AnonD-70078, 15 Dec 2014Ugly comes to mindConsidering my phone is under 5mm of thick rubber for protection, it'll be as ugly as it is now. Only cheaper and better component. win-win

      Yuri84, 15 Dec 2014This is great but I'm afraid it'll become the next "fe... moreGood speaker, good battery (And removable), good camera, sd slot - there is really no flagship that meets these requirements. Not even Galaxy note 4 (Terrible speaker and still not good enough battery), which is ultra expensive. I'd rather spend even more money then i would on Note, but have a phone whith no stupid/pathetic compromises.

        This is great but I'm afraid it'll become the next "feature phone" from Google. You see, there's no reason not to buy a flagship device if you want a good feature or two that are only available in a flagship (like, decent camera, decent music for me, may be good display, good speakers for you).
        Why would you want a flagship? Because modular phone + modules will cost more, will look uglier, will be bigher, heavier, thicker and will feature no warranty. Majority of people will still buy flagship phones, unless Google makes something extraordinary. I hope google makes a miracle.

              Much needed conception, it better succeeds, because all we get is fashionphones and this will be the only alternative for someone who wants a useful, high-quality phone, not "good" looking one with good but meaningless numbers behind it (ppi, ghz).
              I can't wait to actually have a phone with great and removable battery, sd slot and great sound (Phones+speaker). Oh, and with no useless counter-productive bloatware.
              I don't want much, do i? Especially considering the fact that i would pay good money for such phone. Yet, there is currently not one phone meeting these requirements. Manufacturers are totally insane and lacking common sense (And imagination), so the only solution is for we ourselves to become "manufacturers"...kinda
