    Default The Cellphone / Tablet / Wearables / Mobile Devices Discussion Thread

    Thought I'd start up a thread about all things mobile. Talk about the latest devices, new announcements, what ever you're rocking.

    For me, I'm on my 5th phone in about a 12 month period.

    iPhone 5 --> Nexus 5 --> Galaxy Note 3 --> Xperia Z2 --> OnePlus One

    Everyone else?

    I'm rocking a z10. Yes im happy with my phone. Plus it's secure and apple can't compete with that! You know.... anyways I heard something about a iPhone 6 release sometime soon. I also heard that they may have a 'smart watch' or probably 'I watch' to pair with the phone. Idk why, there should be more originality than that as samsung has been there and done that

    Samsung just announced I think their 5th smart watch in the last year or so.

    Apple's Sep 9 announcement stream: http://9to5mac.com/2014/09/04/apple-...-iphone-event/

    Should be announcing the new 4.5" iPhone 6 and potentially the iWatch.

    Still on my Nexus 4. The battery is not what it used to be (smaller anyways) but i charge it at wotk regulary and still make it through the day.

    I'm looking at getting the new Google phone: moto shamu/ nexus 6/ nexus x in the new year sometime.

    In the meantime: I'm thinking of getting the Android L Dev preview before the actual update drops...... Whenever that happens

    And Switched my runtime from Dalvic to ART and the animations look amazing with 4.4.4.

    Currently on an iPhone 5s (going to hold off until the 6s for an upgrade) and won an LG G3 at work. Quite honestly I've been an Apple guy through and through until I put my hands on the G3 - definitely has a bunch of great features that anyone would like and it's stupid fast. Lastly, my parents were nice enough to give me a Nexus 7 tablet as a birthday gift and I love the customization abilities and really being able to make it your own.

    As for watches - definitely in the loop for a Moto 360. In my opinion, the sleekest and most simple-looking interface and it goes a long way. Can't wait to get my hands on one.



    ...I think I just lost my Apple-ness

    S5 is reportedly to be a lot better than the s4. S4 broke at a 7ft drop whereas the s5 was fine at the 10 foot drop and after being ran over with an suv. S5 survived 1 hr in a pool and survived after a trip in a 50 min cycle in a washing machine. Only opened once to get a tiny bit of water out then re sealed and put back in.

    That's just one YouTube reviewers findings.

    Motorola is announcing the Moto G tomorrow. 5", dual front speakers.

    Also, with Art, go into animations and turn it from 1x to 0.5x; it becomes even snappier!

    I'm looking to get the Moto 360 as well! They were supposed to do their launch event today in Chicago (IFA is in Berlin) but opted not to... now it's going to be either 2 AM CST or tomorrow 1 PM EST.

    Drop tests mean little. My nexus 4 has a glass back and I have fumbled it a few times. Not a scratch
