Been using the x 2013 for some time now and its just about perfect. I dont game, my use is heavy on web, text. The problem with my X is that the microphone doesnt seem to work anymore, I have to carry a wired or bluetooth to talk on the phone...which is a pain.
I want something small, similar in size, to replace it. Ive narrowed it down to a Nexus 5 or One Plus X. Which would you guys recommend? Anyone else make a move from the X 2013 to one of these models?
Thanks,
Mario
Oneplus X is great but the customer service, warranty etc is bad. Not sure about nexus 5 but its an old phone as compared to oneplus x. Suggest other comparison like xiao mi note 3.

I have both models. Moto X 2013 and Oneplus X.
OP X is a great phone, but it has some software bugs (I think OP will fix them).
The dimensions and the specs are very good. It's a bit slippery, but you can solve with a cover.
Anyway I prefer the fantastic Moto X
Thanks all, yeah I really like the moto x but I need to be able to make calls without a headset. Anyone else have any thoughts or suggestions?

I am happy with my Oneplus x
If I was you, I would buy the Oneplus x
bought my opx a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier.
but as another user posted above, the device is great but the OS is still a bit buggy and the customer service is not that great.
if you decided to buy opx, welome to the opx research and development team hahah
Hi there,
I've owned the Nexus 5, then the Oneplus One, and now the Oneplus X (mainly because I wanted a smaller premium feeling handset again and my OPO had some drop damages).
Simply put, the Oneplus X is a Nexus 5 on steroids. Expect about 1.5-2x the battery life, a higher quality amoled screen (if you like amoled) and much more premium feel in the hand. I also think the Snapdragon 801 is a sweet spot for cheap-mid rangers. There is basically no lag on Oxygen OS 2.2.0 and with blu spark kernel my phone performs really well.
The Nexus 5 was a great device for its time, but the Oneplus X is better in nearly every way (if ROM support is not that important to you).
Thanks for the feedback!
opx is really good,if they fix the software problems it will easily be top choice
Thanks

I recently bought few phones and don't know which one to keep to replace my old 2013 moto x. I got galaxy alpha, oneplus x, and Z5 compact. To be honest none feel as good ergonomically as the moto x. The oneplus is nice, good screen and speed but a Lil big. The z5c is really nice but darn thing si hard to hold without a case. Just way too slippery. And loli on it not very fast in my opinion. Also gets pretty warm with light surfing. Not terribly hot but the hottest of the bunch. The alpha is good all around. Nice size, weight is awesome... So light! Speed seems good. My first time using Samsung, it's not as terrible as I thought would be. I switched to Nova prime and feels good. No SD card is a bummer but not deal breaker. It's also slippery but best grip of bunch without case. Screen is good but a bit yellow and not as sharp next to oneplus.
What do you all think, which would you keep?
Thanks.

I have an X2 that I have modded who knows how many times. Aside from the annoying locked boot loader I have really liked the X2. However I now have the opportunity to get a Galaxy Nexus for only $50 ($100 - company $50 discount). I only hesitate because I think the X2 is about a big a phone as I want & the Nexus is a bit bigger (length x width). I know its a much better phone, but once i start where will it stop? A 7in. Tab in my pocket & a Bluetooth headset? I'd like to have a phone the same size as an X2 , 4.3" (maybe bigger screen as long as the phone itself isn't bigger(width x height x thickness)with perhaps higher resolution,720x1280?, of course a faster CPU & RAM would be nice too. The 32mb on the Nexus has plenty of space. The rezound was a good size, but too thick. So what do you all think?$50 for a better but not really desired since its a bigger phone or wait untill something the size of the X2 with much better specs & not Motorola comes along?

if you want a good dev community, GET A GNEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the dx2 is good but the gnex is super sweet. the rezound is also a good choice (what i have) one of our devs cracked the RIL so we will have a full AOSP rom soon
Uh yeah.. For $50 I wouldn't be thinking twice about asking. It doesn't sound like you will have to give up the dx2, so you would still be able to go back to it if you wanted to.

I wish they'd make bigger phones again. Make the X2 TWICE the thickness and give me a freakin battery that lasts a couple days, now THAT would be freakin awesome! to actually have a phone with sharp edges you can actually hold on to! I hate how all these phones feel the need to be stupid skinny.
I miss my big-ass analog phone that I could actually hold against my ear with my shoulder, and the ONLY thing it could do was send and receive phone calls... but it did that with MUCH better audio quality... so what if it was eight POUNDS, I could hammer freakin nails in with it and not break it. I thought the gnex was an awesome idea until I felt one in my hand. it just feels like cheap chinese garbage that will slide right out of my dry calloused hands every time I use it.
I want a phone that will break what I throw it at and not the other way around!
I'd def get the GNEX, support for the DX2 is such a small community.
For sure get the nexus! If you don't like it you can always switch back to your old phone with just a transfer of the numbers by your cell provider right? That way you can see which one you like best, play around with both ya know?

Don't have time to Embed, but here's a hands on with the One X+
looking froward to jelly bean for our hox if it runs as smooth as it looks on there
http://www.anandtech.com/show/6348/...official-17-ghz-ap37-tegra-3-64-gb-of-storage
Interestingly X+ and X are both having the same dimensions.
Which get me really wondering if we can use X+ battery instead of ours.
Other things I find interesting is the front camera and glonass support.
Don't know how it would be possible to use the One X+ battery in the One X since the battery is non removable...
The front camera looks more flush with the surface of the phone. Not a bad call, as the recessed front camera on the One X tends to gather dust very easily.
Other than that, not a big fan of the red accents. I like the gun grey color of the One X better than the all-black OX+. Just saying
Featuring a 1.7 GHz quad-core NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 AP37 processor and 64GB of internal storage, the HTC One™ X+ LTE version is up to 67% faster than the HTC One™ X1 LTE, making the HTC One™ X+ the best rated Android phone on the market.
In addition to its increased performance speeds, the HTC One™ X+ introduces extended performance with the inclusion of a 2100 mAh battery, giving you up to 50% (6 hours) more talk time, and longer to browse the web and enjoy your favorite music and videos2.

Why are they comparing it to the One X LTE? I highly doubt if its an LTE compatible phone. Because the original Tegra T30 on the international One X didn't support LTE which is why they switched to Krait for the US model.

Main difference seems to be a 200Mhz bump in clock speeds and better memory bandwidth. Also, the performance figures also seem a bit suspect because the US One X (S4) was faster than the International One X(T30) and based on specs, this (T33) should be marginally faster than the International One X, so no reason why it should be much faster than the One X LTE(S4).
Okay read the anandtech article, its mentioned over there:
The non-LTE One X+ includes the same GSM/EDGE and WCDMA bands as the previous international version (850/900/1900/2100 MHz for WCDMA, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz for GSM/EDGE) and of course the same HSPA+ capabilities since it includes the same Intel XMM6260 baseband. I don't have any word at the moment on what LTE bands will be supported on the One X+ with LTE, but with MDM9215 and possibly WTR1605 we could see more than the One XL. Qualcomm's MSM8960 SoC contains the same IP block that's inside MDM9215 and is still 28nm. It's interesting to see the One X+ using this combination as it may finally put to rest the talk of Tegra 3 being "incompatible" with LTE.

Oh boy, I just found they added an internal amplifier inside X+. Now that's with the glonass support & new battery making it hard for me not to get the new X+.
Regarding the battery, you can always open your phone after the warranty is all over and replace it yourself.

Point taken. I just don't feel brave enough to attempt that kind of surgery.
Bah, I'll console myself with the fact that a lot of the Sense refinements should be coming to the One X anyway. Too bad for the larger battery...
The phone does look very nice! I would love one but it's not a massive change from the one x.

You could always buy the X+ battery* and go to any mobile shop and make them replacing it for a small fee.
*Giving that X+ battery will works with One X.
Hopefully, I get the time to send my phone for warranty as I am suffering from the yellow screen + little problem with GPS. Then, I'll probably will consider replacing my battery.
*Sigh*, I still haven't unlocked my boot loader ,yet.
so i assume the One X roms won't work with the One X+ ?
hopefully it's easy to port them progress espacially for AOSP for the One X+
I dont think that the X+ battery will be available anywhere besides HTC Service as this is not a replaceable battery which you could buy anywhere.
Having this is mind I guess that only HTC Service could do the needed surgery to replace the old battery with the X+ one.
I have seriously doubt that they will accept to do so even if you offer to pay the amount of money needed.
On a side note it makes me wonder why didnt they equiped the HOX with this new battery in the first place???
As I remember they mumbled something like dimensions, the phone beeing thin etc etc but the dimensions of X+ are the same.
I think this is the type of behaviour that is sending people over to Samsung....
Imagine that a medium to low price device Samsung Galaxy ACE 2 will be getting jelly bean and we have to beg for it....
Never mind the battery, what about the rear cover? At least with the one x+ they seem to of given the rear camera lens a bit of protection!
The only thing that's making me jealous is the internal amplifier. With slim bean, my phone flies as it is.
I think this upgrade was necessary, especially since iPhone 5 is available now and people who wanted a 64gig device could not consider HOX as an option. Well now they can. And with this, HTC beats everything else as far as specs go.
I really like that deep black exterior. But that red ring around the camera looks ugly IMO. wonder if this new housing can be fitted on top of our HOXs.
The amp is only for the external speaker, it comes only as black and the camera lens is indeed recessed
new features in Sense 4+
Powersave profile!
and it is really called Sense 4+
we should be getting all the features of Sense 4+ as confirmed by HTC's press release
Ah yes! I've been waiting for this, I hope these Tmobile rumors are true, I would really love to own this phone!

Meaningless comparison/data. Actually using both and buying based on one's particular usage is the only comparison that matters.
Totally different devices and experiences. I don't think anyone should try to compare the two. First choose Android or iOS then decide from there. That said ...

you coudl get a good phone, like the G2
or you could get the iphone, aka baby's first smartphone
I don't know about posting in a G2 forum because the majority of people here are going to say G2.
That being said I have an iPad for Apple stuff and my G2 for everything else. Even though people are a little apprehensive about the LG UI it does grow on you (I was a big Nova launcher user). It really depends on how you use your phone.

But seriously, I entertained the iPhone 5S as well. I don't want a smaller screen, though. And while I'm not addicted to flashing and modding my phone, I would like to have that option. If LG lags with updates, I can just grab a ROM from the community here.
Go get the 4s update to ios7 and save $200 its the same thing. People got to understand its not hard to make a phone benchmark high, its also easy to make an iturd look fast because it does absolutely nothing, all it has to do is render a few small icons on a little dippy ass 4 inch 720p 5 year old retina display! Take an ijunk and put half of the features this phone or the s4 has and it will hardly run!
If you have to ask this question you should probably buy an iphone and be done with it. The advantages of android will probably be lost on you.
Anyone asking that question here should buy an iPhone. Enjoy your purchase

Hi!
I'm really considering to buy Xiaomi Redmi 3. I think it is a really bang for your buck phone. But I use a lot of GPS, so a good GPS receiver is imperative for me. After being let down with my 2 previous phones, I don't want to make the same mistake again. So, I would like to ask anyone that already has got this phone to post a screenshot of the app GPS Test of both indoors (not apartment buildings) and outdoors satellites reception alongside with the regional location where the test was made. That would be great and help a lot to my decision.
Currently, I'm inclined to buy Moto G 3rd Gen, which has great GPS reception both indoors and outdoors. But if Xiaomi came close to it, I would rather prefer it to the motorola because of the larger battery.
Thanks in advance.
What tests specifically do you want done? I just bought this phone and I also use GPS pretty often so I will be checking it out over the next week myself anyway. More than happy to share my findings.

Hi! thanks for your availability.
Please install the app called GPS Test from The play store. The free version is enough. Then, after installation you only have to run it indoors and outdoors and take a screenshot of each one of those situations and share them here. To take a screenshot, you only have to press volume down and power button at the same time.

Hey! You were very helpful. If it can fix indoors, for sure that it has, at least, an above average GPS receiver and would preform very well outside. Thanks a lot.
Sorry for the delayed response. Here's a link to 3 screenshots. The first is in my living room that has no windows, the second is in my kitchen which does have windows and the third is outside. I live in Hebei, China. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I appreciate it.
@HCPA So have you bought the redmi 3. I'm thinking to buy redmi 3 pro. Since, their hardwares are almost identical, can you share your GPS experience with us if you bought one.
Hi! No, I did not buy the Redmi 3, I bought the Motorola G 3rd gen instead. Let me tell you why.
Firstly, what attracted me the most in the redmi 3 was both the large battery and the price, around 160 euros, besides of course the, supposedly good enough gps reception.
But few things led me to change my mind. They were,
1. some people reporting having received faulty versions of the phone. As my bad experience in faulty phones in the past I didn't want to go through all of that again. In addition, Xiaomi doesn't have official support in my country, Portugal, so if I had any problems it would be really inconvenient to deal with that situation. On the contrary, Motorola has technical support in Portugal.
2. Despite the price of Moto G 3rd being around 200 euros, I paid 199,90 euros, the gps reception is if not the best in the smartphone market, certainly one of the best, sure-fire thing the best I have ever had. It always locks under 5 seconds, outdoors and indoors, sunny or cloudy weather. Check the following review http://www.notebookcheck.net/Motorola-Moto-G-3rd-Generation-Smartphone-Review.147931.0.html
3. Despite Moto g 3rd having smaller battery I find it it lasts me around 2 days of usage, which is about the same I was used to with my previous phone and it had a smaller screen. I'm not a heavy user though, if so I reckon it would last a complete day. That is also what many reviews point out about the phone that apart from redmi 3 it has the best battery life for this device range. That being said I'm still happy with my decision because after all the trade off is that the Motorola is water resistant while Redmi 3 is not and for me this is a plus since I often run in rainy days, so I don't have to worry about ruin my phone.
In conclusion, the price difference is well worth it. I have got a phone that feels and works like a premium phone. Motorola was always known for having the best cell radios in the market. Besides all of that I have stock android and I'll have plenty updates to come.
By the way, I got the 2 gig Ram version. 1 gig ram is not worth it anymore in 2016.
I hope I was helpful. Feel free to ask any other stuff about this. I'll be glad to help.

Like my note 7 had so many features , such as place phone face down to silence call. Or keep phone screen on by looking at it etc. This phone just seems really barebones. Even tho it's very snappy. I think when note 8 comes around I'll switch. I wish I could get those aforementioned features

U really had to start a new thread for this? I'm guessing since the Note 7 recall, this was your only choice?

Note 7 is good for a stranded person in the middle of the woods. Bam camp fire!

G5 is also packed with features and you can also silence the call when you place the phone face down ..just sayin...
Note 7 was a great device though..
(Especially during the winter)

I like the Lg G5 massively over the note 7 just for the wide angle camera alone. Keeping the phone screen on while looking at it is possibly the worst gimmick ever.

I wish it did have the screen stay on feature when watching a video on Facebook or whatnot where you gotta move the screen once in a while to stop it from dimming. Yeah the note 7 was a failure and it also was a slow phone (Snapdragon model) but this phone having the same chip runs a lot better. Must be better optimized. The note 7 cam does beat the main cam on this phone tho, it also took HDR pics super fast. Pros and cons to everything.

No, I love the G5
Let's get this clear the G5 has the face down silence option, and if it's packed with features, u just have to look for them in the settings, and beside all that the wide angle lens is the most innovative camera feature ever on a smartphone, what would u do if u had a pixel ?
Coming from Motorola, Lenovo, and Huawei phones, and just looking at stock settings on the G5, I'm pretty impressed by what LG included. Just to be able to change global font and theme without root would've been revolutionary to me not that long ago. Granted, the LG store is relatively young/limited -and I've no idea where it will go- but it's a promising starting point. 360 wideangle live wallpaper with wideangle camera lens to make your own (eventually), drag-and-drop touch button settings, multiwindow, shortcut key commands, as small a detail as battery percentage preference... Many of these things we're used to as root mods, and in that sense they may be boring, but to have them as part of the stock basis makes me look forward to expansions of customization in the not-too-distant future, if not by LG in their store, then by the enthusiasts in this realm. It's encouraging, far from boring!
