or they can be like me and have them all play nice with each other
I dont own all products from each ecosystem except Windows
I own iPads,Apple TV and used to have a Mac(now sold)
I have 2 Lumias,WD TV live(acts as media extender for windows),Surface pro 3 and multiple laptops and computers
I have a BB Z10 and no other newer BB product, except maybe 5-6 older BBos phones such as the Bold and Curve series phones
and lastly I have a Chromecast,Nexus 5,7(2012 and 2013)

I have slightly incomplete ecosystems but so far Ive made them work well with each other thanks to various apps etc
So I can use Airplay from my Android devices if I want
or Miracast from my Windows or Androids etc

Try Windows 10,itll deliver the same kind of experience
Microsoft has done a great job lately
infact they introduced the "3 screen" concept but they had loads of inconsistencies
Apple was the 1st to perfect it but Microsoft has caught up fast
Google will never get this right imho

Yea I sense something similar is going to happen and soon WP should become an important platform.

I've still gone ahead and ordered a Moto x play recently, cos windows apps are still not as feature rich (I could not find option to play subtitles along with video file on WPtorrent). And i face a few such things with most apps.

Wp10 and windows 10 will probably combine well together form a very good alternative rival ecosystem to Apple.

Moto X Play looks great so far

Thats why I bought Z3C (I didn't want a big phone too)

Moto X Play surely seems promising. I'm waiting for its review from GSMArena or Phonearena

What i understood tracking these android devices for sometime is its hard to get a phone with the right size, from a good brand, with good service, software updates, having good battery life, 3g/4g antennas, many other new features all in one device. And finally priced right.

We have to compromise on something or the other. So i compromise on size and chipset here but i get bigger battery. From the looks it feels pretty compact for a 5.5 incher. I've started liking big devices now (partly because there are few small options, and partly since i watch lot of videos).

Nexus 5x seems to be fitting most of my requirements, but i have to wait further long for its launch in India.

2015 is the year of compromises.

1. Have an overall great phone? Ditch the battery : X Style
2. Have a phone with great battery life? Ditch the gyroscope : X Play
3. Have a phone that's absolute VFM? Put in an overheating processor and ditch quick charge and NFC: One Plus 2
4. Have a phone directly from google? Ditch the micro sd slot and put in 16GB memory, also make it look downright ugly: Nexus 5X. OR simply make it uber expensive: Nexus 6P
5. Have a phone with fantastic camera? Make it expensive: LG G4.
6. Have the overall best phone in market? Price it high enough to put apple users to shame: Samsung S6 Edge. Also kill the battery: S6


The meizu pro 5 seems like an all over beast of a device, but again that comes with shoddy after sales support, questionable build quality, a flyme os that tries very hard to mimic iOs but fails and an overall not so good brand presence.

I want Meizu Pro 5 with Stock android and after sales service like Motorola. Otherwise Moto X Style for me.

MKBHD says Style has decent battery life.
Better for a day easily.
So battery is way better than S6.
Plus after recieving Marshmallow,battery will improve significantly.

Battery stats depend on usage, the battery is no way excellent, but it will last one day easily. MKBHD reviews look snappy but its pretty much a verbal narrative without much details and testing.

For a better review, check engagdget: Gadget & Consumer Electronics Reviews - Engadget - Engadget
X Style is the only one of two phones that have reached the 90 score barrier in engadget, the other being Note 5. So no doubt its an excellent phone.

This is a good indicator of battery: Does Moto X Pure get you through the day wit… | Moto X Style (Pure) | XDA Forums
From that thread I am sure that the phone will last one day for me easy. Plus there is a turbo charger and I carry a Xiaomi 10400mah powerbank when going out for long. My next phone will most likely be the Style depending on price.

S6 easily lasts over a day under moderate usage, might not last a day under heavy usage

Under heavy usage my Z3C just lasts a day with 5hr+ S.O.T ...... There are very few phones which can compete with Z3C in terms of battery life (don't bring feature phones here :p)

I totally agree on that

I personally rely on GSMArena & PhoneArena for detailed reviews. XDA is a good place to know real life battery life

I too personally think Moto X Style is a good phone with above average battery life (should be sufficient for many). If priced around 28k, it would be a great buy

Naa.... Oneplus One can't match Z3C..... My friend has it

It might have better battery life than S6.
1+2 should have used S808 to improve battery life(maybe).... G4 doesn't have good battery life though (says my friend who upgraded from Z1)

Yeah, GSMArena, PhoneArena and AndroidAuthority are best for reviews. XDA is best for everything else and a real life experience of the phone. MKBHD is more like a video commercial with lots of bling but very little substance.

Moto X Style is a fantastic phone, if you're not a very heavy user, think about GPS+LTE+Streaming+Gaming all at same time.

People are getting 8+hrs of SOT on one plus one with custom kernel like AK kernel or Franco.

People get 10hr+ S.O.T after optimization under moderate usage, so let's not mention those things as most people won't use it
I personally get 8 hrs+ if I watch movies(720p ones)

Sony's optimization + 720p screen did the trick. If Z5C has a poor battery life compared to Z3C, then Qualcomm is to be blamed

My dad's Honor 4X gives 6hrs SOT in moderate usage & he is too happy with it. Most people will be happy with S6's battery life. Its also better than iPhone's

5 hrs in a single day under heavy usage is a great battery life
I'm waiting for its GSMArena review

You said the key word here. ''Heavy'' and that is what I am interested in.

Dont listen to reviewers
they barely use these devices
how else will they review 4-5 phones every week

Rather go by personal experience
check xda for a clearer view on such things, they look into everything
