This entire piece sounds overly positive about the thing. We get it, it's a real Linux phone, but the hardware is lackluster for 2013. That shitty screen resolution sounds like the final nail in the coffin for me.
- kayoone 13y agoto be fair its only 399, so they dont seem to target top of the line.
- icelancer 13y agoAnd the Google Nexus 5 is $350, unlocked with no restrictions.
- jstsch 13y agoThese people need to make money selling the actual phone. Comparing Nexus pricing makes no sense (well, it does of course from the consumers perspective...)
- nicholassmith 13y agoI'd avoid using the nexus devices as a base price, google doesn't need to make profit on them so they can run them low.
- acchow 13y agoAnd the Moto G is $180...
- blntechie 13y agoNokia Lumia 520 which has similar resolution (480 x 800) is 79$ and in fact you can get one for 49$ today. Off contract. I know that HN is not fond of WP but just comparing hardware here.
- kayoone 13y agoDespite the resolution being lower, the Lumia also has a much slower CPU, GPU, 5MP vs 8MP camera etc...
- mercurial 13y ago> This entire piece sounds overly positive about the thing. Indeed it is refreshing and is leads the industry forward by leaps and bounds. Clearly an impartial review. On the other hand, I like the Other Half concept, and I'd be interested with a more beefed-up version in a Galaxy Note form factor, with a stylus.
- alextingle 13y agoScreen resolution is literally the last thing I care about. Give me an extra hour of battery life & I'll take a lower rs display. Give me an extra day of battery life & I'm in heaven.
