Nothing terribly expensive, including the latter. All bought unlocked SIM-free

A good camera on the phone is very important to me so I will be passing with the moto x. Its a shame the camera is so lame, I'm sure they would have much more sales. I will be looking into the note 4 when it releases as the camera is going to be amazing or so they say.
I sincerely beg your pardon. You're obviously my equal in i.d.i.o.c.y.
Yes, I must admit I've been attracted to the iPhones of late as well. I know next to nothing about the differences between iOS and Android, as a relative newcomer to it all. Fewer problems but less flexibility I'd guess.
If you're any kind of a camera nut and care to use WP I can strongly recommend adding the Lumia 1020 to your collection....it's ageing a bit, but incomparable camera.

No replaceable battery, no SD card, no sale.
Lumia 520, £130; Nexus 5, £285; Lumia 1020, £380; G3, £480. All bought high street retailers. Add £10-15 each for cases. Not too bad. About £1325. About $2200.
(Actually, that's bad.)
@ffejjj: I understand the fascination. I used to be like that with classic cameras. Since discovering smartphones and the 1020 in particular, even my Leica M2 sits unused.

I'll take it off your hands if you really want to get rid of it. For free, of course.![]()
It may be great for some people but the two things you mentioned...I just don't get it. Are they competing just against iPhone?
In a vacuum the new Moto X seems like a good phone but when you compare it to other flagships it kinda falls short. Battery life and camera are two of the most important aspects of a smartphone. And no I don't need my phone to take professional looking pictures. But I would like to be able to take pictures indoors without them looking like they were taken with a flip phone from 10 years ago. I will be skeptical about Motos quick charge claim until we see some reviews or real world use. I just don't believe 15 minutes of charging will get you 8 hours of battery life. Just like Moto claimed 24 hours of 'mixed usage" on the 2013 Moto X. We all know that phone did not last close to 24 hours if you actually used it..It's OK for Apple to have a non-removable battery and no SD slot...because they are Apple and they walk on water.
So the complaints are poor battery and poor camera. Does nobody realize or fail to mention that the Motorola phones are equipped with qualcomm quick charge technology? 15 minute charge gives you 8 hours of phone charge. I don't know off the top of my head if any other manufacture offers this yet?
We are spoiled by android phone battery life.... jump over to the Apple farm and where you can enjoy recharging your phone at lunch everyday.
I still am not quite on board with needing my phone shooting professional quality pictures. Sure it would be great but I'm no Ansel Adams and if I was, I wouldn't be using my smartphone for photos. 90% of photos shot on camera phones are of pure crap that twenty years ago we wouldn't have considered wasting the film on. You just have to ask yourself if you need a 20 megapixel photo of your dog snacking on his nuts?

And we still haven't address expandable storage. I'm not sure what Apple has to do with this. I don't have one of their phones either.
