I mean, come on, what’s next? We plug in our charger and our phone instantly charges to 50%? This is insane. Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 5 promises to charge a smartphone from absolute zero to 50 percent in as little as five minutes! That is impressive.
Don’t take this wrong. I know, Corning’s Gorilla Glass is a godsend. But with each new generation of Gorilla Glass, we have to choose between improved durability against drops or scratches. Corning doesn’t and can’t excel in both areas. If a glass formula is hard enough to resist scratches, it becomes more brittle and susceptible…

We can hope that good software engineering overcomes some of the disappointing hardware specs but I’m not holding my breath. I think Motorola/Verizon…
I can’t say I don’t appreciate the gesture but more to the point, I don’t appreciate getting price-gouged to begin with.
