Specs aside, what's the best (BEST) smartphone design

>>57704742
nexus 5 but with unbranded back and bottom bezel as small as the top one.

Definitely Nexus 5.
Still rockin' it, anyone else?

>>57704742
Design wise I'd say the HTC One M8, if you put a different camera on the M8 it'd be the GOAT

>>57704777
This.

I was still using my original nexus 5 up until 2 weeks ago when my OP3 arrived.

>>57704794
no, you faggot
you are the only one on this planet using that fucking phone

>>57704742
Increase the screen size by thinning out the bezel and it'd be great.

How do you like the OP3? I'm thinking of buying the 3T next month and trying to weigh my options.

>>57709334
desu the '15 is better

S6 or S7 edge

>>57709334
all of the moto x' have had pretty nice designs.

IMO, the most comfortable is the 2013 model, but the 2014 model is a perfect balance of size/comfort.

The 15 is the most comfortable phablet I've also used, so it's by no means a poorly designed phone. I just think at that size it's a bit difficult to make a comfortable phone, since you won't be able to do everything one handed.

>>57704794
Yep but going to replace the battery soon.

>>57704794
mine just fucking broke (antenna drops many calls when on LTE)
tried everything to fix it (both hardware and software methods)
even got a new sim card as a last resort though I knew it was not likely to solve the problem

Rocking since release day
Was planning to use indefinitely since there is nothing good to upgrade to. Disappointed since there are no more repair steps I could try

It got a little small for today standards, but holy shit this is glorious. Material quality was absolutely stunning, entire display half was made of metal, quality plastics were sitting tightly in their places, metal back was covered in rubber to make it more comfortable to hold, plus all of those little golden accents. It was so fucking beautiful from every possible angle.

qwerty was shit though, worst qwerty i ever used. Well, at least it was still qwerty.
