Anyone have thoughts on the Moto Z?
@sungo Well... I have the Moto Z Play and love it!
Battery life is crazy-good. Can't comment on the vanilla Moto Z though.
@morgan Which Android rev?
@morgan I guess I should ask these days what the "security patch level" date is since that's more important to me. Yay for maybe security :)
@sungo They've been sending out security patches once a month, which is pretty cool.
Though I do wish it was easier to acquire root and/or use a custom ROM. Those will be my priority in my next purchase, in a year or two.
I'm getting around 6-7 hours of screen-on-time; my previous phone would get around 3.
@morgan I find myself worrying less about rooting these days. With the death of Cyanogen, the ROM community is driven by their attention span which is lacking these days.
@sungo Good point.
It'd be nice if there was a cheap, open source phone eventually. Something more like a computer, where you can put pretty much any OS on it.
...I can dream. :P
@morgan Ubuntu tried and failed. Nokia had debian based deices way back in the day. But at this point in the game, it's really difficult for a someone other than Samsung or Apple to make a serious dent in the market. Microsoft can't do it and even Google's own phones don't have much of an impact.
@morgan Thank you for suggesting the z play. It looks like it'll do what I want and it looks to be cheap enough that I can pay for it with credit card points :)
