter how good devs are..... at the rate things change with Android, even if you get a port of whatever OS Android uses at the time, I bet it won't have all the features, have glitches due to hardware limitations or unavailable drivers for months.
May I suggest marry rich or perhaps a second job?

Your best shots are
A) Hope your friend doesn't know better that you are flashing ROMS
B) Don't be friends in 2 years, the time honored way of escaping serious long term bets

From prior experience most droid only get updated for about a year then start to fall off think you may have made a boo boo on this one

Don't worry get the s4 and he went even know. After all he is an iphone user.
On a different Note is that all you two could come with? How long you would get updates?

Remember that the ancient iPhone 3g is still running the newest updates

the most retarded bet ever imo...the ibone obviously will get more updates, refer to what heshmonster said. apple only has 5 devices to release updates for in 5yrs time. Android has hundreds...dont take this the wrong way but android devices are like disposable cameras, once the film runs out they are trash. that being said i still will never get a iphone!

he can always hope Samsung finally wins a lawsuit and all the iphones get banned!
He can also hope for world peace though, just sayin'

The bet seems too vague considering that both devices can be flashed with hacked up firmware.
On the one side, I kept my original Moto Droid from the day it launched to the day I got my SGS3 preorder in the mail.
This is while I watched many colleagues go through many iterations of the iphone, each time buying an entirely new device.
The original Moto Droid actually just got JellyBean, and I know the original iphone can not even kind of run iOS 4, much less iOS 6.
If anything the iphone is the disposable camera in this scenario. Ever try to get anything above iOS 3 on a second generation iPod touch and you will know what I mean.
Back on topic though, the bet will not have a clear winner in 2 years. Try 4 years and you will see which device has the most longevity.

I can imagine in the heat of the moment, we like to think that products like ours (with a popular modding community behind it) gives it a longer life span since modders will typically add new features from other phones to this one.

Horrible bet.

Note 2. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Love mine.
You get performance out the wazoo, replaceable HUGE battery, sd card, multi Window, S pen, the development community is starting to pick up (the at&t guys roms are generally flashable to the tmo device), video playback is unbelievable, LTE is just around the corner, it's not an LG...
You can also walk into the store and buy one now. Nexus 4, maybe?
Downsides? The screen is huge, seems more fragile than other devices. Device size means that you will definitely need to play with one on the store before buying. It felt weird to me at the store but I took the plunge. Two days into owning before I decided that size was no big deal. It suffers from the Samsung device general weaknesses such as risk of imei loss and the goofy flash counter thing (these things can more or less be worked around). Obviously there is no physical keyboard.
This thing is awesome.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

I too have never really liked LG phones. And despite the quad in the nexus being a bit more powerful, the Note 2 has a lot more to offer in terms of features.

Note II because you can always get a nexus ROM on a bigger screen

As soon as my taxes come in I'm buying the nexus 4. I have a feeling my "new" doubleshot was stolen out the mailbox. But at least you get a working device after all this time I'll be sad to leave this community but since I'm forced into a new phone Nexus it is.

Sorry man, that really sucks. Did it have tracking? or is there any way to find out at what point it got lost? But if it was sent in December then there might be a hold up somewhere. Most of the errors in postage happen around that time. Anyway, before you completely settle for the Nexus I think you should check out the Note II. I think it's worth it man.

That's sort of what I was thinking about. If I replace my MT4GS, I want a quad core with good support. I've been leaning towards an unlocked HTC One X or a Nexus 4 on StraightTalk's $45 unlimited plan. Finding a One X without a cracked or replaced digitizer is not easy.

Okay guys, if all goes well and I can grab the Nexus 4 today off craigslist for 350 this will be my last day on the doubleshot. I have to start emailing the posters to see if they still have them but I got the cash for my Nexus just have to get it in time.
I will NOT leave you guys out in the cold either. Ill still be around and will still do everything in my power to help you guys. And to think my mind went absent enough to think about iOS....anyways I hope to move some SWaRM stuff to the nexus as well

Well there really isn't enough phone to judge the build quality. It kinda feels awkward in my hands too, but I'm a little dude so I'll get used to it. Its super thin and really light weight, but being all glass the back tends to get slick if you have sweaty hands, and gets dirty really easy.
The camera seems to be a great on in lighting but it will never be as crisp as the doubleshot. Here is the first pic I snapped of my daughter
So I'm so far very satisfied with what pure Google brings to the table.
Later I'm going to look into root/su and one of the many 4.2.1 ROMs out. But I think I could stay stock unrooted and be fine.
The ui smoothness is about on par with doubleshot. That's all I got now man, I haven't played much

**EDIT**
OK so the phone is a pure dream to run, but the screen is no where near as crisp as the doubleshot. I'll take side by side pics tomorrow for you all.

I'm sure glad to hear you're getting such a hot little phone but it DOES seem like there should be some recourse for the DS not making it to you. With a bit of luck, you may end up with a new DS too!

Getting root on this thing was one command ./fastboot oem unlock then i was able to fastboot recovery and flash su in about 2 minutes. I'm in heaven now guys, just flashed Paranoid Android v3+ its the first release candidate but its freaking smooth.
And yeah i was thinking today if the ds does come its def going to be used for you guys

I'm still skeptical on whether an enormous screen can really compensate for the lack of a real keyboard.
I have seen the note 2 in person, and my god it's huge. How anyone can carry that around as a phone is beyond me. It makes ANY other phone look mini in comparison.
Depending on how big your hands are, you can't even touch all parts of the screen with one hand. So one handed usability does drop a bit.

The bigger screen makes it so easy to type. I've had a slider phone for the last 3 years and its a breeze changing over to all touch typing. The big issue at first was the lack of physical buttons, and I'm still getting used to that

I'm also in the process of seeking a new device. I've really enjoyed the ROMs that have come out for this device but feel it's time to move on and hand this device down to my kids. I'll also be more than likely going to a nexus 4 for price and support on the forums.

Obviously not staying with VZN - the handwriting is on the wall - will probably go with Tmobile or Sprint. Don't really utilize the features that TW brings to the table, so not having the ability to use AOSP Roms is a deal breaker. Might also have to give up some cell coverage for flashing freedom, but well worth the trade off for me.

I have the htc one m8 and the new gs5, I prefer the htc one m8 and my Lg g2 Samsung dropped the ball on this phone

Not so much S5 vs M8, but VZN vs other carriers that do not lock down their phones. I first and foremost will be changing to either Tmobile or Sprint. Call me spoiled, but after years of being able to flash whatever Rom suits my fancy, I will not (and at this point) do not have to give that up. Will I have to sacrifice some coverage to get that - yes, but a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
After that, I will probably wait until the batch of phones (LG g3, Sony Z2, Nexus 6, Oppo Find 7 etc) hit the market. Not impressed enough with the improvements that either the S5 or M8 have brought (processors, display, camera) vs their predecessors to change over right now. I'll stick to my loki exploitable S4, and come summer or early fall, say good-bye to both Samsung and VZN!

Verizon has definitely dropped the ball here!! Bad! They took away 2 of the s5 main features! But I still like the s5 over the m8. I have both. I will say the boomsound is unbeatable, yet everything else goes to the s5 in my book. Battery life is almost twice as good, camera seems better, overall feel in the hand is better. The m8 is just too heavy. Both are high quality phones for sure but I personally think the s5 wins, in spite of big red being the evil step parent beating us with the nearest available object in public. ....

Which 2 features are missing? The quick glance (I think that's what it was called) that I could do on S4 was nice. Where you wave your hand over the front sensors to see time and notifications while it's asleep, seems to be gone. I really liked that. The S5 does feel good in hand. Really enjoying the dimpled back. Feels nice. The display is lovely has well. As we all have our own opinions, I enjoy the M8 a bit more. I love Sense.. Now. I'm a vanilla Android guy and was really shocked I liked sense and blink feed. Shocked lol. I actually find it easier to hold in one hand than S5, by a bit. I can type easily on the M8, not as easily on the S5. Camera, that has me confused. Love the M8 features and UI. For me, quality is better in certain situations and better on the S5 in situations. Obviously, with the S5, you can crop to your hearts content and that's a big advantage. Either way, IMO, both are great devices and as Android users, we're lucky to have these options.

True. Although for me I just want something new and shiny because I get bored. Arguably I didn't need to upgrade from my S3 but I wanted to. That said, it's not like I am looking for my next handset yet. Loads of life in my 5 left over.

I always get a little jealous when a couple of newer phones than mine have come out/are coming out. I have no desire whatsoever for a Galaxy S4 or HTC One M8, but the Sony Z2 is shaping up to make me a bit envious. Ultimately though I know my N5 is going to give me a far easier ride when it comes to modding it, stuff just works properly on it.

That there. That is why I buy nexus devices. You don't have to jump though hoops to modify it. I had an HTC one before this and you had to go through HTC dev and then gain s off and everything else. Heaven forbid if you need to go back to stock for repair purposes. Pain in the ass.

True, however it would be nice to see what the devs would like to see on their upcoming phone....and from the latest news, it looks like the Nexus 6 is going to be announced at the end of july. Not to mention, more than likely, with iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy s5 about to hit in mid-end of April, Google will want to release something to compete with the hype. Every article I read stated it would at least have a 2k video display and would follow the lines of the nexus 5 with the upcoming LG G3...so another clone from what I understand, and if that's the case, it looks pretty promising.

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.
*edit I'll also leave this little gem

If it's that big of a deal, you'd nut up and eat the difference, genius. I at least offered a solution that would get you M quicker than whining about it.

Waiting for the mm update patiently no problem... My moto pure working like champ, love this phone...

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.

Loving Marshmallow as well !!!

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
