The relatively new Asus Memopad 7 ME572CL looks like being an interesting alternative/successor to the Z Ultra.

Reviews are pretty promising, it has stereo speakers and Apt-X codec. Pricing looks to be quite reasonable too.

just asked on the memopad forum section if it will work as a phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/memo-pad-7/general/me572cl-phone-t3052049
Looks decent, but too much bezel for me.
I am struggling to see where is it better then XZU. Newer is not always better, and specs in my opinion are worse.
This is a downgrade, namely. You can't use it as phone, the specs are not really better, it lacks some goodies of the Ultra + Software support will be average at best.

yeah, on closer examination... and the Asus Memopad forum said it can send/receive SMS but not function as a phone.
too weak to be a successor. just because it has the same form factor/similar screen size, doesn't mean it can replace the XZU. Not even close.

Hey, I am a total noob at Android, just got myself a Huawei Mate 2, $299, I think this may be a good deal...
After a series of research on google, I did not find any guide on how to root it, as I am very unfamiliar with Android phone (used to be an iPhone user), I am asking this great community for help.

Thanks everyone!!
I really love this phone! But i just hate to see it be dumbed down by the heavily skinned software called amigo 2.0... This phone has got the be the best looking phone out there with 98% being metal and 2% Gorilla glass 3 and at a price point of just $300 unlocked. I really love the performance in games and in multitasking, though i might disable the other 4 CPUs to save some battery other then that this phone really can shine if it ran stock kitkat 4.4. I would really appreciate it if someone out there could make a stock rom for my D970L phone and i would be willing to donate some money in the process to help development. The only thing it doesn't really have is 4g LTE, but it does have HSPA+ which im running on T-mobile network which seems to work just fine for what i do.

I want to start off by saying I truly enjoy trying new phones, customizing them etc. To get straight to the point my daily driver is a Gold LG G3, I put the specs below. I often see new phones like the Honor 8 for example that catch my eye but when I compare them to my current G3 I can't see much difference in them hardware wise and thus I can't make myself buy a device that will bascially do the same thing my current one is doing just fine. So I ask you fellow XDA members, suggest some phones that will blow my G3 away and get me excited to try. Thanks for your help!
