Lol, they are happy about shyt we've had since last year.

What's the pros

Nice screen 5.5", quick as fukk, no bloat plus fully customizable without rooting, Nav buttons on the bottom of the device instead of taking up screen space, dope battery life so far.

Only con is no SD card but 64gb is enough for me.

 

[R=G]

Hmmm....sounds cool but I love sd cards. I'll go through 64gb in like 2 days if I'm not constantly deleting.

Oneplus one, note 3, or nexus 6.


Hopefully that nexus is heat.

 

[Lord Beasley]

Hopefully its not much wider or taller than the Nexus 5 n/h. This phone is perfect in everyway to me.

you diggin this battery life too??? Other than that n5 is a perfect phone

I'm on a custom ROM so its a little better than stock, it could be better but its decent. I got car chargers and one of those small portable chargers just in case.

 

[GoldenGlove]

I'm with sprint I need a new phone.....help

I feel you...

I really would be interested in trying out that new Sony phone that they're dropping but Sprint never gets them. I don't even have a clue which Android phone will be available for them. Maybe the Nexus 6? When's the expected release date for that? And will that be droppin' on Sprint?

I'm legit worried about Apple and their lack of innovation post-Jobs.

Previously, there was a nice symbiotic relationship/competition between Apple & Google in the hardware department. Like it or not, Apple was great at innovating and highlighting a new piece of tech, while Google was great at iterating and taking that tech and improving it at a rapid pace. Between the two of them, they pushed the tech in modern phones (processors, cameras, etc.) to the point we've reached diminishing returns and everything is basically the same.

E.g.
First iPhone shifted the phone landscape, then Android caught up and surpassed them after a couple of generations
First iPad created the tablet market, then Android caught lightning with the Nexus7 and shifted the form factor down
Now the AppleWatch. Arguably, Android beat them to market, they're basically already on par functionality wise, and Android beat them to the more aesthetic form factor (round watches).

Today's Apple basically just announced iPhones that have been available on Android for awhile and pre-announced an AppleWatch that doesn't have a killer design nor a killer feature (a unique use case, outstanding battery life, etc.)

I'm actually kinda worried we're gonna get stagnant in an "iteration" era and not an "innovation" era until the next Jobs comes through.
