Deiciding between phones, stuck between three.

No sense waiting for the "new Nexus phones". They would never have an sd card slot and you just said you would not buy a phone without one.

Damn you beat me to it.

It is time to give up hopes a Nexus will ever have a SD card slot.

I forgot about that...

Well, maybe they will have enough onboard storage that I wont need it and I'll just have to alter my criteria. :hmm:
in fact with OTG usb I guess I dont need it. My criteria is old...
But still I want a large nexus and I dont like the way the 6p looks

Don't get your hopes up.

On those three reasons:

1. Android has good SD card support because of Android One, not because of anything Nexus.

2. Would be Google admitting failure, never going to happen.

3. Samsung sells Micro SD cards as a whole other business so they benefit as a company from the slot. Google benefits when you pay the extra $50 for a 64GB model.

My 2nd favorite device to date, behind the 1520. SD sot is a must, battery is killer, screen is great, camera is beautiful. Just don't hold your breath for major apps. I couldn't care less.

DPreview had an excellent article explaining why high pixel count on a small sensor leads to poor image quality. But I cannot find it now.

Quality vs. contour, I need the cellphone camera for high contour quality, since, I use it to take pictures, of slides on power point in class. Some of the teachers in my accredited college can't speek over their accent, and they zip thru slides fast. Contour quality of words get better as MP increases, you do realize that business people or students (those who want to really do well), by higher MP phones. Not to go around and become digital DaVinci or something, but to be able to have great quality images of "business documents", not some super model.

In theory yes, unfortunately in the real world camera's have bigger sensors, faster lenses and better sharpening algorithms so a 20mpixel camera might not look as good as a 12mpixel camera.

I dicided to get a, Motorola Droid Turbo 2 "Designed by you" edition, with the 32GB internal memory. How ever I still have a question, can the google contacts app on android phone have support for "VCard", ".hsh", ".msg", ".vcf" files?

BUMP!

I recall water resistance was a concern, just happened on this:

https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=fr_ilm..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0NQ4W8KF834XDCDMF1JX

Motorola is water resistant.

But it looks like to get the good price, you have to put up with Amazon Ads on your lock screen.
