Re: WC 100K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

5.5", 1080P display, quad core S805 chip, 3GB RAM, Qi, improved 20MP camera, 32GB + microSD, 2800mah, lumia 925 style lightweight. Split screen support. Priced aggressively. Good place to start.

I'll agree with that. My phone is 5.2" which is comfortable for me. I was trying to think more general size to suit most people but 5.5" seems to be popular these days.

I don't get paid enough how to teach Sahib to decipher innuendos correctly...

LOL! Either he's searched and is just playing innocent or he really can't be bothered to figure it out. Being Sahib, I'm going with the later...

It depends on how they do the design. I like how LG kept the G3 smaller and fit a 5.5" screen onboard. Moto has been good over the past two years in making bigger screens in smaller foot prints. On the other hand, the OPO is unapologetically big and some people like that. If they get it to the size of a Z3, for example, and yet be a 5.5", then that's a great start.

So there was a fire earlier on by New York Penn station. Of course they have things situated, bit commuting in is a pain. At least I'm not taking the long island railroad, whose commuters are a affected a bit more than me on this one.

Some people suspect foul play. We'll see what gets out.

We talking about the trials of Windows Phone here I see? Yeah, Microsoft has no flagship of their own in the US available through carriers. As someone said, people get excited over the flagships, and Microsoft needs to wow them and advertise it. One thing, I hope they stick with the unibody polycarbonate design as I think that's on thing that sets Windows Phone apart

But if it makes it heavy or feel cheap it will be a turn off for some people. Lightweight is still in at the moment.

The trials of WP is based on the most recent data concerning it's numbers in the US. They've dropped, unsurprisingly.

Make it at least 3000mAh battery and I'm in. True all day battery life is becoming more and more standard, and one the Icon lacks that I can't stand. Also, 1080p isn't enough to wow anybody (even though they realistically won't know the difference...)

I honestly think the weight of the phone is the very least concerning issue there could be.

You'd be surprised how much people care about weight. When the L920 came out that's all anyone talked about.

Overall design (if it looks pretty) is important and weight. From a specs perspective. Battery life is #1 for most people, second is user experience, this includes apps. Camera sits third.

I have no data to back that up but that's my general feel about things.

The only people I heard talking about it were the tech reviewers. I don't think that's something any real consumer would actually care about. I think design and specs are going to sit right upfront, then UX, battery life, camera

Being the owner of L920 I'm happy it's no longer my daily driver. It was like carrying a brick around. So they were right about the weight. Most L920 users may not complain but when they get a new phone I have little doubt they'd want something lighter.

Overall design is always the most important thing, but since everyone has light phones it will be a consideration when 'trying' them out. Unless you love WP already and don't care it will be a consideration. Where UX and battery life sits is debatable. I'm glad we agree with camera not being first as there are people who seem think it's #1..

For me personally, camera is something that's very high up, but I don't necessarily see it being something people put as a number one priority. However, I think Microsoft could use it as a selling point though, brag about the camera. It could still be a wow factor and a selling point

They can get away with 1080p and a 2800mah if they price it 1+1 style. Plus, the 805 chip can help, especially in a thinner design.

On my priority list:

1) Battery life
2a) Music experience
2b) Storage space
3) Availability of the apps I use (or OS natural ability to offset those apps)
4) Camera

On my preferred list:

1) nice design
2) waterproofing
3) wireless charging
4) quality screen

Android is my daily driver for now because it covers those better than WP. Especially on the priority list.

Didn't mind the brick nature of the 920. What I didn't like was the battery.

So what's new?

 

[sahib lopez]

Re: WC 100K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

What's new ...phone talk . Honestly I think the blend between polycarbonate and aluminum band around the phone is a good start . They could start using the 830 thinness , put the 930 internals ( soc 805 or 810 ) 1080p , 2500maH battery or more , 20mp camera , and to top it.off amoled screen
