I'd say it's a TV antenna for Korean market.

No, its worse than that.

That looks more like a prototype of the g3 than the g4 tbh

Its probably legit since the design of the G3 won numerous awards, likely they didn't opt for a design overhaul. 810 SoC, better camera sensor for low light and better optimized software it seems would be the key selling points for this model.

It is a TV antenna. Most Korean phones have that. I have the Korean G3 and I can confirm that that is indeed a TV antenna.

Look at the baseband version and you will see "m8936" which is snapdragon 610. So this is a mid-range phablet.

I agree that it looks like a prototype, it has thicker bezels (but a much sexier back than G3!!)
The screen looks somehow smaller than 5.5"...?
It could just be another G3 variant like the LG Leon,Spirit and Magna...
I have the feeling that this one will be water-resistant

Maybe its a early G4 prototype with this midrange SOC to check if other system parts are working properly and to wait for an improved SD 810
Edit: Leaker "onleaks" said on twitter that this pictures dont show the G4 but his leaked press renders do:

your pictures are all over the internet ... still if that's the G4 , I'm disapointed

the only reason it has a mid-range SoC is because it is a prototype. why waste the moneys on the SD810

Does anyone know if that widget actually exist? It looks like the best weather widget I've seen. Even the wallpaper is alluring.

Nope
Early rumors even in January 2015 were talking about 808 SoC in G4 and 4Gig RAM. So it's not prototype, LG intentionally fails again, putting Adreno 418 in it's flagship, while other brands put more powerful 420. Samsung will swype LG's sales away, pity & sad but it's true
LG would better put SD815 in G4, not 808

I just found this on google under lg g4 ... This would be nice ...

Galaxy Nexus is HUGE

So today I stopped by phones 4 u on the high street and had a look at the Nexus. I love the design but my God it is big. There's a pic attached to show you the size comparison. The screen is so much better than the XL but its a bit disappointing that it still has a 5MP camera when the XL has an 8MP Camera.
I've fallen for it and will hopefully have mine in my hands tomorrow Will submit a system dump asap. But still gotta figure out how to root it :?

Exactly....look at a picture taken with a very old Nikkon D40 and compare it with any size MP point and shoot, it's not even close in quality. This is like everyone complaining about the lack of an exynos processor, doesn't seem to have any lag in any video or review I have seen. Specs are fine to use, just need to keep them in perspective and use them appropriately.

Thank God someone else knows what I'm saying. The lack of understanding is just amazing to me. People should really do research before talking. As far as I know about the processor, that the processor its using can typically be way overclocked. Plus now that we have full hardware acceleration, things will run very very well.

TI omap 4460 is a 1.5ghz processor that is underclocked for the GN, hence it can be clocked to that for sure and probably up to 1.8 or so. They designed ICS to be optimized for TI Omap processors. Now, I am less impressed with the gpu that comes with it, it is definitely the lowest powered of the top mobile chips. This is a beast of a phone and I hope we see some news on an HSPA version in the US.

LOL. Yeah, it is big. I just visited that site vonapets url'd and compared all my current phones (N1, SGS, Nexus S, Galaxy S II, Thunderbolt, Droid Charge) to the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.phone-size.com/?s=12,13,65,7,85,3 , and it's not much larger, and actually ~25% thinner, than the largest of my phones (the Charge) which fits easily in my slacks and jeans front pockets. Someone wearing painted on jeans might have issues I guess.
The Charge and SGS II are just a little too large for my hands to use comfortably one-handed. My thumb can't reach the bottom left of the phone without putting it in a precarious balanced position. The big 4.3" screens are great, though. I'm afraid the new Nexus might cross that threshold of being to big to be practical for me, but I'll still probably get one. LOL

This attitude. Now that everyone has read a few articles on sensor technology it seems EVERYONE feels the need to school people on cameras.
Yes, it's true, MP doesn't have that much to do with it. But the Galaxy Nexus camera is piss poor. It produces results almost identical to the NS camera, which i feel was essentially the same as the N1 before it. Look how far mobile cameras have come in the HTC titan and the iPhone 4S. For a flagship phone in this price range, this is simply unacceptable. For Samsung, even moreso as the shooter in the GS2 is much better. No wonder people make the 5MP 8MP comparison.
People need to stop being apologetic towards companies, and start calling them out on their mistakes. The processor in the Galaxy Nexus is acceptable, but the GPU is really not up to par with today's superphones. The plastic case construction is an improvement over the fisher-price NS, but still cheap garbage compared to the designs of HTC and Apple, yet they charge the same price.
Enough. Stop trying to school people and school the companies instead. It's the only way we'll get better products.

It's a 1440x2560 display. It is also 6 inches, making the resolution around 490 ppi. Not too shabby but still isn't the same.
can you root it?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
will it have strong dev support?
Can I unroot it if I have to return it for warranty?
How's the battery life?
How do I unlock it?

Acording to GSMarena, it has the same resolution. that being 2560x1440. http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_vibe_z2_pro-6396.php

Yes, 2560x1440 is the same resolution as ours. The lower ppi is due to the extra 1/2 inch of screen size.

Engadget has them as far as I know
Is it worth buying this phone (Vibe Z2 Pro) Over Note 4?
i really like the specs and the build quality feels good too but i was wondering if Lenovo phones are good at all?
The phone is launching here this month.
Currently living in India with my g3, two qi chargers and a spare battery. This 4k battery and its relative low price have me almost ordering it. I probably would have already if it supported qi.
I don't see how this is relevant to the G3.

Super overpriced or super outside of your price range? Find me another 6" superphone with those specs for less money.
As far as why they look the same- it's called design language. It's why all HTCs look similar, why all Samsungs are carbon copies of each other, and why all LGs are hideous.

Verizon doesn't Sim lock any of their 4g devices. So as long as it has the frequencies that your carrier requires then yes it should work, required you update the apns for your carrier.

Yup. G2 and G3 are the most beautiful Android phones on the market, the least bezels, gorgeous screens, innovative button placement, and a skin much better than TW, and both have easy root, unlocked bootloaders and dev support.

I couldn't disagree more. I think their physical designs are bland at best and hideous at worst, their button placement is unintuitive and awkward, and they've officially beaten Touchwiz with the world's ugliest Android skin. They may have great screens and super slim bezels, but that's not enough to make up for everything else.
Of course, this is only my opinion. I'm a tough one to please.
I have only used Moto's not actually owned them so my view might be skewed. The reason they look all the same is cause of costs. You don't really need to pay anything extra if you have the same design everywhere. You just pay extra depending on what and how much material you use.

10mm measured down the center top to bottom...... it curves off to somewhere around 3mm on the edges. In terms of the cross sectional profile the N6 would displace less than the Note 4 brick everyone is comparing it to. I'd rather have a phone that's 10mm tapering off to 3 or 4mm which will be much more comfortable in the hand, than a same size brick that's 9mm (or whatever the competition is) thick everywhere.

I do agree that both the N4 and N5 are great looking phones. The N4 more so. The N5 actually looks and feels like a reference design and not something that was designed to be mass marketed, but again, it's still an attractive handset.
As for the price, what I think people are forgetting is that there have been more full priced Nexus devices than cheap ones. Only the N4 and N5 were priced like they were stolen. I was surprised with the N6's pricing like everyone else, but I certainly don't think it's overpriced at all, considering what you're getting.
And as far as Motorola's designs are concerned, I absolutely love them. They aren't supposed to be flashy, and their ergonomics are unmatched. The original Moto X made me a Motorola fan for life.
I loved My Epic 4G Touch but every Samsung phone has been a disappointment to me since. To their credit though, I do like the way the Alpha and Note 4 look but TouchWiz is an absolute deal breaker. I loved HTC, was a huge fan of the One X, but the M7 and M8 aren't for me. And yeah, the Xperia Z3 is insanely cool looking. The moral of the story is to each their own.

I think the main issue is that people need to stop looking at it as a "Premium Moto X". If you're going to compare it to anything, it makes a bit more sense to say it's an off-contract ever-so-slightly downgraded Note 4 for $175 less.

It looks like a Moto X... aside from that they have nothing else in common. And the fact that it doesn't have TouchWiz makes it a moderately upgraded Note 4

It doesn't mention CM anywhere in the "specs" though, it states ColorOS as the operating system. They're just using the back of the One as an example of what it might look like. I'd take the whole thing with a huge grain of salt.

I read that oneplus two will not be as cheap as the one. If it's true it really will be a pity since it what's make it unbeatable price/performance wise.

The One is only as cheap as it is in order to gain OnePlus some attention and a foothold in the market.

Agreed. I read somewhere on reddit on a oneplus q and a thing that the new phone would be made of more luxurious materials, which wouldn't cost a lot more to manufacture (presuming metal) but would be conceived as a higher quality product, therefore justifying a higher price tag.
At the end of the day they are a business and if what they have been telling us is true (making very little profit) then they'll want to make some second time around.
I think the original is a fantastic phone and is only lacking one major thing for me (800 4g band), so I might well skip a generation.
I still think it's way too early. But I peep dat avatar XO

Yes, it's really a pity 800 band is not supported. It made me a little reluctant on buying the one, I wish there could be a way to activate this band. (I know some people try to do it but, not surprisingly, it seems to really be hardware related)
Am I the only one who just doesn't like a full metal body on a phone? It's just too heavy and slippery. I really like my phones with a high quality plastic case and maybe some minor parts in metal. The new HTCs are a deal breaker for me because of that. The OPO got the perfect combination.
Highly unlikely this is true... Official China OP forum also speculating but mostly treating as false...
And i would have thought OP2 should be more than an incremental upgrade and will have OP's own new ROM, not Color.
Let's see but agree this should be taken with big grain of salt..

Most of it is fake, the rest are just guesses. Probably just to attract the volume to the site.
For example, dimensions are the same as OPO, while front side is almost bezel-free with same screen size? Yeah, right
They probably just found out what will be top of the line hardware in cell phones in 2015, and put the specs.
Wow
looks like OPO specs but with new cpu and os..
I think its fake... some loser pranking us

+1 on this 805 is not much of an upgrade...
Expecting much more from OnePlus. It needs to be a major upgrade to remain relevant; other flagships are going to see major upgrades this year.
I even have a new slogan for them:
One plus two
two times as unresponsive as the one!
I'm sending my second device back now, I will never buy a phone from this company again! I was very happy with the phones at first but after a while it starts getting ghost swipes, unresponsive screen wrong registrations... I really think all devices will get this once the weather gets to hot...
Sad thing is I really love CM12 the design is right the camera's good etc... And there is not really an alternative for that price.
The phone has leaked again on Geekbuying according to an article on Chinese-smartphones.com
$600, no thanks. No phone is worth that much.
I really like my one plus one?. What would make me excited on a new phone is the USB c? Connector so I can not insert the charger cable wrong.
The rest about bigger, better and faster is somehow less exciting...
