Hi from Mexico.
After today announcements I get really excited about the new phone regardless the high price, bet then they start to list the countries where the phone will be available: U.S., Australia, Canada, Germany,UK and India.
And that's it, no mention of other countries or even a plan for release the phone anywhere else. I was thinking that now they're moved on from the Nexus philosophy, their approach for the new G flagship would be different, but is has the same pattern as before.
I hope that Google can make possible to purchase the phone in any place, as you know, their main competitor . You could buy the new iPhone almost immediately after the announcement, IMO that's a shame for Google.
So, right now I do want the phone, but I would need to start looking where can I buy it or look for another option, like the V20 or even the Nexus 6P.
Thanks for reading!
I feel the same as you. Only two Nexus devices were officially released here in Brazil were LG Nexus 4 and 5. Cheapest version of Nexus 6P that I can find here amounts to about US$ 620 at a Brazilian Ebay-like website. I'm going to wait for Google Pixel to arrive at the same website, because I've lost hopes of the phone being released here.
I'm also on the same boat... I don't understand why Google just abandoned so many countries... and also this phone is not selling on usual retailers, for ex Amazon (directly).
I don't understand why... didn't they want world domination?! pfff
Why would you buy this if you can get the same and more with the LG v20
Yes! It's really gorgeous....I love it!
i do have to admit that for years, i claimed i would buy new a Htc phone if it was within phablet territory and Qhd.
the no audio jack is such a stupid FAIL though.
When will htc realise that they cant afford to play apples silly games?
I would prefer htc u ultra to the v20, but the no audio jack......... besides samsung and xiaomi will make more stunning phones. than the u ultra

It's also bigger then the pixel XL and v20 by size (obvisoly bigger that the note 7).
No AMOLED and smaller battery.
I wanted to buy this so much but there are so many stupid mistakes.
The headphone jack.is not a big deal.since there is an adapter which is not an issue.
I am thinking of buying this phone, I currently have a Huawei P9 Plus. However the delay in availability, the relatively small battery and lack of 3.5mm jack doesn't make it certain for me. The LG G6 or Samsung Galaxy S8 could convince me otherwise in the next month or so.

Oh I bet they will.
s8 is gonna have a bigger screen on a small body, water resistance and an easy to use headphone jack
people think the adapter makes it ok. it doesnt, cos its a small , extra part that can easily get lost.
i have OTGs , so i know
Htc are releasing the phone that they should have released 2 years ago.
THey are so far behind the times, its beyond stupid for a desperate company
I am never getting samsung again. I had the note 5 galaxy s7edge and the note 7. I hated them all. They were solid, beautiful and the camera kicked ass but the user experience was horrible. I still had the lag and things just crashed.
I think it will be a solid device and will give HTC another chance

Just orderd a blue one. The back of it is so beautiful!!!
Yeah I keep visiting the website and going through the motions to purchase but I keep thinking about a 3000mah battery in a 5.7" QHD device with HTC UI and I just don't know...

I bought it. I had the V20 and their support is crap. HTC over the years has given me far better support than LG has. I ended up forcing T-Mobile to allow me to return my V20 and ended up buying an iPhone since I don't like Samsung.
I understand it doesn't have the 835 and doesn't make me a sandwich but if it provides me with a clean experience like I had with the 10 I would be glad. So far HTC has provided me with a overall better experience than LG and Samsung has given me. I will give it to Samsung about the Note 7 being the best device they made in a while.
I bought one, previously on Pixel XL.
Mine already on the way !

have them here in HK already for sale and to test, they seem ok, but i would prefer oled displays. I'll see if the HTC 11 delivers maybe that will convince me to trade in this s7 edge for it.
Greetings;
Would someone know if there is different variants of U Ultra or just one WW version?
I'm about to buy one from Hong Kong and want to make sure that all the LTE bands are
present for North America.
Thank you.

Why not buy from HTC.com in the US site, it says releases mid March which is only few weeks away. Generally global HTC phones don't have all three US LTE bands. If I were you I would purchase from US site since it also has the OH Oh protection if you break the phone.
My local best buy seems to never have anything in the phone world unless it costs $500 plus even when the website says so. I rather have the G5S Plus but will take a G5 Plus 32GB. Moto says it's sold out of the gray g5s plus. So what stores would you suggest I go look at locally? I'm in a city of 200K so we have the usual stores here. Seems like retailers rather get you inside a store rather than say they are out of stock. My current phone has a fully busted screen so I much rather have a new device asap tomorrow morning. Phone will be used on Metro pcs / T-Mobile network
Thanks in advance

Target and Walmart are both selling the phone in my area. Give them both a call and see what they have in stock in your area.

Not sure where you live, but I live in a rural state and am over 400 miles from any city over 500k or so, and the only place I have found this device is at BestBuy... Almost every BestBuy store stocks it around here, even in Bismarck, ND, they have 13 phones under $200.
I have never had much luck at Target or Walmart for phones, all they carry around here is branded pre-paid devices.
If you live in a bigger city, you have some more options... B&H Photo, MicroCenter, or Fry's Electronics may carry this or something else like it in store.
If you absolutely need it tomorrow, might need to do some digging on Best Buy... Some other options would be Axon 7 Mini (my son has had this phone a year or so, it is extremely under-rated device, nicer than my G5 Plus in most regards for $100 less), Blu R1 Plus (there is a BB exclusive model, almost every store carries it), Asus ZenFone 3 Max, or ZTE Blade V8 Pro. Just about every BestBuy I have seen in the 8 states I travel to frequently stock at least a dozen unlocked >$300 phones, but you often have to dig for them as they aren't always out in the open. I deal with Best Buy a lot, it isn't uncommon in some areas to have to show the person working there the app and say "you have this somewhere and I would like to buy it now, can you find it for me?" and they usually come up with it in some back room stock or something.
Otherwise, as much as I hate to say it, but overnight shipping from Amazon might be worth it.
I was going to start a new thread but the subject thread still applies...
In 2019 does anyone know where to find a 4GB/64GB XT1687? Motorola no longer sells it, Amazon only has their Amazon Prime with locked down bootloader. Third parties aren't forthcoming about what they're offering.
I live in California and purchased one from a fellow Californian but once I got it it turned out to be the Amazon version. Bah! Anyone know of any sellers selling the regular Motorola version.
I like playing with older ROMs. My daily driver since 2014 has been a LG G3. I run and multiboot between KitKat through Oreo ROMs. Fun stuff but I've been through three of those. They fail for one reason or another.
I have other devices but they're either Oreo+ or just too much trouble when going from one Android version to another. Potter has/had googobs of development so there's always something to play with. Granted, Nougat+ I believe but that's cool.
If anyone knows of any reliable sellers for the phone I'd appreciate any pointers.

I saw a few on ebay the other day. That's where I'd get mine from if I wanted another today.
Don't buy them all though so I can have one when my current one dies! :laugh:

LOL. Okay, I'll try to control myself.
Thanks, I haven't been on eBay in a long time. Will take a look. N1wireless has the phone but I suspect it's Amazon so sent a mail to their sales group. A week later and they haven't responded. Not a good sign.

Need to look very close at phones listed on eBay. I bought a ""New-In-Box!" phone a few weeks ago that was not new at all. Of course the same thing with Amazon, lot of people have complained about getting refurbishes (or worse) phones when the listing said "new". If you find something you like on eBay or Amazon, contact the seller before you buy! And/or at least read some of the seller reviews., especially looking for any negative ones.
About a month ago I got super-lucky and found a definitely-new 64gb G5 Plus on Swappa, for $160. Yeah like I said, super-lucky.

. . . has been known to have the exact phone I was looking for at a competitive price, online ordering.
But if you're not looking for new, I would recommend checking Swappa first. Right this minute they have two "Mint" G5 Pluses listed, and a "Good" phone with 64gb. I've bought several phones on Swappa and every one has been what it was advertised to be. They screen sellers and their ads pretty well, and even run a phone's IMEI before approving a listing.
Just a little update. I haven't purchased one yet. B&H Photo has none. Swappa has only one Consumer Cellular phone.
N1Wireless finally got back to me. They said all of theirs are regular Motorola phones, not Amazon Prime models. They still have the 4/64 models, open box, both Gold and Lunar Gray.
Understandably, pickins are gettin' slim for older phones.

Umm... The regular Moto 4/64 version is the one you want. You don't want a carrier variant or the Amazon one. Color-wise, throw it in a case and be good to go regardless.
At this point the device is two years old though... Why not look at a new Nokia or (if budget allows) Pixel 3a device. One thing we are seeing with later Moto devices is they are really designed to die at 2 years, things start failing quickly especially the battery which is a bugger to replace.
Oh, of course on the first points. Was just mentioning what was out there.
The only reason I was looking at the potter is because I like to play (usually multiboot) with older ROMs, which I prefer. Potter had a grip of goodies to play with.
My main phone has been the LG G3 where I multiboot between KitKat thru Oreo ROMs. Fun stuff. Daily/primary was a fave LP used since 2015. After screen was failing on the third one I started looking at the G5 Plus.
I have other phones (ZTE Axon 7, Moto G5s Plus, Essential PH-1, and little ole Galaxy Light) so not in actual need. I'm sure this fourth G3 will fail in some way shortly, hence the hunt.
Not interested in new phones, or new Androids to be exact. I have no interest in Pie and barely tolerate Oreo. Though I almost got a OnePlus 6T but the IRS snatched up my refund (can't get away from old school loans I guess. LOL).

Hi,
I'm looking for a new phone but not looking to pay newest flagship prices.
The S8 seems to be a good substitute for the S9 at a lower price point.
But I'm concerned about buying it and then development crashes a year later.
What is the general development timeline for Samsung devices (other than official lineage) before they are abandoned?
Thoughts?
Should I keep my Essential phone or said I go to the Mi A2? What's your suggestion? Open to suggestions for whatever will work on the US on MetroPCS
I just ordered a Pixel 3XL but I plan on keeping my PH-1.

I'm jealous. Loved my 2xl
I've considered a few of the inexpensive Chinese devices, but then I think...
Essential is a close second only to Google for updates, which is important to me.
The near stock Android is much preferred to all the garbage ROMs out there, with very few exceptions.
I feel like they're cutting corners somewhere. On one device it was the Bluetooth version. I think a few others don't license widevine, so DRM content is only viewable at 480.
I'll stick with the Essential.

I used to have the Mi A2 and used it on T-Mobile. I also have the Essential phone. I ended up selling the Mi A2. The essential phone looks better, gets faster updates, utilizes more bands on TMobile (the Mi A2 only has 2 and 4), has voLTE, and NFC.

From what I've been hearing they're about the same but 660 is not as good as the 845.
From wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Snapdragon
The current Snapdragon naming scheme was implemented after the Snapdragon 800 family was announced at the 2013*Consumer Electronics Show; prior models were renamed to the 200, 400 or 600 series.[77][78]*A new Snapdragon 600 was also released, which by mid-year was embedded in most new Android devices.[79]*The 400 family is entry-level, the 600 is mass-market or mid-range, and 800 family is for high-end or flagship phones.[80][81]
