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???

Yep, it is said to use it.

that'll be awsome...

does it support LTE?

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

All rumors suggest a pure android experience- aosp. If so, great news!

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

true... butthe video up above didn't show any.

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.

Just pulled the trigger

Been watching YouTube videos and reading reviews today comparing the LG G watch R against the Moto 360. I have to be honest, I marginally prefer the look of the moto 360, but the faster processor, better battery life and easier interchangeable straps has swayed my decision to the lg, thinking a nice to red strap will look awesome. Also, wife is buying it for me and she preferred the LG. Managed to nab one from flubit for £210, was pretty happy with that. Will post opinions if anyone is interested when it arrives. Just need to convince her in doors that I now need a Note 4 to go with it. Think that will be a harder sell.

I had a 360 ordered but went for a lgr of the same reason as you. I really like lgr and I'm not sorry that I didn't go for 360.

The fact that it has a bigger battery sealed the deal for me. I've been wearing it 10am this morning and loving every second of it. It so accurate with text too. even curse words. its insane. I already switched the straps on mine.

I changed the strap to a metal band with a clasp though it's hard to put on the charger..

What band? Do you have any pics of it on the watch? A link where to buy it, if you bought it online?

Ive had the 360 for a few weeks now and grabbed the GWR yesterday. I think Ill keep both as the Moto looks a lil more dressy with the metal band on it. I am however REALLY enjoying the LG so far.

i have the possibility to buy a new smartwatch 3 for 60€. I prefer a lot this g watch r, it is way better in his design, but it costs 270€ and have the same hardware of smartwatch 3. what do you think about? At the moment (first generation of wearable etc etc) is better a lg g watch r for 270€ or smartwatch 3 for 60€?

It has a transreflective lcd that is good in always on. I think that buy a sw3 at 60€ and wait for 360v2 or g watch r2 is the better choice

yes but there is 210€ of difference for the only design (same specs), I think that is too high, specially because they are the first generation.

It was a good band but not convenient to use on the cradle

I wonder if there would be a good way to mount the cradle for easier use with metal bands like that.

If you flip the watch upside down it works but I didn't like that so I went to the stock band and now I actually like it

[Q] nexus 6 for my 6 plus?

So i took a break with android and tried iOS again so now i have a iPhone 6 plus 16gb. I had a guy offer me a midnight blue 32gb nexus 6 for it i was wondering what do you guys think of that ? Is it worth it ? he is also throwing in $150 on top. Sadly its the at&t model with bloat and branding but it is unlocked, i will be using it on tmobile. So is it worth it for me ? and also can i convert it to the google unlocked firmware instead of being on at&t and waiting for at&t to release ota's?

Ooops that's what I ment to place it under ,thanks

I personally feel you should take the offer as its fairly easy to get around the bad stuff you mentioned. first off all carrier bloat is user removable. Also all updates to the nexus 6 will come straight from google so you'll get them the same time as everyone else.

How are the cameras on nexus 6 ? i use snap chat with front camera and like taking photos. Are the cameras good ? i had the moto x 2014 and hated how the front camera in low light got super laggy. oh and also if i wanted to trade it for a g4 on craigslist do you think i would have a problem trading the nexus 6 off for one ?

The camera on the Nexus 6 is noticeably better than the Moto X 2014's camera. I have had both devices. With this said, low light images on the Nexus 6 are decent, but not the best. Your 6 plus most likely will have had a noticeably better camera overall than the Nexus 6, but I do feel that the Nexus 6's camera is severely underrated.

The firmware/OS is the same on the AT&T version as every other version.
You don't have to wait for AT&T. There are easy ways to download and flash the OTA. In addition you can also download the factory images from Google and fastboot flash them.

Below you will see a quote from an XDA user who posted in another thread here. He/she does a good job of outlining the positives and negatives of each camera app. I personally use the Google Camera for HDR shots and video recording, but use the manual camera app for RAW capabilities.
Zerreth said:
They all suck.
LCamera is outdated, has no HDR and latest dev build has issues.
FV-5 is slow & buggy atm and I don't like the UI, 4K video is broken, no HDR.
Manual Camera has great UI & Control but no video recording & HDR ?!!!!
Moto X Camera has crappy UI, but feels polished. Burst mode works great, but no HDR. No focus control while recording video.
HTC Camera has crappy UI and no HDR. (But is the best one overall with focus control during 4K Video recording)
Google Camera is a joke but is the only one with working HDR.
It would be nice if google actually used & showcased their own Camera2 API on their own Nexus Devices. But apparently that's too much to ask ?
I'm hoping someone ports over the ColorOS Camera to the nexus 6 as they have done for the Oneplus One. As that one seems to have the most features, processing, and cleanest UI.

Diff between One plus 3 & One plus 3T

Hi,
Can you please help with the difference between 2 phones, I have heard that 3T will be slightly costlier than older ones.
Currently i am having Samsung S4 & I am planning to go for One plus 3T.
Thanks in Advance

SD 820 vs. SD 821 - It's fully official that the OP3T will have SD 821.
We don't know the rest, there are rumours.

The camera (if proven to be significantly better) and Snapdragon 821 (and 8GB RAM as per rumours) are good enough reasons for me to buy it. I am only getting my Oneplus 3 on Wednesday !

To be honest really pi££%d off that I have had opo 3 for about a month and they bring out a new release. With a qhd display !

Rumor has it that it might be a QHD IPS LCD instead of AMOLED. So really depends if this is a major factor for you, if its true of course. For me, I rather go with a 1080p AMOLED over a QHD IPS LCD.

@Caitlin550
It is possible. Because PC's now these days can control up to 64gb ram or more. That doesn't mean that mobile phones can't do it. All phones can do it, but they prefer not to because ram can take up a lot of battery. Plus, OnePlus 3 has already released 6gb ram on a phone before any other phone company. What if they released 8gb?

What's the status of the V40 in comparison to the V30?

Hello all,
I'm just wondering if the V40 is as stable custom as the V30 is. I currently have a V30 that is great and on Android 10, but a coworker has this crappy iPhone 6 and I was just going to sell him my V30 for like $50. I was wondering if the V40 customization options (custom roms and whatnot) are worth paying for an upgrade. It looks like there's not a ton of progress on the V50, otherwise I'd consider that.
The V30 has been phenomenal, thus my reticence to switch phones.
Does V40 have as many options? Are there common bugs?

V40 is NOT a good candidate if you plan to explore custom ROMs. Get an HTC U12+ instead.

No 3.5mm jack. That'll be a no from me, bub. I'm surprised it has a microsd slot, though.
What is the status, though? I see a Lineage build in the development section. Is it just kicking off, or is there not a lot of interest?

I ended up snagging a G8 on eBay for $180. It looks like development is heating up in that forum, so I'll be jumping ship as soon as it does.
If it doesn't, I guess I'll pawn it back off on eBay.

I got a second one for $150 that "cannot connect to wifi". I'm assuming it's an OS issue and I'm going to try to fix it when the G8 is fully rootable. It looks like the V50 is very close to a permanent root solution, and the V50 is very similar to the G8. Overall you can snag G8's on eBay for very cheap, considering it released a year ago
