And don't get me started on the glass construction. I don't care about SD card and removable memory, but glass back is too slippery and prone to shattering.

I still like the hand feel of the Nexus 6 the most amongst big Android phones.

so pretty much what Youtube should've included from the beginning, they held on to it so that they can sell it for a subscription service. no thanks!

The subscription includes Google Play Music, which is a good service, so I think the price is pretty fair.

It does ? That does make it a lot better

But i wonder, do they let you download single songs or you have to download the full album to the phone ?

I hated that Play Music forced you to download full albums, spotify doesnt do that

Anyway, guys theres a CAF-Qualcomm optimized version of chromium now, its based on build m42 (i believe Chrome its in m46)

but its so fast and smooth compared to the normal version, i have the apk, and i can upload it (Sadly the developer shut down the server for some time because he was getting rekt by so many people trying to download the apk) if anyone wants it or even try it.

So if I want Expandable Storage, is the LG G4 the way to go? Have not been hearing good things about the HTC ONE M9, and those are the two flagship Android phones I'm aware of that that still have Expandable Storage. I would also like to play emulated DS/PSP games on my phone (don't want to bother with my Galaxy S4 yet), so I would like it to still have a bit of power.

Never heard of it, can you give me a site that can compare its stats with other flagship phones?

m.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_x_style-7229.php

(X Style = X Pure outside USA)

Its more of a "cheap flagship", 5.7inch, QHD screen, Snap808, 3Gb ram, Pure android, sd support, 21mp camera without OIS, the only 2 notable omissions are no wireless charging and fingerprint

It also cost $400 dollars for the 16gb, theres also 32 and 64(about $250 less than most flagships) so theres that

"Cheap flagship". Can it handle DS/PSP emulation? Also, it says no removal battery. Are there options other than the LG G4 that still have a removal battery?

Android ? Not many

I say cheap because it cost less and also it has some omisions like the fingerprint and the wireless charging

In terms of power its pretty much top of the line, the Snap808 its only a bit slower than the most powerful chip of qualcomm, the 810.

It does ds/psp without ANY problems, the LG G4 has the same chip by the way (3gb and 808)
What i mean is that the X Pure its just as fast as the G4

I'm looking to buy an android smartphone with the following conditions:

+ 4.7-inch or smaller 720p display
+ Overall phone small enough to be used with one hand
+ Stock android or near stock android (at least no Touchwiz)

Is there a good option aside from the Xperia Z1/Z3/Z5 Compact?

Moto G 2015 might be just a bit big for that I think, so perhaps the 2014 version? Can't quite remember screen sizes.
