Why did you chose the 5x over the 6p? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just curious to everyones answer.

Size. That's the only reason for me
edit: another reason is screen type. Prefer LCD

Ditto 6p too big

Same, the 5x's smaller size. 6p specs wrapped in a 5x size would have been great but oh well. Actually, the 5x is still a little bigger than I would have liked but still close enough to the Nexus 5 size.

I think just about everyone is going to say size. A few might say price

Primary reason was size. Then design. I think the 6P is ugly. 3rd reason is I like LG better than Huawei. 4th is price.

Size and only size.

Size mostly. I can't stand walking around with a device the size of a tablet. and of course since it was made by LG.

Size & LCD

I ordered both and will keep the one I like more

Size. Now if it 6P was the size of the Note 5 which has a great screen to body ratios of 76%, I would've considered going with that.

Size. My sweet spot is between 5.2 and 5.5 inches.

Size is the one and only reason. Would have preferred 5 inch or under but don't have much choice.

Size. I have a Samsung s6 active for work and its huge. Im a little bummed the 5x is bigger than the 5. I can't do the 6" behemoths.

Size and Huawei

Nexus 6Phablet... No thanks. I hate Phablets.

size. I like 4.5-5". 5X is closer to that.

I'm pretty sure size and price would be the only two reasons.

Size matters for sure yo!!

Snapdragon 810.
It's also $200 more than the 5x in my country, and the 5x size is already pushing what I'm comfortable with (it's very tall and fairly wide for a 5.2" device).

Considering the current obsession with increasing screen sizes, this hits the nail on the head. The GS3 is already flirting with being too large. Anything bigger is really overkill. I have a tablet for my big screen needs.

Oh, I like GS3's size as well. However, I'm not interested in anything larger. I really hope that the rumor of the Galaxy S4 having a 5 inch display is not true. That would be crossing over into the Note/Note 2 territory, and there's a reason why I didn't get the Note. Of course, this is still pure speculation, and I really don't think that Samsung will release the next Galaxy S phone less than a year after its predecessor.
Size is personal choise. I only have an S3 as a get-by until the Note II is available (sold my Note while it was still worth something). I can't wait for the bigger screen. I understand not everyone wants it too.
I tried playing Asphalt 7 on the GS3 and it was just WAY too small, I could never play a fast paced game on this screen. That said I still love my S3 :good:
Screen sizes are perfect right now. 5 Inch might be a bit over-kill. I love the SGS3's screen size. I think they should work on colors and contrast ratio's, as well as low brightness mode.

Yes! Less size for the galaxies and focus on display quality, build quality and battery life.

No Exynos or Super Amoled for the Galaxy S4

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/02/23...xynos-inside-new-galaxy-s-iv-with-bootscreen/
the bootscreen is fake, and as with leaks specs can faked as well. The GS3 supposedly had a 13MP camera and a 3mp fromt face cam..... but we all know now that isn't the truth

..... just sayin' .....
I think the note2 once the gs4 come available will drop in price and would be a Better buy. My girl friend got the note 2 and I play around with her phone often and it's hard going back to my phone with no s pen and smaller screen I know what I'm getting.

Sammobile usually is spot on with info. Looks interesting to say the least.
Honestly I'm not mad about the gs4 not having an exynos processor. If anyone has looked at the power consumption for the dual core a15 soc in the n10 it's crazy high. So I could see why samsung would have a hard time getting it into a phone without it overheating or draining the battery. But the loss of a samoled screen is a little more I interesting. I don't know how true it is bit it could be a huge blow. And seeing some of the flexible displays were 5 inch 1080p versions I don't think it's far fetched to think they can't make one that can work in the s4
Would be awesome if it has a snapdragon

I'd take any rumor as of now with a grain of salt. I think Samsung's won the heart of many consumers with their Amoled screen. There's not much wrong with the technology, aside from screen burn in. The colors are so much more vibrant on an Amoled screen than any other.
As for the CPU, that's entirely possible since we've already experienced that with our current device. Wonder what's in store for us this time. Hopefully it's another Qualcomm CPU, since it plays nice with CDMA and EvDo.

G-Note 3 possible 6.3" screen

According to a recent engadget article, and new galaxy s4 game pad will support devices up to 6.3"
Makes you wonder.....

5.9 inches is enough!
if the physical size i bigger than the note 2, ill probably buy the S4 or wait for the S5. I love this phone and in no rush to upgrade, but i dont think i can handle it being physically bigger.
The Note 2 is already too big for the average person they are not going to make it any bigger. The game pad is still a prototype and i assume they will modify it to fit 7 inch devices such as the nexus 7 and the smaller Galaxy tabs. Veeeeery unlikley that they would make a bigger Note Phone. Maybe a new galaxy player 6.3 or something
Aww. Don't rain on the parade! Lol. 6.3 sounds great to me!
Think you are right about it being to big for average person. Wonder if that will really impact samsung's decision.

If you are brave enough to have a note you're not an average person . And for me bigger is better they really cant go bigger than 6.3 thats tru tablet territory. And it better not have a stupid home button or even capacitive buttons cuz the note 8 looks dumb with that button

Hand held Gimbal that works for S8+ and GoPro?

Looking for a Hand held Gimbal that I can use both my phone and GoPro on. The cheaper the better but I understand I don't have many options. Any Ideas?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
You might want to explain what a gimbal is or why you need it and in what context you'll be using it. you mention gopro so potentially, it would be in a rugged environment or sports.
Just saying, if you want responses, clarify.
Yep, Also never heard of it...

fancy word for selfie stick
I use a ikan FLY-X3 PLUS, It works great as long as you don't have lots of wind hitting the phone. Its better with my S7 or GoPro.

Gimbals are definitely not just selfie sticks. They're for producing cinematic quality video and are quite effective when used correctly. I've got a DJI Osmo Mobile that i was using with my S7 but I havent had a chance to try out the S8+ on it yet. I'm going to guess that it'll be pushing the limits on the motors for it though.
Anyway... just set it up for the S8+... Looks like it'll work alright but no way your gonna get it to work inside a case and you've basically got to adjust the thing to the limits of the device. I'm sure the weight and size will put stress on the motors and use more battery than normal, but it does work.
Sorry for the sideways pic:

Saw this on YT, nice side-by-side comparison of 2 gimbals, plus he has OIS on and off with each one. That's where I found out what gimbals are (as far as smartphones are concerned).

Zhiyun smooth Q, cheaper than osmo and can function comparable to it.

Sony XZ2 Compact VS LG G7

Hi,
My carrier is Verizon. Between these two phones, which one is to get? thanks
This an Apples v Oranges comparison. Spec wise they're not too far apart, and the OS skins aren't that heavy on either. The camera will be different on both as well.
Ultimately it boils down to size. Do you want a small phone, or a big phone?

I am in dilemma. I like the size of Sony, but I also like the dual cams on LGs.:laugh:
I just got my XZ2C this morning. Coming from a HTC 10, which is smaller than the LG G7, I'm very happy I went the smaller route. I forgot how good it is to be able to use a phone with one hand ... Camera seems good enough for me. I'll buy an actual camera if I need proper shots.

Noice. My upgrade path was exactly the same: from HTC 10 to XZ2 Compact.
And even though the keyboard is smaller, my typing speed has massively increased.
The battery, oh, damn, the battery. I got 11 hours and 16 minutes of screen-on time.
