Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 vs 7.7

What do you think about the smaller screen but it using up more of the form factor?
Our 7.7
Size 196.7 x 133 x 7.9 mm 340g
Screen 166.5 x 103.6 mm 1280 x 800
6.3
Size 168 x 88 x 8 mm 199g
Screen 139.5 x 78.5 mm 1280 x 720
The width is 35% narrower but the screen is only 25% narrower.
I keep my 7.7 in my pocket as it is my primary phone but the Mega 6.3 is much more pocketable. Do you think the 25% reduction in screen size is worth this?

Each to their own. I ditched the nexus 7 as the screen was too small for me, the 7.7 is great though.

I don't see myself going to anything smaller that a 7.7,unless there will be no further production, then I will get whatever big screen is available at that time

I might take a look at the NOTE 8.0
But for now nothing comes close to the 7.7

Yeah the note 8 looks nice even if it has an inferior display. If only our tab had an s stylus type pen it would be complete

I just want the offical 4.2.2 rom for 6800, no more.

Nothing is even close to how good 7.7 is. But mega being more pocket-able might be the only reason I'll even look at it. Not inspired by likes of Note 8 or anything else.

The 4.2.2 for the 6800 is not important for me, the tab does everything it should in ICS and it does it beautifully

I think I would have gotten a note2 if I were going that smaller.. Also, considering you can get Verizon version here in us for 350$, It wasn't even a selection really for me. 7.7 after so many years is still hands down the best tablet.

The new Nexus 7 looks very interesting :good:

yeah nothing is going to top 7.7 form factor and hardware. Still the only oled tablet on the market..

[Q] Nexus 4 or Moto G?

So, yes, I'm buying either of those. Which one do you think I should buy?
I'm going for the Nexus 4, but the Moto G has been getting alot of rave reviews, which led me to asking this question to get you guy's opinions.
Even though the n4 is a year old, its still a beast. What are your thoughts? Moto G or N4?

even I still have a nexus 4, I would suggest to buy a moto g! the price is awesome, the hardware (except the camera) equal or better, and the software will almost as fast updated as on the nexus 4
keep calm and push the thanks button!

Nexus 4 - hardware/updates
Moto G - Less better hardware then N4/Updates tend to be slower/Stylish

I've owned quite a few Android Devices... Will never buy a non-Nexus device after my experience with the Galaxy Nexus and my N4.

Actually the moto g keeps up the the GS4, nexus 5, and nexus 4...get a moto g,

IF you ar eon T-Mobile then a nexus 4 with one of the 4.4 ROMS with LTE baked in is a bargain!

Ignore.. Guess I was wrong.

Some people are making ridiculous claim. The Moto G do not have equivalent hardware of the Neuxs 4.
First off the Nexus 4 is 3G pentaband, it work anywhere and doesn't have to deal with having two different global and US version like Moto G. It have that hidden Band 4 LTE support too.
It have a clearly faster SOC, at 1.5ghz and Adreno 320. The Moto G is slower at 1.2ghz and only Adrena 305. And the N4 have 2GB of ram instead of one.
Lastly, better camera. The 5MP from the Moto G barely cuts it.
Since KitKat is light you might not see a difference, but the Nexus 4 is outright faster.
There are some better factors for the Moto G like longer battery life and out of the box USB OTG support, however it lacks physical TV output. If these factors are important to you, then maybe the Moto G is a better choice. I think KitKat run so well especially with ART, and better battery life by itself may be the killer factor for some people.
However, on the enthusiast side, I am not really convinced with the lacking of roms for the Moto X. I would rather get a used Nexus 4 still at this point, but for buying it as a gift or regular Android users, then I would recommend the Moto G.

If you can possibly ever stretch your budget, get a nexus 5. But if you're strictly limited to N4 or Moto G, then I'd recommend the N4. The Nexus 4 has a slightly bigger screen (4.7inches) and VERY slightly higher resolution (1280x768). The SoC in the Nexus 4 is significantly much faster than the Moto G, don't rely on benchmarks such as Quadrant and Antutu. Use cross platform benchmarks to compare such as Geekbench (For CPU) and GLBench (For GPU). The Adreno 320 in the N4 is more than enough to power the N4 reso allowing it to keep up with devices such as the Nexus 5 and Note 3 since they're pushing 1080p. Customization is questionable for either devices, the question is, do you like a custom back cover for your phone more than a custom ROM & kernel? The N4 will have way more support for ROMs and Kernels. The cons of the N4 to the Moto G is that it has a Glass back, requiring more care if you want to use it without a case. Neither device doesn't officially support LTE, but as far as I know, there is a flashable zip for a custom radio allowing Band 4 LTE. In my point of view, I do not see a reason to go for the Moto G unless you prefer a smaller screen, ability to switch out the back cover for a different color and how it feels in hand (Moto G does feel better in hand, although this is just an opinion).

If you want better performance then definitely nexus 4 because it is still a very high end device. If you are not a power user, only uses basic stuffs then moto g is a good phone at really fair price.

lmao moto g = n4 hardware? ofc no,moto g uses adreno 305 as gpu and our n4 uses 320.its a notable difference in gaming performance.not in system performance tho.

Thanks everyone. Going for the N4. Regarding Moto G having USB OTG, you can get that on n4 with a otg y cable which I will be purchashing, plus a great case for it too so that it doesn't break that easily.
I was already on the heavy side of getting the N4, and you guys just affirmed my "thoughts". And the dev scene is just too good for the N4, which I think would never be that good for the Moto G.
And even if the N4 doesn't get updates after 4.4.1, either I'll get a new device by then or it'll be ported to N4 anyway.

[Q] Question nexus 4 or moto g 2013?

I am planing to buy a new phone, so should i go for moto g 2013 or nexus 4 ? I am getting them for the same price here in India, any suggestions any one?

Nexus 4 if u can take nexus 5

The G '14 definitely has its pros (front facing stereo speakers and I'd bet the camera)
BUT our sleek glass shark (look up what mako stands for) packs 2 GB of RAM and a better processor, which is THE way for being future-proof. Plus the battery life actually isn't bad at all if you know how to manage your device.
The G '14 is newer but that doesn't mean it will be getting better support, and that 1 GB stinks.
Whoops, just read you were comparing with the 2013 Moto G. Well, no way. The only advantage over the N4 is battery life.

Moto x Pure or Nexus 6

I've had the alcatel idol 3 for a few months. Its pretty much pure android and my first pure android phone. I love it, its awesome, but i want a bigger device and i'm done with other oems. Im not buying anything other than pure android for now on. So i'm stuck between the nexus 6 which in theory is faster than the lg g4, and the new moto x pure. I'd love to try out a 6 inch screen, im just fine with lugging it around but the moto x does have the micro sd card. so im hoping you guys can help me come to a decision.

I have the Nexus 6 and it is a awesome phone. I will never buy a carrier branded phone again. Pure android is the way to go for me. I am thinking about buying the Moto X Pure mainly because of the sd card slot and the moto assist features. Both are great choices.

moto x if you want sd card

moto x if you use voice commands a lot.
the X's software enhancements are geared towards using voice commands
One day I hope that google includes these little tweaks into stock android down the line
Customization of "Ok Google' so something as simple as a TV commercial or my daughter on her ipad activating my phone.
When using a voice command to make a call, it automatically goes to speakerphone because most likely if you used your voice to dial you can't really hold the phone. (optional)
Say "what's up" and it will read your unread notifications.
Say "Find my phone" and it will start ringing so you can locate it.
The drive assist is probably my favorite. There are 3rd party apps that do similar things but none of them are refined as moto's implementation.
twist to launch camera
chop chop to launch flashlight
Camera software in moto x has burst mode and slow mo which the N6 doesn't
MicroSD
Nexus 6
bigger screen with amoled display if that's your thing
better GPU
stock android if you're not into the moto features
faster updates
bigger battery (not necessarily means better battery life due to other factors)
I have the nexus 6 and i've been waiting and trying my best to find alternatives to the features my moto x 2013 has and that's pushing me to make the jump to the moto x pure.

Don't forget about the camera, apparently the Moto X Pure is going to be a big difference.

If you want a big screen Nexus, why not wait till the new Nexus phones drop in about a month?

I'm in the same boat! Want a Nexus 6 because of Project fi but also holding out to see if the Moto X Style (Pure) will work on fi.

I love my N6 its a great phone at least for me coming from a locked down Note 4 vzw. My reason for switching is the sd card and the better camera, the N6 camera while not the worse its not that great compared to others. Also the slightly smaller size will bet better for my pocket.
I think either is a good option.

I've had both the Idol 3 and the Nexus 6. I'm hoping that either the Pure or Huawei Nexus ends up being a good choice for me. I like the lightness and thin profile of the Idol 3. The N6 is a brick by comparison. I'd love to have that weight and size in a more powerful phone that has the kind of ROM/kernel/root support that the N6 has. I'm hoping that either the Pure or Huawei Nexus matches my wishes. I like it that the Pure is almost the exact same size as the Idol 3, other than thickness. And at 5.7", the screen is only a quarter inch smaller than the N6's. I look forward to having a look at its display. The Pure should be faster than the N6 and it supports a Micro SD card, a very nice convenience. It has the benefit of similar technology, but a year newer.
I'd also wait until the end of the month to have a look at the Huawei Nexus. It's very likely to have all the benefits of a Nexus phone, a major plus when you get used to that. We'll find out how the details of it play out.

Because they are the ugly ducklings

well amazon has the nexus 6 on sale (350 for 32 and 399 for 64) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R1984DI?tag=at88-20 I think I will like the moto x better

That's compelling for people who don't need microSD slot in their phone. Nexus 6 32GB is 100$ cheaper than Moto X Pure 32GB. That's very big savings! Not for me though... I want my microSD slot, better camera and stereo front speakers.

I would say go for the Moto X Pure. I have the LG G4 and I absolutely love it... but I'm switching to the Moto X Pure and am choosing it over the Nexus 6 simply because of the size fits more realistically, the camera is MUCH improved over the Nexus 6 and Moto Assist features take the stock Android experience to a new level.

Ended up getting a white 64gig Nexus 6. Yeah it doesn't have a micro SD card but I'll manage to get over it. Waiting to see if someone gets Google fi working on the Moto X Style Pure before unpacking the N6. If so, then back to Amazon the N6 goes
