I think it's one of those phones where I need to see it in front of me first before I can judge it.

Same here, it's definitely one of those phones.

 

[kona786]

The hump is to house the subwoofer, little hole below is the bass port.

First 2.1 setup on a phone.

 

[kona786]

3450mAh battery apparently.

 

[kona786]

WTF! AMOLED?

**** just got real.

 

[kona786]

Except not everyone is an enthusiast. And people like to hand a phone down to someone else.

Hopefully Huawei have a battery swapping service.

 

[kona786]

Yeah because that's such a common occurrence:here

I have no doubt they will have a battery swap service at cost, but its not a huge issue in the grand scheme of things.

Besides, amoled screen burn will sooner set in than battery life degrade to a level that causes concern.

Since when has an enthusiast automatically meant no one to hand a phone down to?

£30 would be reasonable for such a service.

And my S3 is yonks old and still used as my mp3 player. No screen burn in sight. AFAIK battery degradation sets in after, 500 full cycles. So give or take approx 2 years.

 

[kona786]

I have a feeling this will have an LCD, odd that it wan't in the presentation slides.

 

[kona786]

Latest rumour is that the AMOLED screen isn't as efficient as the Galaxy S4's... Could the hype train have been too good to be true?

The comment was posted on reddit based around the screen used on the Mate S.

S4 or S6?

OLED's for other OEM's are always a gen behind Samsung's latest and greatest anyway.


EDIT: Textured power button

 

[kona786]

Would be amazing if true. amoled, decent camera, decent battery and stock android. happy days!

Plus...

Metal uni-body, fingerprint sensor and 128GB (Finally).

If it had the SD820, smaller bezels and 4GB RAM, I would be on cloud 9.

 

[kona786]

I went from a 4.8" S3 to a 6" Nexus 6 and I got used to it within a matter of days. This was 6 months ago and a close mate of mine just did the exact same a month ago. He always thought N6 was way too big, now he's got used to it, it almost feels like a normal sized phone.

You can use it one handed for some tasks like a bit of web browsing, calls, browsing emails etc. But anything that requires typing I always use 2 hands. And you can take a snap with one hand, it's not even difficult. Two hands are better for the added stability as always.

And I don't even notice the phone much in the pocket any more. I can even drive with it in my pocket, no issues.

You need to try it for atleast 2 weeks. The worst is you will lose £50 odd if you want to sell it on.

 

[kona786]

The specs are just so appealing for the N6P that even I'm considering it now and I wasn't even going to because of the size.

Though I gather this is smaller than the N6?

N6P 159.4 x 77.8 x 7.3 mm vs

N6 159.3 x 83 x 10.1 mm

 

[kona786]

Wow sd slot would be awesome!

 

[kona786]

What's the chance of these being available to pre order on Amazon, day one?

Unlikely. You'll probably be lucky to get it on the Play store on day 1

Same exact boat haha!

This looks too appealing :|

+2

If it delivers, then bye bye beloved N6.

id say £449 64GB - £549 128GB

I'd be content with that!

 

[kona786]

5PM AFAIK.

 

[kona786]

No OIS is a bit of a downer if you ask me tbh.

Certainly. It helps most on low light snaps versus video.

Still, I'm waiting for official specs now + prices.

 

[kona786]

Give me OIS over wireless charging anyday.

 

[kona786]

Why not both.

If I had to choose.

 

[kona786]

flagship phones you shouldn't have to choose.

Welcome to the real world.

 

[kona786]

Other flagship have ois and qi charging.

Yes... but they don't have it all.

Do they have OLED? stock android? fast updates? fingerprint sensor? metal unibody? ff stereo speakers?...

There is no perfect phone for love nor money.
