:lawdspoiler (click to show/hide)The One is great, but if you want a phone for its battery, you should look at the Moto X. The 10 MP ClearPixel camera also compares favorably to the One's, although neither is really as good as that crazy Lumia cameraphone or even the iPhone 5.[close]
I love my Lumia 920 :droolMe too. Definitely not the phone for an app junkie though.
The Moto X has zero performance issues. With Motorola’s X8 Mobile Computing System paired up with the dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, it’s clear that the entire system has been fine-tuned to be smooth as butter. It’s a bit of a downer that Motorola didn’t use the quad-core Snapdragon 600 that the rest of the world has taken too this year, but this is where we sit. I think the takeaway here, is that mobile processors are probably not being fully taken advantage of if a dual-core chipset can run this good. In fact, (and not to bring up benchmarks again), if you run any of the GPU tests, you’ll find that the Moto X outperforms its biggest competitors. Part of that has to do with the lower resolution display, but some credit should also be given to Motorola.
Things like accessing Google Now with a swipe up from Home happen instantly, multi-tasking between apps doesn’t hiccup, the camera launches quickly, and the phone never seems to get hot.

I ran through a series of test photos today with the Moto X on a tripod (hope to post them soon), comparing it to shots taken with the Galaxy S4 and HTC One, and it came away as a success. I would say that the Galaxy S4 slightly bests the Moto X in terms of detail and overall image quality in good light, but the Moto X crushed it in low-light performance and was step-for-step with it in other situations. Well, aside from some weird discoloration that showed up every couple of low-light shots (see below). I also found that the Moto X outperformed the HTC One camera in almost every situation, but that could be due to the One’s low-resolution camera.

CG, I don't know what phone you should get. But you should start sending me pictures of everything you make when you get a new one!
If the most important thing is the camera, ...

It's got the apps I need - banking, weather, Twitter, Tunein Radio, Spotify. Everything else is integrated really well (maps are fantastic), the camera is incredible and the screen and build quality are immaculate.
But if you like Instragram and Candy Crush then I can see people being annoyed. It's not for everyone but it's perfect for me
When the fuck is Nokia creating a successor to Lumia 800... every other phone they've done is TOO FUCKING BIG.
I'd like a small phone that isn't a piece of shit. Why is Apple the only one doing this? Not everyone needs their phone to be a mini tablet.
Well, lookie what we've got here - when sized up with current handsets, the Moto X turns out to be with one of the best phone-to-screen-size ratios we've ever seen, upwards of 70% in our quick calculations. Granted, at its thickest it can be considered chubby compared to the Android anorexics, but this is due to the arched shape of the back, which slopes down to the razor thin 5.6 mm at the ends for the thinnest top and bottom edges so far.
In fact, the Moto X is not only shorter and narrower than the 5-inchers - its shrunken bezel makes it with less frontal surface than the fellow 4.7-inchers, like the Nexus 4, or the Ascend P6. In fact it is shorter, and only slightly wider than the 4.3" HTC One mini, which, of course, had to fit those BoomSound speakers somewhere.

EVERYONE SHOULD GET THE LG OPTIMUS G2.
We just got some hands-on with the LG's new flagship, the G2. It's a phone that has everything going for it, except for the using it part.

The software is a nightmare. Especially after using Motorola's super clean, attractive, and intuitive software on the Moto X (which is basically just stock Android), this is like a developer got all hyped up on Jolt Cola and went nuts. It's not unlike Samsung's TouchWiz in that it's extremely busy and packed to the brim with features no one will never use. But it's worse. It's significantly uglier, with icons that look like something off a feature phone from ten years ago. And the useless features are even more useless. Haven't you always wanted to simply knock on your phone like it was a door in order to turn the screen on? No, you bloody well haven't.

NOPE! :P Never owned an Apple product. Just don't see the appeal outside of eye candy.
Well, the iPhone's got more than just looks. Believe it or not, Apple is leading with regards to third-party software support thanks to the App Store's success. It's worth noting that the Google Play store is getting better every day, but most smartphone software comes to iOS first, Android secondspoiler (click to show/hide)and WP8 never :teehee[close]
You have Nokia Here Maps, Drive, Transit and Lens. Full offline navigation.I love my Lumia 920 :droolMe too. Definitely not the phone for an app junkie though.

Can't stand Instagram or Pinterest. Never want a Twitter account. Don't know/care what Candy Crush is. All of the above sound like things my sister like. Not rodi. The other sister. :-\
I find google maps pretty damn useful (only it told me to take a cable car up to Russian Hill once wtf) - does the Lumia use a different app? If so how does it compare?
You are such a goddamn shill, Andy.
Even I don't use Windows Phone
