Re: Is the Play / Maxx 2 an upgrade? Which is why I bought the Turbo a few weeks ago. Would have preferred 5" about the size of the 2013 Maxx, but no one is going that way except Sony. Also the 805 is generally faster than the 615, and not a lot of difference vs the 808/810. The 820 will be...

Samsung's pricing is strange to me, they do not look or feel like a premium phone where they compete. I always considered HTC and Sony to be the "Apple" quality hardware build within the Android world. DNA, One M7, M8, Experia Z series, all prime examples of excellent industrial design. I'd...

If you're on Verizon, might want to wait and see what their Droid lineup looks like. I just picked up the 2013 Moto X as I didn't like the large size of the new 2014 Moto X (was using an iPhone 5c, after I lost my 2013 Maxx earlier this year). I prefer the one-handed usability of the 2013...

Just ordered an OG moto x as well, 32GB with ebony wood back. I must've been one of the last buyers off motomaker. Should arrive tomorrow.

I just wonder... So the 2013 Moto X was a 4.7" screen, made to be usable one - handed, and was their flagship for 2013. Maybe the recently released "2014 Moto X" with the 5.2" screen was originally meant to be a successor to the Droid Ultra & Maxx (meaning a 2014 Droid MAXX might be a 2014...

Not thrilled with the new moto X either. Side by side pictures show it is massive compared to the OG X.

I think you're making a bunch of assumptions based on what the flagship Android phones look like. Google keeps track of screen sizes of Android's installed base for developers. You can find that here : Dashboards | Android Developers The ones in the "normal" range are about 3.5" to 4.5"...

There are many references I can point to that show women prefer Apple / iPhones. As far as trusting companies know their markets - If you look at surveys with any sort of a critical eye, you'll quickly find that you can come to any conclusion you like by simply asking different questions, or...

I suspect we'll see the iPhone 4.7 resonate with male users, not female ones. 4.7 is really starting to push the one handed use idea, although the iphone 5+ screen ratio makes it easier. Along those lines. 5.2" is not one handed usable unless you have really large hands. I had a droid MAXX...

The OG X was a high quality, smallish android phone. I viewed it as an Android based phone for people who would otherwise buy an iPhone - many think it looks retarded to walk around with a 5.5" phone (me included) and that such devices are not convenient. I also don't think the iPhone 5.5"...

I agree with the spirit of the OP though not really the "gimmicky" part. The new Moto X looks to me like an up-spec'd DROID MAXX without the battery. The draw of the Moto X (2013) was its ergonomics, build quality, and the Moto features like Active Notification and Voice which provided a high...

I've dropped mine off the nightstand onto a carpeted floor at least half a dozen times, no effect whatsoever. I do have mine in a case with screen protector though. Being dropped is very much luck of the draw, a short drop at just the right angle can do a lot of damage. Conversely a long...

You read my mind, especially the part of having a subforum for accessories on the 'sub-models'. Pretty much all other topics would be the same. ie we all started out with the same camera problem :) I would hate to see someone post to one of the less popular models forums and get no...

I'm just concerned we have forum fragmentation :). Most of the topics are on things that cross between phones. Camera issues, how to use active notifications, etc. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 2

Just thought I'd throw this out there if any admins or mods are listening. I think there needs to be a 'Droid 2013' forum. Since these phones all have the same software and internals now, there really is no functional difference between them. It is just a matter of size, shape, and battery...
