    Android™ 5.0 Lollipop - Whats that like? any significant change to kitkat or just a new skin and a new name?

      They basically took Kit Kat (the best version of android to date) made it look prettier (arguably) and made it harder to do all the things that were super easy on Kit Kat. They added many bugs whilst doing this.

    • Gr8deel on 20/02/2015 - 15:01

      lollipop is worth it. I have it and compared to kit kat, battery life is better(project volta) probably get about extra half day out of phone with same usage. The way it handles notifications plus the design is cool. You can add users to your phone (haven't tried that yet) blah blah. Plus it feels faster. I run a nexus 4.

        Android 5 is a new system instead of a update, it bring Android to new level in regard of performance and security.

        On my Nexus 5 battery life is worse with Lollipop

    • WaywardOne on 20/02/2015 - 16:20
      +6

      The main changes for me were:

      • Notifications - they are heaps better in Lollipop. They can be fully read from the lock screen, and pressing on them takes you straight to the source application.
      • Low battery mode (< 15% battery remaining) - Disables a lot of bells and whistles and cranks down the CPU to extend the battery life. Dunno exactly how effective it is, but it's a nice thought
      • scotty on 20/02/2015 - 17:16

        Low battery mode

      Android 5.0 Lollipop

      • ART enabled by default for apps: ahead of time compilation instead of just in time (quicker)
      • Material design: kinda like the iOS 7/8 flat type of look, but it does have shadows and effects
      • Device sharing: was only available on tablets before, now available on phones
      • Battery saving mode
      • Camera app enhancement, Google Now (OK Google) no longer exclusive to certain devices.
      • Some consolidations / simplifications

      While it is good in general, some of the consolidations / simplifications can be frustrating (i.e. putting each tabbed browser session as a separate instance in the task list (by default / changeable), removal of airplane mode and silence mode when holding the power button).

      For me, I like Android because it has more features. I don't think simplifying Android is the way to go (it is playing to Apple's strengths). And the phone dialer and messaging (can't we actually have them so they can be used in the same way as basic phone easily - why do we have to be so heavily integrated to Google Search?)

    • mr_vino89 on 20/02/2015 - 16:18

      i went to jb hifi yesterday to see how big the phone actually was. It is actually quite thin and not much thicker than the iphone 6+. in saying that, still needed a bigger battery.

      • Gavman on 21/02/2015 - 09:09

        It's 30% thicker than the iPhone 6 to put into perspective. That's noticable.

        • ankor on 21/02/2015 - 17:03

          Noticeable, but hardly what you'd call a dealbreaker when there are so many other things that make a difference between the two phablets.

      • Woodyg22 on 21/02/2015 - 12:02

        The curved back is actually really nice and makes it much more comfortable to hold, the thin edges mean the most, rather than the 'thick' middle.

      Samsung does have advantage in CPU right now, because of the 14nm semiconductor device fabrication node, compared to Qualcomm's massive fail with Snapdragon 810. That being said, I've seen some rumours which makes me cringe a lot in several forums I go to like:

      1. battery's going to be less than S5 (In terms of capacity)
      2. rumours about no SD card support
      3. it's going to be non-replacable battery
      4. leaked designs look awful (though there is a high chance that it's not the real one)

      Though, they are rumours, so I am just going to wait til the release.

      • Michael15286 on 21/02/2015 - 00:57

        A smaller battery is not necessarily bad, since it takes less time to fully charge it. And if properly done battery life should be similar.

          Dumbest comment I read so far

        • iridiumstem on 21/02/2015 - 01:10

          If it is bigger, then we can get longer battery life.

          It's just that, according to rumours they made the battery to be not removable and made it smaller as well. It would've been nicer, IMO, if they decided to make the battery life longer, not try to make the phone thinner while keeping the battery life relatively similar. Though this is just my personal opinion based on rumours.

        • hamwhisperer on 21/02/2015 - 09:26

          @AznMitch: Agree, 6.91mm or whatever - I'd gladly take 7.3 or something, big damn deal, you know? :/
          A poor decision, I hope the tech inside it makes it last a while regardless.

          Similar to the PS4, it wouldn't be a noisy piece of crap (which I love/hate) if the idiots made it only 1cm taller and used ALL the gained space on better cooling.

        • iridiumstem on 24/02/2015 - 22:28

          @hamwhisperer: I do agree to some extent. I don't think this "width war" and "bezel war" is going anywhere other than we did it first sort of thing. I personally think both of those actually lead to weaker phones in a way, which some people really would dislike. Then again, it has become that unless you are able to distinguish your product in that way, it's hard to sell. :(

        • slowmo on 25/02/2015 - 05:45

        I know about the battery, don't care if the thing lasts at least a reasonable time. The no SD card support thing, I've never heard once, I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe. I would be 'out' instantly.

          It's just a rumour. There were some that was saying that this applies to only the Edge model that they are going to release, but Edge model is going to have 128GB internal storage, etc. I don't know. I think it's ridiculous too, but that rumour sort of made me cringe and I thought I might share, since it's just a rumour, they are just speculations.

Assuming you're not, Samsung's 'Next galaxy' event is next Sunday followed by Mobile World Congress the rest of the week where HTC will be announcing their next effort along with some surprises undoubtedly from Sony, LG and Moto. Lesser known manufacturers (Lenovo, ASUS, etc) will probably have something to show as well. Definitely worth waiting for before buying your next device.

          I'd disagree with that. I much prefer the S2 and the S4 to the others - aesthetically, at the very least. Software-wise, they were also better. IMO the S3 was the worst of the lot and the S5 wasn't a huge upgrade over the S4, so…

          Though, you only buy nexus because of the software support and XDA (+Bang for the buck decent hardware when it's released which doesn't apply to this one). Hardware wise, Nexus 5 is not current, but according to many people they like Nexus 5 more than some of the current flagships.

        • slowmo on 21/02/2015 - 02:47

          @AznMitch: true that.

        • ProspectiveDarkness on 21/02/2015 - 16:40

          @slowmo:

          Samsung's actually been one of the faster OEM's. At the moment, I think Sony's the worst (they haven't even announced their Lollipop update, let alone begun rolling out). Carriers remain the biggest roadblock to updates… even when they shouldn't have anything to do with it (looking at you Telstra, with my Google-bought Nexus 5 Lollipop update… ugh)

        • zelda707 on 21/02/2015 - 19:48

          Sure, but that's not announcing the actual update, that's just announcing their intention to update.

        • iridiumstem on 21/02/2015 - 20:17

          @ProspectiveDarkness: Yeah, I think Sony and LG is faster with Lollipop, Samsung has been delaying their updates because of the memory leak issues with Lollipop, though I think they have starting rolling out Lollipop in Russia, and Gear VR support for Note 4.

        • ProspectiveDarkness on 21/02/2015 - 20:24

          @AznMitch:

          I don't really know where you're getting that from. Sony hasn't released anything and is expecting a February release (which hasn't materialised yet). Samsung's already begun rolling the update out (since mid-January) to the Galaxy S5 and S4 and maybe the Note Edge.

        • iridiumstem on 21/02/2015 - 20:26

          @ProspectiveDarkness: Huh, I apologise, I thought Sony was fast with Lollipop. Maybe it was during KitKat or something or I've must've gotten it mixed with announcement on which device is going to support Lollipop and the actual release.

  • pull the lever on 20/02/2015 - 16:02

    This phone is worthy still for the upgrades from the mothership.
    Even these newly released phones will have the same issue as the previous flagship phones once the next OS update of Android 'Marsbar' (I made that up) comes out. However, all these 3rd party overlays are beginning to feel more closer to vanilla Android OS so the time for the upgrade availability may shorten.

        • ShamelessBargains on 21/02/2015 - 07:57

          Yeah those OS updates are rather sweet. I think the Nexus 6 is good value for money if you are looking for the latest and greatest from google which is future proofed for a few years. It essentially is a tablet at near 6" so you are getting a phone and tablet for this price. Pity Google didn't make use of this extra screen real estate like Samsung does with dual screen mode and such.

        Really though, at around $900+, it's all about the "experience", and I have to say, for me, the "Apple experience" is just so much slicker than Android or Windows.

        Hell, I am using Yosemite as we speak and is light years ahead of Windows in terms of look and usability. Why? WHY?!?!?! No, seriously, why? It's not like these companies don't have $$$ sitting around. Why can't they make their gear/interface/usability as slick as Apples?

    The details are on a tiny piece of paper in the box, so check carefully before chucking it out.

    I'm so over mobile phones, new releases & "flag ship" models claiming they are the best and then within a year or less, pump out another model without fixing issues from their previous phone or updating the android version in due time.

    I found it crazy that anyone would buy a phone in the mid to upper price range that only has 16Gb or less of memory, no mSD slot or a fixed battery.
    A good example is the Sony Z3 Compact or the earlier Z1 Compact in regards to memory capacity.

    IMO, 32GB should be the bare minimum with lower capacities only in cheaper models.
    In this day and age mobiles should be coming out with 64Gb option as well as 32GB for those who don't use much apps or storage capacity or to give another price point option.

    All I want is something similar to the Sony Z3 Compact (size/waterproof/good camera) with a 32Gb & 64Gb capacity option and a strong call reception ( yes a Sammy Alpha owner :( ), good specs and good battery life and a mSD slot and a great screen and lastly will be around a while, not like the Alpha.
    Is this asking too much?

    The sad thing is I will likely get stuff all for my Alpha when I sell it, if I do so, it's only about 3 months old.
    Even if I sold it with the free watch (Gear LIVE) still sealed I would barely brake even :(

    I guess I will be looking at a ONE+ONE 64GB or a Xiaomi in the near future, yes I know it's a big phone but it gets a lot of positive comments and it sounds like it's great for customization to get the best out of Android if I choose to
    do so and the main thing is it's impressive specs, way ahead of the others brands IMHO.

    Sorry for my long rant.

      Hardly.

      In terms of value, I think you're correct. This is at least 50% extra. & the cyanogen mod 12S behemoth is due for Lpop-5.0 in the next week wooo yes.

        hmm maybe not so great after all. Darn Updates delayed again to April. /

        'been excited for Lollipop since middle_2014. Another year later and more sdks on icecream or Gingerbread (4versions behind: 10% to 3% )-;

      Memory is so cheap yet all the manufacturers think its ok to skimp on it and charge an extortionate premium should you require more, a trend started by apple :/

        @ stemcell
        You hit the nail on the head.

        When I said the O+O had great specs, I meant to say for the it's price at the time & compared to other phones that where around WHEN it came out, and I didn't say it was a "flag ship killer" or the best.

        It is my understanding that the O+O was the first to come out with a 64GB option, I may be wrong about that, if I am then tell me instead of giving me a neg.

        And now apple has a 128GB option (first to do so? & is ahead of the game/others).
        Finally this is a step in the right direction, wake up other brands (Sony/Samsung/HTC/LG, etc.

      Have you looked at the Korean version of the LG G3? Seems to fit your specs. I have the G2 with 32GB but I'm not exactly a power user and have almost no apps.

    Grabbed my N6 off a iPhone buyer for under JB's price which is finally getting closer to realistic.. as really think it should have been priced at $699AUD but it's an awesome device, Lollipop on 805 3b gram stock 5.01 is amazing. Coming from a Z ultra / Note 2 / Galaxy Nexus. Couldn't be bothered with a manufacturer skin anymore such as Touchwiz or Sony.
    While iPhone 6+ and Note4 better cameras and battery life could be better etc it's a dope device.. sure pricing and supply Google stuffed it up again, but would still take this over any other current "flagships" due to there being less compromises (take average action camera & battery life over cheesy O/S, slow/no updates) and prefer google devil i know than sitting on kit kat or gimped lollipop. (or many running lollipop on old devices running previous developer previews complaining about issues… lollipop sings on the N6)

    Expired back to $876

    I +1 the deal because in its own right this deal is a bargain, but as such the phone itself is overpriced from Google's end.

    Battery life is just passable, and for the price it needs to have more redeeming feature than just timely updates.

    Note 4 with removable battery and SD slot would be my pick, or z3c if looking for something usable with 1 hand.
