And the award for world's most awkward smartphone introduction goes to...
You?
TechAndTipsGamer No, i was really hoping i would win it but linus beat me fair and square with this video.
vidm96 Better luck next time mate
introduction. ehehehe hehe
Hahaha
I don't care about the phone, I just watch these to see what joke Linus tries to make.
Dont we all? ;-)
Tries to make?? get out pls. Linus is a A grade comedian
nuff said (Y)
so bad...but so good...
He does it on purpose, but really makes you wonder if he really is that awkward. That's either good acting or just being himself...which is still good acting.
His staff is just as awkward so I'm guessing it's more natural though too.
once you start reviewing phones regularly people wont need any other reviewers on youtube :D
you're wrong. We need MKBHD too.
KazeKanajima This guy speaks the truth.
True, linus speaks truth and isn't silenced by a big bribe. Pros and cons, i dont need to know how good the phone is to you, i want to know its specs only. Without added ass kissing.
KazeKanajima Don't forget my man Flossy
Huey Freeman
Yeah man. Flossy is the realest reviewer.
Linus where is the whole room water cooling video I'm not trying to rush you id just like to know when it is coming 😊.
He said on the Afterparty stream after the WAN Show yesterday that he planned to make it before they move out to their new HQ.
Nigel Loke Yue Yang Okay cool I didn't see that so thank you for letting me know.
Nigel Loke Yue Yang But if they are moving, then where is the watercooling room??? Are they going to set it up at their current office then shift it later or........?
It actually depends on Linus, I got nothing to do with whats he gonna do, I only know knowledge of the current project.
Haha. I was wondering if he mentioned it in the after party.
It has been almost six years and I am finally retiring my Droid Turbo today. It got too slow and the battery has aged too much for it to be as reliable as when it was spanking new. An amazing phone that stuck with me for such a long time. Goodnight my friend. *closes box*
RIP
Pretty impressive that it lasted that long tho, out of all the phones I’ve ever owned the Turbo was by far my favorite.
Nice review. Using the Turbo as my daily driver, too.
Heeeyy Austin!
Ewout Buys Yo.
***** will there be a nexus 6 review in the near future?
Ewout Buys 2-3 weeks. Mine just shipped, should arrive on Wednesday.
***** do you really know what he means by daily driver?
Let's be clear about "oww thickness is not as important as battery life therefore Motorola wins"
Motorola DROID Turbo - 11.2mm thick - 3900mAh battery - screen-on time of 10h42m
Xperia Z3 - 7.3mm thick - 3100mAh battery - screen-on time of 09h30m
Yes, the extra 4mm in thickness and 20 gramms in weight are well worth the extra 10% battery life.
to be fair though the xperia z3 has 1080p screen while the droid turbo has quad hd which consumes a lot more battery life
though what i'd want most is a droid turbo with a 1080p screen that would have a ridiculous battery
Rowan wans Yes, it has 800 more mAh so they're probably going torwards powering that screen. Still it's - for me personally - idiotic! Hey, let's make the phone thicker and heavier. Let's put in it a gigantic battery and a super fast brand new SoC... and then neglect those things by installing a ridiculous 1440p screen which is only 5.2" meaning NO ONE would be able to see any difference whatsoever. I love pixels, but sacrificing huge amounts of battery life, thickness and power just for that screen is idiotic.
Mateusz Wojtkiewicz yeah i'd love to have a turbo with a 1080p screen and i have a 4k monitor i'm a pixel lover as well, i also agree with you when you say that 1440p is overkill
I have a 4k TV and a 1080p phone - for most people that's an overkill already. If I start seeing 4k phones I'm just going to explode from rage.
yeah that ppi wouldn't be noticeable past 1080p on a phone
I think phone developers shoukd focus on battery life more than on fancy specs and features. I mean, i know we are surounded by electricity but... Sometimes i wish it could last a week with full use. So i could use it as multitask... uhh... survival device. Like for GPS, flashlight and so on, if i for example need to survive the wild. Oh! And Waterproofness.
if you get a galaxy device, you can get an aftermarket back with an enourmous battery, though it will make the phone big. My s3 has a 7200mah battery and nearly lasts the week with light use and battery saver mode on :D
***** Well that's usefull i guess. But how ever i look at it... well i know i just sound greedy now but... i wish they invented something that really lasted long without charging. And not just phones but cars and such stuff. But i guess that would hurt electricity and fuel industry...
Goran Novakovic I forget where I read it, but there are batteries that were prototyped (i dont think that's spelled right) which were dozens of times more efficient than standard batteries
***** Well yeah, there sure is some better tech already.
Goran Novakovic but it would destroy the stock of some rich government lobbyist, so it probably won't happen for a while
Just get a fucking Sony Z-series phone if you want a phone with two days of battery life or more. My Z2 is capable of that, and the Z3 and Z3 Compact obviously does as well.
As a European I really don't get the "carrier exclusive phone"-idea either. I thought USA was built on a foundation of capitalism and thereby a free market situation?
We basically have region lock but on our phones. It can be removed but it was outlawed early 2013 I think
No, the foundation of the US is the idea of freedom (although currently it's freedom to make other people not do something because it offends a minority). Capitalism is founded on "Give me your money because you want the product that only I have. Don't look at that similar product, buy this one. STOP LOOKING!!"
Exclusivity is an attempt by cellular carriers to encourage people to switch to them in order to get the "cool" phone. AT&T did it with the iPhone, Verizon is doing it with Droid. Not sure if Sprint or T-Mobile are big enough to do exclusives anymore.
They made it so free it caused Monopolies
It's inlawed now.
***** sprint and t-mobile care for the consumer, they aren that big but they offer affordable prices and a wide variety of phones, att and verizon are just big companies that hog up money and want to find a way to get customers into their ridiculous contracts...
I got this phone as soon as I saw it was available. I've already dropped it out of my shirt pocket while jumping out of a truck over the side of the bed and this thing doesn't have a scratch on it. It came out of my pocket from about 5 ft in the air onto concrete.
My previous phone was the Droid Maxx. I've used Motorola exclusively since the early 2000s (StarTac anyone?) I've always like the durability of my Motorola phones. (accept the Droid 2 and 4, the sliding keyboard caused issues after about a year of use)
Great review Linus, I found the motion issue on the camera to be annoying also, but I don't usually take many pictures or videos, so it's not a big deal for me. But I'm eagerly anticipating the Lollipop upgrade.
Watching a video about a DROID Turbo, on A DROID Turbo.
It's been 5 years.
I just found my Droid Turbo in my backpack that was put into storage.
I am in awe that it still works just fine! On top of that the battery still works! Of course I did have to charge it.
Though (as I am typing this comment) I think I broke it. I am trying to factory restore it and it's been "restoring" for the past 3 hours.
420 GPU, for those high gaming sessions
+Chill Channel blaze it!
Not good in 2018 tho
God I miss this phone... It was absolutely screwed by Verizon and Android 5.0 but I have amazing memories of this one
Why do people always want lower brightness levels directly from (android) phone manufacturers? You can just get an app like "Night mode" that solves this problem...
Comment necro here I guess, but that just isn't as good. It's not as convenient because it requires using multiple options to dim your screen, and it's just a dark overlay on top of the screen so it doesn't look quite as clear are a natively dimmed screen would. I've used those apps before when I needed to, but being able to simply use the built in slider to actually dim my screen is far preferable.
Hey Linus, to get rid of Verizon notifications, press and hold on the stupid notification then go to app info and uncheck "show notification"
how is the mineral oil build going Linus?
About availability, there is an international version of the Verzion's Droid Turbo called Moto Maxx that was release on Brazil in 11/05 (without previous announcements). Moto Maxx is the 64GB unlocked and carrier free version of the Droid Turbo and I think it will be available in other countries too (or Motorola loves us and we were just lucky to get this beast here in Brazil).
Btw, great review. Direct to the point and it was good o hear your impressions about the battery and the camera.
LinusKillTheChildrenTips
I just gotta say it.....
That cat photo is AMAZING.... Just beautiful, holy shit..
Yo Linus where dat mineral oil build at?
should've dropped the screen size to 4.7 inches dropped the resolution to 720p which would've got that 2 day battery life maybe even longer and made the screen brighter. Anything above 300ppi doesnt really make a difference unless u plan to use a magnifying glass with ur phone.
Agreed and lol
Bigger screen = more room for battery.
ElitePotato8 yeah but if u make the screen larger at 720p the ppi may dip too low. I believe phone developers should first make the dimensions based on the size of the hand, then make the battery as big as possible then the best camera module possible then the screen. I mean honestly how many people prefer a phone screen over a TV or pc monitor for browsing the web or watching movies.
I still have an old s3 and usually have around 50 - 60 % left after a boring day at school.
I charge my S3 every second night at normal usage. But.. i have a custom rom.
Switched from a Droid Maxx to s4 and first thing I noticed was the shity battery life
I have the S3 LTE and I only have about 2% at 3:30 PM after school...
***** Well Aslong as it can navigate. play spotify and has Bluetooth over the usual calling and texting feutures. im all good.
I'm getting an S3 it's an amazing phone
A few reviews I would love to see in the future: Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the Razer Naga Chroma (which was excluded from you chroma lineup review because of it's later release). SIGNIFICANT changes were made to this mouse. MOST IMPORTANTLY a review on Logitech's newest flagship keyboard, the G910 Orion Spark would be greatly welcomed. I'm a logitech person myself, so I'll be getting it soon, most likely. You make great videos and I enjoy watching and learning from them. KEEP IT UP! (Ps getting the G10 after it comes onto amazon and YOU'RE GONNA GET MY KICKBACK! :D)
I want this phone in my life.
I see that Moto 360 on your wrist, I'm looking forward to more information on it from you guys!
you want bigger battery? Good luck looking cool brah. Waiting for an even THINNER iPhone. Paper thin. I wanna fold it like a tortilla!
Lmao wow you're a huge wanna be 😂😂. And no one looks cool cuz that have a nice phone
James Davern Oh James...if only you didn't lack the capacity to identify the difference between some dummy talkin' shit and some Rythmboy making a good ass joke.
James Davern how is he a wannabe?
I don't get why people even care how thin the phone is anyway they are all just going to slap some stupid case on it anyway and never look at the phone anyhow...
***** Oh Rose...if only you didn't lack the capacity to identify the difference between some dummy talkin' shit and some Rythmboy making a good ass joke.
I've been watching some of your more recent videos (1/2 year later), and its awesome to see you still use this as your daily driver! I love this phone! Its a shame people opt for the more expensive crappier phones :-/
Iphone 12 = Has a 11.7inch display
Perfect review. Could have used less jokes at the beggining. However, I did notice the TARDIS in the background, so you just got yourself a like and a new subscriber.
Windows 8 on this baby and you can play cod or fifa on it at 60 fps
Adreno YoloSwag420NoScope GPU = ez 60fps in CoD.
***** he means full windows 8.
***** sar·casm
ˈsärˌkazəm/
noun
the use of irony to mock or convey contempt.
just an idea, Intel and MS are taking too long to get into the phone market. I can see a deviance like Nexus 7 or 8, running windows 10 with skylake's architecture. Just one mini usb port and one mini hdmi port and you will have the most portable console ever made. Pretty soon all cellphones are going to be as powerful as the next gen consoles.
***** im pretty sure he stated COD as they tend to not have much demand to run
I'm in Canada and I actually bought this phone. Nexus 6 is too big so this was a the perfect buy for me. I'm kinda gonna disagree with the battery part that although 2 days worth of battery is ridiculous. I was still able to make it through a 1.5 days worth of battery with pretty decent usage. I have the Kevlar Black Edition so its lighter than the ballistic nylon one. The weight as he said is actually perfect. You won't need a slim phone and this phone is actually perfect size and weight. It works on most GSM networks in Canada but I'm still gonna check it for Wind if that supports it. There are software bugs here and there but if you really want something like the Nexus 6 specs but don't want a 6 inch in your pocket this is a perfect phone to buy.
into 2018, and I have had this phone for more than 3 years now, and still competitive to new mid tier phones so far.
I had a 2+ year old battery in my S3 that was completely worn. I couldn't get half a day out of it, with minimal use. So i bought a cheap 4800mah battery. Now i can last almost 2 days with heavy usage. It really does wonders. Never have to look at the status of my battery, it´s always 40% or more.
Ah rounded phones, I wish we would see more of that.
I recently went from my iPhone 4S to a Oneplus One, and I'm thankful for the slightly rounded back.
You're one of the few tech RUclipsrs that keeps it interesting Linus! Great work!
I bought this phone about a month ago, I have been trying it's monstrous battery, and he is completely wrong, I tend to get about 2-3 days on one charge with medium to high use. in fact I was able to charge me friend's iPhone 6 twice in one day while sustaining my own phone on one charge. yeah this phone is awsome. motorola's quality makes it my favorite smartphone brand.
Who ever did the editing, you did a awesome job!
I've had my Turbo for a week now. I've repaired nearly every modern day smartphone and I can say hands down that this is the baddest (overall) phone out there. There's only a few phones that really compare to this phone! I came from the Droid Maxx, which honestly I feel had better battery life, due to less screen/ram/cpu, the upgrades vs's the Maxx are well-appreciated and much needed! I'm glad they went "all out." It's virtually an identical phone only upgraded to perfection!
Thanks for the review Linus, I love that you have a review for this! I agree that the camera is disappointing, but impressive with still pictures. I remember when the patch for the Maxx's camera (which did the same thing) was released, it was a welcomed fix to the camera, I predict the same. Can't freaking wait for Lollipop!
Really wishing you would go ahead and review the oneplus one. Much like the droid turbo, it does have a different material back (sandstone). People on the forums usually report 1 1/2 to 2 days of use with the very light users pushing almost 3. I only ask because you guys focus alot on the hardware. I know you don't like the company, but I and many others would greatly appreciate a review. With cm12 coming out soon, it would be great to get your opinion on the device.
So glad you hit home the importance of a large battery. I could care less if my phone is thin! 1080p is also plenty resolution for a 5 to 6 inch phone. Hopefully after the developers are done "showing off" they will settle in to a more reasonable resolution. Quad HD I'm sure is awesome but to me not worth the extra battery drain. Thanks for the review......still don't know what phone I'm getting though lol!
Love your videos, but the childish intro style, not so much. Maybe you could minimize the NCIX "funnyness" a little. Have bin following you for a longe time, and it is nice to follow your way op the ladder. Glad you are expanding, you guys deserve it.
You should do a review of the iPhone 6 plus!
I'm just trying to imagine how much longer the battery life would be if the display wasn't QHD. For me, even a 1080p screen is over the noticeable limit in resolution. If there would be a way for me to change the operating resolution of this screen (which I would imagine would be possible) I probably would do that to save even more battery life. I guess I'll just stick with my tracfone that lasts a good 2 weeks per charge.
Glad this review is finally up. My upgrade passed a couple months an been looking at phones an waiting. This came out an I knew I wanted it but wanted to wait for a review. So thanks for driving the point home getting mine soon.
I love how your shirt explicitly represents Ubisoft Linus. Good job!
I came back to watch this video... not because I really cared about the DROID Turbo, but I just wanted to watch the intro again.
Moto Maxx is available in Brazil and, IIRC, South America. I thank Motorola for begin the first one to really give us importance and remember that we also buy smartphones.
Linus you're wonderful..
Can you please make a video on OnePlus One Review...
You're explaining much smoother and best Reviewer on RUclips..
Best Of Luck. ! !
It may not mean a lot to many people, but the annotation for the shirt was a nice touch. I often wonder where Linus or Luke got their shirt whenever it isn't one for the show and being able to find it easily is awesome. Thanks!
Thank you for the review. Jusy ordered this badboys twin the moto maxx on amazon because i never really got over the fact that this was a verizon exclusive and the price was right. Had to opt for the red kevlar for price reasons but im sire ill be happy.
I think that in enclosed case reviews such as this one it would be a good idea to include how the temperature is affected by having panels closed or opened. This is especially important since there aren't that many people who does it. Because what would the point be to have closed side or top panels, if the graphics card gets too loud because of heat anyway?
I remember having to look long and hard to educate myself about closed cases temps before i bought my obsidian 550d case and would've loved (and still do) to see the temperatures included in the check list from linustechtips on closed cases.
Good video Linus. I've been a Moto fan since the Droid 1 and I'm very excited about this phone. I'm still Grandfathered into the 2000 mins, unlimited data, & unlimited text plan from 7 years ago with Verizon. And, my 12GB Droid Ultra totally sucks because I can't fit all of my music, games and stock trading apps on it. The Turbo's 32 or 64GB internal storage is perfect! So, I'll be upgrading to the Turbo ASAP!!!!
I agree with you on the battery.
Why do OEMs keep on putting small batteries?
That is why I own a OnePlus One and a LG G2.
Both with 3000mAh+ batteries.
So I can go on my day without worrying about battery.
Buying my Turbo in August of 2015, I can unfortunately tell you that the battery no longer lasts a full workday, even with Bluetooth off and using a 750mA charger at night since I bought it. The ballistic nylon has somewhat frayed and my clumsy hands have left a hairline fracture in the back casing between the headphone jack and the case seam. The screen has remained scratch free even if only due to my religious use of a screen protector. Responsiveness has diminished certainly, which is to be expected,a but I've also hit a bizzare bug unique to Turbos on Android Marshmallow where wifi connectivity intermittent and inconsistent, frequently preferring a 4G connection and switching to it without my input. Capacitive buttons are a bitch. There is very few ways to grip the phone that don't trigger them. AMOLED panel looks as good as ever. speaker really sucks.
The Lenovo P780 has 4000mAh battery, so yeah
P2 has 5100!!!
Hey, Xperia Z3 has a two days battery life. But it only works in some circumstances. First, it must be use in just normal usage, such as, just using Facebook, calling, massaging or even just taking photos. Second, no data or GPS is use. Third set the brightness to auto level. And there you will have a two days of battery life. Not to mention in addition facts from me, that's the wallpaper should not be active. Check it again linus to that to xperia z3
i just love how motorola is regaining its power, i remember the good old days of me having a Motorla v3 (was the equivalent of CERN at that time, joking) i mean loot at linus wearing the moto 360 and this beast of a phone
Hey Linus,
I your videos are awesome, I watch them 3-4 hours a day. (Sad I know) I just wanted to pop in and ask if you were planning on doing a review and comparison for this phone and its successor, the Droid Turbo 2.
Linus do you never kill apps? I can use my note 4 for 3 days without charging it, and that's with playing sometimes 4-6 hours of roms. As long as I choose a background that is not covered in white, kill my apps when I'm done using them, and leave location reporting off unless I'm using navigation. I can easily get multi day battery life.
Well, I think Linus is right. Phones dont need to get even thinner and lighter, more powerful but a little thicker wont hurt anybody, and leading the next step forward. Thanks for that one Motorola!
You and Marques Brownlee are the best mobile phone reviewers on RUclips, full stop!! Nice work Linus!
I hate the fact that I cannot "mark all as read" in my gmail. Also, excel still cannot be reduce to a readable and manageable size from a document that originates on a PC. Total buzz kill. The Bluetooth comparability in my 14 ram 1500 is less than usable but that I blame on the truck manufacturer. All the extra apps that come with the phone make it a little overwhelming for a new android user coming back from 4 years with apple. The constant bugging of apps trying to get you to sign on with what they are offering are nothing short of annoying. Overall good phone despite what was pointed out in this video.
As always, another great video Linus. I'll have to share the I7 4770K build that I constructed with your help :)
Awww, went back to this video now and there's the kitchen set
lowest brightness is not an issue with amoled, as using a tool that puts a black layer with a set opacity over your full screen, and because it doesnt use backlight the pixels will actually be darker and it will have the same effect as a lower brightness (though its not possible to install apps while using this because of google's security)
do the blackberry passport!!! High specs and a full KEYBOARD!!!!
What camera was this video shot with? The video quality looks gorgeous.
I love your take on the battery! I'm not sure why manufactures can't figurine that out already? Maybe people just like to show off their phones. I'm rocking a HTC One M7 on t-mobil, and it's battery is pretty good, but nothing like this one! My old Verizon Rezound I updated with a bigger battery and expanded case, not ideal. Much better if the phone is designed with a bigger battery to start with! Thanks for the entertaining but semi-credentialed review!
Hello Moto!
I really like the idea of the ballistic nylon. I'm using an HTC M8 and the only thing I don't like about is how round the edges are and how slippery it is overall. Without a case the M8 is hard to hold onto and really slides around in the car.
Great and realistic phone review. You should do more of them phone reviews LinusTechTips
The Sony Xperia Z3 has a 3100 mAh battery in a thin and arguably difficult-to-hold frame. But Linus would still hate the measures that Sony had to go to to keep it water resistant to such a degree. It also lacks the new Snapdragon 805 processor, using the older 801, but it does still have plenty of speed, given that it isn't trying to push a QHD display, using a standard 1080p IPS model. I'd still like to see his review of it, though.
THL T5000 has a 5000mA battery. I have a friend that uses the phone.... as a phone (rarelly as a smart phone), and it lasts for an entire week!
Love that you're watching Zero Punctuation in the review
hey Linus, i trust your opinion, so would it be possible for you to do a HTC One M8 review?
Did one back when it came out ;)
you did? oh... ok xD brb gonna go watch it! haha
Gamer Extraordinaire at least try to look it up first before asking others. (I'm sounding like a douchebag but I didn't mean it like that. Just constructive criticism. Have an awesome day)
LinusTechTips I bought it per your reccomendation, still serving me excellently today!
Sprits Fal I have, but it's just i have this thing where i have to ask EVERYONE i trust if i'm making the right decision xD but any way i'v made my mind and i'm going to get dat bad ass phone! xD
"To backup my buddies iphone as a powerbank" man just a perfect review and that intro tho!!! :)
#impressed
I actually laughed out loud at that intro multiple times. Bahaha. Good review as always, but that intro was hilarious to me this time. Good stuff, man. Hahaha
Loved the No and Don't be ridiculous parts! hahaha
Good review, but it can definitely go 2days of use other tech reviewers said it can and I have the droid turbo myself, just give it a lighter usage at night.. And its so easy to fix the camera!!! Download Snapcamera go and make it fast picture mode, and go to frame rate and make it 15-30 fps it's wayy better in low light!
To anyone wishing to purchase this phone: There has been a problem with the screen cracking without being dropped or being lightly dropped. Verizon knows about it and will offer a one time warranty replacement if this happens. I still would not recommend purchasing so close to the release since you would be likely to get one that does this. The issue will probably be fixed within the next few production cycles.(The last part is speculation, I can't actually say if it will be fixed or if it isn't already fixed. You've been warned.)
I'm subbing just ordered this phone Thursday got it Monday morning and Best decision switching back to Verizon from Sprint nice reviews Linus
I never have any battery problems with my iPhone 5s! It normaly has around 20% left at 22.30 PM and it just has a 2000mAh battery..
How's the "phone" reception ? The last Motorola I had was a Razr Maxx and it was much better than my SGS4 here in east Ky mountains.
In Brazil is avaible for R$2600 (aprox. USD1000)
These intros are just getting better every day :D
the turbo is my new phone as well, and whats broken me from a IOS trend, i was on IOS for years and was considering a S5 or nexus 6 but was just coming to the idea i was just gonna go ios again but when i was introduced to this phone at the store ready get a ios things suddenly changed, and so far i'm pretty happy, and i can say this review is pretty accurate, tho i'ld say for some people like me who do lighter use i have had some days it seems like getting most of a 2nd day through it maybe possible, the camera is tuff but nice when conquered, screens insane, moto skin is ok, and i found it nice all the verizon stuff on it i didn't want dis-abled easily, i remember my last android i owned had carrier stuff that was simply impossible disable without roming, then with rugged nylon and thicker design this rely is the best, dont have be in panic on every light drop, good control, i like capacitive buttons, and the fact theres no huge verizon logo painted across the entire back is superb :D , all it needs is update and camera and i'd be like 11/10 phone
Samsung Galaxy Note 3/4 are available everywhere, and when coupled with a ZeroLemon 10000mah battery last forever, so I'd recommend one of those.
3:37 Gotta love Zero Punctuation :D
Am I not the only one who thought about these specs when Linus said to think of the most ballinest(?) specs on a smartphone?:
a small i7;
a tiny GTX 980,
32GB of RAM,
and 256GB of those small SSDs used in Intel NUCs, etc..
Build for two days, bigger battery... The bloody Sony Xperia Z series had that a long time ago... My family and I mainly uses Xperia phone and I dont care if they are powering their batteries with unicorn tears it is amazing how much you can get out of a single charge (1.5 days of me playing games and connected to my pebble) and just over 2 days with minimal use)
i have a Moto G with a 2100 mah battery, always leave bluetooth location services and gps completely off, disable background apps i don't need, and use wifi whenever possible and end up with 15% at the end of the day , id really like to see an affordable phone with modest specs but a ridiculously large battery
THL 4000 and THL 4400 are affordable phones with 4000mAh and 4400mAh batteries.
I completely agree with Sarkie. I was about to post this and saw his comment. Cut it out Linus, it's cheap and not necessary. You are about quality and reputation, don't spoil it. Your sponsors will not like it either.
Is there any possibility that you could review the newer moto Z? And is there any way that you might be able to explain the moto mods kit they're selling for the public to develop they're own mods??? I know I'm asking for a lot, but I really do like you input on just about EVERYTHING! 😅
Hi. I have the international version of this fone (Moto Maxx, here in Brazil) and with light to medium usage, screen brightness set to auto, 50% of the time on wifi and the other 50% on 3g network with good signal most of the time I can get about to 48 hours of battery life, just.
When i have the resolution of 1440p.... your eyes sparkle when i use the small screen view
I still use my old,but favourite XT502, and,finally, i can choose reaaly good next model.
Linus, for lower minimum brightness, I use the app Screen Filter. Try it out!
FYI any of the Samsung galaxies with a back cover can use a replacement battery that is great. I have a 7000mah battery for my s3.
So availability in canada won't be a problem then? I think this might actually be worth the switch from iOS, even as familiar as I am with it, this seems like one of the best upgrade options available right now as long as I can get it unlocked in Canada
is it just me or this guy is getting better and funnier every video?
Could you please do a review on one of the "best budget smartphones out there"? I'm talking about the ASUS ZenPhone 5.
