        Just used google wallet through my LG G2 at Subway. 1+2 can't do that on 2015! NOT HOT! Omission of NFC is a BIG disappointment! Their slogan is 'NEVER SETTLE', '2016 (WTH) Flagship Killer' is a BIG joke without NFC. Midrange Lumia's have NFC! Evene iPhone have NFC!!! Dear 1+, next year please chage your decision or your slogan!

            AnonD-134293, 02 Aug 2015Meh, I'm waiting for Lumia 950/950XL... #SwitchToWindowsphonePLease never ever think about windows phone they suck i have a really serious problem with my windows phone.

            and seriously switching to windows is like it steals freedom from you as u dont have a good AAP STORE.

              On the other hand they took every thing that made other flagships special and put it into a single device.

              I'd rather have 97%of features implemented well and without compromises on quality than 100% but with compromises on quality (both LG and Motorola compromised in terms of performance, battery life and temperatures - just compare the M9 with the G4 and you will get the idea. The G4 just like the X Style is sub flagship level on those 3 factors.). OnePlus on the other hand, take the flagship performance of the M9 and added a great camera, larger screen and battery. So this year will be:
              S6>1+2>M9>X Style>G4
              (remove S6 and M9 if you need 5.5" display)
              or for people who favor a great camera
              S6/G4>1+2>X Style>M9

              Thats my prediction in terms of the Notebookcheck.com reviews.


              Anyways, OnePlus will bing another device out before the end of the year.

                  1. Smasung SA QHD screen used in S6 uses less power than the FHD used in previous iterations.
                  2. OIS and Laser Autofocus are two really different things. While one deal with shaking hand issue during image/video capture, the other is mostly used in low light photography.

                    samsung devloper, 02 Aug 2015Its been a hell of a week for middle segment budget phones ... moreFunny, your name is Samsung developer and you complained that moto gave their device a QHD screen without enough battery to power it. Sounds familiar..........Galaxy.......S6?
                    Yes you have a point on 1 plus but the phone was made for power users, but is restricts your memory expand-ability.
                    Laser auto-focus is useless when combined with OIS, they both do the same thing. so when one fails the other takes over.

                    Just think Moto's continuous auto-focus plus an IR filter, makes for great pictures. Plus its the only 21mp camera at f/2.0.
                    You can praise the fingerprint scanner all you want NFC payment is just a way to get all your payment info in one place, hence easier for people to hack and take all your money.

                    1080p is fine I can deal with that.............hmm guess I have nothing to say.

                    Customization! when you make the effort to create a phone, you like it a whole lot more than the basic version. also Stock android is always better, everything in all other android devices is being used to create the next one. so while you praise your device for its features, It will eventually come to stock. Thats why there's no support for updates with 1+, Its a developers device. i should know I've Stock broken all devices to "Simplify" them.
                    So when you turn a developers device into a mainstream device, it doesn't work out to well.

                        Moto X style: Hot, Gave me everything I wanted, They shrunk the Nexus 6.

                        Moto G : Hot, Still disappointing that they took out the dual speakers, but who would complain when everything else is upgraded. 13/5mp cameras, bigger battery, 4g/lte, and the big 1, 2gb of ram. I think I can live with one speaker when I've customized my phone.

                        One Plus 2 : Not, Seriously I lost interest after i heard everything they don't include. Should be called the -1. Its like they mixed iPhone, Galaxy, and LG and took pieces of what they thought was important.

                                    Why do you highlight key features only for the X Style and make the OnePlus sound unremarkable in your description? What are you trying to achieve?

                                      The description of each phone preemptive to the answers... Could you describe them in a way that is even more biased? I doubt it... You should not highlight features of the Moto X Style if you leave them out in the OnePlus 2 while they are equally well if not better implemented (e.g. Camera). You didn't even quote a single exciting feature of the OnePlus 2.

                                      So this poll is retarded... Sorry GSM arena. I expected better from you.
