Electronics Time again for a new phone - Page 38

So I'm eligible to upgrade my cell phone again August 1st. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S2 through Sprint and was ready to get the S4. Now I see that LG is set to release their Optimus G2 sometime in August.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/09/lg-optimus-g2-leak/

I've never considered LG, but I'm intrigued by what I've read.

Has anyone else looked at this and is it worth waiting another month or so for the LG?

Also, does anyone in the KC area have any experience with Sprint's LTE 4G? Is coverage still spotty?

At that price I will stick with my Nexus 5. The Lollipop update should come next month.

I guess it's now been confirmed that the Nexus 6 will start at $649 and there wont be a 5.2 inch model, they are just going to continue selling the Nexus 5.

Same here. Bring on Lollipop!

(That sounds so incredibly cheesy).

Since the Nexus 4 is also getting Lollipop, the Nexus 5 should get Marshmallow next year!

Toasted Marshmallow

To no one's surprise, the Kindle Fire Phone has lost an enormous pile of money.

Probably because of that annoying kid in the commercials.

I can't imagine the person who thought that shit up kept their job.

"Got a great idea here! Let's make our first ever phone and compete against Apple, Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, etc... and then lets overprice it and make it exclusive to AT&T. Yes, this will sell millions!!!!!"

This. If it was on Sprint I'd have tried it...

So the wife has terrible eyes and has to wear reading glasses so she's been asking for a giant phone. Once I saw the pricing for the Nexus 6 I decided I'd let her try the OnePlus One and I'd take her Nexus 5.

I have two friends that have the OPO and they love it. We'll see how she does with it. At $350 I'm willing to roll the dice. If she hates it I can throw it on Ebay and get her another Nexus 5.

The Moto Droid Turbo for Verizon is just a badass.

I sent my Moto X back for a refund and I'm hoping what I've read about an AT&T version of the Turbo called the "Moto X Play" is legit. Motorola is doing some kind of unveil on Nov. 5th. If it's the same phone with GSM bands then that's gonna be my next phone.

Anyone heard anything about the S6? I'm going to be looking at a new phone here in the next couple of months (currently have a Note 2) and I'm trying to decide if I should go with the Note 4 or wait until the S6 comes out.

I've only heard rumors that it should come with the 810 processor (64 bit) vs the 805 in the Note 4 (32 bit) and that it might come with some kind of retina scanner.

I'd hold out for the S6 if you held on to your phones for a good bit because of the 64 bit processor, otherwise I'd just get the N4. The S6 is still a good 6 months away from release.

The only problem I'm having right now is my Note 2 keeps turning off and on on its own. It happens 2-3 times a day now.

The way I've always felt about tech is that you should just get the best you can in the moment you are looking. If you continue to wait then you'll never buy because tech is outdated the instant after it's released.
