Well, its 2013, we have the SGS 4, HTC One, Goophone i5s and some other unannounced phones such as Moto X.
We all became very close in this forum and its time for us to all move one, so where is everyone moving on to?

definitely the goophone i5s. You got the best of both worlds of android and iphone 5. The iPhone 5 build quality, with Android 4.1.2. Cant beat that, especially when you could of had it for $100!

The Blackberry Z10!
No, but seriously I'm honestly waiting for later in the year. There's a lot of talk about an Ubuntu phone and a Firefox phone. So I'm just going to wait it out and see which is the coolest.

I am afraid to see the specs of the X, I really want motorola to not screw it up.
No need to afraid bro its sure game changer and i think Another i mean Atrix 4 Coming to AT&T Before X
Thunderbird i5 MTK6588
or
SGS4
My next will come as a shocker to some but it wont be a future phone. My next will be the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Lets be honest, the main reason why most of us have the AHD was because the maxx battery which made the phone highly pleasurable and very sexy.
Samsung just released the OEM 3k mah battery for the SGS3 which is big news because its also removable so when I travel I can bring extra and never be without juice because I am backpacking with extra battery.
Also the sgs3 has a very sexy camera, the AHD camera looks like chit.
Sgs3 also supports exfat with memory card which means I can have a 64gb microsd with full x264 sexy files at over 4gb a file.
With the sgs4 coming out the sgs3 price will surely be more pleasurable on the aftermarket.
Is it possible that the x phone turns out to be the nexus 5?

Ill set patiently on my AHD until I get kexec and have CM 10.1. Then I will rock it till something too good to pass up comes out. No reason to rush into a phone that really isnt that much better than the phones out right now lol

I am getting the SGS3 when the SGS4 comes out because itll be cheap on ebay and I am not set for an upgrade and im not going to drop $600 on a phone.
most likely the S4 for me or might scoop a nexus 4.
I'll wait until CM10 stable on AHD. No need to rush for a new phone. Android phones waste your money. They are racing at each other. Want to be a super phone above all which still can't defeat a computer.

I don't plan to switch phones until something competes with the battery life I get and has quite a bit better specifications than this.

I just tested Nexus 5 in a building. Has LTE in the hallways but in the office it dies and won't come back until I go to a window which is in the hallway. I've always been an advocate of Motorola and intend to get an X. Has anyone had experience with signal on T-Mobile being better on one or the other?
Even better, have you experienced significant increase from your old phone to MotoX and if so what phone was it?
Not on T-Mobile, but on ATT my X consistently has about 5-6 dBm better signal than my N5. Doesn't seem to transfer into any real world difference so far, though.
Sent from my XT1053
Have you noticed the MotoX holding on to signal any better than the Nexus5. Like in bad signal areas.
Sent from my Nexus 5
In case anyone ever has this question. I ended up getting both. They both get similar db but the x does hold on to LTE in places where the nexus didn't. However it's not often enough to matter and the hspa speeds are comparable on T-Mobile.

By reputation, Moto usually has very good radios and Nexus devices are the opposite. Like I said, that's their reputations.
I live in the boonies and my Moto x gets wayyyy better signal than my s2 did here, better than my wife's 4s and better than her friends new BlackBerry q10 (is it q10?...the more expensive one anyway).
Unless I move some day...I'll be sticking to Motorola phones.

Same here. T-Mobile was almost unusable at home and in town with my Nexus 4 and 5 (unless I set them on the counter and didn't touch them). No more problems with the Moto X.

It was between the G2, HTC one or this......basically the final factor in my decision was Motorola radio reputation. Glad they didn't let me down. Was minus 40 Celsius with the wind chill here the other day....and I didn't have to stand outside in it to call someone. Lol

Lonnnng time note user here. Had note 2, 3, and 4. Think I'm going the nexus route. Samsung has been good to me but.......what are your thoughts note 4 users?
No removable battery and no SD card=no sale. I'm hoping LG V10 pro is 6"but I'll probably go LG next time.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
It's one of the phones on my "maybe" list. The 128gb model isn't too horrendously expensive, so I could probably live with it. I'm definitely going to wait and see what else LG comes out with though.
I'm just not feeling the LG stuff anymore. It kills me that these companies drop expandable memory like a bad habit.
Yup. I ordered the 6P in graphite with 128 GBs, shortly after the site went live. I can deal with the no SD card and irremovable battery since it's 3450 mAh.
Plus, the screen is from Samsung's latest gen so it's better than the Note 4's screen. The Nexus imprint and front facing speakers are amazing, and I won't have to rely on T-mobile to push out updates. Can't believe most of us have to flash a custom rom to be up to date with 5.1.1. The days of waiting are finally over.
I am however going to miss my S-Pen. Doodling in snapchat will be sorely missed
Waiting for Google to decide that sales aren't good enough via Internet and sell through the carriers so I can Jump.

No one thinks it is weird that the LG V10, a premium device, is going to use the same processor and GPU combination as the Nexus 5X but with twice the resolution and twice the RAM? When someone tells me that they can't run a game on their PC I don't ask them how much RAM they have. Someone, somewhere thinks throwing more RAM in it is a cost-saving upgrade for sluggishness.
If people buy this phone it sends the message that we don't care what silicon is in the phone as long as it "feels premium" and that is a ridiculous notion. Seriously, check out these tests: http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-G4-benchmarked---how-does-the-Snapdragon-808-fare_id68814 It wins in a few categories and but loses in GPU testing. At least get the 14nm Samsung Exynos if you're going to upgrade.
I ordered the silver one with 128gb. I miss having pure Android. I never rooted and flashed any ROMs on my Note 4 b/c I didn't want to lose wifi calling, but now that it's baked into Marshmallow, getting the 6P was a no brainer for me. Would have loved it in the 5X form, but oh well. I thought I would use the functionality the Note 4 more than I did; I barely use the S Pen. The only thing I might miss would be the ability to have two or more apps open at the same time, but I'm sure there is or will be an app for that.
You guys get it report back on your experience. I'm going for the 6p as well.
Nah, just going to stick with the Note 4 probably till the end of next year. I like the Nexus', but I don't /love/ them. Too many compromises. Nothing has really come out that makes me go "damn i need that!"..
^other than the timely updates.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe. That processor is a let down IMO, I would have preferred the exynos. Front facing speakers, 128gb well priced...strong maybe. Not sure if it will be "faster" than my note 4 with a custom ROM. I want to get off Samsung for awhile to show my disdain for them screwing up the note series ( I have owned all four iterations).
Im probably going to get the LG V10. Has the IR blaster, removable battery, micro sd, fingerprint, great camera and features. Only downside i see is that its using Snapdragon 808 which is getting outdated.

I told myself that I am getting a Nexus this time around because I'm tired of dealing/waiting on a 3rd party for fixes/updates and I miss the huge amount of development. The last Nexus I had was the 5, which was also my first, and I loved that phone. I ended up replacing it for a HTC ONE (M8) and then I tried like hell to get the Nexus 6 when it came out, but then I went with the Note 4 because it was a little better and I was tired of waiting.
The whole thing with the removable battery and SD card slot has become more of a nuisance lately rather than something I look for. I would much rather carry around a battery pack than an extra battery because I feel that it's more convenient and has more features... My phone isn't the only I carry around that needs charged. And with the phone being available with 128GB I see no need for an SD card slot anymore... I have a 64GB card in my Note 4 right now and it's only 3/4 of the way full.
Ultimately it came down to the quality of the device along with the service it comes with and the dual front-facing speakers that I sorely miss from my HTC ONEs... and who knows, I might just try out ProjectFi.

How is the 808 outdated lol? It's comparable to the 810 and both are more than capable of handing anything and everything... you're not missing out on anything. Even if the 820/620 were to come out tomorrow the only thing you'd be really missing out on, that's even remotely noticeable, is better power efficiency.

I highly doubt any software within the next 2 years will need any more power than we currently have. The 810 was announced in April of 2014, but I don't think it was until July '14 that it was actually in a device. A year from now the 810 will only be 2 years old, but still far from outdated/worthless.
I like keeping my phone update to the newest and most secured firmware. I don't believe I should have to wait six months to a year to get that. So, yes I will be switching. And will be going to project fi.

Nah I'm going to give my wife the note 4 I'm tired of Samsung bullcrap too much bloat.. I know people said rood but I shouldn't have to deal with that
I'll get one as a backup device... It can't replace my Note 4 for functionality.
Of course I'll wait until user reviews are out. I no longer feel the need to buy a device the day it's up for presale.
UPDATE: Now I'm looking at the new WIndows Phone... That may be a better backup device.
I most Def would get it but since you can only purchase online and you can't jump to it imma wait for the next phone that isn't Samsung
Just wondering which one is worth buying over. I currently have the OPO.

Decisions, decisions. Depends on how comfy you are with your current situation, and how much you like gaming.
Sort of in a similar predicament either way, as a 490 is due out soon.
480. I'm using the OnePlus X and its fantastic. It has similar specs to the One and if its as good as this is then I wouldn't do it. Wait another year or two. I'm personally not bailing until it becomes impossible for me to compile the latest version of Android for it lol

They may well do, but the 10 series is one of the biggest leaps in graphics power for a long time.... the 1060 which is close to the entry level card is more powerful than the 980GTX which was the top card of the last generation excluding the Titan... which the 1070 destroys... I was always an AMD man, but they're just not close at the moment... heat, power, noise etc.
I returned my OP3 just last week and hope to get the 3T next week if it's easily available, but I'm also about to build a new gaming rig from scratch as well. My budget is $800, but since I decided on an i5 6600K and either a GTX 1060 6GB or an RX 480 8GB variant, I'll need to raise the budget to $1000 to keep the standard these parts demand. I'm not about to settle for a sketchy power supply, hard drive, or cheap corny looking case... I haven't seen any "crazy" deals for Black Friday, do you guys know if Cyber Monday is different when it comes to PC parts?
Hi.
I love the 5x and it's camera (just wow!), but I hate that it's lacking in speed, and I can use the extra screen space.
Would you say getting the Note 5 now would be a smart move? Can't afford higher-priced ones, and was offered a good price on a used one.
Just thought I will check with you guys first.
Thanks!
Also used to own a 5X but the note 5 is good if you get one for a good price. The ram is double what you are used to, which is a huge +, and the QHD screen is awesome. The Spen is also a bonus. Only thing I miss about the 5X is the huge customization and rom options it had. But the Note 5 is an awesome phone even for it's age.
