8GB phones.
Ability to have a lot more RAM in phones for one.
Until they start shoving 6GB of RAM in these things, It's bigger then 32.
Given that most android OEMs care more about having the latest specs in their flagships, I guess they'll be all over this.
Well I've long had this dream of having a phone as a PC, you just dock it to connect it to a monitor/kb/mouse/network storage and its a desktop PC. With that that ram would be great for multitasking among other things.
I'm sure you'll have one in about 2 years. They already tried it with the Atrix, I'm sure they will try again.
Maybe. I think it might be a ways off before the idea is implemented well though. And probably Windows is in the best spot OS wise to do it. having separate phone and docked OSes I thought was a bad idea.
Yes well, I can see that. It's almost a certainty Samsung will rush something out quick to be first. Galaxy S64
This isn't such a stretch anymore really. I mean doesn't the Surface tablets dabble in stuff like this already? Give it a year or two and we'll probably have something way more sophisticated.
Well the G3 has 1.5 million more pixels than the Moto X+1........ and they both have the 801 btw.
And just changing 1 portion of the UI on a TouchWiz phone doesn't magically cure it of TouchWiz.......
Thank you.
There isn't.
Still don't know who this is.
Jk it's me
No, but tochwiz is really not in my face in anymore and frankly I don't care, I never found touchwiz to be all that bad.

day 1 for me. and that way i'll catch the good not-first-gen 64-bit SoCs in 2 years after they work the kinks out.
MORE POWER
you could always get a Lumia 520, those things have great performance. someone should do a video of one going up against a GS5 in basic tasks.

Anandtech talked about the other benefits to 64 bit in their iPhone 5S review and again when Android L was announced.

tl;dr: The most obvious advantage is the increased addressable memory but there are also general performance gains.

Would y'all still recommend the Nexus 5 even though the N6 is probably going to be out soon? I just moved to Korea, I had a Moto X back in the states (I loved it, perfect size for me) and the Nexus 5 seems to be the closest thing I can find to that here. It also seems like everything here is a phablet, which kind of sucks.
Probably not. Too close to the new one. I would at least wait and see what they do first and then the N5 will be cheaper anyway.
Yes, they are, and yes, that's what's happening.
Yes there are algorithms in place to reduce sensitivity near the edges. IPad air does it.
Now that I am in the process of making a clean install of Windows 7 on my desktop, I would use the opportunity to make it work more together with my new LG G3 mobile device as well.
What can I do with it?
I know about the shared tabs and history in Chrome, but is there any need for Google Drive if I use Dropbox already? I'm also gonna try out the Google Play thing you guys recommended, and I don't use Google Plus as a side note.

One tip: get Pushbullet on your phone and in chrome and get it to sync your notifications to your pc. Enjoy.
Cool! Thanks for this, I often sit with my phone on silent and have missed calls because of it. Just tested out and it's really nifty, even sync's the contact name and profile image when you're getting a call. Very handy!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
64 bit wide address bus can be big though I'm not sure how big with the current setup of mobile devices vs the PC.

Coming to the USA:
http://androidandme.com/2014/08/news/sharps-one-bezel-aquos-crystal-smartphone-is-headed-to-the-us/
Now I want Sharp to do a Nexus phone.
Sharp phones have always had that quiet dignity about them.
I got the app for my phone and the extension for desktop Chrome browser. Haven't yet seen it work but is curious if my SMS went through from my Chrome browser.
Fake edit:
Oh nice, Pushbullet just told me an app got updated on my phone.
Just quick now that I'm cleaning up everything, do you guys happen to know where I can see my Google contacts?

It looks like using cheap plastic and pretty fat though....
It's a bug/feature in mobile GAF.
The general gains sound like what you'd expect from a new architecture rather than being specifically due to being 64-bit.
This. Also it would look much better with a slightly larger bezel which is (nearly) the same width all around.
I'm having an interesting morning. I got lost into that the abyss that is android themeing. I'm lurking those LG G3 Android Homescreen threads plotting my customization options. I'm plotting out here for the right time to click that purchase button.
Is there a way to permanently disable icons in the status bar? Coming over from an iPhone all I want is location notification on the right next battery percentage and carrier next to wifi on the left.
I don't want a bezeless phone. I need something to hold onto dammit.

There's a one click method to root the European LG G3, allegedly. I'm not sure if we're allowed to link to rooting methods.
Do your googles and I'm sure you'll find it within the first 20 results.
Alternatively you can access it from gmail by clicking on the 'gmail' button (or mail button if your an apps user) on the left:
Thanks for this. I finally got all of my contacts sorted and have them all stored on my Google account.
Now I'm gonna look into the Google Play Music stuff that were talked about earlier in this thread, before looking at rooting it. Is there any benefit to rooting Android? I'm new at this scene.
If you read the article they mention they'll fall under the same subscription.
There was a good discussion on it a few pages back. It gives you su access to your file system, meaning you can: tweak every UI element you can think of (with Xposed and stuff), monitor system processes more closely, allow you to remove/add system apps, full system backups, etc.
It's kinda neat, but I haven't done anything requiring root in a long time (Except for flashing a new ROM recently, but that's a different story) because I've found I don't really need it.
I did read, I still don't understand the point.
what phone?
