No Z3 variant?
Poor Sony
usb c and the size deters me from moto x. will probably stick with my gen 2 and wait to see what the nexus and z4 compact bring to the table or wait till htc m10 next year. Phones getting wayyy to big these days grrrrr
That new Moto X is basically the size of a Galaxy Note now.
Why do manufacturers keep thinking we want big phones?
Because some people do. Just not everyone obviously.
And the people who do want bigger phones, make themselves heard more loudly and vote with their wallets. Sadly, the alternatives for compact phones is just a drop in the vast ocean.
Yes, I’m starting to wonder if my 5.1 inch Xperia is all that it’s made out to be. I think if I could have the perfect sized fine, it’d be around the 4.5-4.7 inch mark. The Z3 compact looks pretty perfect, although I fear bad things are headed Sony’s way in terms of business. I’m probably switching brands whenever I decide to upgrade.
Damn, reading that I think I should get a G4 to replace my N5 master race
I was all set for the Moto X, to replace my cracked screen HTC M8 until I saw the Micro USB input at the bottom…
I’m a little sad the Moto X Style does not have OIS, but not a dealbreaker.
