Which phone? New to Andriod

Welcome to the forums and Android!

I guess I can't help much - I'm still digging my M8 and wouldn't trade it for anything lol!

But - that's neither here nor there. I wanted to ask which carrier you're on, as some models are available on almost all, and some are carrier specific. That info will help others with their opinions.

 

That's one of the ones I was thinking about when you mentioned the battery.

OK - I can not guarantee this or give a time line (I'll try to check) - but I seem to recall reading this week that may be released outside the US under a different name. They've certainly done that in the past, and with the obvious appeal, I'm fairly sure that I didn't dream that up lol.

Hopefully someone with a link will get here first to clarify...

 

They announced an international version (Motorola Maxx) in Brazil this week. So far availability only announced in a couple of South American countries, but presumably it will become more widely available.

 

Sony Xperia Z3 (or the Compact if you'd prefer a 4.6" display vs 5.2"):

Two days normal use from the 2600mAh battery, even longer with Stamina Mode enabled.
720p IPS display using the same Triluminos/X-Reality tech as their Bravia televisions.
Quad-core Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.5GHz.
