pure guess but top phones all seem to follow the same pattern... $500 MSRP, $199 upgrade (maybe $50 mail in rebate)
optimus 2x cost
I heard that it could be upwards of 650-700$ range outright
Would this version of optimus 2x suoport tmobile 4g???

does it support LTE?
Can anyone comment on what changes will the UI have now that the 2x has the "G" name? Thanks!

For the sake of clarity, since I have never owned an Android phone before- do you mean the UI is identical to the Nexus phones but OS updates will not mirror the Nexus' schedule? Thanks!
Yes, it will be like the nexus-no ui changes made by the phone company like Samsung Touchwiz on their galaxy s phones. The optimus 2x has lg's motoblur changes in their ui. The US version is unique since it supposedly won't have that, only pure android with no changes. Developers and fans are excited because it is FAR easier to work on clean android builds without manufacturer changes. Learn about "cm7" for example to see what I mean.
As far as updates, it is dependent on the phone manufacturer and the carrier it is on. LG has reported that this phone will launch with 2.2 froyo, but will get a quick update to 2.3 gingerbread which is the newest version of android (and hardly distributed officially at this point).

^saw a video on this just now... there is NO microSD expansion cards?
what is UP with that? don't most droid phones allow microSD? forgive me i haven't looked at new phones in a long while. if it is inside, is it easy to replace w/16 or 32GB? i don't want just 8GB. need 32GB or more... too bad it doesn't accept SDXC nor are there SDXC for cheaper. would luv a 128GB or 512GB SDXC micro card inside

You are confused. T-mobile specs list a microSD slot: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...=g2x&WT.z_searchProduct=G2x%99+with+Google%99

thats because the microSD is inside the phone. I don't think they would allow them to take off the back to show us the microSD.
ah, ok. that makes more sense. i just hope it isn't like the Windows Phone 7 microSDs where it might brick the fone if you tamper w/the microSD card. it's a huge reason why i didn't go w/WP7.
hoping for a keyboard version in the future though... it will be interesting trying to text w/o a keyboard... since i'm so used to it.

It's up to 32gb btw.
Will it be released in April? Hrms, if so, shouldn't T-Mo or BestBuy or XXXX company put out the word for pre-orders? The date's right around the corner!
I heard this will be t-mo's 1st device that can support 42mbps 4G speeds.
I personally cant wait for this, because i dont have 500$ to get a sgs3 or htc one x, because i am on contract. I have an old samsung vibrant and it is going on sale for the nexus 7. I have a hp touchpad, but i damaged the processor somehow from overclocking, and now it lags like crazy when trying to use it. I think from people that dont use android, this could be their first android device. I think the phone ui is much better on tablet like this than the tablet ui, i hope i can use the homescreen in landscape though.
I now have a galaxy s3 and a htc x one and now a nexus 7 tablet soon 16gb.

might as well. only $50 more dollars for double the storage space. most other tabs charging $100+ for double the storage space. I'd rather have to much memory and not use some vs. not have enough and finding yourself constantly deleting stuff to make room(it gets tedious fast).

imho, if you can afford the extra cash to get the 16gb you should get the 16gb. Having no expandable storage you will be stuck with what you buy now. (I do have the (16gb on pre-order).
Pre ordered the 16gb model. Nice to go with my nexus s and galaxy nexus
I don't see why people are complaining so much about it. Its a great tab for the money. No hack a rounds to get software you want on it, good screen, good battery size, good tablet processor. Would have liked the SD card slot but I didn't expect it. 7 inches is fine for movies and reading. I spend almost all my time online on my phone, even at home. This will at least let me read PDF files and web pages and whatnot a bit more comfortably.

This.
I did not mean to discourage the guy but this won't happen. At least not this year. There have been plenty of discussions and articles relating to "what 'I' want in a phone". The company naturally doesn't care. So it's useless to make such discussion. However, andriod being open source, let all companies use the OS. Hence you got "plenty" of options to move onto. Why stick with a device you wish it "had" the features you desire?
I don't get the whole flash memory is expensive thing, it's like $1 a gig around here... I just got a 16 gig micro SD for $12 on sale. Are they making these phones so cheap that the few dollars it takes to put a little storage in makes them not afford it ?
I don't need so many apps, I don't care to much about total control, I am maybe the only one on here that is interested in Blackberry 10 phones, did you know part of the design is a BB should withstand a 20 ft drop and also a drop in a puddle ? If they happen to have a sd card, removable battery that lasts 3 days, and aren't lying about the browser being the fastest of any mobile, and add that it is higher end components I can see why people might switch to BB, i know you will laugh, but the joke is you might be able to sideload android on it and have a dual handset if you choose, or at least the apps..
I need a phone that can go threw hell and still work at the end of the day.

It's not what "I" want in a phone.
The big joke is everyone wants the same in a phone.. they want the longest lasting, toughest build, most options for expandable memory, best antennas but not cancer, longest lasting, great screen, loudest speakers for music, the most connections possible, they want it all.. updateable phone possible for the dollars... its not math. They just like to minus stuff so you buy one per year.
Vote with your dollars.. that's all you can do, and while the arrogant fail sooner or later, there is always someone else providing what you need.
Many people in China for instance have dual sim card phones, I would like that, I can see how others wouldn't want it.

There is no way you r wrong here by demanding all what one can ask for. But think for a second, if you are a phone manufacturer, you would want people to buy your phones every year.. probably twice or even thrice a year.. (yeah i have seen that happen). If a manufacturer gives all what is required in ONE phone... Boooom! who would ever switch?
Take Galaxy S2's example, there wasn't really any other such high-spec'd phone from known manufacturers in 2011. Hence if u see, many people who owned S2 at that time haven't switched to S3 or any other phone in 2012. Regardless of dual-core or quad-core, the phone:
a) is snappy
b) is slim
c) has enough internal space
d) got SD slot
e) got 8 MP camera which was still standard in 2012
f) got latest Adnriod OS
g) got latest OEM UI
h) standard RAM
i) large battery
What not?
Although they threw Quad-core but S2 still sold like a Boss. Hence they need to cut out corners and save them for their new device so that they force us to switch. They run a business and what matters the most to them is profit.

Engineering isn't magic.At every point in designing there is a decision to make.
You can get the best antenna which will give you best coverage, but it requies more battery to send airwaves all the way.
Loudest speakers, again need a bigger driver and more battery power. For adding all these features you need a bigger battery, which means a thicker phone.
Toughest build, yes things are happening e.g Xperia Z. However when Samsung comes with a phone that can take some beating as it's plastic half the crowd goes boo.
When LG comes with N4 the other half does not like it as it breaks easily.
About dual SIM, I am not sure where you live but here in India you get dual sim android phones from Samsung. So it's not like few Chinese manufacturers are making it.
Samsung has brand called Duos, there is Galaxy S Duos, Galaxy Ace Duos etc all with dual sim.Maybe they aren't getting it to the place you live as they don't see too
many people going for it. e.g in US market where out of 4 major carriers only 2 are GSM and with incompatible 3G frequencies and carrier subsidies there is no market for
dual SIM.
This isn't really an appropriate thread for this website.

Samsung isn't and neither are most manufacturers; and look at where Samsung is now. Sure their build quality and design is not up to par with others but their phones are packed with features.
When you are competing in a crowded marketplace, it helps to have every feature that is possible to attract the widest range of customers.
Cloud services only work as good as the data connection and Sprint is the worst when it comes to data connection.
OP is just one of many who won't even consider the One because of lack of a SD card. There are countless others who won't complain or post their opinions or give any consumer survey; they will simply shake their head and walk to the next model.
I was one of them and I had filed away the One under my 'not preferred list', however the low, low, price that I had to pay for it, plus the USB OTG support won me over.
And HTC has shown that it is possible to include an SD slot in it, so why the hell not?

Pretty much this. And while your bandwidth may not be acceptable in some areas, 32GB of storage for this phone is more than enough to put most of your favorites on just in case you aren't in an area with 3G or LTE. If expandable storage is what you're going after, you might as well jump ship and pick up an S4, or downgrade to an EVO 4G LTE (which is still a pretty relevant phone considering it'll be getting an upgrade that puts it at Sense5).

Their unibody design is one of their main selling points. Thats why they released videos of the manfacture process. I rely on the cloud for everything. So the unibody+no sd slot was a nobrainer for me. And if you look at technology as a whole, the focus is on the cloud. Phones not as much but the stance is growing. The recent Google I/O basically boiled down to "Google glass lololzors Cloud EVERYTHING"

Admittedly, I'm on a SERO plan, but the fact of the matter is that Cloud for everything will end up eating a lot of data and result in data throttling eventually. I prefer to use my unthrottled speed on data that I don't already own

I'm on SERO as well with very spotty LTE and just all around bad 3G. There's never really a time that I've run into not having data when I need it, unless I was in BFE North Florida in the middle of nowhere. And data throttling has never happened with Sprint, and so far has not been hinted at ever happening, at least not in the foreseeable future.
I used to want to carry ALL my EVERYTHING all the time but I grew out if that.
Don't see the point in trying to cram dozens of gigs of stuff into a device that I will likely never access. *Shrug*
I have a friend who wouldn't get anything without an sd card because he had "8 to 9 nand backups" and I said "wow, that's excessive and has no reflection of a fault on the design of the device but of your data hoarding practices" he almost seemed offended.
Sent from my HTC One
USB OTG will solve those issues of local storage without streaming. Once you get used to it you'll be spoiled. I tend to carry a lot of development around on a phone and I still havent missed the sdcard. I rarely use OTG but I know its there when I need it. And since the OTG adapters were like 1.99 I have one everywhere so I don't ever think about carrying it with me, due to having them stashed all over the place. And the option is there for a lot more space than an sdcard.

There's a SIM card slot in the unibody design; surely it is possible to include a SD card slot somewhere on the periphery?
All B&N Nooks have a SD card slot on the periphery of their devices.
With millions of $$ being spent on R & D by HTC, surely they could have found a way to include it in a unibody design?
The CEO has famously stated that he will resign from his post if the One turns out to be a failure. While it may not be a failure, shouldn't he be aiming for 'wild success' instead of 'mild success'?
Lack of an SD card may not bother many, but it is a no-no for a few. Shouldn't HTC target all those people too, especially when they are lagging in the market?
If they were market leaders, I can understand their doing this but not when they are struggling.
I upgraded to the One despite my reservations about the SD slot, the low price tempted me into buying it. I love the design, the construction and they way it works. But the lack of an SD card irks me. I plan on using the OTG support for an external reader but it is not the same.
The issue with finding a way to incorporate an sd slot in the unibody design is the fact that they literally ran out of room to the point that they had to INJECT moldable plastic into the device.

As much as I hate Apple and the iPhone/iPad/iPod, their non-removable battery and absence of the expandable storage has shown over the years that people get by without it. Sure, a MicroSIM slot was added to ALL of the phones, but it's pretty much necessary to have it. Regardless of whether we want to see an HTC One with expandable storage or not on Sprint, unless Sprint says "make us another EVO with the specs of the One and the added SD card slot, it's probably not going to happen." This is pretty much becoming the standard across A LOT of manufacturers, and whether Samsung takes that road or not, they're not winning that many people over just because of that "feature." Only a small percentage of people want it to keep EVERY song they own, or a movie library, or every app that Google Play has to offer. To the rest of the buyers, it's just the fact that it's a beautifully designed piece of hardware that's capable of getting them through the day.

It's probably Sprint that went for the no SD Card Slot Option and HTC just sold it to them as requested.

Too bad HTC didn't say we want this phone to be the "One" with the most storage. We are going to put 128gb on-board and fulfill all your storage delights for the year setting the bar for other phone manufactures to follow.

Hey guys.. recently I sold my Oneplus Two after using it for 1 year and bought new LG G4. But I bought it thinking I can enjoy entirely new things. But unfortunately I lost my enthusiasm. I didn't love the phone for many reason. 1. Battery life is very low. 2. No unlock bootloader. 3. No root for Marshmallow. 4. Phone heats up very quick. And many cons too. Now I'm planning to downgrade to phone with good specs and not too high end. So I thought of choosing Nexus 6. What do you guys think ? Is it a right choice to buy used one with 203 dollar ? ...

Simms i didnt mean that way.. But i mean not high end because i dont want people to point me at the phone such as Nexus 6P.. But do you think its a good idea if i move to Nexus 6 now ? Because its already 1 year old if im not wrong.

I came from G4 to a Note 5 then to a Nexus 6. And would much rather have the Nexus 6 than either of those. I think you will be satisfied.

Just this month I had an option to upgrade to a new phone. I chose buying a used Nexus 6 instead. I could not be happier. It has what I always try and make phones, stock android. There is still tons of developing going on. I don't even care that it is an older phone. I had the LG G3.
We can't answer that. Only you can. Nexus like you said yourself is considered old, however many of us would not consider the phones out now a considerable upgrade.

You need to ask yourself whether 32GB is going to be enough storage for your needs. The Nexus phones don't have expandable storage.

sure it does.. just not via sdcard.
I don't know about you, but in the OP's situation I wouldn't want to have to play around with a dongle sitting in my USB port simply to increase my storage space. Using a USB OTG device is inconvenient except in certain use cases, such as at home backing up a device with TWRP. USB OTG may be expandable storage, but it's simply not optimal. Thus the OP still needs to ask himself whether 32GB is enough.
I don't think 32GB is enough, not without being ruthless in your space management. I know you'll probably disagree, but I'm willing to lay odds that as an owner of a 32GB model you're pretty ruthless in your space management. Owners of 64GB devices have the luxury of not having to be so ruthless, and I really think it adds to the enjoyment of the device.

I don't use otg, but it is an option in expandable storage.. you said there aren't any options. I have a 32gb n6. I bought it in nov, 2014. anyways, 32gb is more than enough for me. and I mod my device, nearly daily. and have 2 3.5gb+ nandroid back ups in my storage. before n6, I always had 16gb. now 32gb is spacious for me. also, I'm an amateur photographer that only uses the n6 for photography. what I don't do is keep music on my device, that's what seems to save me. I use google play music services, and I always have that to use. when I take a subway home from work, I'll download several albums to listen to, beforehand. BTW, on tmobile, unlimited high speed data, in NYC
I forgot about USB OTG as an option. I stand corrected on that.
Like I said, you're ruthless in your space management, where I don't have to be. That however doesn't mean I'm not. If I were to put my stuff on your device, it would all fit with about a gigabyte left. Having used devices with far less storage, space management became an art form with me. But on this device, not worrying about how much space I'm using is liberating, and it's that liberating feeling that makes using this device more enjoyable.

ruthless, I'd never say that in this case. over time, I do end up deleting a lot though.
Had the G4 last year. Decided to sell it after a few months due to the subpar battery life. I do miss the camera and brighter screen, however, I prefer the N6 for the bigger screen, much better battery life, wireless charging and Project Fi. $200 for a used N6 is still a good price.

Of course you could shunt what you delete to cloud storage. But the fact you have to pick and choose what to keep on your phone only proves correct what some sites, for example Android Authority, are saying now about devices with 32GB storage: it's really too small these days, so the OP really needs to think this through. Currently Swappa has 64GB models for a low of $280. $200 is an excellent deal for a 32GB device, depending on condition. But is the price worth the potential inconvenience the smaller amount of storage may impose?
