    Is it me or will there never be another 4 -4.7 inch Android powered smartphone with great specs ever again?
    I returned my Nexus 5 for a Moto X due to the size and love it. I can't deal with these big ass phones though.

    No, I don't wear skinny jeans. That statement is old. I like to use my phone using one hand and with ease.

    The company is a Chinese/Taiwanese startup that came out of nowhere, and the product has great specs but a unbelievably low price.

    I would wait to purchase.

    I won one of their contests for a free phone (the case chase contest) so I should have one in hand by end of May. I will come back to this thread to let you guys know my thoughts on it :).

    They want to you to swipe down to view notifications/settings yet they make the phones so big you can't do that with one hand. I'm done with Android if no one wants to make smaller high end phones.

    Looks cool. What carrier(s) are available? Just from a fast google search, it seems AT&T is the only carrier so far?

    Like another poster said, I'd wait until the 2nd or 3rd iteration of the phone comes out, because the first version will probably be buggy / have problems.

    The phones just aren't big enough for Jontro's big hands.

    If people wanted small phones then they would make them.

    The Note speaks for itself

    Been talked about in the 2014 smart phones thread.


    I want this or the Xperia Z2. Considering I will probably have to buy both non subsidized, it'd prolly be this.

    The thing about this phone that makes it so enticing is the OS and the price. If it was the same price as the Samsung HTC or LGS it would be less tempting. Lg g3 looks to be very interesting. These days I'll only look at a phone if it has a 3kmah battery or more.

    I'm thinking of getting the LG G Pro Lite... I think it's going for the same price as OnePlus.

    Worth it?

    I can't justify spending more than 300-400 for a phone.

    Neh. I give them about 2 more years.

    Gotta get myself a BlackBerry Z30 before it stops production.

    Still wanting this phone. I'm gonna try and get an invite as soon as I can and take this thing to T-Mobile.

    Anyone with an invite here, feel free.;)


    (I know invites won't start rolling out till the end of the month)

    Could fill the niche the Nexus is leaving.
