What phone is your daily driver?

So, what phone does everyone currently use as their daily driver, or have used as companions to their daily drivers?

 

For me, my initial daily driver was the HTC One (M7) (Linus used to use it) but I got an LG G4 2 days ago and so far, I'm really loving it. I also keep a Galaxy S3 as a development device and as backup, along with my M7.

 

(I also use an LG G3 from time to time but it's my dad's)

 

*BASIC SPECS*

 

2012 Samsung Galaxy S III (GT-i9300) - 1.4GHz quad-core Samsung Exynos 4412 + 1GB of LPDDR2, 16GB of internal storage + 16GB SanDisk Ultra microSD card. Runs CyanogenMod 12.1 based on Stock Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Can you say which anime the wallpapers you have on your phones and where you got them ?

All 3 wallpapers please !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

So, what phone does everyone currently use as their daily driver, or have used as companions to their daily drivers?

 

For me, my initial daily driver was the HTC One (M7) (Linus used to use it) but I got an LG G4 2 days ago and so far, I'm really loving it. I also keep a Galaxy S3 as a development device and as backup, along with my M7.

How's the Battery life with the smartwatch?

2-3 days with a good watchface and the screen always on full brightness and turning it off for 7 hours during the night when i'm asleep. This is why OLED is the bomb.

 

 

Mah niqqah... The Nexus 6 is an amazing phone. I'm loving that build quality. And the G-Watch R is great for it. 

Its great to be able to see notifications and reply to things using a watch while your sitting down so you dont have to straighten your entire body to pull your 6 inch phone out of your pocket.

Moto G 2014

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?
