Thing thing has the same DPI as an iPhone 4! The screen is awful, not smooth at all for highly detailed images / video.

in the Article: Verizon Launching 5G on April 11 in Chicago, Minneapolis forum

I don't see how 5G is necessary unless you live in a dense urban centre. I live near a city of about 100,000, and when I run an Ookla speed test on my Moto Z2 Play, I get on average 70 Mbps. The only advantage that a human might notice is reduced ping times, that's it. Data is already so fast in most areas that a human might not even be able to discern the difference ...

Wave hand over display
Jun 11, 2018, 1:18 PM
in the Motorola Moto z3 Play forum

My Moto Z2 play also wakes up when you wave your hand over the display. I think this is standard for all Motorola phones that include gesture support. You can also double-twist the phone to auto open the camera, etc. Also worked on my Moto G4 Plus.

Rechargable?

I see that you stated it can be UP TO one year battery life (Could be a month, could be eleven), however after that year, is the device garbage, or can it be recharged?

Snapdragon 435?
Oct 26, 2017, 1:24 PM
in the LG Q6 forum

I currently have a Moto G4 Plus which has a Snapdragon 617 processor. I'm wondering if anybody knows or can point me to a site that would show some kind of comparison? How would the 435 stack up as compared to the 617? Any help would be appreciated.

Blu sent me the email, they said they apologize for the inconvenience (??) and that the phone does have a 3000 mAh battery, and they will contact Amazon to make the correction. I let them know that I saw this on www.Phonescoop.com, but they did not address that statement.

The Specs for this phone are wrong
Mar 7, 2017, 2:46 PM
in the Motorola Moto G4 forum

I think you mixed up the specs for the Moto G4 and the Moto G4 plus, as the specs that I see you have listed here for the Moto G4 appear to actually be the G4 Plus's specs.

Re: Poor Upgrade
Mar 7, 2017, 12:56 PM
in the Motorola Moto G5 Plus forum

I agree with you, however as mid-range devices get more powerful year over year, with very good pricing (Sub $400.00), upgrade options open up that were not there before. When I think of upgrades I think of the traditional kind, like back in the day when an upgrade meant getting 8 MB of more ram for your 33Mhz 486-SX, which gave that kind of computer HUGE performance and usability increases. If a company is going to design ...

I mean, I agree those are nice changes, but I just don't see a need for them. I've never owned a phone with more than 2GB of RAM, and I've never seen a need for it, all of the phones I've had could run any application I've ever downloaded with no issue with 2GB of RAM. The increased processor speed would be nice, however my older Galaxy S4 and Blackberry Z30 could run any application I've ...

Poor Upgrade
Mar 3, 2017, 7:42 PM
in the Motorola Moto G5 Plus forum

This phone is too similar to the Moto G4 Plus, and is a step down as well as far as screen size goes, from 5.5 inch to 5.2 inch. Processor is a step from the 617 to the 625, however almost everything else about the phone is nearly identical. I have a Moto G4 Plus and it's a great phone, but I would not consider upgrading to this one.

Re: What if my device only has US LTE band 2 4 and 12?

in the Article: T-Mobile Kicks Off Summer with Free LTE In Europe forum

If your phone only has LTE band 2, 4, and 12, then you wont get LTE. However, if it supports WCDMA 900 or 1800, you will most likely get 3G UMTS / HSPA or 4G HSPA+ service where it is available.

This is pretty hilarious. Here in Canada, we have been using chip cards for at least 10 - 12 years, and now, all new debit / credit cards have tap capability up to a $100.00 purchase. It's standard here, all businesses / restaurants accept them, and it's quick and easy. I have personally been using a chip / tap card for at least 10 years and I have never had a fraudulent charge, and I don't ...

The iPhone SE is not a lower end device. The iPhone SE and the iPhone 6S are identical apart from screen size - check the phone comparison tool on this very website to see the truth. Based on what you said, you won't like this phone because it is cut and dry - it is a "small" version of the same line of phones. SE = small screen 6S = Medium screen 6S Plus = Large screen However, based on specs, ...

Article says 4 lines, 10GB per line for $110.00. T-Mobile's current 4 line offer with 10GB is $120.00. That seems like $10.00 savings, not 50%. Wow, nice job with your advertising, Boost.

Re: Canadian phone?

in the BLU Vivo 5 forum

I can see what you mean - This is not a great band set for any carrier in the United States. While the phone would work with T-Mobile and AT&T, it would get very poor service in some areas, and it does not support any low band LTE networks. If this phone was used in Canada, it would get excellent service on Bell / Virgin Mobile, as it nearly supports all of their frequency bands (Except for ...

Based on the frequency bands of this phone, it would work great with Bell or Virgin Mobile in Canada.

Even if you have an "Unlimited" data cell phone plan, cell phone data plans are not meant to be a replacement for a home internet connection, and using your phone like you would your home internet is foolish. What is also foolish is actually expecting a carrier, any carrier, give you fully, truly unlimited high speed data. There are terms and conditions for a reason. All of them have fair use clauses in their terms & ...

Tellico Plains has a population of 894, Reliance of 1034, and Delano of 1561. It would not make business sense to expend the kinds of funds required to provide coverage to such small communities. I could not find a place called "Bear Paw", However, Ocoee, TN, does have T-Mobile coverage. It's only 1900Mhz LTE and 2G, but there is still coverage in that town. Oh, also, I checked Sprint's coverage - they have no coverage in Tellico ...

The EIP (Equipment Installment plan) agreements simply say that if you cancel your service, you owe the remaining amount due on the phone, which makes obvious sense. Also, by virtue of somebody having an EIP, they agreed through email by giving their electronic signature to the agreement. Whenever I agree to a contract or anything like that, I always read all the fine print. All of it. Maybe if these dumb consumers had done that, they ...

My Galaxy S 4, which does not support carrier aggregation, being used on Virgin Mobile (in Canada) can get 70 Megabits per second. In Canada the laws are different, and cellular tower output is lower than in the United States. Sprint tries so hard, but they can never seen to get it right.

I very much disagree that this is a good use for that port. All of the car's systems can be monitored through this port. This means that 3rd party data collection, which is prevalent in our society today, may be happening here. Nobody is to say that it isn't. If you only have one 12-volt port, you can easily get an adaptor that turns one of them into two, I have also seen adaptors that ...

in the Article: ZTE Mobley Hotspot Plugs Into Car Data Port forum

I am very curious as to why any non-diagnostic device would plug into the OBD-II port on any car. It almost seems like there is some kind of data collection going on here that the consumer is not being told about. They could have easily made this device plug into the on-board 12-volt outlets. I would personally never plug anything except a scanner into my car's OBD-II port, that's what it's meant for, and that *should* ...
