I checked it out at my local corporate store, it was just the red and black 32g models . I had to test out the camera since no one is saying anything about the clarity of it.. And I must say its pretty good. Better then my nexus 5 and all the prior moto x and droid lineup

I went to a corporate store in Minneapolis yesterday and today and guy told me they can't display it until tomorrow. I didn't ask about on-hands or availability, I just want to see one.

Ya know, for not liking this phone much you sure watch it's updates and post a lot here. What's the deal? You getting one?
Anyways, how good did the display look with all that rez? Good color? Nice and clear?
I thought it was pretty good, I only navigated through the menus and the camera and its mostly dark colors throughout the menus. But it was pretty good in my eyes .Only problem with the 32g is that they look and feel so much like the other droids

did you get a chance to check out one of the ballistic nylon ones? that's what I'm going with if i pull the trigger.
I saw all three at my local store a couple of nights ago. The moron that made the display tags for them labelled them all "16GB $179.99 on a two year contract". The person that greeted me at the door didn't even know that they were in the store. Inspiring.

It feels softer/less slick than most ballistic nylon that I've handled. Also snagged all of the microscopic burs on my skin, like a microfiber cloth. Caused a "nails on a chalkboard" sensation. I'm set on the 64GB though so I'll have to live with it.

Thats discouraging. I'll have to feel it out a bit, I could see that getting annoying. I'll probably end up buying that one anyway, cuz I reeaaally don't like the kevlar look anymore. It was cool when they first started doing it with the OG Razr and such, but now it just seems tacky and dated.
I've never seen the Kevlar phones of the past, but I thought it looks very good on turbo... Extremely well built. I did like the feeling of the fiberglass phones better on my hand, but will opt for the Kevlar for personal use. I actually like the looks of the Kevlar more than the moto leather or wood.

Curious if it would get any better with time once it's "broken in". I feel like it would be annoying, but it could also smooth out the fibers as you handle it.
Went to the VZW store in the skyway (pretty small store) and they only have the MGF models out on the floor. Might hit the store near home after work and see if they have the nylon out. I liked what I saw, though. A bit bigger than I imagined, but I liked the 2 minutes I spent with it.

TIL you can only Thank 8 posts per day. But you sir, deserve one. Remind me tomorrow.
Ordered September 11th. Delivery was supposed to be today. Has been stuck on being built ever since then. Just chatted online and said maybe 23rd.
It's a 64gb black/black leather with dark silver accent.
Another reason I'm losing interest is moto finally put some cases online. Ugly. Spigen and Rearth aren't selling cases for this phone on amazon either. Moto isn't selling the power support screen protectors which have been my favorite but are sold for very few phones. (My company issued us 6+'S and power support was out of stock on smooth protectors so i got matte and they're still damn good). Rearth and spigen don't have screen protectors or cases available either. Little reason for me to get this phone if I can't accessorize it properly. What say you guys?
Seems like you already decided
It sucks refuse it..... Mine should be here by Oct 5. Can't wait

If accessories are the driving force in your phone choice stick with the iPhone.

Convince you to not return a phone you haven't even even gotten yet because you waited a week after they went on sale and now its taking too long to get to you? and their aren't enough cases yet? Go get an iphone
Accept it, play with it and rma it if you don't like it. I wouldn't send anything back without a rma. I ordered on the fourth early in the am and they still haven't even started building mine.

Stick with iPhone? Are you nuts? It was company issued iPhone. It's terrible. I appreciated ios's strengths, but now owning one, I hate Apple's ui even more. The ui isn't all it's cracked up to be, not simple like so many people proclaim, it's a cluster**** and performance is slightly above par with kitkat. Doesn't hold a candle to marshmallow. That being said, android still has it's downfalls, but nowhere near as bad as android.
And,yes , accessories are a must for me. I already worry about my big ass note4 at my job. A cracked screened or borked phone could happen any moment. Good thing build quality is up to par. Don't mind l metal frame, i still would prefer a nice ergonomic plaastic. The moto x is looks good. Looks like it can handle my job dangers easily enough. Hate the striped back though. Dimple looks too low. But the original moto x was awesome minus being too small. The moto pure is an almost perfect note4, minus s pen, taking a hit on low light camera shots and the reception should be badass. My note4 isnt a slouch with reception , but moto and Nokia are king in that area.
Yes I am upset it's late. Not a big deal. Would've been nice if they updated status to reflect that. The lack of proper cases and screen protectors pushes it past the edge of not being a keeper. My job is too rigorous and dangerous to humans and phones to go without protection . moto reps have no idea or clue when accessories become available. Am really looking forward to having 64GB internal and 128 or 200GB external sd card. Just frustrated they're botching the launch out the gate. Looking for reasons to go with it. Our iPhone 6+ are at&t, but reception is still lacking. Moto should make up for that with T-Mobile. T-Mobile is making a come up in coverage. I wish their RIL's were more aggressive with 700mhz band. I know moto is pushing an update to remedy that soon. Also, looking forward to somewhat more timely updates, which Samsung and carriers have bombed. Can't believe the other 3 carriers haven't pushed 5.1.1 yet. And Samsung phónes are notorious for less than desirable updates. Seems the initial firmware and subsequent updates to same #'ed firmware are the only polished firmwares. 5.0.1 is terrible. And for those that don't know, the beta marshmallow on nexus5 is great compared to 5.1.1. I really think a lot of people will really enjoy how polished marshmallow is compared to 5.1.1. For example, using power save mode on marshmallow doesn't gimp phones like 5.1.1. Still hate the color change though when using power save mode. Im sure xposed will address that in near future.
Anyways, the lack of desirable accessories is making me less anxious to get it. If I don't have proper protection I can't carry it to work or use as daily driver. Hoping someone makes a great case/sales pitch that I should stick it out and try/keep it. I do like somethings about tpuchwiz, but the bloat, overweight tpuchwiz, bad ram management and physical buttons are hard to bear with. If my htc m8 supported 700mhz I'd probably be rolling withthat. It's been deprecated to fancy music player and phone to use when my note4 is being charged early before going to bed.
Somebody, change my mind. I really loved the original moto x but it was just too damn small. Barely, and I mean barely bigger than iPhone 5/5s. Impressed a lot of people.
Wow. I ordered mine the minute it went on sale and I've had mine since the 11th. Interesting. But yes, if you are looking for accessories than get the iPhone. That is the only thing iPhone have going for them.

Lol oh...
Came from oneplusone. No complaints here. Ordered, received earlier than expected. If you think moto fiasco is horrible, your in for surprise. I love it, love it, and love it. Where are the devs at? Can't wait for roms that will make this device real deal pure edition. Pretty good now, im pretty certain it will be one of the best. OnePlus 1 running temasek rom feels better than moto x pure stock rom. I can't wait and hope leaving OnePlus optimism stays that way.

I think this phone is excellent. I like the things that matter most - the display, camera and speakers. Battery is good for me also. I can't imagine buying a phone based on accessories. That would have no influence on my decision.
Time for you to go back in Orbit.
You clearly stated your needs and wants the Moto doesn't fit those requirements for you.
Time to move on.

Ordered mine on the 11th also. Delivery estimate was for today. Lol. Haven't seen any change since being built on the 12th. I haven't called to haggle them. I'm assuming it will be here next week. Black front, slate back, dark titanium frame and accents. 64gb.

Rearth just released screen protectors - http://bit.ly/1KnOfrJ
Stuff's coming out, slowly but surely.
If you need us to convince you, chances are you don't want the device.
If you're worried about screen protectors, I bought this one and it's very durable, and I can't even tell it's on my phone.

That being said, this phone is great! If you don't already feel good about the purchase though it will sour the experience as long as you own it. Return it if you don't feel good about it. At least someone will get it as a refurb at a lower price that will appreciate it that way.

Lol the phone only been out for a week and a few days. I give it a month or so to see some cases and such
1. What do you currently own and why it might be time for a change?
2. What else have you considered?
3. Why the One X?
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
I'll kick it off.
Current phone HTC One M7. Loved the build quality but my speakers have seen better days (crackling). No more support.
Considered the Nexus 6p, similar build to m7 but having held one it's too darn big (thumb pilot here). 5x plastic no thanks.
The One X looks the part and is identical in size to the m7. I'm still in contract so the price is appealing. But is it an upgrade?
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
Main concerns:
Battery is smaller than OPO. Wifi doesn't support AC which isn't th3e biggest deal as it has N support.
Band 17 in USA. Other people mentioned that Operating Band 4 is still 1700mhz so this may work on ATT.
Main issue for me is the lack of nfc, seems like One Plus thinks they can ignore it...

Same here with the m7.
A 5" phone is my sweet spot. The design is nice. The processor is a clear upgrade to the 600. It has a gig more ram. The storage is lacking, but it does support sd cards. My last phone with sd support ended with a permanent loop trying to load/scan the card... So I'm wary of this. According to Pei, oxygen OS is getting a 6.0 update... He just didn't say when. Also, oxygen has some of its own homegrown 6.0 fearures (doze mode, permissions, etc.). How good they are, I don't know.
I'm feeling very intrigued by this phone. The invite system and faq page saying it takes weeks to fill an order once places has me second guessing.

Quality, price and size has me interested. Particularly the size, bigger screen but same size overall. Thought I had to have the 6p but a mate got one and I'm not interested in a phone that needs two hands to use comfortably.

Don't buy the one plus x. After having issues with my oneplus one and two, I'm done with one plus as a whole!
The only good thing with the x is they went with the 801 instead of the mediatek crap as the rumors had said.

Oneplus one had yellow screen, then developed touchscreen issues. They customer service (lack of) is horrible.
Oneplus two had home button issue, overheated issues, and oxygenOS is alpha at best. Lag lag lag.
They are not ready to be a major player in the smartphone world. So if you have any issues(and you probably will) get ready to wait like two months just to get a replacement device. Emailing then and getting one response back a day, sending in pictures, and videos to prove to them your issues, for them then to stop emailing you completely to then get some other rep asking you to do the same thing all over again. That is if you get a invite.

I had a 2gb moto g and I would choice it over the x. Especially with warranty issues if any down the road. While the x has better specs, the g is water resistant, and you can moto maker is depends on where you live(certain countries) battery life is also good on the g, and the screen is nice but the x screen with amoled will pop better but with amoled screen you will most likely have screen burn!!!!

They are a dodgy company in every way.
Customer support nearly non-existent. Terrible quality assurance/control. I'd just stay away altogether, especially now they're using OxygenOS which is basically stock android.. But far worse.
Honestly, it's just one let down after another after another.
I'd sooner go a Xperia Z5 Compact.
1. Currently using my old Nexus 4 after breaking my Moto X 2014.
2. I actually bought the Nexus 5X, but returned it because I didn't like the size.
3. Size and price.

Yup, it's settled, screw OnePlus. I'm going for the G3
Why do you people come here just to sh!t all over a product? Obvious that several of you aren't buying one, what are you doing here?
I had no issues whatsoever with my Oneplus 1 and enjoyed a pretty robust development community. The phone was just too big for me.
Then I bought a Moto G3, which I like a lot, size is perfect.. but it is a bit laggy and 720p. I keep thinking- if this thing just had an 801 (which is still a completely legit cpu). Bam! Oneplus comes out with this. I'm even surprised at the 3GB's of ram for that price. I'm definitely buying one. Invite's already claimed.
Granted, I heard of the nightmare customer support I luckily never had to contact. I've heard of the touch screen issues, which my +1 never had. I'm not saying the company or the QC is perfect, but for $250 i'm willing to take a chance on a company that has already sold me a solid device.
Bottom line-That size, that price, decent specs, I'm in.

That's interesting I was thinking of buying a 5x, but it did look a little bigish to me for just 5.2". I'm glad I waited for this phone.
They could easily try to get $299 out of this phone. The price totally seals the deal for me.
Was, until I found out the 2nd SIM slot is shared with microSD. That means you either have dual SIM without microSD, or single SIM + microSD.
Hello,
I am an old guy, so please excuse me, I don't have much idea about the latest technologies.
Recently, I bought Nexus 6P for my son's B'day from Amazon.com. I only knew that phone has to be unlocked to worked internationally,aAnd my son lives in India.
Now, I bought Nexus 6P Silver, 128GB Unlocked (I will put the Amazon link at the bottom), and one of my neighbor's son was telling that the LTE or 4G and 3G might not work in India, because of Frequencies are different in India and stuff. He was saying that the Nexus 128GB US Version is different or something. All I know is, he uses Vodafone in India and I guess he use internet, but I am not sure if he uses 4G or 3G or something else.
That neighbor's son ask me to ask here because people here are knowledgeable (except me, haha) , who can guide me.
I already bought the phone and I will be leaving for India around 1st June. Let me please know, what you all think.

Hi old guy,
You can use willmyphonework.net which is pretty good for checking this type of information.
Seems your son will not be able to use 4GLTE on either the GLobal or the Nth AMerica version using that network? But, He'll be able to use 2G and 3G no worries according to the site. Awesome phone, I would have thought he'd be well chuffed if he's into tech. If he's not, maybe the Samsung would have been better.
According to that site It works for 4G on idea cellular, maybe on Reliance Jio.
Cheers.

Hey, thanks for the reply.
That's what I saw that only Idea will work in India. But what about Reliance Jio, Relaince Jio is not released yet and there is no information about frequencies. I think he will be happy with 3G, he was previously having Nexus 5 and he's keep complaining about the low space. That's why I grabbed 128GB. And yes, he loves tech, he is studying computer science, so I guess.
I am not sure if I can return the Phone back to Amazon, as I already bought it. So I guess let it be, I hope 4G LTE will not make that huge difference. What you think.
Edit: And Good Lord! This phone is huge. I mean it is not completing getting inside my pocket. Will there be any risk of it getting bending or probably break in two like that ?
Edit 2: And I would love you can suggest me a good shockproof case for 6P if you already own this device. I don't want him asking more money rolleyes if he drops it. And is screen protector required ? (Sorry for so many edits). Thanks.

Edit 2: And I would love you can suggest me a good shockproof case for 6P if you already own this device. I don't want him asking more money rolleyes if he drops it. And is screen protector required ? (Sorry for so many edits). Thanks.

You should be able to return it. If you have Amazon Prime, you can Definitely return it!

Hey, thanks for the reply.
That's what I saw that only Idea will work in India. But what about Reliance Jio, Relaince Jio is not released yet and there is no information about frequencies. I think he will be happy with 3G, he was previously having Nexus 5 and he's keep complaining about the low space. That's why I grabbed 128GB. And yes, he loves tech, he is studying computer science, so I guess.

Yep. They're big. Once you go big, you find it difficult to go back as they are just more compelling to view. Don't do anything stupid with it, and it won't break in two.
I truly hope your son loses his **** in happiness and has a great birthday surprise, but you might consider going about tech presents differently next time. Tech heads put in a lot of research into the exact and most suitable phone for their individual and particular situation. I'll let my wife buy me anything else... You should see some of the dumbass stuff she's dressed me in over the years. But I ask strongly for her to never buy me tech without checking first. Anyway, tech sort of keeps us awake at night. If you're not going back anytime soon, you should investigate buying one of the new live covers from Google itself. I have one coming from a Stateside relative of my current city of abode. Awesomeness!
Cheers,

haha, that's for the tip.
For the live case, is it really good, I mean does it protect the phone if it drops ? And screen protector is necessary?

From what I have seen, I will have to say that you'll be better off getting a different case.

Seeing that it was shipped and sold by Amazon you should be able to do a return within 14 days.

The Live Cases are very good looking, but I doubt they can take a good impact. I use a Spigen Rugged Armor case (link here). Spigen cases in general are excellent at absorbing impact while also looking decent at the same time. I also use a tempered glass screen protector by @intelliARMOR (link here). This screen protector is even beyond awesome. The oleophobic is terrific and feels even better than stock screen. And it's tempered glass too so you don't have to worry about impacts or scratches.

Hi old guy,
You can use willmyphonework.net which is pretty good for checking this type of information.
Seems your son will not be able to use 4GLTE on either the GLobal or the Nth AMerica version using that network? But, He'll be able to use 2G and 3G no worries according to the site. Awesome phone, I would have thought he'd be well chuffed if he's into tech. If he's not, maybe the Samsung would have been better.
According to that site It works for 4G on idea cellular, maybe on Reliance Jio.
Cheers.

Hey,
I posted the same post on reddit too ( I will give you link at the bottom), and the first guy saying that the 3G will also not working or something. But according to the site which you gave me shows that 3G will work.
It's so much confusing.
Reddit Link : https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus/comments/4kcz1v/nexus_6p_for_my_sons_bday_gift/
Trust me on this, no one would be happy with a 3G phone. 6P packs a 5.7incher and assuming that your son would use the phone avidly, it would hardly give 3-4hrs screen on time. I highly suggest you to return it.
PS: How old is your son? I won't advice this phone for teens.

He is 22. And what I have seen, 4G is still not very much available in India. 4G is available in main cities, but when you travel to less popular city, it will turn to 3G. Only Airtel and Vodafone is offering 4G till now and that too, it is not country wide.
I am just confused and wanted to know, if 3G will work.

One manual way to check is to look at several carriers in India and see if you can find out what band they support. You need both the band number and the frequency to know if the phone supports that specific band. It's a bit tedious, but will give you a definite answer.
Why is there no Verizon LG V20 section setup yet? Usually these are up before the phone is even released and it is now currently available.
Is there something special about Verizon phones? What applies to one phone seems to apply across all carriers with the exception of the unlockable bootloader the Verizons don't have.

Sadly I feel confident that verizon will have changed something about the phone...missing settings/features etc....usually verizon phones are their own separate beast. Lol

Verizon always makes security changes to the firmware which requires unique methods for modding. This is particularly true for rooting and unlocking methods.
Anyone on verizon take the new update?

I'm coming from a Note 7 which had root almost on day one. I certainly didn't expect it that fast but it does happen....I'm still pissed about having to return the Note 7. I'm really considering returning the V20 anyway, it feels like junk compared to the Note 7. It's leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
Just boxed it back up to send back, I just can't do it. If the Note 7 is ultimately disabled, I'd rather use an old Note 3 I have than the V20.
Get t-mobile bootloader unlocked ???? =)
I've got the V10 on Verizon ... and I love it. Best phone I've had in a loooong time.
The Verizon store (Chicago) has them in stock (Titan only), in there as they opened and I was the very first visitor to use the phone and spent over an hour toying around with it and here are my thoughts;
1. You CAN block phone numbers FROM THE PHONE! ! ! ! (Can't do that on the V10 - and CallBlock apps will block the ringer, but not VoiceMail.)
2. I was able to delete some of the Verizon Injected Apps - but not all the bloatware.
3. Loads faster, open/closes App's faster - (although the difference is infinitesimal.)
4. Great App access options and customization.
5. Better 2nd Screen --- and MUCH better user options!
6. Look & Feel: It feels a lighter - and it is. The matte finish is "smoothish", and it's fits nicely in the hand - and here is my only concern; I for one hate covers and cases - I buy a thin phone because it's thin and I care for it like it's made of crystal. The V10 has a wonderful back that is quite grippy. But the V20 is a bit too slippery, so when I get it, I'm going to have to put a light-grit application on the back of it.
7. Camera is nice and the easy ability to switch from the regular lens to the wide-angle right on screen is a great touch for the shots I take. The video options are excellent and adjusting what side of the phone the Audio pulls from is great for shooting party shorts or running commentary on a video -- so much better than the V10 version.
8. The screen is sharper, clearer and an overall nicer view --- again, it's negligible, but for my old eyes nicer.
9. Earpiece is a bit louder ... as is the Speaker (which the staff at the store weren't too happy with my testing ;- )
After playing around with it, downloading some of my favorite apps, it's definitely a better phone. Verizon is offering $300 for my V10 trade in, but I'm going to wait for a few to get it, go through it, find out what apps can be deleted, what's locked and if Root is fully available.
Or, if you wonderful guru's can't get it to Root, then I'll buy the Unlocked version from LG and throw my V10 up for sale.
My two phones worth.

The S7 edge compared to the Note 7, the S7 edge feels like straight junk.
V20 does not feel like junk compared to the Note 7. The V20 is a legit phablet phone.
V20 is made entirely of plastic. Everywhere I looked for reviews they talked about the aluminum back but never mentioned that it was heavy and aluminum because it's actually the phones frame. Top and bottom are both cheap feeling plastic, yeah some plastics feels cheaper than others. Ironically the rigid aluminum back is why there's no wireless charging.
I'm on Verizon. I still haven't even purchased the V20 yet because I'm looking to get the US996 up and running. It's just a hunch, but it seems like my best chance of acquiring root on this device (on Verizon). I've also been following the pixel forum and development is rocking over there. Yet, I think the V20 seems WAY better. The way I see it, I can purchase a pixel xl from Google and be assured that I will probably be able to root, but I really want the V20. Either way, I've already accepted that ANY device purchased through Verizon is bound to be locked down to the max. Anyway, just my 2 cents. With regard to the OP, do you think it's better to split up development or work together in 1 unified forum for the V20 on all carriers?

It doesnt feel like cheap plastic. You obviously don't own one or didn't hold the v20.

Yup, Verizon development goes out the door when you purchase a Verizon phone, even the pixel. Google phones purchased from google will always get development, thats the plus side. Google pixel is over priced and I feel its not worth the high price right now.

There is a carrier specific forum for most phones. Many MODs only work on the firmware version they were designed for. Also there will be carrier specific firmware releases and issues. For example the V10 has a specific forum as do all SGNote versions

I was transferring apps from my Note 7 to the V20 so I had both of them in hand, also had the back off while swapping SDcards. At that point I realized the aluminum back was the only decent part of the phone. But this is just my opinion, I'm sure others will think it's a great phone.

I'm coming from 5 note 7th bought the Google pixel XL and consider that a junk phone the LG V 20 right now to me is a pretty awesome phone to box it up and send it back as Beyond Reason.
They have plastic at the top and bottom for the antenna. I personally don't get a feeling of cheap with this device. The N7 was made of cheap glass. Mine slipped out of my pocket and fell literally 3" (i was lying down)and cracked. It sounds to me like you're more upset with the Samsung debacle than anything else. Go get a note 4. That'll hold you until the note 8 comes out.

I agree on the V20 being a premium phoe, but I have to disagree on the S7 Edge, it does not in any way, shape or form feel like "junk" to me.
