Nexus 6, Moto X, Moto G all look the same

Nexus 6 is unveilled but super overpriced in my opinion, and why is it that Motorola makes all phones look the same ?
the designs of the phones if not the same, it's pretty close. and 2.7 ram? come onnnnn google

Super overpriced or super outside of your price range? Find me another 6" superphone with those specs for less money.
As far as why they look the same- it's called design language. It's why all HTCs look similar, why all Samsungs are carbon copies of each other, and why all LGs are hideous.

OnePlus One is way cheaper and almost as good if not better (in my opinion), I am a little disappointed with the nexus 6, and I really don't care for how big the screen is on it, I actually wish it was a little smaller or the same size as N5, also most phones are coming with at least 3GB ram nowadays why hold back on .3 if its gonna be an expensive phone anyway?

I had and sold the OnePlus One. It wasn't worth a penny more than what they were asking for it. Crappy build quality, defective screens, poor call quality, and buggy software. OnePlus is a bargain basement Chinese brand that failed to deliver on their promise. Motorola and Google they are not. Not to mention the N6 has a faster SOC, better screen, better build quality, better support, better everything.

That 300mb is taken by the gpu or reserved for something else. Open up CPU-Z and you will see that your phone has some missing too! Doesn't mean it's not there. It's been this way since day one!
HTC One M8

That is kind of the point.
The G is a cheaper X
The 6 is a bigger more premium X
Its perfectly clear market segmentation and all 3 belong in the same family.

putting it like that, makes sense to me

Living in Brazil ..... I could buy the Droid Turbo Verzion and make the phone work here in my country?
The Verzion locks the phone not to work with chip from another carrier?

Verizon doesn't Sim lock any of their 4g devices. So as long as it has the frequencies that your carrier requires then yes it should work, required you update the apns for your carrier.

Yup. G2 and G3 are the most beautiful Android phones on the market, the least bezels, gorgeous screens, innovative button placement, and a skin much better than TW, and both have easy root, unlocked bootloaders and dev support.

They could have at least made it thinner, but 10.1mm? Sh**t!

I couldn't disagree more. I think their physical designs are bland at best and hideous at worst, their button placement is unintuitive and awkward, and they've officially beaten Touchwiz with the world's ugliest Android skin. They may have great screens and super slim bezels, but that's not enough to make up for everything else.
Of course, this is only my opinion. I'm a tough one to please.

I have only used Moto's not actually owned them so my view might be skewed. The reason they look all the same is cause of costs. You don't really need to pay anything extra if you have the same design everywhere. You just pay extra depending on what and how much material you use.

while I do agree most LG are kinda ugly the Nexus 4 and 5 were extremely beautiful and well designed imho, minimalistic at its best, motorola design is just....ugly and seems outdated
and for that price range?, the appeal of the nexus line was its affordable price for great specs, it's what made the nexus 5 stand out from the competition when it came out, now?, I just don't get why I would get a gigantic phablet nexus 6 when I could get a Galaxy s5, and HTC one m8 (or the mini HTC M which looks incredible) or the xperia Z

10mm measured down the center top to bottom...... it curves off to somewhere around 3mm on the edges. In terms of the cross sectional profile the N6 would displace less than the Note 4 brick everyone is comparing it to. I'd rather have a phone that's 10mm tapering off to 3 or 4mm which will be much more comfortable in the hand, than a same size brick that's 9mm (or whatever the competition is) thick everywhere.

I do agree that both the N4 and N5 are great looking phones. The N4 more so. The N5 actually looks and feels like a reference design and not something that was designed to be mass marketed, but again, it's still an attractive handset.
As for the price, what I think people are forgetting is that there have been more full priced Nexus devices than cheap ones. Only the N4 and N5 were priced like they were stolen. I was surprised with the N6's pricing like everyone else, but I certainly don't think it's overpriced at all, considering what you're getting.
And as far as Motorola's designs are concerned, I absolutely love them. They aren't supposed to be flashy, and their ergonomics are unmatched. The original Moto X made me a Motorola fan for life.
I loved My Epic 4G Touch but every Samsung phone has been a disappointment to me since. To their credit though, I do like the way the Alpha and Note 4 look but TouchWiz is an absolute deal breaker. I loved HTC, was a huge fan of the One X, but the M7 and M8 aren't for me. And yeah, the Xperia Z3 is insanely cool looking. The moral of the story is to each their own.

I think the main issue is that people need to stop looking at it as a "Premium Moto X". If you're going to compare it to anything, it makes a bit more sense to say it's an off-contract ever-so-slightly downgraded Note 4 for $175 less.

It looks like a Moto X... aside from that they have nothing else in common. And the fact that it doesn't have TouchWiz makes it a moderately upgraded Note 4

- they didnt post kernel source so it lacks in developing
- BLOATWARE all around ... more than 300 apps+ services

If I'm not looking to tweak the phone, just want something to get away from iOS, is this still a solid choice? I see lots of issues, but it's hard to discern what is causing what.

OnePlus 2 is perfect from my point of you. But not the software. The hardware of the device is beast. Software by OnePlus is no match to if. If you want to buy OnePlus Two you should tweak to get most out the phone. So it's in your hands. Perfect hardware, OK stock software. Of course the Device heats up a bit. If tweaked its the best phone in its range. If you don't want to tweak, you can use stock but wait till marshmallow.

Oneplus 2 and nexus 6p are both good phones for their price range. If you have a bigger budget, i would get a 6p because its better in terms of software updates (they have marshmallow already). For me i haven't experienced many bugs with oneplus 2, others in the forum have had minor bugs. Battery life is not bad, i get around 6-7 hr screen on time with YouTube only with a bit of internet.

I really like the 6P and OP2, but both seem to have some issues. Some bigger than others. And I know no phone is perfect. I can spend up to what a 64gb 6P would cost me, but saving money is never a bad thing. My 6s Plus has no issues, but the OS is so stale and I'm going nuts without the simplest of customization.

Will you be buying the new pixel phones based on the leaked specs and price?

I know many people are disappointed with the rumours until now.
But I'm curious how many of you are still buying regardless.
If the price is true, $650 for the smaller and lowest specs, this will be the first Google phone I'll not buy.

I will probably buy the XL. I am going to try out Project Fi, and I am going to assume that the Pixels will support Fi.
There is really no other phone that interests me. Been down the Galaxy road, had a Note, Nokia, Moto, etc. But one phone I have, strangely, never used was HTC. Going to jump in, try Fi, and if it works for my area, I'll dump Big Red and get my family onto Nexus/Pixel phones.
I'm not a spec whore, so based on what I've seen so far, I'm in.
And get rid of this freaking iPhone I have now.

I've got a Nexus 6 at the moment. I had been waiting to get a Nexus 2016.
Unfortunately I think the price of this is going to rule it out for me.

Buying a Pixel XL no matter what, as long as the 128Gb version is less than $900.

The phone specs aren't worth $900 or even $800.

the price is damn high , maybe will consider buy a boom 7

They lost me at 5.5" screen and dropping the front facing stereo speakers.
I never let price decide anything for me but the above 2 just killed it completely for me no matter how cheap or expensive the device may or may not be.
Id be happier with another 6P likely lol
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk 2

I was almost leaning towards the Pixel XL when the rumor was still ~$600, because I actually would have liked something closer to a phablet. That, and the fact that AT&T is supposedly going to offer it on the Next program, made it attractive. At closer $800-$900, though, they can keep it.
I'm still somewhat interested in the Pixel, as it would make a nice upgrade to my M8, but at the rumored price I'm going to be taking a wait and see attitude. I did pay nearly that for my M8 two years ago, which would mean my phone bill wouldn't move too much. However, it's not the sure thing it would have been at a more reasonable price.

Based on specs so far I like it. But if it's the same price as a note 7 or iPhone 7 then I will probably pass.

If pixel xl 128 gb is for $650 - $750 yes then y not as per the leaks pixel xl will be 5.5 qhd screen snapdragon 821 and 4gb ram with ip53 Yes not bad i think so there should be only 64 and 128gb who buys a 32gb phone these days.

To clarify, I voted based on reading the thread title, which includes the words "based on leaked specs and price." After looking at the actual poll, it only asks "will you buy the Pixel?" I voted no based on what I thought this was asking, but yes, I am buying a pixel, just not based on the leaked specs and price.

6gigs of RAM would have helped, given the pricing. I'm really hoping their implementation of VR is going to completely nail it and take it to a whole new level. Hoping they give you their Daydream VR headgear as part of buying a PixelXL...can't wait any longer for the 4th!

It needs to be 128 snapdragon 821, better image stabilizer, and on T-Mobile carrier so I can just jump to it. I have jump 1.0

To date the largest top and bottom bezels are on phones that have front facing speakers like the HTC phones and the 6p.....but the pixels phone bezels in the latest leaked images look like the bezels are even larger than those phones and they don't even have front facing speakers. Doesn't make sense. Not to mention...not having ffs is a major loss.
I also dont think the camera will be much better than the 6p...... especially if they don't add OIS. Top tier phones nowadays need to also have optical zoom like the iPhone 7.
Additionally the 4 gigs of ram is an improvement but with the same size battery as the 6p....even though the screen is slightly smaller....it may not have better battery life than the 6p.

V20 has a removable battery and sd card slot plus a bigger screen which is all good.
What is bad is LG is notorious for locking the bootloaders depending on which model you get and development will almost surely be better on the pixel.

What's Next After The 6P?

So to those of you who are still using this phone, what's your next jump? S8 S8+... Pixel 2, other?
I've really enjoyed this phone, but it's time to start thinking about the next upgrade. Oddly, I didn't actually unlock & root this phone. I think this is the first time I haven't done that with a phone. So that's not huge to me.
I personally think the Pixel 2 may be the next jump as I do enjoy the non bloatedness of these phones. I hope though that Google (as much as they charge) competes really well. With the S8 & iPhone 8 coming they have to.
Have any of you thought about your next phone from this one? Are you sticking with this one as long as you can & feel you'll be able to get a replacement that compares? I know for me, the whole buying this from Google & the price was a big factor. Unfortunately the price thin isn't going to happen again. The $475 I paid for this I fear is long gone unless I venture outside of the norm. OnePlus, LeeEco, Huawei, etc. Having Verizon though pretty much limits any of those options however.

it's too early to talking about next phone but between phone in store right now I interested to "moto z force", sadly just exclusive to the US market via Verizon and I'm not living in US! ?

Still very happy with the 6P. I'll probably keep using it as my main phone at least until the end of the year. Will mostly consider OnePlus and Pixel 2 when I'm ready to replace the 6P.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I think more and more the top of the line phones are just not necessary anymore. Once my 6p dies (which may be a while as I got a brand new replacement from them for the bootloop issue) I'll consider the Pixel 2 (or 3), but most likely I'll lean towards oneplus, or ZTE, or Honor, all of which have had great phones this year, for much less than the pixel.

Any phone that gives me a SD and fast updates.
It's time for Google to stop the no SD card crap.

I don't know if that's going to happen with the no SD thing. This is where I could see getting the S8 vs the Pixel 2 just to lower the price. 32GB phone then buy the card. Hell with all of the goodies Best Buy throws in I'd almost bet on some sort of freebie or two. Whether a wireless charger, SD card or VR headset. I can see something.
I bet the oneplus 4 or 5 or whatever they call it will be pretty good. I just wish more phones could be taken to Verizon. Leaves me with only a few options.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I'm holding out for the Pixel 2 myself, I have Project Fi so its practically the only choice I have for upgrading. I just hope it has some premium features like legit water resistance and a better looking design. I also hope they have enough in stock that I can order one because doubt my Nexus 6P will last that long around then.

Nothing thus far. The 6P already does everything I need to in addition to the large 3450 mAh battery, great screen, and awesome speakers.
Don't think shelling out a few hundred dollars is worth it for under the hood specs that I would barely notice like opening an app milliseconds faster. It's not like my 6P is unable to do what the newer gen phones can do.

The 6P battery has been excellent to me, I can't speak for anyone else. It compares to my Droid Turbo that had a 3900 mAh battery. It could be "worse in history" to you, but it has been nothing short of stellar to me. It has absolutely exceeded my expectations given that I've read mixed reviews regarding the SD810.

There's always those with bad experiences such as with cars, electronics, etc. I'm talking based on MY experience, not from what I've read, heard, seen, etc. I KNOW based on my experience that I can rely on my phone being at 50% by bed-time, so there's no reason for me to complain about that.

That's funny you say budget phone. Google stated in their mention of the next Pixel that everything is premium & there will be no budget one. I guess to them the current phone is premium.

Ever since I took the nougat update my battery life has sucked. I love the phone, but had to go back to the 7 edge. I'd love to give the Apple 7+ a try. Haven't been on an Apple device in years. The Samsung 8 plus it's very tempting.

Sounds like you're platform agnostic like me Best way to be. Too much good tech out there to get caught in fanboyism

We've thought about waiting for the iPhone 8. The wife & I have yet to own an iPhone. Her only thought was she already has so many Android apps. I'm kind of the same where I don't want to dump a bunch of $ on a new platform. Get the S8 or Pixel 2 & I've already got the apps I use & have paid for.

Ya, I try to keep an open mind. I wish my pocket book could handle it though lol. Honestly I loved my LG g4, just hated the battery life. I'm kind of finding the 5.5" screen size around my liking. The only thing I hate about the s7 edge is how curved the sides are. It sounds like the s8's will have less of a curved screen. The pixel XL always send to be out of stock in the 128gb version.

pixel 2

Hi do anyone know where can i get new pixel 2 ui launcher..

The device isn't even released yet!
Wait for some dev to get the device and extract the launcher. That means about 2 weeks.

Ooh thanks for reply. I became eager after seeing it.

What do you guys think of the Pixel 2 & 2 XL?

Expensive but well featured.

The pixel XL 2 is too expensive and I don't like the disign of it's little brother. I decided to go for a OP5 after the presentation and Wait for the pixel 3.

wait what? probably the most simple phone on the market with a premium price....
Its a beast, but I just don't get the huge hype for a iPhone with android OS.

What the hell are you talking about?

Best camera experience on a smartphone and 3 years of software\security support.... Pixel sucks!

Got one on order. Not the XL though since I don't have huge hands and love 1 handedness. White shipping has me waiting till 15 of November though and Black is shipping out this month.

What the use of launching at such a high price then dropping it too nearly half in few month's. See oneplus there price is constant till end of stock. Pricing should be affordable to average class person.

Person who buy now at $600+ regret by seeing price drop about 100-200 in just 6 month's. Hard earning person will feel bad. Everyone dream of having premium phone but it shouldn't give regret. Companies need to care for common man feelings too.

tell me what this phone has most than the v30, note8, s8, iphone8 or this cheap op5???
android is about features. pixel 2 is a freaking iphone with android. great camera, no jack, snap835, 4gbram, no sd, no fm, no cap button, and probably hard to service because a temporary ip protection ( yeah its not permanent).
lets pay 900 and get less feature than the op5.
dont get me wrong this will be a beast , but nothing crazy for the price.
v30 win over all this year flagship, but people are looking at the pixel, really?

Better off buying the 1st Gen pixel and porting software features from the 2nd Gen.

I don't get what you're talking about with the IPhone thing. Calling the Pixel an IPhone?
Anyway, I don't even think it will be as fast as the OP5, we'll have to see. All the other SD835 SoC's are all clocked at a lower frequency (2.35ghz compared to 2.45ghz). Plus, OOS on the OP5 has been supremely optimized with the hardware. Nothing I've seen has been as fast as the OP5 yet that I've seen in side by side tests and also haven't seen any phone with a battery that lasts like this one.

From the initial hands on, Google is using some kind of magic for the camera.

I just need that Pixel 2 live wallpaper.Waiting for the system dump or some one to extract them.

yeah, well this is because back in the days, iphone was simple , no button, no features, no jack, no sd, no wireless charging. aka no features, and it was selling at high prices.
by the mean time, android phones were packed of features; buttons, removable battery, sd, wireless, fm, ir, temp sensor, roms, etc.
features wise and price wise , looks like they use the same markenting as the iphone...
