My favourite so far is the Xperia Z3 Compact. JUST.... LOVE.... IT :D . Kudos to Sony.

 

Backorder from Sony US = $530

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Nothing AFAIK, it's $300 for the 16GB or $350 for the 64GB, the Nexus 5 is under it's performance and the same price.

Do you own one? I'm pretty close to getting a Z3 compact over a nexus 6.

Dream-phone: USB type-c (3.1), 1440p, 5-inch, removable battery, 32gb RAMdrive, sd card slot, stock Android, transparent atomic purple build, 9050 mah battery, waterproof AF, nuclear powered, ac wifi is fine.
                           OR a one-of-a-kind iphone that runs Android.

much more expensive ($550) running jellybean 4.3 (yikes)

It might have gotten an update, but it will take SO long for color os to get on board with lollipop.

I own a Z1 Compact, and it's awesome. The Z3 Compact makes it even more awesome!

Were you considering the Nexus 6 because of it's price (it's $650 US 32GB Unlocked) ? Or are you not sure you dislike big unmanageable phones?

Cause if you don't like big phones (like me), there's no reason to consider the gigantic Nexus 6.

I have a galaxy S4 and after a year and a half I'm getting the feeling it's too big. 5" is probably my max. I was considering the nexus cause I'm an Android fan, but I suppose the z3 compact will get lollipop at some point. Plus the red one is pretty cool looking.

1 shit for that price + operating system

2 shit for shitty price + specification

3 shit for price + dimensions

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

Do I smell a Motorola fanboy with a HTC one(m7)?

Lol I only have the HTC One (M7) because of the design :P. I gave both of my parents Moto Gs.
