What the heck is the V2? Is it coming to verizon?
Edit:
I looked it up and that phone looks like a m8 and a droid turbo reproduced. I like it, but the odds verizon gets it is slim to none.

It was shown at CES 2015. You can buy it online later this year and use a Verizon SIM card because it supports most commonly used bands.

Seems by the numbers to use a Snapdragon 801 not 805. My guess would be it never comes out or if it does it will be up against all of the soon to be released octa-core phones.

Haha that's why I said about the same amount of power as the Turbo. But it's a small difference. The 801 is only clocked 0.2 GHz lower than the 805 both they are but still quad core high performers none the less.
Wow a phone with root and 320 gb, 13mp front camera. That's my next phone.
Here is pcmags write up on it.

I only have one problem with the V² though is that it's a LCD screen so the blacks aren't going to be as deep as an LED panel but beggars can't be choosers I suppose. It's suppose to sell unlocked for about $650 (Correct me if I'm wrong on the price). The SD 801 I can live with.

820? You mean 810?
Edit: I stand corrected. It seems there was a leak about the SD 815 and 820 a few days ago.
Hell, when this thing finally gets released the 820 might have been announced. With only a 1080p panel it should more than suffice.
Caveat - Their previous phone was never released because it never made it past FCC regulations. I wouldn't hold your breath on this one. OnePlus had manufacturing to back up the One. These people don't.
The V2 was created for XDA. Optionable root built in, multiboot from sd with a ton of storage. So many roms you can run at once.

And even after that - it lags (only a few times but QUAD S4! - unforgivable), no removable battery and fugliest interface ever. It'll definitely wipe other phones... so they can look shiny and new.
Until ofc. it gets proper CM10 - THEN it'll kill.

Sorry didn't get completely what you meant to say my bad
Maybe now the s4 pro owners will be able to use emulators at full speed xD on dual crait the SoC sucked totally at this point^^ personally I dont care about this^^ my s3 int. is still better imo the only thing my phone lacks is LTE, but at the time I got it it wasnt available at europe.
I'm sorry to say this but this beat the hell out of our S3 in general...
But i'm happy for two reasons...
1)Lg's ui sucks...
And
2)When we'll have android 4.2,5.0 or whatever they'll still be stuck in the previous version as always!
As this thread is off topic and will probably be locked soon, i just wanna say i personally would forget about anything LG releases. Take a look at their 'flagship' optimus 2x and the fact that it was released when gingerbread was the latest and despite ics and jellybean's release, it is still on gingerbread today! I have absolutely zero confidence in LG in terms of android upgrades and would never recommend anyone to buy an lg android phone.
My apologies for the off topic rant.. Just felt the need to put the warning out..

Yup all true but if you are on XDA I don't care about official rom upgrade/support. I will personally go for best hardware there is.
Launched with Ice Cream Sandwich? Seriously?
This thing has nice specs but software and device support is also just as important.
It's running an OS that was launched October of LAST YEAR, on top of it it will have LG's nasty UI overlay.

Lol.. I hope your not talking about the SGS3..? If you are, it doesn't make you look very intelligent. "Stupid piece of plastic.."

Haven't make a purchase but I am also stuck deciding between the 2. What is important to me is root access and tethering, camera less so. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems from reading the Ultra/Maxx forums that root could permanently disappear with the next OTA. Or I could get the Maxx developer edition, probably have permanent root (am I wrong here also) and perpetuate my unlimited data plan.
Just seems like there is a lot more developer activity happening for the G2. Also battery life appears comparable to the Maxx.

FYI Hashcode just released safestrap for MotoX (and so very likely the Maxx). Should be able to use that to grab updates/updated roms.
I own both phones and the G2 is better then the Maxx in every aspect. Hardware (processor, audio chip set, screen, ir blaster), UI customization, camera, development, except for build quality. The Maxx has Kevlar backing and a louder speaker vs shiny plastic and I think mono speaker. You could say better battery and radio but honestly it's about same strangely.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
I personally base my decision off the software of each phone. I had an s4 and while it was good I enjoy my Maxx leaps and bounds more than I did my s4. The s4 and g2 are different but they are both skinned versions of Android where the Maxx is mostly stock. Also the active notifications and the touchless control are features I've actually used in the short time I've had it, yet I never used the s4's features. Finally, my maxx has yet to lag at all due to the fact that stock android runs smoother than most skinned versions. Just my 2 cents
I really wish that people would relax about the specs of phones these days. The quad cores are so freaking overkill on a phone it's silly. The Maxx is totally optimized as a phone and runs as smoothly as ant phone on the market. And if you're counting cores, the maxx has 8. By my count, that's double the G2. The 1080 vs 720 screen? Are you kidding me? It's a 5 inch screen! The human eye cant tell, people. it's a joke!
The maxx is a better phone. It's bare-bones android and has some incredibly cool, useful stuff. Knock on? big woop. give me touchless control and active notifications over that.
It's pissing in the wind, I know. But all this spec war nonsense is nothing but that. Nonsense.

Thank you for this. It's refreshing to see someone else with a bit of sense. While I will say the G2 has a nice camera, everything else about it seems cheap to me. I hate shiney plastic. Another reason I sold my S4, Note 2, S3 and the other phones I've used in the past several months.
I love Motorola's build quality. Even the One has had some quality control issues (seams not lining up).
Anyway, still befuddled as to why people praise other devices and how much better they are in a Droid forum.... Opinions are fine, but at least put some facts in or anything more than "it's just better" because I said so.
Sent from my Droid Maxx using Tapatalk 4
if its about the camera quality..then I would say G2 is better than Maxxx....but if it is Motorola vs LG then I will say Motorola is far much better than LG...because the build of Motorola is very much impressive as comparable to LG
Being that I finally got my maxx and have played with the G2 bunch of times.. We have a g2 on display at our store now.. I would choose the maxx.. Besides the camera which is getting fixed with a software update its a great phone.. I can't really find anything wrong with it to complain about

The maxx has a total of 6 cores. 2 for the cpu and 4 for the gpu. And IMHO, that droid maxx is perfect except for the terrible camera software (which is fixed with a 3rd party camera app like camera360 ultimate), the lack of external storage, and the inability to remove the battery. I LOVE the minimalistic version of android! This phone NEVER lags! <3

1) Every Adreno 320 has x4 cores(Nexus 4, HTC one, S4 US ver), Moto is the only one that places any emphasis on this
2) The LP contextual core and natural whatever shouldn't even be considered as cores. Why? Because every little thing would be counted into the core total. Let's take the S600 SoC for instance. It has the 320(x4 core), x4 CPU, and an audio DSP(x1), does this mean it's a 9-core system?
Moto's interpretation of cores is misleading and is a marketing scheme.

Without any real standard as to what constitutes a "core" in the mobile space, as opposed to the PC world, I think it's important now that companies are starting to be "creative" with their marketing that we specifically call out what they are saying are cores, lest we be taken by surprise.

I know it's early folks, but i did some searches on LG G4 just to see what came up, and a few articles I came across are saying "this is what you can see in the LG G4. Of coarse they are just rumors, but this would be one powerhouse of a device.
64-Bit Qualcomm Snapdragon Chip (808)
Dual Channel RAM Scaling To 4GB (2×32 Bit-LPDDR3)
2 Inch Ultra Pixel Camera Sensor With OIS (21 Mega Pixel)
4K Video Recording At 60 FPS
4600mAH Battery (New Technology)
5.7 inch UHD IPS Panel 3840x2160 (772 PPI)
Android 5.0
Bigger Rear Power Button Acts As A Touchpad
Front Facing 2 Watt Stereo Speakers
I'll tell your this, some specs will get nerfed and rumors will blow things up. I always thought the g3 will have an 805 snapdragon.
There is probably *some* truth to this. I heard that its common for manufactures to always work ahead like that. I read an article from an LG rep who was talking about the designing of the LG G3 while the G2 was being released. Basically as soon as the user reports start coming in on what people liked and didn't like about the G2 they got right on development for the G3.
I think car companies are they same way. If you were to go to a dealership today and buy a 2014.5 or 2015 model, they are probably already working on the 2016/17.
My guess is that this is because It takes awhile to manufacture and build up an inventory before a release. And rather than sit on their butts they get working on the next project.
I could of told you this as soon as the specs for the G3 were confirmed.
As soon as the Note 4 comes out, Note 5 rumors will be .1 bigger screen, bigger battery, 815 snapdragon, 4gb of ram, 20mp camera, Android 5.1 and so on...

Easy enough to import if you dont mind the price and more than likely locked bootloader.
If i pay $1000 for a device the damn bootloader had better be unlocked!

I would never spend an extra $400 for a device with a mildly fast cpu/gpu and locked bootloader.
Im happy with my slow snail performing 801 lg g3 with unlocked bootloader lol. [emoji57]
Well obviously there's something in the works. It's not like when they finalized the G3 their whole development team takes a six month break. The instant the G3 hit the production line they started working on the next.
The rumors are just rumors though. Absolute guesswork with nothing but 'well based on the upgrade from G2 to G3..."

I got the T-mo LG G3 a week after it came out.
I'd be pretty bummed if a g4 comes out soon, g3 would be on back burner.

yeah, i am experimenting with messing with roms. hopefully i can contribute to the g3's development in some way.
As others have said, of course they are working on it and of course it will be better spec'ed. I think though I can honestly say I don't care, I gave my g2 to my daughter months ago while I played around with other phones waiting for the g3 and really, for my uses the g2 is just fine. It feels like a better device in day to day uses compared to my g3 and ROM support naturally is better. I think I am finally going to just stick with a phone for a while instead of always jumping on the next big thing so to speak. Only reason I would consider swapping phones again for is if android suddenly requires a 64bit cpu or we never get AOSP based builds.

I heard LG G5 will be even more powerful..so surprised !!!
I recently made the switch to Verizon and a contract of 2 years. I still have my family plan with tmobile, just gave my phone to the rents'.
Had to have better coverage for my area, but also realize these phones anymore all in all do generally the same thing. I'll be rocking this g3 for sometime I'd imagine, unless something crazy comes out and if so, sell this one and get the new one. Like old school jump program, lol!
Really though, it's gonna have to be crazy!

Chh, the G5 is nothing compared to the G6!
I heard the next one will have a 17.3" screen, fold-out keyboard with touchpad, multiple USB ports, gigabit LAN capability, upwards of 2GB graphics, and a 64-bit i7 processor.......oh wait....
The newer moto G beats its predecessor in terms of
Screen size (from 4.5 to 5.0)
Camera (5to8mp rear and 1.3 to 2mp front)
Memory expansion slot
There is no 4g support
Only downgrade is the pixels per inch or ppi . Same number of pixels in a larger screen means lesser ppi or in layman terms a bit less sharper screen.

I know there is a huge market for budget phones with big screens... but I think this is too big... same for the new Moto X.

5" is the ideal screen size for a smartphone nowadays (apparently)
For most of the people here in india larger screen means a better phone..
Although i run a nexus 5 currently i would still luv a 4.3" screen size as i myself find 5" phone too big to carry

yup, 5" has become all too common nowadays, sweet spot would be 4.3" or 4.5".

Well thanks anyway for a response... I'm giving Galaxy Grand to my mom....
my taste of buying a phone changed to tablet... and bought Nexus 7 2013 (Wifi 32GB) from Flipkart at Rs. 16k :laugh:
Got one for the wife. Should be delivered sometime today. They came by yesterday but we weren't available so they will drop by today.
Seems like the model in India is the XT1068 and the Indian MOTO site says it has a Digital TV Tuner, but from the looks of it, the XT1069 is the only one having it.
False Advertising?
Got the phone. Any questions?
Its a XT1068.
There is a WHITE LED on top, not a RGB.
Screen is quite crisp and sharp. You could hardly notice any loss of sharpness in comparison to the Moto G 1st Gen.
Speakers are MUCH louder
Build Quality is superb
In the box, I got the Charger (USB CABLE NOT INCLUDED) nor does it detach from the charger and Headphones.

Here are some quick images taken before my meeting.

I'm thinking about buying this phone, but not immediately. In a month or so, I think, when I have money
Plus waiting a month or two makes sense considering there's talk that they'll remove the invite system by then.
Other than that, very excited for this device. Looks absolutely beautiful. Sure, its similar to the Xperia design, but that doesn't make it bad. In fact, I love the design all the more for it.
The SD801 is a fine choice I think. It still performs very well. And I wasn't really expecting the 808 or 805 for this price anyway. NFC isn't essential at all, imho, here in India. Rest of the specs look good too. And the 5' display is plenty big for my small hands.
And the main point to be considered - the development scene. Both the OPO and the OPT have good dev backing, and I'm hoping this device will as well. I'll be keeping an eye on the forums to stay updated about the development, the coming month or so should give a better idea in that respect.
But even so, I'll say I'm pretty locked about this phone, its ticking all the right boxes for me.
Hope I get this baby soon :fingers-crossed:
So I was fixated on buying the Moto X Style until yesterday ... (OnePlus 2 has that frying hot 810, so had to eliminate it).
But then seeing the OnePlus X , I'm almost inclined toward buying this over Moto X Style ...
The major reason being :
1.Manageable size (5 inch is just perfect)
2.Micro Sd card slot
3.AMOLED display
4.Very Very Cheap !!!
The major disadvantage that I see here, over the Moto X Style is that
1. It doesn't have service centers as good as Motorola
2. The compromise that users are forced to make, either choose 2 sims or 1 sim + Sd-card .
3. Lack of storage options (Only 16 gigs).

Right, I'm a little worried about their after sales service as well. Do you happen to know if they have any service centers around NCR?
Other than that, I personally use just one sim, so I don't mind that much. And 16gb storage is ok too, since I can just use a micro-sd card along with the one sim I have. But I agree, that is kind of a workaround and I can see 16gb being very less for people much more media-centric than me. They should have provided more storage options.

It's not about being media centric any more .... The thing is now the google apps have become much bigger and are producing large amount of Cache data for analytics and making our user experience faster .
Even on lollipop on my moto g (AOSP based rom), the cache data generated in one month was around 1 GB with bare minimal apps.
Plus the Moto X Pure is getting just 8 GB usable memory in 16 gigs version !!! 8 gigs is too less according to me,even if you want to use atleast 40% features/apps of a smart phone (email,photo's and stuff) .
But Marshmallow is introducing new Memory feature, which enable users to club the internal memory and the Sd-Card , but then the speed of Sd-Card can never match the speed of internal memory,so there will be a slight delay in opening apps ....
Storage is always a subjective feature, but then again it's good to be a bit future proof than living on edge ... That being said I don't think there will be any major disadvantage ... thanks to new Marshmallow Memory management option !
hell yeah!!!i am getting this device!finally a 5" phone!i will cry now...but are you sure only 16gb internal model?:/
EDITh,only 16 gig version :/..okay,btw that glass at the back is also a gorilla glass?or just a simple glass?
one plus x vs xiomi mi4
hi!
can anyone suggest which one is a better buy, one plus x or mi4? considering after sales services of both and the fact that mi4 is going to be sold at a reduced price on 3-5 nov. (both of them are way similar in specs except amoled display and sd card support in the X).
thanx in advance!

mi4 is an incredible device but the problem is the software..it is still running on 4.4 and that too is buggy(miui has lots of bugs) and i have no idea and nor i think,you will ever get a STABLE marshmallow(though there is official cm12.1 right now).

considering the kernel source of mi4 has been released there's been an incredible developers team supporting it! even my galaxy grand duos has a marshmallow build(with some bugs, only single sim working), so there is a very high probability tht mi4 WILL get marshmallow and i'm planning to install cm12.1 on day 1.
my main concern is the after sales services, or lack thereof, of one plus!

Does OnePlus X have LTE on both sims? Not that I'm going to use two, I'll need the slot for SD card. Just wondering.

Pretty darn solid device. Never heats up. There was a software update right out of the box. Camera is better than expected. Will try some outdoor photos in daylight tomorrow. The cover/case provided is not cheap.. but soft.. and should provide ample protection. Speaker sound is good. Overall, a brilliant phone.

I believe LTE is not the sim card "slot" dependent, but on the phone's hardware. As they've been advertising it as an LTE phone, it should support it on both SIMs.
