The Lollipop update frenzy is well under way and LG's current flagship - the LG G3 was definitely not left behind with updates rolling out during all of the December, first in South Korea and then in a number of other countries. In the height of all this one question remains unanswered - will last year's LG flagship - the very popular LG G2 receive similar treatment.
A screenshot surfaced today that might shed some light on the matter. It appears to show a F320L version of the LG G2 running an Android 5.0.1 build. Even more encouragingly the UI, visible in the picture seems to bear all the design and visual characteristics of LG's new GUI, which first appeared on the G3. So it seems the year-old smartphone will receive the full update package, complete with the fresher interface.
This is all but justified, given that the LG G2 still packs quite the punch and can easily compete with current devices. Its more-than adequate Snapdragon 800 SoC, 2GB of RAM and 5.2-inch 1080p display are more than worthy to be adorned by Google's latest OS version.
One more important detail needs to be noted about the screenshot, namely that it is obviously taken from a F320L G2 unit, which is the LTE-A model, exclusive to South Korea. This of course comes as no surprise, given LG's track record of beginning update roll-out on the domestic market first. If the rumor is true and the photo real, Lollipop builds for the international LG G2 versions can't be far behind and should grace user's phones pretty soon.

i'm on T-Mobile's network (off contract) and have no intentions of switching carriers as T-Mobile has been cheap and provided excellent service in Philly.
i used to have an Amaze 4G which i sold to get an unlocked AT&T Galaxy Note. now i'm using my brother's G2 (awesome upgrade from the Note huh? )
so i'm wondering what my next phone should be and have narrowed it down to 3 choices.
HTC One S - not sure how to feel about this phone. updated sensation 4G? but great size and feel to the phone. fast fast fast S4 processor. having used the Note, i wish it had higher res and NFC capabilities. the plus here is that my brother is willing to get this phone for me for $200 using his upgrade.
Galaxy Nexus - i've always loved nexus phones. Direct Google updates, tremendous dev support, 720p screen, etc. but outdated internals (compared to what is currently available on the market)
Galaxy SIII - no concrete details yet, but willing to hold out until May 3rd...although i'm itchin to replace the G2
assuming the SIII is not all that it's hyped to be, then One S or Galaxy Nexus?
the One X would be nice, but i want to stay with T-Mobile...unless AT&T's version has hidden support for T-Mobiles AWS frequencies a la Galaxy Note.
One S hands down. The oxidised metal and design is great!

Whats your opinion ?
what should be priority ?
Fixing software related issues stability and pushing out android updates faster ?
Just fixing software related issues ?
Focus releasing new products?
Focus on new features ?
And should more broken product with more software issues and bugs stability issues get priority ?
Or should newest product get priority ?

I was thinking to make this but NO time, you made it, I am going to put a case on you for stealing my idea from my mind.
Personaly think sony should give broken devices priority, and release updates much faster, and max 3 devices a year.
With golden rule that they won't release a new product in a broken state like xperia tablet s or other devices, aka not done untill stable.
With least 3 years off updates big updates included, with another 2 years for small updates to fix issues software bugs.
You can't expect brands honestly to release new product on time every time other brands usualy have problems with that asswell.
But slow updates and fixes are just not acceptabele.
Cheap budget stuff should only get small updates for fixes, only big update if it makes it run smoother and better aka worth it.
Personaly tough i think sony should stop releasing budget stuff just stick to mid range and high end.
High end becomes the new mid range in the next year and in the year after it becomes the new low end.
Anyway i'm just being reasonable now, ofcourse i expect sony to least support their high end devices 5 years.
Samsung already working on android 5.0

4 people thank me for topic but do not share opinion
while 1 guy thought about opening thread and has't shared opinion either.
Anyway its pointless to discuss this here anyway should dicuss this over at sony's forum.
I think Sony should focus on software issue, updates and new features like they have done with Z, water and dust proof. According to me waterproof and dust is more better then various sensors like eye tracking we really don't need then.
Edit - I never thought about opening a thread for this just.that pic

Looking at getting a new phone. Coming from the N4, I am used to stock and enjoy the quick updates. However, the G2 offers a better camera and much more importantly a better battery life. Can anyone speak to their experience with custom roms with G2? I'm under the impression that roms for non-nexus devices tend to be buggier.
Be ready to see this locked
LG G2
I chose the g2 over the nexus for the added screen size' the button placement which i absolutely love, camera, battery life. I could go on. Vanilla android is nice but honestly , the g2 ui is awesome. I absolutely feel no need to flash away to other things.
Just got rid of the N5, do have to say it is awesome. Camera is hit or miss. It'll surprise you but more times then not its pretty dissapointing. Battery life is rather horrendous for the n5 but it s doable,barely! If you like to switch it up and flash alot of roms then get the N5. So far the g2 has been one of if not the best smart phone I've ever owned or had the pleasure of putting my mitts on. As for roms I'm still stock for now but even this way the g2 is blazing through whatever I shoot at it. Benchmarks don't mean **** but it does stroke the ego a tad.

Pa is really stable, and with a good 4.4 rom like this it's basically an n5 with a bigger screen and better battery.
So it's almost n5 vs n5 plus if you ask me.

The latest batch of Nexus smartphones are certainly look quite a bit different to last year’s model. But they’re apparently not unique enough for ZTE, which has accused Huawei of copying the design of its Athena handset when it came up with the Nexus 6P.
Taking to the Chinese social network Weibo, ZTE’s marketing director Lu Qian Hao suggests that the Nexus P6 pays a heavy tribute to the ‘elegant’ and ‘stunning’ ZTE Athena, also known as the Grand S. The message was directed at Huawei’s Yu Chengdong.
I don’t think Google translate is working too well though, as there’s also something about Huawei having a sex change operation thrown in there too? Either way, he doesn’t seem to have taken the 6P’s launch too well.
Comparing the two side by side, there is certainly a similarity between the ZTE Athena and the Nexus 6P when you look at the black bar across the back. Then again, the Athena is a design from back in early 2013 and ZTE hasn’t seemed too bothered about reviving the look for any of its recent models. The Nokia 808 PureView also springs to mind.
Huawei and ZTE have a long running rivalry. The two Chinese companies compete not only in the smartphone market but also in the international telecommunication equipment field too. However, this wouldn’t be the first time that Huawei has been accused of “paying tribute” to other smartphone designs with its products, so perhaps ZTE has a point?
What do you think about the resemblance?

Who cares..
Hmmmm ....... Smart phones look similar ..... Imagine that
That zte also looks like a Motorola atrix HD. At least a little bit. Not sure if that phone came out in 2012 or 2013.

Nice try ZTE!
Those who care please speak up...
*crickets*
Hmm, the major similarity is that big black bar aaaaand that's it. The bar isn't even the same size. That bar also isn't unique to ZTE, as mentioned by others.
As a result, I give exactly 0 flips about this.

In years past Google I/O has often included glimpses of their latest Nexus devices, before they were announced/released. The above image may be just that, for at least one of this year's Nexus phones.
It appears to take similar form to the HTC 10, which makes sense, considering HTC is rumored to be making at least one of this years Nexus phones.
HTC 10:
It look more like Moto G4
It is a motorola moto g4 plus IMHO
It's a Moto G4.
That's a moto g4

Good, 'cause that thing fugly!
Luckily, that's just a G4 Plus.
I'd recognize that ugly as hell sensor id fingerprint anywhere.
No no no no no no. They better not be adding crap to the front of the nexus line phones. I've enjoyed not having any buttons or other controls on the front.

I'm going to be pretty disappointed if the next nexus doesn't have dual front speakers. That's one of the things i've always wanted on a Nexus phone..so when the 6P came out I jumped.
God....what a tease.
