Damn 325 for a repair? Might as well buy a new phone

@ the gimmicks

 

[whyhellothere]

Bros... I'm sick right now.  Just broke the screen on my GS4.

What are my options? I don't think I paid for that fugazzi seeming verizon insurance either.

just curious, did you have a case on it?

 

[whywesteppin]

I paid $180 to get my s3 screen repaired. it's apparently cause the glass is glued to the digitizer or something. I sent it directly to Samsung. local shops were charging even more.

there are ways to do it yourself by slowly melting the glue with a blow dryer or heat gun and peeling the glass off. if you have tools, patience, and skilled hands, it may be worth trying. not 100% sure it'll work for the s4 though. and a lot of people ruined their phone trying it.

I'm losing interest with Samsung with all these gimmicks. I have a s3 and I don't even use all the features that the phone has. Smh.

Not only that the s--- they pulled with the N3 is unacceptable. I might be tripping but whatever dunno if I can roll with them ponies anymore

 

[Teknoman]

Samsung is one of the major phone makers who still has removable batteries.

As long as they Samsung keeps making Google Play Editions I will be happy.

 

[stay lurkin]

Gimmicks are whatever I just want a lagless phone to make it through a day. Seems like the N3 can do that.

Then this happened...

Popped up in the Play store a few hours ago then was pulled down.

In other news, held the Moto X for the first time ever while hitting up the local Best Buy for a microwave; I like it. I like it a lot.

Anyone here own it?

Is it just me or does it feel exactly like the Gnex

I rooted mine within 3 days of owning it. Been rocking stock ever since. Considering actually getting a TouchWiz ROM though to use that Multi-Window feature. How useful do you actually find that to be?

 

[J A M E S]

@ af1 1982 - similar rubbery back, but a slimmer, more compact frame. These thin bezels (the X, and next up, the Nexus 5) are going to be nice...I'm all for the larger screen in a manageable form factor.

I feel you. I feel like theyre starting to take that same general shape. 

 

[bamez]

I can't wait for the smartwatch that uses that flexible screen.  I imagine it as a Nike fuelband but the entire band is a screen.

Hope it's true

$350 for the N5

 

[Fozz]

How is the Nexus 4? The 5 looks definitely promising.

Man I have a Nexus 4 but still I want it. $350 so a $300 version might exist and even still that beats anything out

Great phone

Fast, Takes nice pictures, decent battery, good dev community and Actual OS updates like a phone should get

 

[Gordonson]

The 16GB is $350, which is the cheapest one.

I have a N4, and save for the camera (pictures are washed out and dull, but can work with a little bit of editing), I love it. Awesome phone.

I just bought mine a few months back and I'm thinking, at that price, I may cop the 5 as well. Hopefully, this time they get the optics right.

 

[shimmyhendrix]

Nex5 looks nice!!!!  Clean and simple like the GNex.  If  it had that slight curve like the Gnex tho 

 

[carver]

Slong as it has a 2700mah battery minimum count me in nexus 5.. If not go kick rocks

 

[rillo561]

32GB is probably $399.

 

[phen0m]

Can the N5 be used on Sprint?
