OK. I am totally chickening out here.
Lol. I am a big coward. BUT, fellow MXPE user Jfalls63, has reported that a new battery has drastically improved his SoT, as well as holding a charge for over 12 hours. That has really been my ONLY ongoing complaint about the MXPE. (other than occasional software problems , usually caused by automatic updates to Android)
I think I am going to hold on to this baby a while longer, and what's the worst that could happen? A better batch of phones will come out soon anyway, and with my new battery the resale value on my MXPE will still remain relatively good when I go to buy another phone.
And sine I am the buyer I want the specs of my next phone to actually be better, than this one.
A few specs that dropped in quality were
- The camera (MXPE has 21 MP, following models have 12 or 16 at best and sometimes not even that)
- Screen size: MXPE has a 5.7 display. Later models backpedaled to smaller displays
- MXPE moto voice: Customizable voice trigger phrase and commands. Total hands-free operation. Later models , No.
- Sleek premium feel and design, custom colors and name embossing. Later editions don't measure up.
If I didn't know better I'd think that Lenovo was purposely lowering the standards so they could release some junk later on. Later releases are supposed to be an improvement, not a setback. The only improvement I can see, is more RAM, and later versions of android.
Comments welcomed and invited.
Thanks all!
