I don't understand why this is what moto calls an upgrade. The display is bigger, but the pixel density is lower too, the camera is bumped to 8mp, but everything that really counts, such as the CPU, ram, and the GPU is the same. Even the battery is the same size.....c'mon moto, step it up.
I wish it had a 4.5 - 4.7" screen with an upgrade to the CPU and/or RAM and/or GPU. But I like that it has microSD, FM and front-facing speakers; I don't care about 4G at all. I'm not too concerned about battery life, since anything will be an improvement from the old Sensation that I'm replacing.

Maybe that's why they didn't changed the name. It is essentially the same phone.
Here in Brazil there are only 2 models being sold
8GB, dual sim
16GB, dual sim, DTV
Looks like the model name here is XT-1069 (online stores here are using this code to both models, needs to check)

I dunno where you got better camera from, just cause it has more mp doesn't make it better. I've seen 8mp cameras blow 13mp cameras out the water. And again, what good is a bigger screen if it isn't as sharp, not saying it's not sharp, but it's yet to be seen. Don't get me wrong, I'm buying it, and I have a first gen now, I just think they could've done better. 2gb of ram is the move they should've made, but who am I, I'm just a consumer. Also, extra, front facing speakers are awesome, if they sound good, which is lso yet to be heard. I'm a Verizon ( xt1028 ) user, which is locked down tighter than Ft. Knox. If the boot loader on the gen 2 can be unlocked and the device can be rooted, I'll be ecstatic.

For the money paid the phone is great. I'm not putting the device down, like I said, I own one myself and will be buying a new one. All I'm saying is that IMO they concentrated on the wrong things. Although the display upgrade is a beautiful thing, they definitely should've upgraded the ram. A CPU upgrade would've been nice, but certainly not that important as the Qualcomm 400 is a great SoC.

Hold on, let's also not forget that they upgraded the Wifi chip too. It now supports AC, and it's dual band instead of single band. I feel like that's pretty big.

Yes it is. I forgot about that. That's huge.
Is the dual sim model more expensive than the single sim model ?

It was initially reported to be dual band, I remember clearly reading that, but my XT1068 is single band, and now the specs on the Motorola website say single band.
Unless anyone knows different, I think its just 802.11 b/g/n

Damnnnn..... anyone know if they're releasing a Verizon prepaid version again? I'm starting to think that if they were they would've already done so.
Don't forget that Moto G 2014 has Gyroscope, Moto G (2013) has not.
Moto G or Moto G2?
I thinking about buying a Moto G but im very undecided between the two version
I had a very bad experience with a 5' screen.
Can someone point me if it is worth the new version against the old one?
PS: I thinking in the dual sim version 16gb either way.

I figured I'd make a wish list for the perfect phone that I would trade my og evo for.
A build like the tp2... Yes a physical keyboard
no need for a kickstands with tilting screen
Front camera
dual core processor
gig of ram
expandable memory up to 32gb
Sense 3.0
3d not necessary but cool
Unlocked bootloader
And I'd be happy
what would you trade your of evo for?
5 inch display quad core sense 3.0 uninstallible, fm transmitter so i can strean pandora in the car, uber quality camera on back
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
My perfect device is:
Same build as evo 4g
With power button a little bit popped out more and volume popped up more as well
1080 resolution super amoled plus screen, kickstand,4.5in,dedicated camera buttons, quad core processer with intense graphics capabilities for gaming, 16 gig internal, 4 gig ram,8meg camera(dual for 3D), 3meg front facing camera, expandable 32 gig SD,sense 3.0 ,radio that can handle every carrier like wimax,LTE,edge etc. And unlocked bootloader.
Edit: add Dolby digital sound with hdmi, gorilla glass, and music player with advance equalizer And digital dj, and that can unlock only with your retinal signature meaning by scanning your eye.

And the price tag????
I like the TP2's form factor as well. That might get a little big for my ideal phone since I'd be looking at around a 5" display, but I personally don't mind carrying around a bigger phone. Everyone said the TP2 was too big whenever I showed it to them, until the saw me play movies on it. And lots of reviewers thought the EVO would be too big before it was released. Nowadays it's almost the default size for a top of the line smartphone.
Other than that, I'll go with the suggestions above but add one feature: dual micro SDXC slots, with at least one of them accessible without removing the battery. SDXC just because my 32 GB SDHC card is getting full, and dual cards to make it easier to move files between devices and maintain spare data capacity. You could keep all your apps on one card, and any files / media that you might need to move around on the second one. That way if you've filled up your phone with music / movies / tv, you can carry a spare card in a micro SD reader on your keychain and have nearly as much media as you want with you at all times. and if you want to share with a friend, just swap out your micro SD cards and copy to your primary card.
How about something possible? ;D
Super amoled plus 4" screen
Gorilla glass
Aosp(Google phone)
8 or higher mpx camera(REALLY, REALLY good camera)
Dual led flash
Dedicated camera button, solid like evo 3d
Physical buttons, instead of capacatative
Chrome back
1.2 dual core Sammy chip
Sammy gpu
1750 mah battery
Rectangular phone(no curves)
Front facing 2 mpx camera
USB/HDMI port
SD card slot, accessible without removing battery
1 gb ram
And that's about my perfect phone. Closest I'm gonna get is sgs2
Btw is it possible to have retina resolution with super smiled plus? If so, I'd also want that
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
What I believe possible by next September (when my upgrade is):
4.3 Super Amoled Plus screen - qHD or higher with good pixel density
Gorilla Glass
1.5 - 2 gigs of RAM minimum
(like Nokia N8) 12 megapixel back camera sensor (backlit) with Xenon flash and MyTouch 4G Slide's Instant Capture technology
3 - 5 megapixel front facing camera
AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich
Tegra (Wayne Series) clocked at ??? with its amazing GPU
SD slot accessible without pulling battery (SDHC-capable)
2-stage camera button
1750 mah battery
Motorola Photon's strong radio with LTE
Capacitive/Physical buttons are rendered useless in ICS, so don't need them
Industrial design - no curves, looks like a beast
Made by Motorola - metal/metal designing, no squeaking or light leakage, great build quality
Kickstand: stability of the Photon's (you can flip it over and it works) and the thickness of the Thunderbolt (I don't want some skinny little kickstand - peace of mind)
Flagship Nexus device.
On Sprint.
Unlocked bootloader.
Pure Power.
Exact Physical Architecture as the HTC EVO (button placement and physical build) 5in Super Amoled Plus screen w/ Gorilla Glass

Glad to see other posts here asking for a super high res 5" screen. I totally have room for more phone in my pocket. Would love to see HTC come out with something.
I would have gotten a Dell Streak, but I'm not interested in AT&T's nerfed data plans. I actually get better reception with Sprint too.
My dream phone is the evo4g with
1. Dual core processing
2. Blackberry battery life without looking like the hunch back of Notre dame
3. Rooted
4. Slim slide out keyboard like the Droid 2
5. Dedicated camera button
Sounds reasonable right?

NOTE 2
NOTE 2!!!!!!!!!!
If you watch videos during long train, subway rides regularly, playing video will even be a major leap, than a minor one.
Because of the Galaxy Note 1's 16:10 resolution, if you prefer video to be uncropped, you only used 4.77" of Galaxy Note 1's 5.3" screen when playing a 16:9 resolution video. Pretty much all TV shows and movies are encoded in this resolution today.
However, on the Galaxy Note 2, you will be using all 5.5" to play 16:9 video.
That is 0.73" gained diagonally when playing video. Very significant. But again, only if you don't like cropping to fill the Galaxy Note 1 screen. I personally hate cropping and have never cropped a video on my free will in my life so this is a big deal.

This is for the International version right? I really hope all versions have 1700 mHz support. Or that T-mobile has its 1900 mHz network up by the time I get this phone (if I ever do).
The Note 2 also has a backlit sensor like the GS3 but unlike the first Note.
Given the similarities with the GS3, it seems likely the Note 2 comes with the Wolfson DAC but I haven't seen any confirmation of this.
I can count a total of 10 improvements (11 if you are interested in the 64GB model):
Edit: Supercurio has confirmed the Wolfson DAC which makes it the 11th hardware improvement on each Note 2.
1. Quadcore
2. More RAM
3. Bigger battery
4. Improved Spen
5. Gorilla Glass 2
6. NFC
7. RGB pixel arrangement
8. Notification light
9. Bluetooth 4
10 Backlit sensor
11 Wolfson DAC
Overall I think it's an impressive upgrade and I am not sure why some people were unhappy. I think there was some disappointment with the reduced resolution but it's just a 7% reduction in DPI and is more than compensated by the newer pixel arrangement. And we haven't even mentioned all the software goodies.

Sweet. I wasn't aware of the RGB pixel arrangement until you mentioned it. Everyone just assumed pentile from day 1 and I hadn't heard it was different since. Thanks for pointing that out. Now I want the Galaxy Note 2 even more.

I have seen it called RGB although an unusual variant. After all, there is a red, green and blue sub-pixel in every pixel.

There's no reason not to call it RGB since each white pixel has an R, G, and B subpixel.

HTC M9 / HTC Hima specs
The HTC M9 specs rumored leaked. Same specs as droid turbo. Those specs will be outdated by the time it comes out. They need to step up their game with Snapdragon 810, 16 ultrapixel cam 8mp front cam. 4k screen if possible prob not though. 64 bit processor, 3 gig ram 3gh 30% louder boomsound. I even emailed HTC about it today. I feel they should listen to people about what they need in a phone.

I could care less about the cpu processor at this point. it only can get so good with phones.. The cpu it have now is plenty fine . The camera needs updated, and work on the boom sound some more.
I could care less about a 4k screen
A phone does not need a 64gb processor
so:
-better camaera
-improve boom
-Improve screen
-larger screen
- it will be sweet if they could make the buttons on the side touch
that are just rumored specs, which aren't official yet so yea i assume the real specs will be different!

Who are you. HTC know what they are doing. Most people buy phones every two years, so they are catering to the people with m7s

Most people do NOT buy every 2 years. More like every year , a very small percentage do the every 2 year thing

Wow are you requesting a spaceship?
1- nothing is called M9 it's HIMA now.
2- No 4K screens yet.
3- bigger speakers bigger camera means way thicker phone.
4- 8MP on the front is #fail. You need something like Ultrapixel so image quality will be the same in sunlight and dark conditions. Even our 5MP front camera sucks in low light.

So you did a quick google search to find the first phoney website that reported user upgrade every 2 years. let alone, the article is dated JUNE 2011.. Failed!!! On so many levels
users now are updating every year, that is why tmobile, Verizon,sprint and ATT offers early upgrading. if it was not a niche for it companies would not be offering it
People are upgrading phones when ever they see one they like which is 6 months to 1 year
try again:silly:

Here's my sources http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/...2-inch-qhd-display-and-snapdragon-805-inbound
The Sony Z4 is supposed to be Snapdragon 810 so HTC should be doing 64bit soon since their mid-range is already 64bit.
HTC One M8
I really hope we are not forced to go above 5" if we want a flagship HTC phone.
Fingerss crossed for:
5" 1080p or QHD
8mp+ ultra pixel
805 sOC
2GB or 3GB ram
32GB minimum storage with SD support
minimum bezel (remove the HTC logo part)
Dual speakers
something like
5.2" would be perfect.

Honestly I don't see trend disappearing any time soon. Go figure a phablet in 2011-2012 with the original note was 5.3 now that is considered normal lol
I need
At least a 5.5 with thin bezels like LG.. (qhd wont really matter, apps are not optimized)
16mp/5mp
805/810
3GB RAM
Louder Boom Sound Speakers
Bigger Battery

Do you only know people who are all like us? My mom is using a Note 2, one brother an S4, and my other brother a Note 3. One of my buddies is still using an One M7 . Know a few other people who are using older phones than those too.

No way, this might be the case in the US, Europe, Japan and smaller richer Asian countries but definitely not the majority of the people. It's not affordable for them which is precisely why Google wanted to change their tactics and bring out affordable devices that runs latest Android but at a cheaper price like the Moto G(?) and the Nexus devices(Even though it's not widely available). It's common fact that majority of the users of Android still use old Android versions(Honeycomb, Gingerbread, ICS). This is definitely true where I'm at as well, I see a lot of people with early Android devices, most of them walk with S3s, few people have the S4, S5, HTC One M8/M7 or Sony Xperia Z, Z2 haven't even seen anyone with a Z3.
It's not affordable for the majority of people on this planet and statistics like that should include everyone not just those from wealthy 1st world countries where buying a phone every 6months is the fashionable thing to do.
That being said, this entire topic shouldn't even be here, it should be in the OFF-Topic or general section(Not related to a specific device forum). So I just made my post before the close.

Geekbench 3 Battery Test:
http://browser.primatelabs.com/battery3/65229
There are a lot of 200 dollars phones on the market. And the competition is intense in this price range. Elephone are trying to make an impressively designed phone, and now they achieved a new level of premium design. Now you have a smartphone that's well worthy waiting for. The display aspect ratio is obviously high, almost frameless on the sides. The metal-rimmed Elephone P7000 Pioneer looks sharp and catchy. The speaker is located at the bottom of the phone, which has better sound experience than rear speaker. There is an iphone like touch fingerprint ID on the back below the camera. No more scans, but one touch. The touch ID will recognize your fingerprint from any aspect as it's a 360 degree identifier.
The Elephone Pioneer packs the MTK6752, Octa core 64-bit SoC, due to the high potential of the chipset, it uses 3GB of RAM. And Mali-T760 GPU comes with the SoC, which is still the most powerful GPU. The rear camera is 16MP with sony sensor, and the front camera is 8MP. Furthermore, it has impressive 5.5-inch 1080p FHD display, that's undoubtedly clear and sharp. The battery is not left out for such a big display, it has 3450mAh.
Even more, Elephone will make Android 5.0 and CM available later after the release. And more UIs will be made by their developers and fans. If you want to change your phones and still hesitate about which one to buy, you have another better choice over all, Elephone P7000, 199.99 USD for pre-sale on most china phone shops!

Very nice phone with low price
I have contact elephone but they can not confirm when will they launch the product
If there any coupon code please tell me. Thanks
More than 9mm thick.... This phone is not only a monster, it is a serious BRICK. And with that size having it in your pocket will be uncomfortable . Fail

The phone has a 3450 mAh battery, for that the thickness isn't that bad. The Xiaomi Mi4 is 8.9mm, and a HTC One M8 is 9.4mm. Sounds like you compare it with a bendable iPhone 6 Plus. THAT phone is uncomfortable in the pocket! And I don't care about a thickness a little over 9mm as long the batterylife is good. Rather that, then a thin 6mm phone that only last half a day and goes dead.

Does it have a led notification light? I cant find that anywhere. With the removable battery, fm radio, nfc and expendable memory finally a phone which has it all.

Ok, youve got some solid points there, but for me the main positive point is that elephone is well known for the constant updates, and not forgetting that there are new versions of Android constantly. At least that is what I have heard and I believe, because most chinese smartphones these days come with impressive hardware specs but forget about software. That is the main pro I see here, forgetting the fact that it is a thick phone, I think it is a good option .

There's a promo video of the p7000 on youtube.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xd30pWYfnR0
Assuming that the video is accurate, it should have a Sony sensor. Hope this is useful!
I actually find this one sounds pretty much perfect for me. Anyone see it out for presale with a shipping date?
The Elephone site under new products it says end of April
(sorry can't link it don't have enough posts)
I'm trying to decide whether I just live with the smaller screen of the P3000S or wait a few weeks for this.
New info today!
Elephone P7000 Pioneer Presales begin. $225 with discount code!
The icing on the cake is that Elephone are shipping the Elephone P7000 with Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box. Three colours are available including grey, silver and gold.

Dev comunity?
Where will the back button and recent apps button be? Will it have a dev comunity and support? Other than this, this phone seems perfect
Im concerned that elephone lied about the camera sensor and of course wondering how much they are exaggerating the battery. If its all as it appears in the spec sheet I think this would be great
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Free mobile app
What about ship to Italy from gizchina.com? How long does it take? Are there custom taxes?
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 utilizzando Tapatalk
I just placed an order through the Manufacturer's own retail shop. I'd recommend you do the same.
And yes they have a strong Dev community and lots of future updates on all their phones, not just the
newly released !!
I will report back once I receive the phone.

Great specs and price, but lack of NFC and quick charge support doesnt make this device any flagship killer
Well, moto x style or pure is an better otion for a flagship killer
It got minor improvement over op1 nothing special.
-sd810: a lot of negative things, so sd801 still good.
-4gb ram: its nice to have but I always got 700mb free.
-finger scan: again its nice, but I always swipe to unlock.. much quicker.
-USB type c: reversible good but still slow USB 2.0
-Thicker and heavier.
-No NFC, quick charge, wireless charge, no OTG.
-No USF 2.0 still using eMMC as op1.
I think its a good phone for first time buyer.

Yes i don't think 1+2 is real flagship killer
What this mean IF YOU DON'T HAVE
NO OTG
NO FAST CHARGE
NO NFC
COPY CAT DESIGN OF SAMSUNG PHONES LIKE GALAXY XYZ SERIES EVEN OPO IS BETTER IN DESIGN THAN OPT
NO QHD SCREEN
MONO SPEAKERS
NO REMARKABLE CAMERA
IT WILL NOT EVEN MAINTAIN ITS CROWN OF FLAGSHIP KILLER FOR 2015 (THEY SAID ITS FK 2016)
IF THEY WILL ADD ABOVE FEATURES IT WILL BE REAL FLAGSHIP KILLER
BUT ANY WAY THROUGH XDA DEVELOPERS I THINK WE WILL GET SOME BENEFIT TO OPO

No flagship killer... not even in the discussion.
In fact, their slogan, "Never Settle," should be taken down/ replaced.
Still a great value, but missing the mark in many ways. I think they lost their way with the fingerprint scanner. To keep the price low, that took away from other more desirable/ useful features (NFC, Wireless Charging, QHD, higher pxl density camera, significant battery life).
This might be built more for the international market more than the US market. The Moto X Style/pure looks like the better choice for the US market.
Why isn't both an option? It's a legitimate answer.

both could be an option, but both is not an option at the same time.
What I mean to say is that, the OnePlus One itself is a flagship killer for 2014. True. For 2015 it does hold up on its own (though you have devices such as LG G3, the OPPO Find 7, and I think xiaomi mi note, if you can get it without the bloated price)
But if you take 2015 phones as a basis, the OnePlus Two isn't a flagship killer, because either it never was, or got dethroned by Motorola Moto X Style.
im more concerned about their refusal to scrap the completely ridiculous invite system, after the amount of grief they got last time and the amount of people put off from buying the phone as they were not prepared to wait months they've gone and done it again and come out with nonsense like plenty more invites, well they weren't bankng of getting over 2 million requests so they'll never be able to accommodate all those people, ok some might be multiple email signups but i estimate at least 65% are genuine,
My OPO still running perfectly but at this stage i need a new phone, id love an S6 Edge but poor battery life and ridiculous price tag has put me off, but certainly i wont be waiting months for a 1 + 2 invite so ill be searching elsewhere, maybe Huawei or something.

You're right, not a flagship killer at all... Which makes sense considering it's half the price or less than the premium flagships out there. Just a good buzz word.
As for the Moto phones being good for the US market: I decided on the OPO over the previous Moto/Nexus 6 phones because of build quality problems. I know the OPO had its own issues, but I'd probably trust more in the early releases of the OP2 than these new Motos.
As for right now, I just replaced the LCD and housing on my OPO. I'm in no rush for the OP2, but wouldn't be against it if my invite gets sent out in the next couple months.
Neither ever was a flagship killer lol. These devices are for low budget people. 1+1 always had crappy screen. That yellowish urine at the bottom was hardware issue. While the 1+2 is biggest joke of the year. Whenever I see it get compared to real flagship devies I keep laughing.

Low budget peoples means
My opo is 6 month old no problem at all in software or hardware
Peoples who are complaining yellow tint and touch issues got faulty handsets
PEOPLES WITH OPO=LOW BUDGET PEOPLES
Its not true its because of thinking
YES IT IS TRUE THAT QUALITY OF HARDWARE IS NOT TOPNOTCH LIKE ON SONY/SAMSUNG BUT ITS NOT SO LOW QUALITY
but it has software quality is topnotch
and though we purchased most Premium devices like sgs6 iphone they don't have removable battery its going to die in few years about 5-6
So you have to change your device
so why to pay 50% more bucks when OPO will reach its limits like Premium devices
Open development vs close development software.
I jumped the gun and ordered a oneplus 2. After using it for a few weeks, I went back to my oneplus one. So much better. On the oneplus oneone, software is more stable and smoother, battery life is MUCH better, vibration motor is better, speaker is louder, phone is lighter, edges of phone aren't slippery, phone is much more comfortable to hold, back is flatter so doesn't wobble around on tables when typing, stereo speakers, no useless fingerprint scanner, faster charging, no notification switch that toggles in your pocket. The oneplus one really is the 2015 flagship killer it was advertised to be, but boy does the 2 disappoint.
Well I got a OP2 invite yesterday..
And after doing my normal xda thread reading....
I opted to buy the 64gb OPO and let the OP2 invite expire...
Of course my 64gb bamboo moto x Pure had a small part in my decision
I still think oneplus one really a value proposition . First is its price and second is its features. Although OPT is good enough to beat OPO but later is not a flagship killer mainly because OPT does not have NFC plus some software related issues , which OP need to rectify to be called as flagship killer.
Oneplus one is a beautiful device with CM ....myself used Nexus 4 ,5 for 4 years...bought OPO 1 month back...

Op2, since its the latest and worth the price but opo was the real flagship killer before.
