    Htc 10

    The HTC 10 isnt exciting but it is probably the most well rounded Android phone right now. The only knock on it for me is that it is not waterproof or very water resistant like the S7. Its a solid phone with stockish OS, good camera, decent speakers, and great build quality. To be honest...

    9/29 Google Press Event Discussion (Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X)

    So is anyone actually having no problems with the 5x? Debating between the 5x and s7 but not a huge fan of TW. I would also like to switch over to Google fi.

    The Z5 Compact is amazing

    I am loving mine too! Great size and features. I may be switching to Google Fi though, so if anyone wants a good deal on it let me know. Tuan

    Samsung Galaxy S6 hype thread

    Ill update with a mini my impression later but I am now on my 3rd Edge. 1st had bad scratches on the screen and the 2nd had a faulty power button. I inspected the 3rd one in store and it looks to be fine. Those stories about scratched s6 are indeed true. My first was badly scratched and the...

    Nexus 6 - Opened my eyes to big phones

    I found the N6's camera to be pretty decent. Here was a blind comparison by Phonearena. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nexus-6-beats-the-iPhone-6-Plus-by-a-mile-in-our-blind-camera-comparison_id64437

    Samsung Galaxy S6 hype thread

    I think its a great looking phone! First Samsung phone I like and I NEVER like Samsung phones. I still wont get it because of TW but other than that I think its great.

    9to5 Google claims this is the Nexus 6/X.

    More thoughts.... I just received my Z3 compact and I am really liking the form factor so far. Few thoughts on how it compares to the Nexus 6. Obviously, there is a huge size difference and having used the N6 for over a week now, I have actually come accustomed to the larger size and...

    9to5 Google claims this is the Nexus 6/X.

    Here are some more thoughts on my impression after 2 days of using the phone. I ordered the Bear Motion slim case over at Amazon and it has totally made the phone much more enjoyable to hold. Its better IMO than Ringke Slim as it is just as minimal if not more but it has a sandy texture to it...

    9to5 Google claims this is the Nexus 6/X.

    Just got my 64gb white N6! First off, the phone is freaking huge. I have rather large hand in that I can easily palm a basketball and I think this is my limit LOL. I can still type one handed but no way can I reach the very top of the phone one handed. Too my surprise the phone doesnt feel...

    Note 4 vs. Nexus 6

    Nexus 6, because of stock or Android or Google's skin. Sure, the Note 4 will get Lollipop, but it will look nothing like Lollipop. I have never used a Note product before but I find it hard to believe how a pen on such a small device could be useful. I could be wrong though...

    9to5 Google claims this is the Nexus 6/X.

    Looks like a great phone. Only real negative for me is the average battery, but unfortunately I am not a heavy user. Its unfortunate that Google decided to go with a huge phablet to showcase Android 5.0. I think the sizing alone will deter many people from buying or even trying...

    9to5 Google claims this is the Nexus 6/X.

    I hate the size but just ordered one yesterday =(. I actually hate the price even more, but Ill give it a chance. I have the original Moto X that I still love, and I wasnt really tempted by any phone announced thus far. Havent had a phablet, so this should be interesting. I have fairly big...

    9to5 Google claims this is the Nexus 6/X.

    If Google does release a 5.92 inch Nexus, it wont be any bigger than the Note 4, at least I hope =). For those who worry that a 5.9 in phone would dwarf say something like an Iphone 6+ or Note 4, take a look at the Huawei Ascend 7. Its a 6 inch phone that is nearly the same size as the Note 4.

    iPhone6 will kill high end Android phones in the US

    I use to install custom ROMs on a weekly basis but ever since Kitkat, I havent "tinkered" with my phone much. Right now I have a Moto X and the only thing Ive done with it is root... I couldnt ever imagine myself going over to iOS. I just find the operating system cumbersome to use with...

    Motorola announcement today...guesses?

    Whats the difference between the new Moto X and the S5 or even LG G3? All use the newer SD 801. Only difference between those three is that the G3 has a 2k display, which not a lot of people like.

    cpu upgrade from i3-540

    Hi Guys, It's about time I upgrade my computer as my parent's need a new one, and I just want something new. Currently I have I3-540 with a H55N-USB3 mobo and 2gb of ram. The combo with my SSD is all I really needed until I recently got into video editing. I can feel the sluggishness...

    Anyone excited for OnePlus?

    Phone looks great but Ill wait for a review, hopefully by Anandtech. Pricing looks great but I am just curious if they had to cut corners somewhere. I know most people are wowed by specs but things that dont get mentioned like radios are important to me. Having owned the N5 then the...

    Why Don't We Have a Good Smartwatch?

    I find my Pebble pretty useful and I think I would like the Galaxy Gear too! I use my Pebble mostly during when I snowboard. The ability to check text, emails, calls, etc is great. I can even make calls with the Pebble via Pebble dialer and turn on the speaker phone without ever having to...

    The official Nexus 5 thread.

    Wrong....most TVs you buy are not properly calibrated. Go read up on TV calibration and why some pay professionals hundred of dollars to properly calibrate their TVs. Most TVs have overly saturated colors out of the box and on show room floors because most people are initially wowed by it...

    Moto X $349 off contract on Cyber Monday

    Man... I just received my Nexus 5 after giving my first N5 to the gf..... The only thing holding me back from returning the N5 for the Moto X is the 720p screen on the Moto. I know there isnt a huge difference overall between 720p and 1080p screens in 5in or less displays, but the text...

    The official Nexus 5 thread.

    Id wait for the Anandtech review. I havent read the review but read that they did the battery testing by setting the display on all phones to 50%. As we all know, the N5 display at 50% is much brighter than most displays set at 50%.

    Nexus 5 Reviews

    The camera is fine IMHO. Its the AOSP camera app that needs a lot of work. I do agree though that I would pay more for a Nexus with a larger battery.

    The official Nexus 5 thread.

    I just got the phone and I really like it. Took a few snap shots of my room which isnt very well lit and the camera is miles a head of the N4. I opted for the white/blk combo and I wish I didnt. I like the look of the combo but the side isnt a matte/soft touch material like the back but...

    Moto X (Is Out) [8.01.2013]

    My guess is that Google/Moto probably had to agree to release some "Droid" phones on Verizon, all of which will probably be heavily advertised and populated with Verizon apps. In exchange Google/Moto was allowed to sell the Moto X on Verizon with limited Verizon apps. The Moto X will...

    Moto X (Is Out) [8.01.2013]

    Well if the new lines of Droid is any indication, the Moto X really has 8 cores! This can explain why it looked so fast and scores well on the benches!

    Moto X (Is Out) [8.01.2013]

    I think the processor is still unknown. The older dual s4 pro did not have the wifi ac yet the one in the moto does. Like I said in a previous post, just want til the unveiling before you judge the phone. Yes it is only a dual core but performance leaks of this phone has shown that it...

    Moto X (Is Out) [8.01.2013]

    I am actually excited about the Moto X, especially if the bench scores are true. I think Google/Moto purposely used lower specs on this phone so they can sell it at a dirt cheap price. If you look at it, the specs are only hair short of the HTC One and Samsung S4. Imagine the uproar from...

    Official Avail. Nov 13th - Android 4.2 - LG Nexus 4 - Asus Nexus 7 - Samsung Nexus 10

    I love the N4. To be honest, I didnt expect a huge difference from the Gnex, but the difference is pretty noticeable. Having the two devices side by side, you can see and feel the difference between opening apps and browsing. I reluctantly ordered the N4 and even hoped that my order...

    Galaxy SIII or Note II?

    Of those two, hands down the Note II. I love bigger phones myself and I do think 5.5 is probably the limit of these super sized phones. To me, I think the 5 inch HTC DNA hits the sweet spot. I am hoping Tmobile picks some variation of it running stock instead of Sense.

    HP: WebOS devices are dead

    why would anyone buy webOS? Samsung and HTC would make sense, but they dont really have a good track record of developing good software. Just look at Touchwiz and Sense.
