What are your thoughts on this? Will you upgrade to the next Nexus is ever LG does come out with it? For those with experience with LG phones, how is the build quality?
Cheers!

I don't think. Google buy Motorola, so i think the next Nexus had made by Motorola.
On the road with my NexusS...
Well,
See this article

Its not going to be a moto device.
Lg gets a bad rap in the states. All they have ever really sold here is budget phones and that is what people know.
IMHO anybody that is against lg making this device based off the internals of the optimus g is out of their damn minds. Or just some brand name loyal fanboy trolls.
Sure there where always people that will that prefer amoled screen and that is legitimate.
But a nexus based of those internals is simply great IMHO. It is truly some of the best if not the best components out period. I welcome the change to making a nexus device on true bleeding edge components.
I don't wanna hear crap from OEM fanboys myself. HTC guys where not happy about Samsung doing this device. Samsung guys whine about the rumors of HTC making the next one.
The optimus g is a monster. A nexus phone based of it is great.
Also, I heard that LG makes excellent display hardware as well, so the amoled may not be sorely missed as others are wont to expect.

I will buy it regardless who makes it. Ultimately all that matters is who is overseeing the development of it which will be Google.

For amoled lovers they will miss it. Some love the looks of those displays and its their preference. Also being able to adjust colors in the kernel some love. Even if another display is better in just about every way some just prefer amoled.
I am not one of them. My buddy has a HTC one x and I love that screen.
If anybody is curious about what kind you like most. Go to a sprint store and look at gnex/gs3/evo lte. Or att and one x /sg3 and compare.
More rumors flying.. Sealed phone.. That may be a complete deal breaker. I refuse to own a phone I can't replace the battery.

It also says we might be able to choose which nexus we want (hinting that there could be nexus from other manufacturers )

if this is true, it might definately be a deal breaker for alot of people
As phones become thinner it seem sealed is the trend. If the battery capacity is at least 2500mah I don't think there will be as much uproar. (edit: apparently the lg optimus g has 2100mah battery, also 32gb internal storage and no microsd.)
Despite Google bought Motorola mobile division, Motorola phones are locked down and tends the be least updated Android phones, so its a good thing it won't be Motorola branded to me.
i really don't care who makes it as long as it has a a15 series cpu 32gb of storage and if possible retina screen which is better than amoled in both batery an color

I don't see the problem with LG. I had the LG shine and it was very well built, with a metal back and high quality screen, etc. Of course this wasn't a smart phone and that phone came out ages ago. I'm curious to see what LG does with the nexus though.
I welcome them.
I honestly could care less who makes it. LG, Samsung, HTC, etc. As long as I like the look and more importantly the specs! This is what I base all my tech purchases on. Laptops, phones, everything. I buy the best that I can afford at the time or wait so I can save to get even better. It should have at least the same specs as the S3. I would of course like more but that may be asking to much. I am a Nexus buyer. I don't want an S3 because it isn't the Nexus line. I will probably get this phone since I skipped the GNex, regardless of whos name is on it.
I hope the rumors are true. I want a sony nexus so bad!! I miss my xperia
I also read somewhere that there might be more than one manufacturer for the Nexus..

This not be good. The nexus must be just one...not like 1538 Galaxy devices.
The only reason why iPhone is so popular is because is just one top device and the nexus must be just one too. Not important who make it, but if realy make more devices and worse, more manufacturer, he kill the exclusivity of that device.
Just my 5cent

Not to mention further add to the problem of fragmentation of the platform. It will be harder to push updates for more than one new Nexus, not to mention the older Nexus phones like the crespo and maguro.

I already saw the leaked images and feel that the S5 is a taller version of the S4 with ribbed back. And same cheap plastic. No go for me. I think LG or HTC will be winning?
Anyone else disappointed in what the S5 will be?
I think a lot of us are but let see what Samsung does. They are starting the announcement now. We'll have a better opinion afterwards.

The galaxy s1, 2, and 4 all seemed to be big leaps from the prior generation to me. The s3 at the least inherited a whole new design language. I love Sammy but the s5 seems to be a huuuuuge let down. It's not really their fault, most processor, screen, and camera improvements in the last year have been modest. But a let down nonetheless

I'm not at all impressed with the design of it. I expected something new with it. To me, this does not feel new. The whole Galaxy Gear and Fit stuff, don't care too much about either.
Now let's go with what I am impressed with. Just from seeing the UI, and hearing it's not packed full of useless S branded crap is a huge plus to me. The fingerprint scanner is pretty nice too.
I know people aren't too keen on Knox, but I'm hoping Samsung did improve on Knox for the corporate sector. The school district I manage the cell phone service for has upgrades coming in a month or two for 90% of the lines, and depending how Knox's security is, this is going to be a deciding factor in the new mobile purchases.
Maybe the version that leaked isn't the premium version. I will pass judgement once the device is officially announced.
I don't like the increases in size and weight, considering it only gets a 0.1" larger screen. The bezels look larger than the S4. Keeping the RAM at 2GB and 16-32GB storage (and, if the past is any indication, 16GB will be the only one readily available) for the 3rd straight generation, while the Note has increased to 3GB/32GB minimum, indicates that this is no longer their flagship phone. I had an S2, skipped the S3, now have an S4, and will skip the S5. Smallest increase in overall specs in the 'S' series yet. Water resistance is nice, but not that big a deal to me. USB3 is a nice upgrade, but that's the only thing that really jumps out at me. Camera is better, but I don't use a camera that much anyways, so doesn't matter to me. VERY happy they are continuing the use of SD cards & removable batteries, though. If I lost my S4 it would be a toss-up for me between the S5 & Note3.
no FM radio
Lack of FM radio is a disappointment. Still prefere phones with good old fashion radio receiver.
i expected more bang, but i guess jumping from my s2 to an s5 is indeed a huge gain!
The design is just...terrible.
I'm glad I purchased a Note 3. The GS5 looks too big to not be in the Note family.
Same RAM, lower perceived screen resolution, same design, really weird UI redesign. Not impressed. Should have been called GS4+
As for the next HTC phone, I have a feeling it will be a disappointment as well.

3 phones I'm interested in, the Z2 (never owned a Sony phone, it may be time), the G3 and iPhone 6. The S5 is a good phone but it just improved the S4. It's a marriage between the S4 and S4 active in what the S4 should have been in the first place. I think if I say S4 once more I'm gonna puke....
Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk
It look like a plan B device. Plan A failed for some reason!!
These specs are unacceptable
Everyone was hyping it to be the next best thing. Even a Samsung exec said that they understood how they failed to innovate with the S4. I even expected it to have the 2k resolution screen and camera with OIS since LG was able to do it a few months ago. Samsung sure made the people who bought the Note 3 feel good about their purchases.

Just saw this on GSMA. Specs don't seem to be the biggest upgrade and that price is significantly higher than what we paid for the One.
Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/resellers_start_listing_oneplus_two_months_before_launch-news-10377.php
This version of the phone was at the coolicool site for more than a month!
Simply gsmarena found it yesterday!
yeah I saw the news today as well on several source,
Was hoping they will start to use SD 810, and possibly make the memory convention at least 4gb, to cater for at least 64bit memory space of usable space 2gb max.
I wonder what kinda project their operating system will be based on since they going to do if its not CyanogenMod, it will be one of the biggest challenge they will face especially for user who likes to have their own custom rom.
Four GB of ram on a phone is 100% unnecessary at least for now. Cyanogenmod may still work with them in future we do not know for sure. Even if there is no cm 'S' series firmware available in the future, most likely it will come in nightlies as regular builds.
I keep seeing price estimates of $550 and if that is USD, then I think they are making a big mistake (ala Nexus 6 by Google). To me, I saw the point of this phone as something similar to the Nexus 4/5 - a phone that offered a lot at a favourable price over the competition.
From a Canadian perspective at least, a price of $550 USD will mean an end price of around $780 CDN after shipping, currency conversion (which is at about 16.5% right now) and taxes on delivery. That's nearly $300 more than it is for the OnePlus One (which runs about $500 CDN depending on the province you are in). I can't see anyone up here wanting to go that route since it is the same range as every other Android flagship (which run between $600-$700 plus tax) and unless things improve drastically on the customer support front, there is still a lot more risk and hassle buying a phone from OPO than going to your local mall and picking up a phone. If they get as good as say Google is with the Nexus phones (I had easy RMA experiences with them numerous times with the Nexus 4 and 5 where I got brand new phones in about a week) then that may change my opinion.
Of course, Canada may not be a huge market for them and it's not like our weak dollar is their problem but I think they are selling quite a few OPO's here now and that market I can easily see drying up real fast if they raise the price that much. Thought I thought the same for the Nexus 6 as well and maybe that is selling well in Canada despite it being twice the cost of the Nexus 5.
I believe users who bought opo were looking for an upgrade to nexus 5 or bigger phone then nexus 5, but thought nexus 6 was either too big or too expensive lol. If opo releases one plus two that's significantly more expensive, I see even less people taking a risk on this manufacturer in the future

No body would buy it for that price anyway.... Why would someone buy a Chinese phone for high brands prices
The note 4 would be a better choice..
OnePlus had an AMA today and said they were still using the same business plan of small profit margins. The price would only go up if suppliers raised prices.

I second this... And if these specs from the link on OP are true (since these are just rumors), I will most likely not be getting the OnePlus Two; totally not worth it. I really hope these rumors are fake, or I'll be going back to HTC as my next phone.

Here is the latest from the rumor mill:
5.5-inch QHD display size
Snapdragon 810
4GB RAM
3,300mAh battery
Android 5.0
RMB2,699 yuan ($435)
Source: Gizchina
Via: gsmarena.com
This looks better and more probable than the rumor linked in the OP.
It may also have dual-sim capability and an SD card slot:
A still image allegedly taken from a OnePlus promotional video, supposedly shows a device that might be the next phone offered by the upstart manufacturer. The photo reveals a device that supports dual SIM cards and has a microSD slot.

If this is true (and it's a big if), I sure hope that dual SIM is an option since it would make developing custom ROMs nearly impossible.

You'll probably have to hold out for the LG G4 Pro then, as this rumoured device supposedly features this chip. It sounds like it could be a great handset, hopefully its smaller than 5.7" though, I think 5.5" is the max size for a phone, anything bigger and you might as well get a tablet.
I heard OnePlus is gona push the boundary and introduced the worlds first smartphone with 10k screen and a PPI of 1,000 :cyclops:
I can't seem to desire any other phone. I love the display, I love the size. Speed is good. Battery is very good (running stock CM). Not to mention the price.
Also - I love the hardware buttons (I think software buttons - like in the nexus 6p for example - are a waste of screen real estate).
Anyone upgraded and was happy doing so?
I'm in the same boat as you, my phone is almost 2 years old now but i feel no need to upgrade. Unless you live in a area with faster than 150mbs lte, want a finger print scanner, or a crystal clear screen, i would just keep it until the op4.
Had the One for just over a year now and don't feel the need for an upgrade. When I do end up upgrading this phone, it will not be another OnePlus device. The 2 and X have shown little improvements as successors to the One. There will be better options when the time comes
The OPO really opened me up to the modding capabilities of android. As so many people had grabbed the phone and experimented, there was lots of support. CyanogenMod was a key factor in my decision to get it, and I agree with @kenboyles72 : The 2 and X haven't improved enough for me to want to upgrade.
Also, there's nothing wrong with the OPO, even two years old. It still outperforms most of my mates devices
will be a better unit. BUT not that too soon.
opo will be still outstanding unit at least few more years.
Used to handle HTC models prior to opo
really appreciated opo unit.
appropriate in many ways.
I'm going to wait for the OnePlus 3 to see what it has in store, and if the price is high or it doesn't impress me with it's design and such, I'm going with the Xiaomi Mi5. I mean 4GB of RAM, Snapdragon 820, Fingerprint Scanner, Marshmallow, Good Camera, Awesome design and 64GB of storage for ~700AUD, I'm sold.

Is it bootloader unlocked? Or do you plan on staying on stock for several months hoping for some AOSP support only to switch again? Most of the time it's better to wait and see how popular a device is before buying as the more popular a device is the more likely it is to get a good development scene

Boot loader is locked and honestly I don't care. I don't care what Android skin I use, everyone makes a big fuss about oh I can use this and ew Touchwiz and what not and honestly I don't care. I use Google Messenger for texting, Snapchat, Reddit and Facebook Messenger. I'd be lucky to make an hour of phone calls a week. I install Google Now Launcher on the device and an icon pack, the main interaction I have with MIUI is the status bar and recents apps menu. Like looking at this, you wouldn't even know it was MIUI underneath.

OP3 or whatever ~5" Nexus device(s) come out this year.
Went to a Nexus 5x already, but keep leaning back to the OPO that's still lying around.
After The opo will be useless at 2018 i will looking into new battery techs
i was thinking to Nexus 6p, but I've see now the 820's snapdragon devices.... So I think I will wait for sure the next Nexus, if it will be nice i will buy that... And obviously, have a look to opo4
I'm waiting on the note 6... after it gets a custom recovery.
One plus 3 ( if specifications equal or above opo ).
Maybe mi5 when price drops or Next Nexus, opo is still uncomparable as price/quality ratio
Using this thing until it is too slow to use day to day...did this with my HTC g2 and m7. When they start to lag behind too much and battery dies too often, it was upgrade time. I always make sure lots of memory is free for performance.
Sent from the one and only Oneplus One
thus is cool but i am worried if there is hope of android o for us with this one or any good custom roms or any new holy **** kernels as i donot see dev with opo2 then what with opo3 opo 4 will dim
S7 Edge on Tmobile's buy one get one free deal.
I was just browsing the subforum and happened to come across this. I personally own the X which is essentially a more compact One with an AMOLED screen and expandable storage.
I would say keep the One. It's a great phone and if you compare performance of the X to the one, I'd say that there isn't a reason for you to upgrade to anything at all. If you must, go for the X. It's really a side grade if anything as both devices level one another out on terms of HW, but in all honesty, keep what you have. You guys have the best ROMs, the best revision of the 801, and the best kernels after all. Enjoy what you have.
I've had inconsistent performance with the GPS on my OPO. I'm really tempted to get a 5X now that it's $200 (plus that first month of service, right?). Didn't know how important the GPS would be to me.
I'm with Wind Mobile (who's vague as an abstract painting about their release), but they're only giving out phones to new accounts.
The trick is to go to one of their corporate offices (which would be a "warranty repair centre") where they can't deny you a sale of said new device.
So, tomorrow, bright and early, this guy's going into town with the hopes that they have one in stock.
Wind doesn't lock their phones like other carriers do (not at all), so it's going to be interesting to see whether we can get full root on this thing or not (fingers crossed).
Who's going in on said device here in Canada?
Post phone lock states and whatnot to this thread! For science, and curiosity. :fingers-crossed:

Apparently the Wind shop closest to me is backordered on said G5 for at least one week, rep would not confirm anything else (still vague).
Roommate snagged one up at a Bell kiosk just as they got a shipment of camera modules in stock. He spent an hour there between the kiosk rep and on the phone with "customer loyalty" trying to get a better deal since he's been with them 10 years, and nothing came out of it other than the standard free attachment.
His phone warmed up a fair bit during initial setup and charging but he seems happy with it overall. His only gripe is -- why can't the camera attachment hardware buttons snap a photo while screen off?
I got mine - here in Manitoba.
Picked mine up earlier today with the cam plus module for free! I thought they were only giving these to those who re-upped for two years.

- But I did re-up. Sweet, fast phone with some refined MM goodness. Watch out for the edges of the screen protector.
The screen "tapers" or is slightly thinner at the edges/corners - looks like a recipe for frustration as the screen protector will not remain perfect for long. I noticed the after enabling Dev Options I have the "Enable OEM Unlocking" function. I have no illusions that anything would be this simple.....
Yeah but still no Bootloader unlock.
That oem unlocking is just part of os

Wind does have the LG G5 for existing customers too. I found it in the list of upgrade phones. Perhaps I will wait for a proper root before upgrading...
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
my plan was to get the device as soon as it came out, but when I got our demo device in store, I put off my decision till hearing more about the HTC 10.
The things I have noticed with the demo at my store is
1: The module at the bottom does not line up with the device, it might not be lots but it is enough. Plus worry about the future if the gap will get bigger
2: Audio quality is really weak. After using the G4 for the last while, I find the G4 has better placement and a better speaker all together.
3: The phones "metal body" feels weird. It does feel solid but at the same time it does not. Hard to explain
Those are my main issues, now with the camera, I do like the idea with the wide angle lenses but i wish the dual lenses was to help with zoom. Also I wish they upgraded the 16MP shooter. Dont get me wrong, the sensor is great with the G4 and G5, but I would have liked to see it improved even more. One other thing I would loved to see is before the phone was even released, LG going to the different accessory makers to give them the module access so when the phone launched they had more modules.
I dont know, maybe I am just being nit picky but I think LG dropped the ball a bit on this one. My final decision will be when I get my hands on the HTC 10 and G5 at the same time.
Got mine on Friday morning. Comparing this with the G3, G4 and Note Edge I find this thing to be ultra fast. Camera is pretty good although bright, its very noisey. Audio quality is ok.
Waiting for a root method,. unlocked the oem part, hopefully we will see root soon, Cant wait to seeing v10 camera app ports and custom kernels with exposed stuff
