So I have officially placed my order for the Xperia Z Ultra and it will be here come Tuesday. With that much screen real estate I just couldn't resist. I know I'm going to miss the BoomSound speakers, but outside of that, I'm ready to see how this thing works out. Anyone else leaning towards getting the Z Ultra?

Silly, maybe. From what I've seen so far, the build quality is sound, the phone is snappy, the screen is responsive. The HTC one Max would have been a decent alternative if it had been water and dust resistant.

I absolutely love Sonys ui, colors and feel. From the One to the other, don't know, you gotta decide lol. But that's a damn good phone, the Sony. Hope it's viewing angles are ok, that's Sonys only flaw. I have the honami, Ultra launcher, on my one now. Love it.

Is it just me or does the Moto X feel very reminiscent of the Samsung G-nex?
I think so, too. The GNex, to me, definitely feels better than my N4, recently sold S4 and every other phone I've owned. I wish the X didn't have such sharp edges though and because that it comes in second for comfort. I will never get rid my GNex... ever.

You mean in hand or something? I don't really think so given its a bit smaller and the gnex was pretty plasticy.
The shape being rounded corners and such seems to be the one similarity

yea... the shape and form factor. the materials build is worlds different of course..
I meant the form factor also, not a fan of so much plastic. Although I must say my GNex is put together better than two S3s and an S4 I've owned, tight fitting and responsive buttons.

I think it does. The look and feel of it is almost like the natural evolution of the galaxy nexus. I love my new moto x
Gnex is much more comfortable to hold if you have large hands, comparing with moto x

It reminds me of the galaxy Nexus a little but I love this phone sooooo much more than my Nexus.

Lol the gnex is the reason I left Verizon. They gave me like 5 gnexs lemons. Never had reception or battery life screens always developed dead pixels. When the nexus 4 came out I I ended my contract early along with my unlimited plan and went to T-Mobile and have had no regrets.
They do look similar though. Probably overall footprint is close.

Haha same here.
My first gnex had some issue with LTE radio. Second one was OK but it ate batteries like crazy.
Camera was terrible . at least the moto x is somewhat OK. Only thing really similar is the screen size

Yea my first one was flawless but then it stopped charging. Plus I'm on an employee plan so I dont qualify for getting a different device after x amount of replacements. 7 devices later finally upgraded to a note 2 and a DNA

Is it worth a full price upgrade from a Verizon Galaxy Nexus? Full price to retain unlimited data.
I had the Verizon GNex... absolutely horrible experience. The Moto X is leaps and bounds beyond anything that came before it, especially the GNex.

The outside edge of the gnex is so dam sturdy. It's not metal but I put that phone thru more than any other and it never broke. Best tank phone I've ever had hands down.

I loved my Gnex, maybe I just had good luck. It did fine for me. I upgraded to the Motox because my Gnex was feeling a little dated.
After using it for a few weeks, holding my wife's Gnex feels gigantic.
I'm very happy with my purchase... But I was happy with my toro as well.

I've been saying this on both tech shows I host. I upgraded from a galaxy nexus on Verizon. My other choices were the s4 and the HTC 1. I was in love with the gnex curve and form factor / size and the moto x is exactly that. If the gnex was made with better materials it might have felt as good as the moto x does in the hand. Maybe it's because the gnex is a bit outdated hardware wise, but the moto x seems so much faster and more smooth. I seriously love this phone. For my use case, it's perfect. The only thing I'm worried about is getting updates. Verizon sucks at updating devices, so I'm curious when we'll finally get 4.3.

I can confirm an earlier rumor that the ultra and mini are both launching in all white (Kevlar too) the 29th of this month, for black Friday. No white maxx in sight. Pricing will be the same as current.

Why would anyone want a white type of cell phone? That certainly would show up dirt real easy
fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
NVR had an issue with my RAZR HD. Maybe you should wash ur hands more often. Lol. Jk
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Never been a fan of white phones, but after seeing the White Mini, I'd actually rock that. the KEVLAR gives it a nice look.
Its actually not that great, I'm not a fan of the way it looks. By the way it was originally to be launched the 22nd but got pushed back.
Saw one droid ultra being sold in ebay (ain't sure if it's the real deal), but there is a small motorola logo on the front left corner). Guess it is a prototype.

Yea those r prototypes, if it was legit.
That's actually why I'm glad there releasing the white ultra because now I'll be able to swap the glass on my maxx to white like the leaked prototype pics (white glass, matte black Kevlar)

Hello All,
I just wanted to make everyone aware of something on my Z1s (Tmobile) that has been bothering me. When taking flash photography I was getting a wash out on the right of the pictures. At first I thought it was the camera but I experimented and realized that this would only happen when using my case (Tech-21 Impact Tactical Shell) purchased from T-mobile. Upon closer inspection by using the flashlight feature of the phone, I realized that the tiny edge of the case around the flash is causing the reflection. You would figure that a black case would not reflect light but it does. I rubbed the small little area with a lead pencil and it improved. So I will try to coat it with some other Flat Black paint and see what works better.
I guess since the flash is so close to the lens this can happen with other cases as well depending how big the hole around the flash is. Hopefully this will help others out.
Peace !
Walt
Happens with almost every case with a cutout for the camera. I've tried almost all of them on my Z1, haha. Expensive is no guarantee. I've had €45 cases that do this (noreve, roxfit, krusel, zenus) and all the way down. Best I found was a £2.99 thin plastic one.
If it ever comes, I have an aluminium bumper frame on order from China.
I know you have a z1s, but check the Z1 accessories forum, case discussions in there.

I have the black tech21 case too, can I just cut the camera hole a little bigger?

I thought about using a rotary tool to enlarge the cut out in a roxfit case, but the noreve has a huge cutout and it still happens

I would just because I'm still using the HSPA+ version. Chances are the next Moto G will have LTE by default. That's worth an upgrade for me.

You are saying it wrong... It doesn't "keep the 720p screen"... It keeps the 320 dpi... Our eyes can't see the difference in the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 screen, because we can only see a 320 dpi image from 20 cm... Unless you use cardboard, you will NEVER notice the difference.

I prefer the rear or bottom speaker placement. It looks like a Moto E successor instead of Moto G. Some Brazilian news sites are saying it could be Moto M.

No it isn't. Notice the front facing camera at the top right? That, and the front panel is far too lengthy to be a Moto E.
I wonder if it will be even cheaper and if yes, and they will but better cpu and gpu there, what will be the cut? without gorilla glass? maybe using TN display this time? weaker battery? the price cut must have to come from somewhere

1. I doubt the screen will be touched, making the next G with a worse screen is waaaaay to Windows (that Lumia 530)... It will just make everything look bad, and Motorola focused on user experience with the Moto series.
2. The battery can't be modified if they put another CPU, the Cortex A7 is the only decent architecture for this battery size, new cpu + smaller batter = 0 battery life.
I doubt it will have any other changes appart from a new camera (this is really a painting canvas) and the front facing speaker.
The good part is, if they keep the same chipset and they release it with Android L, it means we are surely getting M, maybe even N (or if not officially, it will be easy to port, like novafusion team does with the S3 mini, xperia U, galaxy s advance and ace 2, which have the same chipset and use almost identical cyanogenmod builds)
