What will realistic Project Ara phone be and what price will you pay?

Hello,
With this being talked about now, what will your realistic Project Ara phone have?
Mine is pretty simple:
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.3GHz
Adreno 330 450MHz
2 GB RAM
3.8 V 2300 mAh, 8 Wh, Qi wireless charging
Slide out QWERTY physical keyboard
4.96 in (126 mm) diagonal IPS LCD with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 (1080×1920 px (444 ppi))
8 MP with OIS, f/2.4 aperture and Xenon flash.
1.3 MP Front Camera
3.5 mm TRRS
GPS
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac
Bluetooth 4.0
NFC
Infrared port
Every damn radio band so I can use GSM/3G/4G all over the world
Now that I look at it, this phone sounds pretty familiar.........
My price range would be $400 - $500
What about you?
Also, lets keep it realistic, real (no transformer from phone to PC or fantasy crap) and considering phone/budget of each person. Basically what Project Ara is really about and can offer.
Im editing the title again: Please keep it realistic Who knows what people are reading this thread. If we post things like 8K resolution screen phones for 200 bucks, we cannot keep this realist.c

I'd be willing to pay up to $600 for a device with 8GB of internal storage with an external storage option, a 21Mp camera with OIS and various low light optimizations, It needs to be at least dual core running at no less than 1.8 Ghz, it needs 2Gb of RAM, an adreno 330 GPU, a 4.7in screen with a resolution that's above 720p, wireless charging, ALL the radios!, wifi 80211ac, a front camera that has 720p recording and is at least 1.3mp, extremely tunable audio quality, and a slightly curved screen.

Just asking for a good DAC and a curved screen will shoot it up more than $600
I based off mine a existing phone and depending on that raised the price compared to it...

For me:
Top-line specs (cpu ram etc...)
But the extra stuff i would buy into it is a good DAC (digital analog converter). I like to hear quality music.
And a best of the bests camera with a big and fast sensor (maybe foveon x3), 3diagonal OIS, led+xenon AND full manual control in it's software. I want to control shutter speed, ISO, explosure, OIS on/off, timer, intervalometer, HDR, brust mode, pixel oversampling and RAW capturing.
I don't want to take photos like on DSLR, but these things are good to have in the creative process :--)

By the time ARA is available this will be a bit old
But I would take high specs with 3000 or 4000 mAh so it would last more than a day

Because my 2100mhA battery on my nexus 4 only last the day on usual use but can be drained by half on my 1h commute if I stream music while playing games

An HTC One with modules and i'll be happy

Thats why you do and that is not normal usage (internet, music and games)
The phone I do (PHONE) does WAY more than any phone I (or most people) can ask for.

Really i want there to be clean choices.
saying you want a snapdragon 800 in it or a 21 megapixel camera wont help you if that phone comes out in a year or so.
An option to get it pre-assembled.
A rating system for blocks, if you replace a block, ask you to rate/comment on it after a week or so.
More then one company making them.
Multiprocessor support. Get your Snapdragon and your Exynos. More power. Maybe limit that to just more then one copy of the same chip though, i do not see how it would work otherwise.
A separate block that contains the headphone jack, usb, ... so that it can be replaced without replacing the more expensive components.
A small internal battery, so that you can exchange the battery block without rebooting.
Different body shapes. Tablet--Phablet--Phone--Phone with keyboard
An E ink screen option.
Price, depends on components.
An E ink phablet-phone is something else then a DUAL-Tegra with 3 extra battery blocks, 4k screen and no radios except wifi.

- separate DAC/amp (i imagine these will be built into the SoC so hopefully OEMs can make modules that override this)
- 4000mAh battery
- landscape QWERTY
- probably a screen no bigger than 4.7" given that an overly large screen would make using the keyboard untenable
- camera module with a decent sensor size & xenon flash
- multiple SD/microSD card support
- projector
i don't imagine you could have all of these modules on the phone at once though

I'd love to have a phone with a 4.3" 720p AMOLED screen and a Pureview Camera with a hardware shutter key.
CPU would be an Intel Atom paired with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Also, dual-boot with Android and WP (or whatever OS I want to put on there)
Oh, and the price? $500, maybe? (modular, of course)

I should have added that please make the phone and price realistic; Some of you are saying technologies such as PureView cameras when that is a trademark by Nokia and Nokia would NEVER open source it (with reason and I agree with them)

Independent vendors such as nikon, canon, etc.. might produce modules and provide propietary bins.. nokia as motorola's competitor would probably not agreed. W/o seeing the mdk, I can only guess companies [and a few gifted individuals] would have the resources to develop, nano-cize and produce said modules.. or will motorola be taking a you design.. we produce line.. Future looks exciting either way.. I'd pay $600 for full phone [base + enough modules to make it standard] but in just [visually] glancing the [proposed] module spacing, we'd be lucky to get battery you suggested.. Doesn't seem room unless thickness added [or two module spaces used].. which is/are a bleh idea(s) imo.

Your Nexus 6 :)

Hi everyone
I wanted to find out what your personal Nexus 6 specifications would've been if you were in charge of deciding on final specifications. Keep in mind the costs of production and selling price to keep things grounded in reality. I've been thinking about this a while as I keep reading negative points on the Nexus 6, positive points on the Nexus 6 as well as information about upcoming and current phones in the market. I wanted to see just exactly what people want from a Nexus device in a nutshell.
I also thought this could be a bit of light hearted fun
My specifications:
Processor: quad core (or higher) 64bit processor
RAM: 4gigs
Screen: 1080P or QHD with very high brightness & vivid colours (e.g. Note 4, iPhone 6+)
Rear Camera: 16mp 1/2 sensor, dual flash
Front Camera: 4-5mp camera (flash optional - not sure if possible)
Screen Size: 5.5-6"
Body Thickness: 6-7mm
Memory: 32gb, 64gb and 140gb options
Microphones: 4
Speakers: Stereo dual front facing
Battery: 3,600mh+
NFC: Yes
Qi Charging: Yes
Waterproof: Yes (same or higher than Galaxy S5; the current Nexus 6 waterproof is expected to be more 'water-resistant')
Finger Print Scanner: Yes
IR Blaster: Yes
I believe my specifications are completely doable by today's technology and they would easily be able to sell this device at the same price or even $50 more while still maintaining a profit. Even if it is not currently doable today, I believe this phone is totally viable by March 2015 when more 64bit quad core chipsets are released.
I don't think I'm asking for much as basically all my specifications exist today and are included in many phones (at least more than half).

the problem is if such a phone exist then it will be the perfect phone...and there is no need to upgrade even after 5 years....and it has all the best things of all the phones and this isnt possible....

sorry didnt read OP correctly

Nexus 6 plus sd card slot, removable battery, and ir port. Oh and a weight of less than 150 grams. Otherwise for right now I think the nexus 6 is perfect for what I want. Next year then everything would change.
Hopefully by next year project ara is out and we can build our perfect phone. I'm so looking forward to that day!

The Qualcomm 810 64 bit big.Little kits should be out first half of 2015 from what I've read. I am fine with the N6 as it is today in 64gb format. SD card slot would have been nice but 64gb local storage is plenty for me. If they mess around and delay a VZW release long enough I'll wait to see the 810 64bit handset announcements.... I'm up for edging up Dec 10th. Just have to wait for the actual review of a VZW N6 to go up, see if it's all I expect it to be, and if it's truly bootloader unlock able. If so I'll bite. If not I'll wait.

Exactly like they made it

Sounds like an awesome phone and I know we're just talking dream phones here, but I don't think a 3,600mah battery in a waterproof 6-7mm body with a 5.5" screen is at all doable at this point. The Note 4 and Nexus 6 are larger phones and were only able to manage 3,220mah batteries.
Would be nice though!

For me, the N6 would have to bring a Nvidia GTX Titan. And the state of the art i7 from intel.
Useless thread and unrealistc too. Its also funny because the only thing that you dont know if its possible or not (front facing camera with flash aka HTC Disere Eye) already exists! But a Phone with 4GB ram, body thickness 6-7mm, 3600mAh battery, its very possible at this moment...

Current N6 specs, but in my hand right now.

I'd have added a 64 bit processor and removable battery, everything else the same , the 64 bit processor wont be ready available until next year, and the removable battery is never going to happen in the nexus line so that's that

Body: space titanium
Screen protector: sapphire glass
Processor: last Intel i7
RAM: 16GB
Screen: AMOLED display (~2000ppi/dpi) with absolutely no gaps around the screen
Rear Camera: 1000mp, led and xenon flash
Front Camera: 10mp camera
Screen Size: 6"
Body Thickness: 10mm
Memory: minimum 1 TB
Microphones: 4
Speakers: Stereo dual front facing
Battery: Atomic / nuclear
Qi Charging: Yes
Waterproof: Yes (minimum ip68)
Finger Print Scanner: Yes
IR Blaster: Yes
FM radio: yes
Walkie talkie: yes
Network: GSM, CDMA, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, standard USB 3.0, satellite voice/data connection

I would like this in the Nexus 7 since it is too late to change the Nexus 6.
1. Duo sim cards. I need to have 2 phone numbers. One for business and one for personal.
2. Expandable microSD card.
3. Removable battery
4. Larger battery
5. Snapdragon 810
6. 4 RAM
7. Better camera
Everything else can be the same as the Nexus 6.
I think these are doable for the next version.

I hate when people just put the best of everything in these threads, of course that would be the perfect phone but be freaking realistic(and also original) it will cost 1000+ euro.
Personally for me a nexus 6 with smaller display (and a smaller battery accordingly, you can't have both) at around 5 inch, instead of a 2k display a 1080p well calibrated one and a Samsung isocell sensor, snapdragon 805, 3gb, front facing speakers(so what the nexus 6 already has)
So a mix between a moto x and the nexus 6.

sure in the year 2020 lolz
nexus 6 current specs + plus these addons would have been great: usb3.0 microHDMI, removable battery, microSDslot
prolly the top 4 addons to any NEXUS phones but will NEVER happen

5.5 inch display may be better... But with very small bezels including top and bottom.
3900 Mah battery.
I'm still very eager to see what the unlocked non Verizon version of the droid turbo looks like. That one's even easier to get to perfect (for 2014)...add band 12 LTE and an unlocked boot loader.

I didn't see the thread as useless. I explained above - all I saw were debates; negative, positive and random comments on what people thought the Nexus 6 should have been like so I thought it would be nice to actually see a more clear picture of what people would've liked in this phone, or its replacement.
I'm sorry for not knowing if the front facing camera is possible or not...thanks for your input.

I dont think my specs are a perfect phone at all; if these specs came out now, someone would better them next time and therefore THAT would be the 'perfect phone'. Come this time next year I'm sure the specs I listed would definitely not be called unrealistic since 4gig phones are expected early next year with 64bit processors, QHD big screens (5.5"+), IR, OIS, 1/2.5 camera etc, expandable memory, big batteries etc.

64 bit processor, 4 gig ram and high quality vivd 6" IPS screen. Those are all I'd add to a already great phone.

I plan on getting it. However, I'm very happy with my 2014 X and will wait till the price drops a bit.

Doubt there will be a fingerprint scanner...Moto's head guy isn't a fan of it. I'll be selling my 2014 for the 2015

Dont think they'll go QuadHD. That would drive prices up and moto found a nice market for now. They're not that stablished yet. Also I think the 16GB is gone and no MSD, that would "kill" moto design for the X. Unless moto comes up with a trully insane new phone, I'll remain on my 2014. This thing is still a beast

The n6 was supposed to have a fingerprint scanner but it was ditched. So, it is possible that the next Moto X will have it

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
WHEN THERE WAS DEVELOPMENT OF OPT
MAINLY KERNEL VERSION I. E 3.10
HURREY

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...

Amazon offering for $199

If anyone's interested, Amazon is apparently offering the Moto X 2014 for $199 new right now.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MW...sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165&keywords=Moto+x+2014
I would argue that the X right now is still a better deal than the 2015 G, given that it has the faster (though older) processor, slightly older but far less noisy camera and Moto Voice, as well as a metal frame. Just be sure that Android updates beyond Marshmallow aren't top priority.

I just saw it today... do you think is a good upgrade over a Nexus 5? Or should I wait for something better?

If you're upgrading from the Nexus 5, I'd advise you actually wait for something better, or spend a bit more and get the 5X. You're getting a similar screen (same res, roughly same size, but now AMOLED), a slightly more powerful chip (but that's honestly splitting hairs) and a just as inconsistent camera. The only real upgrades here are the build and slightly newer stuff inside, and unless that's worth $199 to you, then wait.
This is more for people who are upgrading from anything older than 2013 (flagship) or 2014 (midrange), where the difference is going to jump. But from a nexus 5 it's not going to be significant enough in my opinion.

It also doesn't state model but one of the user questions is answered as it being XT1095.
If it is on 5.0 one should be able to root via Mofo and unlock bootloader via Sunshine.
I agree that this phone would be a better deal than the 2015 G.

My resale value! :/

Just got this amazon deal... Its a XT1095 loaded with 4.4.4

Actually, from what I've read so far, the 5X camera is actually pretty good it seems. So I agree. Spend a little more and get the 5X. Plus the big advantage... Updates.
