What phone will replace your N4?

The Lenevo Moto thing is horrible news to me.

Lenevo is of course, an IBM spin off.

I have a good friend who is a 20 year employee of Big Blue. That place has completely gone to hell in a handbasket. A managerial cluster-yeah of biblical proportions. The Lenevo nut can't fall far from the tree.

No, not really. Lenovo is based out of China and is the world's largest computer vendor by unit sales. It's been around since the '80s. In 2005 they bought IBM's personal computer division and made a name for themselves in the U.S. with the ThinkPad brand.

The two corporate cultures are radically different. I can't say one is better than the other, though.

Lunatic is right. Lenovo is a completely different company. IBM sold the pc business (and now the
Intel based server business) to Lenovo.

My battery life is terrible, due to a massive msm_hsic_host wakelock.

In truth it has put me off the nexus line a little, but I know that if a nexus 6 (surely the name would be nexus 4 or 5 2014, as the number relates to screen size & god forbid a 6 incher?) came out i'd be all over it.

Ok, so why do people say the name related to the screen size? I know it does with the tablets, but I don't see that with the phones. Wasn't the first phone called Nexus one? The Nexus 4 has a 4.5 (am I remembering correctly, or is it bigger?) screen size. But, it is also the fourth Nexus phone. The Nexus 5 screen is just a tad below 5 inches. It is the 5th Nexus phone. So, if there's a 6th Nexus phone, it could be called Nexus 6 and still have a five inch screen. Please enlighten me if my thinking is wrong. Thank you.
 
Surely google would want a coherent naming solution for all their devices, especially when they follow the same rules.

The nexus 4/ 7 and 10 were the first to follow their new rules. IMO this naming has been reinforced with the Nexus 7 2013, so why wouldn't google use this on their next nexus phone?

If they dont and continue using 4, 5, 6 based on yearly releases then they will have a big problem next year
 
I would like to think that it will be another Nexus, but I hope they don't get too big or too expensive.

I am hooked on pure Android, and I neither need, nor want all the extra crap which manufacturers and carriers graft onto the OS.
 
If for some reason I had to replace my N4 today, like it took a plunge into the river or got run over, I would honestly look at the Moto G 16GB GPE edition... My son has one and its amazing, and the battery life puts my N4 to shame.

I have a G2 as a work phone, it is honestly just a tad too big, in general any 5"+ screen is too large for one handed use, kinda wish I had gotten a One instead. Although the Oppo Find 5 phone is really sweet.
 
I was wondering whether to do a deal with my husband, let him have my 4 to replace my old N1 which he is still using, and get myself a 5. But...... shall I wait for the 6........
 
My wife just got a Xperia Z1 Compact, which turns out to be a great phone. I'm curious to see what the OnePlus One will be like also.

Screen sizes have gotten too big on flagship devices, for my liking. The N4 has the right size screen and i'd be looking at something similar
