If only the screen wasn't shit and they used a Qualcomm SOC, this would be pretty badass.

this is like a dream come true! 

finally somebody who gets it right! phones don't need 4K screens and 8core processors. 

hopefully this thing will be available in europe too?

I have also been looking for a phone with a massive battery, but this phone has only the battery going for it, rest is shit

+ I don't even want to think about the operating system (skin)...

The problem is at that screen size, a 1080p display is necessary. Any lower and pixelation sets in. They were close, but they get no cigar.

 

As for whether it's coming to Europe or not, it may not. Even if it doesn't though, the cell bands should be compatible with your networks.

MediaTek are making decent chips nowadays

it's 267.02 PPI - I don't believe it's that bad considering the price and battery capacity, it's a tradeoff

Suck it, Droid Turbo.

i have a 5" 720p display, and its really not bad. as long as the panel is good, it will be ok. would 1080p be nicer, yes. for 169? i dont care, give me that

DAT price tag.

Where exactly do you live ??

Considering you're probably tying this on a device with far less DPI than this phone it's just not the case at all. Yes LaWLz will tell you that you can technically (as in if you really concentrate and view it under the right conditios) tell the difference up to 1440p phones and beyond, but this is 150 freaking bucks. If the price of having a ridiculously high DPI is having a crap battery (and you know, an additional 500 to 600 bucks) then I'll take this phone.

 

I must say that this is exactly the kind of phone I would look to replace my current device hopefully they will sell it locally.

[Nowak]

For those of you saying the screen resolution is fine because it saves power: the Droid Turbo has a 1440p screen and a smaller 3900mAh battery (that moment when you can say 3900mAh is "smaller" than another phone's battery) and gets 2 days of battery life. I think it has more to do with how power hungry or efficient the panel is.

 

But don't quote me on that as I may be wrong.

[VerticalDiscussions]

Lol a Zerolemon battery for this one would be 15,000 Mah

Screen looks ok to me 720 is just fine for me on my Moto G.

on monitors a lower ppi is fine because its farther away from your face than a phone

I hold my phone out in my arm, why would you put it up right to your face?

[spartaman64]

[WereCat]

 

This... this is almost my dream phone.. almost.

There are 2 things bad and 1 may be not I dont know.
