[Leaked] Huawei Nexus 6P Presentation
Hmm. No wireless charging but it has a USB C port. Not sure if I want to upgrade from the Nexus 6. Looks like I'll wait for the reviews since it will probably be like all other nexus phones and extremely hard to get at launch.

Interesting. I wonder what the price will be.

I can't believe it won't have wireless charging!
Does it really have to do with the metal body? Doesn't the s6 have a metal body?
Otherwise, all around solid phone!

S6 is glass on back. That's why it's able to have it.

No wireless charging is not a deal breaker for me, but I'll wait for confirmation in 3 days rather than believe what's being presented in this video.
Sweet! Like the USB C, battery size, etc.
They're the first manufacturer to actually list the SD 810 as the v2.1 version. Seems they're well aware of the issues its been facing

I hope this phone works on verizon
I love wireless charging... Especially in the car it is just so convenient. Count me in as dissapointed...
It appears Huawei has *NO* phones with wireless charging, so it is likely the N6p really won't have it. That's a major deal breaker for me. That's the most important feature in years. I have 5 wireless charging bases, including three in my house plus work and car. If I wanted a phone circa 2012 I'd buy an iPhone. Now, to research other phablets...

Probably because all of their phones have metal casing, can't charge wirelessly through metal.
Is the camera area actually raised, or does it just look that way? It seems like it would make making cases for it difficult. Also, I'm interested to see what the overall dimensions of the phone are. The top and bottom bezels look very large to me. If it's the same size as the current Nexus 6, that's a lot of wasted space. I really couldn't care less about the finger print sensor, or lack of wireless charging.

V2 was the first mass production revision, which was present in both the LG G Flex 2, and HTC One M9
...
Meanwhile there were rumors floating around of a new revision due to show up in the summer, and it appears that this is the rumored revision. This leads me to question whether it made sense to release devices with the v2 revision, especially if future revisions would have resolved some notable issues and dramatically improved SoC performance. I also question whether OEMs would silently introduce these SoCs into later production runs of products that first shipped with v2, which is yet another can of worms.
Putting these questions aside, this new revision brings much-needed improvements to the Snapdragon 810, and should go a long way as a stop-gap until Snapdragon 820 begins shipping. We'll see how the change from v2 to v2.1 affects performance on a higher level in our Xiaomi Mi Note Pro review coming shortly.

so HTC said they are using the v2.1, just like how qualcomm said there's no heat issue with the 810, how credible do you think those words are? by your logic, do you have to know someone with a Z4/Z3+ to know that it overheats?

Nobody claimed that it doesn't overheat!
OnePlus made a big fuss about v2.1 but they underclocked it to remedy the heat issue. Plus it's a thick phone with a plastic back so you don't feel it as much as you would with a metal phone which conducts heat or a thin phone like the Sony!

Overall it looks like a worthy upgrade from an AT&T Captivate if your not bothered about losing a little bit of the great Galaxy S audio quality. If it is available this coming Sunday as the supposed leaks suggest I'll be first in line to buy it!
It's good to see that it keeps the the same size and dimensions as the intl. version but looking at the battery in the review pic it seems as if it contains the same battery + NFC components type battery as its Korean cousin which brings to question is there an official 2000mah battery with the NFC components or another 3rd party larger battery with NFC components available for purchase?

I agree that it's going to be an excellent upgrade from the Captivate...
However, that particular review is of very poor quality. Clearly the reviewer is not on top of the current state of phone development, and further, clearly he/she doesn't understand the inner workings of a modern smartphone.
While it's for the international variant, not the AT&T variant, here is an excellent and VERY in-depth review of the i9100 to keep your beak wet until the AT&T version drops.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4686/samsung-galaxy-s-2-international-review-the-best-redefined
My personal highlights over the Galaxy S1:
- Exynos CPU & Mali GPU Performance
- Bigger and better SuperAMOLED+ screen (w/ RGB and not Pentile sub-pixel layout)
- Slightly better battery life & slightly lighter than the GS1
- NFC in the AT&T/Sprint variants
- HSPA+ support
- 1 GB of RAM (aka, double the Captivate)
- Discreet SirfStar IV GPS chip
- HDMI-Out and MHL support
- 8 MP Camera w/ Flash (apparently takes excellent low-light shots too)
- Front Facing Camera
- 5GHz WiFi support and WiFi Direct support
- Bluetooth HighSpeed
- USB Host Mode support
And as far as I can tell, the only real downside over the GS1 is the lower quality audio codec chip, and possibly some more EM noise on the headphone port. May be a deal-breaker for some, but not for me!
I agree the Anandtech review is the most in depth review I've seen of the international version, I see the ubergizmo review as more of a laymans review and more directly suited for those that may be coming off a Captivate Galaxy S and looking to move up to a Galaxy S II. While I love my still very capable Captivate my battery life is decreasing and limitations are slowly creeping on it so it's time to move on and the Galaxy S II with a nice 2000mah battery swap will keep up with the times and stresses I'll put on it for the next year until I'd get my next upgrade.
My minds been made up since February to get this phone, AT&T just needs to release it already!!! The only thing that will sway me is if the Nexus Prime comes out for purchase on AT&T before the end of October/early November - I'll return the Galaxy S II with the quickness and bite the restocking fee bullet to get the Prime if its anything like the rumors suggest, that's the only other phone I see that's going to rival and one up the Galaxy S 2 series at the moment.
If the Prime turns out not to beat my Galaxy S 2 then the Note it is.

The Note does look very nice...but battery life on a 5" screen is concerning...
IF only the Note would come to the US let alone to AT&T,having had a couple of Samsung feature phones along with the Samsung BlackJack I've come to realize that Samsung always bring their phones late to the party in the US and with less care taken for updates - I remember when it took the Blackjack well over a year to finally release Windows Mobile 6.0 and I had to go to the Samsung Website to get it, by that time I ha been thru several 6.0 leaks on that phone then it was passed down to my spouse and I had already moved on to the HTC Touch Pro. Knock on wood ICS gets to US carriers by Valentines day but I wouldn't be surprised if St. Patrick's day rolls around first. I'd do a backflip if it came before new years but nonetheless I'll end up getting this phone cause it's just that good.

No SAMOLED+ either.
The guy used Neocore to benchmark SGS2 and thinks Tegra 2 is faster. Even if you overclocked MALI 400 to 2,139,098Ghz, it will still be around 60fps. I hope he doesn't benchmark SGS3 with Neocore, it might be same 60fps lock.

No one really knows...
Plus there's the fact that AT&T's LTE network is supposedly (at least according to the CFO) going to be launched the same day the Galaxy S2 was supposed to drop. And I kinda doubt AT&T will launch their fancy new network the same day they are launching a killer phone on their "old" 4G network.
So that means either the Galaxy S2 isn't likely to be launched that day, or it will in fact be an LTE device. There have been lots of rumors about that, but I really doubt it to be the case. More likely, the LTE network will be announced, and the Galaxy S2 will come either later in the week, or perhaps towards the end of the month.
At any rate, much as I'm looking forward to LTE, I think the GS2 w/ HSPA+ will be more than sufficient for the next year or so. I mean, remember all Verizon's early problems with their LTE network? And who knows how many (or how few) cities will even support AT&T's LTE by the end of the year... And then there's the whole will they/won't they with the T-Mobile merger. That's important too, since as I understand it, AT&T is counting on using a fair bit of T-Mobile's spectrum to deploy additional LTE bands, since as it currently stands, I think they have significantly less 700 MHz spectrum as compared to Verizon. On the other hand, it's also probably easier to deploy LTE on top of a GSM/WCDMA network as opposed to Verizon's old CDMA network...

Some background on this video...
How these guys in Vietnam manage to do it is beyond me. Tinhte.vn has done it yet again. They have managed to get hold of the Galaxy S3 and did a short video of it, in HD and posted it on Youtube where it went viral before it was pulled down.
Since then, a number of reposts have been made by other parties which makes taking the video down more difficult if not impossible. Tinhte published the first unboxing of the iPad 3 (or new ipad), it was also the first website to come up with the white iPhone 4 with 64GB.
The video shows a phone that appears to be a variant of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a similar system memory capacity, display size and resolution and OS. The onboard storage stands at 16GB, there's a quad core Samsung Exynos 4412 processor clocked at 1.4GHz, NFC, an eight megapixel camera and a 2050mAh battery.
This matches some sources which said that the Galaxy S3 would be an incremental improvement over the Galaxy S2 rather than a radical change.
The new phone appears to have dropped the slight bulge at the back and opted for a flat smartphone, certainly as a result of the case brought again Samsung by Apple over claims that the S2 was the thinnest phone in the world.

Meh. The video doesn't really reveal anything we didn't already expect. Plus, the phone is disguised in a generic case, so we can't see what the real design is going to look like.
The 2050mah battery is an improvement, but not what we need. We need something similar to the 3300mah battery in the Razr Maxx. Especially if it's not removable.
At this point, the only thing that will make me interested in buying this phone is if it ends up being bezel-less, and that is looking unlikely.
Why is this here?
And if those specs are indeed the real specs, Im glad Im jumping to the One X. The AT&T version will probably put in a Snapdragon processor for LTE (because every new smartphone has to have LTE now) and it wont have NFC due to AT&T pouring money into Isis. Incremental update indeed.

I'm really torn on what to do. I got my GS2 on the 9th so the One X release date is well within my 30 day return window. But to be honest, I'm sick of Sense and really had my heart set on the GS3.
I suppose the financially prudent thing to do is get the One X so it will have the best resale value should I have an incurable boner over the GS3.

Stay thirsty my friends
I say in a year and a half our phones will have 2 to 2.5x the power and capabilities we currently have - but I'm willing to bet batteries won't improve for 3ish years.
These things will be able to replace laptops and desktops through docks or projectors and better use of connected peripherals like virtual keyboards and wireless mice.
I'm betting 3.6-5ghz processors, 100-200gb space, faster/instant networking, full mobile gpu's and hacking will be more prevalent maybe even problematic to society.

I thought that, until I used it for a week. Now the bloatware is coolware in how S pen integrates with the environment so well.
After using a system that has S Pen, I'm not sure I could work without one.
I used a capacitive stylus with my Nexus 10, and seriously there is NO COMPARISON to S Pen. S Pen has the ability to register the pressure and more, so the ability to the graphic artist is a leap over SIMPLE TOUCH.
Yeah, it's that cool, if you'll use the stylus. Even casual note taking is great.
I think this is the reason Microsoft added it to the Surface 2.
Touch alone is sooo 2009/2010.
I would not get a tablet with such a tiny bezel. I love the Nexus 10's bezel. The rounded sides are also quite nice. I think it's highly underrated.

Oh.. I think you'll see TWO new Nexus 10 models.
Nexus 10 from Samsung with existing specifications and 64GB.
Nexus 10 from Samsung with 64GB and unlocked sim LTE.
The 16GB will be retired (just like the Nexus 7 8GB edition was). 32GB will be the new low end.
Just like the Nexus 7 line that had the 32GB and 3G/HSPA+ models silently release, the Nexus 10 updates will also be a silent release (no launch party).
But with the changes, you'll see the pricing drop so that the 64GB is close to the same pricing the 32GB is currently.
Launch party will be Nexus 5 and Kitkat 4.4
I have to give my friends Samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition back this week. Based on the experience, the S Pen truly compels, but I'm going to stick with my N10 for a while longer. July 2014 is when you'll likely see the N10 2014 edition.
I thought Asus was making the new Nexus 10.

Are they? Posted on their website yet?
You are reading media hype until it actually ships.
Lets see the proof:
1. Point of sale system shows "ASUS" made N10. Has anyone entering data for stores/warehouses never made a mistake, not once?
2. Leaked Press "render". If I was part of the press, I could photo-chop all sorts of tablets and say it's a render based on educated guesses. Stretch an ASUS N7 and folks looking at it would say, "hey that looks like ASUS!"
Questions:
A. Where are the parts order news items you normally see with the ramp up of a product? Usually there'll be leaks of the back shell, etc.
B. Samsung wouldn't have this as they are not just a parts assembly company, it's all in house for the most part. ASUS would have LDC panel orders, etc. Yet it's oddly quiet.
C. What was Sundar Pichai saying? Sure the head of Chrome and Android teams could be wrong, or his quote was taken out of context by Amir Efrati.
I just want peoples thoughts on this new handset, do you think it will be as popular as the OnePlus One? And what price and specs do you think it will have?
Wow, its already UP..

The specs are everywhere right?Not the exact, but still almost a crude idea of what we will be getting in OP2 is out there on the net..The biggest leak that has yet come is that its going to come with snapdragon 810 v2.0(well,thats what they are calling it!). Its said its an undrclcked one. Hope it comes out well. And then the latest news is that OP2 will be the first phone to come out with C Port!! More news maybe leaked soon enuf since its about time that OP2 will be launched(almost in august)..
Lets hope for the best !
Any idea when's the release?
My small wishlist includes no capacitive buttons and a larger screen to fill that space, like a Note 4 or Nexus 6. If 1+2 has at least 5.5" and QHD it's coming home with me. Bonus if it's waterproof.

4GB RAM?
I wonder if OP2 will have heating issues with the new 2.1 chipset Snapdragon 810 that is designed to ease the heat issue and improve performance.

Exactly my concern.. I read somewhere that Mi5 will be opting for 811 chip.
the guys in OP2 said they tested and fixed all overheating issues. We just gotta see if it's true what they say
Processor

Snapdragon 808 would be great
yes.. They have told us its a new 810 chipset wch they say doesnt have heating issues. Hope it comes out like that. Also there as another news that it is been underclockd to reduce the heating issue.. Lets see what comes out tomorrow !
Here is my wish list:
1. as little bezel as possible - LG status please
2. front facing speaker(s) - doesn't have to be stereo just facing our ears please
3. massive battery - 3500-3900 depending on the screen type
4. waterproof/resistant
5. fingerprint sensor - put it on the back to keep the bezeless design
6. wireless charging
7. decent price (still lower than competition)
8. good camera
9. and oh yeah A WAY TO ORDER IT WITHOUT HAVING TO WIN THE FREAKING LOTTERY
Would be a dream, 2k res and proc is already a given... but I don't care as much 1080 p is fine with me for battery reasons
USB type C - what difference does this bring to the smartphone compared to the micro USB? (apart from speed)
I understand for a laptop as it can charge it, but with the micro usb, I can already charge my device.

Big advantage faster charge and faster data transfers. Also I like the reversible factor. Read more here http://mobile.extremetech.com/latest/222529-usb-c-vs-usb-3-dot-1-whats-the-difference?origref=

I think the 4GB of RAM is just... Wow. Seems only yesterday they were trumpeting the Nexus 4 with 2GB of RAM
You can never be too trustful of rumors but supposedly it will be marketed at the same cost as the original with the invite only system in place again
Snapdragon 810 v2.1
4GB RAM
OxygenOS (Lollipop 5.1)
Maybe a fingerprint reader but that's quite doubtful
And USB-Type C charging is confirmed
The first phone with USB-Type C
I am also curious about it. But it is really hard to say.
I personally would prefer 4g ram and full hd
like the title says
mostly iPhone user, but love the alpha design and feel.
Was wondering if I should jump shipps
The only downside from my own experience is that the reception is a lot worse than other phones. Mine often gets no signal in places where other phones can still get by with a few bars. After all, it is Samsung's first phone with metal frame.

Thanks for that! That's actually a big deal breaker.
I've never had issues with signal. ialso switched from 5s to alpha. honestly the only downside is the software updates. i still haven't received the lollipop update.
but still an amazing and beautifull phone
Thanks. I thought lollipop has been out for a while now....
s5 sukssss alpha is the king
Care to elaborate?

As far as design and functionality. The Alpha and the 5S is very similar. The alpha has a bigger screen (4.7 inches) and battery (1850 mah) but it "feels" the same as a 5S.
Some could care less about the lollipop update because of some lag issues and battery drainage. So if you have an international version kit kat 4.4.4 will be the latest OS for you until Samsung releases the lollipop update. The att version "may" update automatically upon boot but you can always skip the download part and stick with kit kat until you're ready.
If the alpha is your first Android phone there will be a learning curve going from ios to Android. Specially with the Samsung touchwiz skin. Some playing with the phone should remedy that.
Good luck!!

Thanks for that informative response!
I like small phones, can't understand the monsters which people use these days... Held the alpha was amazed by is portability.
Also, ergonomics is really under-rated these days. Surprised the alpha didn't get more traction.
Moving to galaxy alpha is a good decision.
Compact phone + better performance + better camera (better than iP6)
Regarding the battery.. I already countered it just bought spare battery and spare battery charger from online store.
The good thing about having a spare battery and spare battery charger is avoiding charging thru phone which is resulting to being a wall hugger and limited movements of course you can't just move anywhere while having usb cord connected to ac to your phone.
Charging thru spare battery charger is approximately 2 hours but you can use the battery for 12 hours or more, just plug it and forget it well atleast for 2 hours
Or If you have a power bank just put it in your bag.
According to gsmarena.com the galaxy alpha's battery test
click
52hours, so having 2 batteries then just doble the result
Really good looking phone, extremly economic battery saver electronic, better camera than most of the phones, really fast cpu and gpu.

Thank you all, this has been helpful.
Anyone knows where I can pick one of these (must be the international F model) online for a good price (any condition, any color)?
Thanks!

Amazon has them but still expensive (around $400) you can try
Ebay or even swappa.
Word of warning, if youre planning to use the g850f, it does not support 4g lte on att or t-mobile only 3g or h+ I believe double Check the specs to be sure.

I have both alpha and 5s. 5s still more smooth & responsive than alpha. I dont think there are any android phones that are as responsive as ios devices yet considering the alpha is one of quickest android phone ive tried.

Thanks for that! I can imagine. Honestly, iOS is faultless. I don't think I have ever seen a piece of software so honed together like iOS.
That being said, I am tired of the small display, not willing to shed 500 on the 6, and so the Alpha came to mind.
Yup. I'd still pick the alpha over the 5s anyday. Youll love the versatility of android and possibly also the amoled screen. The screen size of the alpha is perfect. I came from lg g2 and did not like the 5" at all.
On antutu the alpha scores higher(53k) than the 5s(40k). But real world usage iphone still flawless.
For aesthetics i prefer the alpha as well. I think it looks better than the s6.

If you can find the Exynos International Version it is faster with better Audio.
Alpha is excellent, rugged little Phone.
I use 850M International on Metro PCS/ Tmobile and I notice low signal often but call quality and stability is good even with low signal in Stores and even elevators.
Your carrier may differ.
Solid performance on Android 4.4.
You should be able to get new Factory Unlocked at $250 to $300. now.
Make sure the Bands are correct for your Carrier.
