For me the waterproofing is a killer feature that I've been waiting for a while. I use my phone out and about in the west of scotland, which is not the driest place in the world, so having this will be very handy.
- wodenokoto 10y agoThen why didn't you get a Sony Z-series? Water proof, great camera, great battery life, great screen, minimal changes to stock Android.
- jbmorgado 10y agoI had a Sony Z. Resold it because the changes to stock android where not so minimal, its actually got a lot of Sony bloatware in it.
- wang_li 10y ago> I had a Zony Z. I saw one of those at the store, but instead went for the Hamsung Falaxy. Then I went and got a sweet Magentbox TV.
- jbmorgado 10y agoCongratulations, you caught a typo! Please pass by the exit and don't forget to collect your prize.
- mgkimsal 10y agoSo what, the poster mistyped "Sorny"? Big deal....
- 72deluxe 10y agoHaha the Hamsung Falaxy would be a great phone to release, just like the AirPhone you could get the other year from China
- elliotec 10y agoBecause it's not an iPhone!
- c5karl 10y agoOr either of the last two generation Moto G phones, starting at $180.
- PacketPaul 10y ago$180. Wow. That is the price range of just the earphones from Apple.
- raesene9 10y agoyeah the moto G 3rd edition I've got isn't terrible. A bit slow though. That said I'm very much not a fan of Motorola's attitude to security patching http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2016/07/motorola-moto-g-z-monthly-updates/ http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2016/07/motorola-moto-g-z-m... which is one reason for me to want to move off the platform.
- 72deluxe 10y agoWhat are you moving to, out of interest? It seems all the Android manufacturers are rubbish at updates.
- raesene6 10y agowell with this waterproofing probably back to an iPhone :) Security+convenience+waterproofing are the key characteristics for me and the iPhone hits those fairly well (now). I've tried various androids but from what I've seen of their security/update policies the only way to get a good level is either use a nexus device or manage OS patches/upgrades yourself, even there I think that Android is still some way behind iOS on the security front.
- chimtim 10y agoor buy an umbrella
- JetSetWilly 10y agoThey don't work in scotland. Far too windy, when it is raining in the west of scotland it is inevitably also blowing a gale.
- raesene9 10y agolol not very practical out on the hills...
- nicky0 10y agoSounds great.
- raesene9 10y agohad one of those, it broke, had a moto G 3rd gen, but I kind of like my security and outside of Nexus or a load of hassle, I'm not getting that on android.
