Motorola may be building a better version of the Nexus 6

Shocky · Dec 23, 2014

They need a smaller version with a 1080p display that doesn't burn-in within days, a better camera, sdcard slot and retain the Snapdragon 805 chipset.

Then they will have my attention.

Sounds like the Sony Z3 except for the SD 805.

Yeah. would be nice if the Xperia Z3 used Snapdragon 805, sadly it doesn't.

Snapdragon 801 has been pretty poor and Snapdragon 805 at 1440p equally so. My Shield Tablet has spoiled me and I want to same performance on a phone and sadly the only device that comes close is the iPhone 6. :mad:

Real Racing 3 is so smooth on the shield tablet, yet with Snapdragon 801 it's a stuttery mess but sadly users don't know any better.

Again, everyone is clueless but Shocky.

Unless they have better things to do than play games like the world actually cares.

Under those conditions the Snapdragons do just fine.

Yeah they do fine in what you describe as normal conditions, but then again so does last years flagship phone and the phone the year before that.

Once again, if someone could actually buy the darn thing!
Google/Moto are such idiots with the way they play games with sales.

Merry Christmas and I hope you were not counting on Google for something under the tree.

It is a case unlike previous versions of the Nexus line they want to sell them through the carriers.
In many areas you can just walk into the carriers and get them.

Samsung definitely dropped a snapdragon 810 in the Note 4. Perhaps Motorola is following suit as the two phones are direct competition. Would make sense that the first 64bit OS would run on a 64bit phone. Will have to wait and see. Perhaps this is why I cannot find a 64gb Nexus 6 anywhere out of contract.

The Note 4 LTE, supporting Cat 6 and Cat 9 LTE is unlikely to leave South Korea. Asus and LG showed worldwide phones with the 810 yesterday.

The first commercially available 64-bit operating system was UNICOS for the Cray 2, before that, CX-OS for the Cray X-MP. I was among the first users - thirty years ago lol. It was Unix-based, like Android, but I think that Android, a real-time Linux, belongs to a much later generation.

I have the Note 4 and iPhone 6+. There is no comparison when it comes to smoothness. The iPhone is like butter, the Note 4 not so much. I love the Note but it can't compete with the iPhone 6+.

I disable every app that I don't use on the Note 4 and it still struggles at times.

What you're dealing with is TouchWiz. Smoothness doesn't seem to be high on Samsung's priority list.

I just sold my Note 4 on Ebay for $610. I included my case, 64GB micro SD and the wireless charging back. For those of you that don't know, that means I paid $700 for my Note 4, $40 for the inductive charging back, $15 for the case and $90 for the SD card. That means I paid $845 for everything and after Ebay fees I'm sure I'll only get about $500 for it. Quite a hit for a phone just more than 30 days old. I just couldn't take it anymore. The laggyness of the phone is unbearable for those of us that are not used to TouchWiz. From what I hear, it's better now than ever before. That speaks volumes to me.

TouchWiz has a knack for filling the container at hand. The bigger the device, the bigger the load.

johnlgalt · Feb 1, 2015

Wait. You mean Moto is not going to rest on its laurels with the phone that has been out now for almost 3 months?

You mean that they are actually developing other phones?

You mean that technology isn't improving at a rate of a better phone every 6 months?

*sigh*

My supervisor has the Motorola droid turbo as does his wife, he was looking at the nexus 6 but Verizon wasn't carrying it. His wifes phone was broken in a fall, his phone kept giving out and Verizon had a twenty hour sale on the droid turbo. Me I am very Happy with my Nexus 6

Motorola may be building a better version of the Nexus 6
