Well their "conclusion" seems like a bit of a stretch given the limited amount of information.
the fingerprint scanner and the almost bezel-free display are the two things about this phone which have my attention.
If that really is a finger-print scanner on the back/power button, then they're a couple years late to that party
my POS Motorola Atrix had that a few years ago.

Did that thing actually work? And what was it used for?
Barely. I went through 3 diff't warranty replacements because they kept breaking. Got it switched out to an HTC Inspire. It was a fingerprint scanner and power button built into one. You could swipe your finger on the scanner or press down to unlock (and authenticate)
it was slick...when it worked
Awesome news! This is even better than I expected. Now tell me it's got micro SD support and this will definitely be my next phone (I love my OG that I've got now).
2600 isn't all that great. The Sony Honami is rumored to have a 3000+ mAh battery.
Isn't it sad that we have to worry about how huge the next phone's battery is going to be? What we should really be hoping for is that Google to makes android a much more efficient OS.
Totally agree. I got better battery life on my 4S with a ~1400 mAh battery than my 2100 mAh battery in my Nexus 4.
But what do you expect from an operating system that is meant to run on so many different devices? Unfortunately Android will never be able to offer the true optimization that iOS offers. Same story with OS X and Windows. The MBA gets insane battery life thanks to Haswell and OS optimizations. I saw a new Acer ultrabook come out with Haswell that only gets 7 hours compared to the MBA's 12.
Couldn't it happen though? With google working so closely with the hardware partners for the Nexus devices?
For Nexus devices it is possible. But Nexus phones are a small minority compared to other phones. So as a whole, I doubt there will be any major battery improvements solely from software. Hence why I think battery capacity is something we still need to always consider, and hence why it was brought up with the LG G2 and Sony Honami.
Sure, it's not great compared to something like the Note 2, but the way I look at it is you can put a smaller battery in there, as long as I have the option of swapping it out. I can't stand phones that don't allow for user replaceable batteries. Then you're truly at the mercy of the battery and/or charger.
If you have an extra battery you are just at the mercy of 2 batteries and a charger. Not much different. Plus since they are separate objects, you have to remember to keep both charged, remember to keep one in your pocket, and even remember to spend the money to buy one in the first place. All you are suggesting is just more stuff in your pockets, more stuff to keep track of, thus being at the mercy of more things.
And what happens if you forget your extra battery or forget to charge it all the way up? Then if you are gone from a charger for a while, you will run out of juice much sooner.
Plus if you only argument is being at the mercy of it, why not just buy a universal external battery from someone like Anker? Then when you get a new phone you won't have to constantly be buying extra batteries. Plus some are extremely small and can charge more than one device at once. No more "being at mercy" of something. Sure, this is nearly as flawed as your argument in the sense that it is still another thing to keep track of. But at least this way you won't be limited to your extra battery only working with 1 type of phone.
I would take a phone with a non-removable 3000 mAh battery over a phone with a removable 2600 mAh battery any day.
JC man, could you down my opinion a little more while giving your own flawed opinion???
I gave my OPINION and what I need out of a phone and battery. If that doesn't fit what you need, take a hike.

I think I stayed rather calm, actually.
Care to give a reason as to why my opinion is flawed?
So you can express your opinion, but anyone who believes differently should take a hike?
All I did was state my opinion and why I disagree with yours. This is an open forum. Critical thinking and civil debate should be welcomed.

Just barely over a week left before it is officially announced. I'm hoping for a huge battery, but I'm not holding my breath. I expect only a 2500-2600 or somewhere around there. It'd be nice if more people started including 3000 mAh batteries.
Seriously this is just a blatant copy of Samsung. I think the g2 will be bad arse especially with that beefed up 800
