S4GRU Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Just saw this posted on the XDA P-Q forum: http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/23/verizon-motorola-droid-5-leak/ If it comes to Sprint, I sure hope it is better than the Photon Q. That was a pretty big disappointment for me. Talk about a buggy phone. And then not to have Moto's legendary RF performance either.

PythonFanPA Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 What kind of bugs have you experienced? The one consistently glaring thing I've found on the Q is a weird charging bug where in low or almost-nil signal situations (at least this seems to be when I notice it occurring), the phone doesn't charge normally....instead if you go and look at the status screen, you get a 'Not charging' state rather than Charging vs Discharging. I've read others compare the radios, but I hadn't used a Moto phone prior to this so I have no personal comparative experience. Coming from the Epic 4G it was an improvement for me in spite of that though. I haven't had much major issue beyond the charging issue. I did have the screen go out on my first one (not from a display but from a touchscreen angle) and had to get it replaced, but I've been fine with it overall otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swintec Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 i hope this comes to sprint and is a high end phone specs wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Excellent. I want a new high-end slider phone with at least 4.3" screen and triband support in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadBroChillz Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I think Motorola would be smart to corner the qwerty market. If they release a qwerty slider on all major carriers, they would probably see huge sales. No one makes Qwerty phones these days,especially high end ones. They would own the market.

ufergus Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 I would like to see this come to market too. Android needs a good physical keyboard phone this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenChase7 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 If it comes to Sprint, I sure hope it is better than the Photon Q. That was a pretty big disappointment for me. Talk about a buggy phone. And then not to have Moto's legendary RF performance either. Robert via Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 using Tapatalk I was thinking the same thing! I find it interesting that the OEM's that I've had the best luck with in the past (any Moto and the OG EVO) are now not very good RF performers and, the phones that used to suck (Samsung, LG) are now great RF performers. It is for reasons like this, I am finding it harder and harder to have any loyalty towards one specific OEM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swintec Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 New pic with side by side comparison with the P-Q: http://www.newcellphonesblog.com/motorola-droid-5-leaked-again.html i like it, although i do like my Photon Q so that may make me a bit biased. Granted I cant remember the specs of the Photon Q off hand but does the specs of this phone seem a bit weak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Main improvements I want are a better camera and triband LTE support. Removeable SIM card would also be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irwinshere Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I have both photon's the 4g and the "q". The original 4g does seem to have better radios, larger usable screen and more built in memory than the q. Otherwise i like both phones.

gameaddict8 Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Any news on a Sprint successor the the Photon Q? Maybe something for 2014. Last Sprint Flagship this year is the Max and possible Nexus 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
