Really? My opinion that, to me, a better camera is more important than having stock android? That qualifies you to call another human a bigot?

Huh.

Lot of bigots around here then.

Oh well, I guess you win! Have a great weekend!

Man these comments are getting weird & creepy. I have to admit though, it’s the first time I’ve ever been accused of bigotry. Who knew it would be over a smartphone camera.

lol. I replied to a comment about if I’d chose a camera over stock. You replied to my post. I’m replying now! It’s the circle of life! Yay innernets!

Oh, and you can quote me how you like, but the crappy camera I left behind was not the Nexus 4, I only said “my last device”.

There’s no anger here, my dear, just putting my 2 cents in and (today) trying to figure your replies out. In the end, the N4, S3, iP5, H1, etc, etc, etc, are light years where we just a few years ago. So all and all, life is pretty good, eh?

I’m a huger photo geek and have been shooting for over 20 years and my wiener is bigger than yours. Do I win now? Honestly, how long you’ve held your dick camera in your hand is not relevant to the conversation.

Onward to your reply!

Re-read my post, my friend. When given the option, I would rather have a better camera (& LTE) on a non-stock device than a sub-par camera just to have stock. In the great balance scale of tech life, camera quality is great than stock. To me. And your own reply confirms “Nexus 4 camera is supbar to other flagships”, I’d add it’s subpar to last gen flagships. You see?

That was the question and that’s what I answered. And here’s the best part. We have that option.

I didn’t “bash” the camera in the Nexus 4, sorry, I’m just not emotionally attached to other people’s device cameras, I just rather have a better camera in my back pocket. No need to get so sensitive over your device choice.

Is it “impossible” to take a decent photo on the Nexus 4? Of course not. I shoot with a lot worse tech all the time (I dig lo-fi cameras, especially film), but again, just to emphasize, I, personally, me, Aaron, would rather have a better camera on me at all times and sacrifice “the stock android experience”.

We cool?

If the best camera is the one you have with you and I always have my smartphone camera with me, I want it to have a good camera. Sorry. Would I take stock over a skin if the two options were presented on the same phone? Sure, but losing, not only a good camera but also LTE is just too much. I left that slower data & crappy camera behind with my last device. Not going back, my dear. Hell, I’d go with iOS before I’d go back.

Also. I’d like to “hangout” with people who don’t have Hangouts. Not everyone had or can afford a smarthphone. To “text” them from any and all my devices would be nice from my end and the ability to contact them would be sweet. All via one little app.

It would be nice.

SIDE NOTE: My “circles” are a mess. Need to clean this shit up before people I have no desire to hangout with try to hangout with me! lol

SMS because not everyone’s got or can afford a smartphone and a data plan.

Definitely going to give it a go. Wife & I are on iOS & Android, respectively and text each other all the time. Looking forward to giving this a go and seeing if this can become it’s replacement and the idea of switching to video when need be.

But man. I do wish it had the “default-to-SMS” feature for convos on unsupported devices. Oh well! VIVA LA FUTURE!

Maybe I should’ve been more clear, but I really didn’t want to come off like a comment troll or trying to get people agitated. Genuinely would like to see a bit more diversity, really in tech as a whole.

That last one…. The S2, right? Looks like that’s where the blatant copying (well, except the marketing of course, but everyone knocks off successful marketing) started to diminish. Emphasis on the word blatant.

Hey Thomas! Love the feature and I’m not trying to “troll” or any of that crap, but personally I would love to see a bit more people of colour in this feature! Scrolling through past articles from your link really hits home how decidedly pale the feature is….

Most people are NOT stupid.

Just because you obsess over phones, doesn’t make you smart.

In my opinion, it was just “too much”. It took over way too much of the phone. A flipboard/blinkfeed-style widget that could take over much of the screen (or less) would’ve been an easier pill to swallow, in my opinion, for Facebook addicts.

Instead, you got “an app” (I know it’s a launcher) that took over your whole phone and, worse, buried stuff that people use a lot in drawers.

I wonder if they can re-tool it to be genuinely an app. Facebook: Home. Click the icon and boom, get a full screen facebook app to swipe around in. Drop it on your homescreen and keep it going.

Oh well!

While I don’t see Google doing this and biting into their Chrome OS……. I certainly CAN see Samsung doing this and just making a Touchwiz: Laptop Edition version of Android. Because, you know, Samsung.
