In my opinion, why not? The phone was a success last year, why not have a successor? If the Photon Q manages to be real, my desired specs are:
4.3" inch HD display
1.2 GHz dual core Tegra 3 processor
Android 4
8MP cam, 4MP front face both with 1080p video capture.
1GB ram. 1GB rom.
The same design as OG, but sleeker with much better battery life.
What would you want it to have?

720p screen res(4.3inch or better)
1080p video
1.5-2gig of ram
removable battery of higher capacity
quad core(preferably Tegra3)
world phone
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER-by far make or break for whether or not i get another Moto with the launch of LTE coming soon for Sprint

This plus ICS. I think 1GB RAM is enough but more couldn't hurt.
I use the us cellular version, the electrify, just a rebadged photon and love it. An electrify II could go slightly larger screen, quad core processor, small bump to 1.5GB or better2gb! Thinner, sleeker body, maybe the same battery as Droid razr maxx... Anytime a more powerful battery could be applied. Who could complain!? And ICS or jellybean installed and no motoblur ui.... Just straight up Android so no rooting would even be required

Same here - next one needs to be unlocked since we cannot trust their sales words. If it's not unlocked OOB, then it stays ITB (In The Box) in the Sprint Store.

Yep
The only good thing I can say about my Photon is it has a good radio. For everything else, it sucks. The screen sensitivity for gaming blows, the phone is laggy as hell.. sometimes Ill push something on the screen and it may take 3-8 seconds to recognize I pushed anything.
Ive tried tuning it with various methods and its de-blurred now which helped A LITTLE. I tried V6 Supercharger, Rom Toolbox, overclocked the processor, etc... it still sucks.
I almost bailed on Sprint and went to Verizon when they were winding down their unlimited data. I wish I had. I stayed for the Epic 4G Touch and what a disappointment that turned out to be.
There's something wrong with your phone. I had a photon that the screen was like that, I had it replaced and the new one is great.

I honestly don't see the big upgrade. The only thing the One S really has on us is size, it's something like 8mm thick instead of the 11 or so on the Amaze; and possibly their new image chip. Other than that, it's just HTC trying to get the super nerds (us) into buying a phone similar to the one we have because it's "new."

Not exactly though, because for people unlike "US" their are people who buy their phone and never glance at XDA or any dev site. So that means they are still stuck with sense 3.0 ect. This phone for the average user gives them sense 4.0 which the amaze isn't supposed to have even if we did get it through the devs. A sharper camera which for me takes the hassle out of pulling at the Fujifilm every time. The size difference. A brighter more vibrant display. I mean for the person who doesn't unlock the bootloader and flash roms, It's an upgrade. Not as much to us but even to us their are some things the amaze don't have meaning upgrade.

Interesting find. Though I am disappointed at how Verizon and HTC are handling the whole incredible series. It has become a budget phone, with the qHD resolution, 1.2 GHz S4 processor and all when other phones are touting HD resolution and 1.5 GHz processors. I hope this is priced at $199 because $299 will be WAY too much for this given that it will be outclassed soon. Well, it at least has the latest processor, albeit underclocked, unlike the dinc2...

Hopefully the price does reflect the lower clock speed and screen size, but I'm hoping that the no-so-large screen and underclocked cpu results in some great battery life

And pushing fewer pixels might even make the phone even more responsive. Who knows. I don't mind the smaller screens and the screen resolution bump is about all that could be expected.
LTE is a deal breaker for me. Phone will be in the same situation as the Rezound and not have AOSP. I'd imagine battery life would be terrible as well, wouldn't be a HTC otherwise.

Hello guys, i want your opinion about this. I have a Photon 4g that i buy from ebay - i am in Europe . The phone its great but i like to trick it with roms and stuff so my greatest concern is that there is not Warranty coverage in EU (i bricked it once so i have to send to some friends in USA - it took 3 months to take it back)
So i was thinking to sell it and put some more money (not very much) and to buy the Razr xt910 (EU warranty, Amoled, ICS ect) .
My problem is that when i go to one store to compare them i saw that the Razr is not better than Photon - but not at all !
So i want your opinion on this issue, what to do ?
Thank you, Johnny !

I don't understand what it is you're seeing about the Razr Developer Edition that isn't better than the Photon. It's everything the Photon is and then some. Better CPU, battery, lighter, thinner, stronger (Kevlar), AND has an unlocked bootloader!
The RAZR is so awful that I bought a Photon to get away from it. Loved the Photon.
RAZR MAXX could be worthwhile for the brute force approach to battery life, otherwise avoid. Screen is hideous, battery on regular flavour is atrociously poor, bootloader is locked down tight and the ICS upgrade is a long time coming. Aside from the gorgeous industrial design, there is nothing to recommend about the RAZR.

You might want to check motodev on that unlocked bootloader. A number of folks there have complained about getting the Dev Edition with locked bootloaders.
So... I have the DNA and im getting the dreaded Sim card error even after the update.... Verizon has offered to replace the phone with any other device besides the GS4, because there is no stock of the Gs4 yet.
What would you choose and why....
Im thinking I just just get the GS3, because its S-OFF and i can run cyanogen Mod 10.1 easily....
But I havent used a motorola in a long time, and Maybe it would be fun to have a Razr HD MAXX, for insane battery life. that could be fun...

IMO going to the S3 would be a step backwards. I would either wait for S4 to come in stock, or get a Note II. Without having S-OFF on my DNA I would much prefer the Note II, and overall actually even with S-OFF I would still probably prefer the Note II.
Any idea how long it takes for warranty replacement stocks to build up? A month? If so, ill just wait and snag the Gs4...
If not, i agree the Note 2 is probably my best bet. A friend had one and I actually kind of enjoyed using it the other day. Its big, yea, and its screen is only 720p... but could i really tell? NO....
I cleaned the contacts on my sim, and reinserted it.. I hope to stay with the DNA, but if this is giving me hell consistently sounds like i should go Note 2.

Once you have tasted the DNA Screen & Speed, you will disappointed with the GS3, I got the GS3 and Yes you will really tell 720p resolution Cartoonist noticeable same goes to the Note II. HTC One or SG4 JB 4.2.2 ROM you will fly with 1.7 - 1.9 GHz Quad Core
honestly, i wouldnt trade this phone for the One or any samsung. i love how thin and sexy this phone is. has more than enough speed. and i love sense 5. stick with the DNA
The S4 is smooth. I've used it. Nature UX, while filled with bloat is more appealing to the eye than Sense.
Both machines will not have a noticeable performance difference. Scores don't mean diddly, reviews don't mean crap either. Drop by a store, spend 30 minutes with one, and see for yourself.
If I HAD to trade and couldn't have a S4, the two ONLY two phones I would get are a Note II and a Nexus 4.
I have used both in person and s 4 was faster imo.

http://bgr.com/2013/07/23/verizon-droid-mini-droid-ultra-droid-maxx-preview/
"The Droid Mini, Droid Ultra and Droid Maxx are each equipped with a 720p display, 1.7GHz dual-core processor with a customized X8 mobile computing system, 2GB of RAM, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera and a 10-megapixel"
Hard to believe, we'll see what happens when the dust settles and official specs are posted.
None what-so-ever.
Little back story. I have owned several Motorola Phones. All with really horrible issues. I feel the Motorola line is just too broken beyond repair.
Motorola V551 - Battery drain with early models of the phone. Myself and both roommates I had at the time had the phone. All with a battery drain issue (the thing wouldnt last 10 hours on standby). After fighting with AT&T and Motorola, (and Moto denying there was an issue), AT&T finally shipped me a new (refurb) phone. Slightly different model version.. that had no standby battery drain on it. Strike 1.
Motorola Q9h - Oh boy. Went through 4 replacements on this, all with the same issue. The thing would just reboot whenever it felt like it. Texting. Web Browsing. Talking on the phone. On Standby. My friend had the Samsung BlackJack II, same OS and same version... his never rebooted once. I got rid of this POS and used an iPhone for awhile. Strike 2.
Motorola Razr Maxx - The phone was fine till it got ICS. Battery life then went to crap. Also went through two phones thanks to a faulty vibration motor in the phone (you would have to smack the back of the phone to get it to work again). - Strike 3... but I loved the battery life (pre ICS). JB updated rendered the phone to junk status (after I had given it to a friend). (Google all the issues they had with the update)
Motorola Razr Maxx HD - Came with ICS. Blazing fast. GREAT battery life. Everything the Razr Maxx should have been! Finally! Jelly Bean was released. LAG LAG LAG. Project Butter my ass. Battery life took a hit. Oh... and vibration started to act up again (similar to the Razr Maxx!). Tap the back of the phone.. would work again for awhile. Had to get a replacement phone. The last update to the phone rendered the phone to junk status. More lag, another battery life hit, oh and heaven forbid you do something while listening to music, because the thing would skip more than a scratched up CD. (Did not matter if it was after a factory reset or not). I was never comfortable with using Safestrap... and even after we got a full bootloader unlock... it was a little too late for me to want to use this phone anymore or put any more effort into trying to fix the damn thing. Strike 4? Over it.
Why did I type all this? IMO, Motorola releases junk phones. Even junkier software. I am hoping to spare some people the pain I (and several other people I know) had to deal with, with their line up of phones.
If you have had a Moto phone in the past and enjoyed it, good for you. All my good experiences with the phone were killed with either faulty hardware or a software update.
Note 3 or nothing
Yeah the only Motorola phone I have ever owned was the Droid 1. Motorola phones aren't really My cup of tea either.

I have to say I'm tempted. But with the Ultra being the same price as an S4, it doesn't even compare to it. Dual-core vs. Quad-core, 720p vs. 1080p. VZW website says records in 1080p, but droidlife website states screen is 720p. Pretty much if it just says HD, it is just 720p. Kind of dissapointed in this. It does say it has quad-core graphics, whatever that means.
My upgrade is Aug. 11. My choice will either be S4 or HTC One, depending on the price of the 32gb One. Knowing VZW, it'll probably be $299 with contract. I wouldn't buy a 16gb version of it, especially not being able add an SD card.

JMO, but no micro sd slot is an absolute fail to me. S4 with micro sd FTW.
This is very unMoto, so Google must have asserted their authoritaaay.
And I'm sure they'll all come with unlocked bootloaders.
Man RAZR HD maxx had SD card and HDMI port :/

If you already have s4 why spend an upgrade to get the One. Lateral move imo.

I'm not really interested in the HTC One because of no expandable memory. I have the 32gb S4 with a 64gb SD. I'm good. I'm saving it for the Note 3.

It has no sd slot either, so seems more a reverse oblique
The only thing I prefer with the HTC One is the build quality and the speakers on the front. That's it.
