Got a Galaxy Note 5 and loving it. You small phone people make no sense to me.
You never bike an entire day with your phone in your pocket? Run a half-marathon and want to keep stats and have maps available? Wear tight pants out in public? Go rock climbing and want to be able to call for help (or even just not leave your phone sitting at the bottom)? Hold the phone in one hand and read a bunch of web pages on a train?
Z5c is tempting away from impending Nexus 5X purchase. The 5X size is far less than ideal but I can deal with it. I don't even see a US release date for it though? All the news says it comes out in UK this month. Converting the price to USD shows it at $850... I do have a hard time believing they'd bring it over for more than $650 though. Is there any Sony proprietary bullshit to worry about here? They drive me up a fucking wall with that. Last time my wife bought a camera from them it came with proprietary, non-USB PC interface connection, memory stick, and a proprietary battery.

I built a mount for it since it powers my bike's speaker system but I have kept it in my pocket while riding and it's not a burden at all.

I do none of these things. Well, I do have A tight pair of jeans, but even then it's not an issue. No bulge. Well, from the phone, anyways.

Substitute train with toilet and yes.
Yeah, I find occasionally I need to sort of shimmey the phone up and down if I really need to absolutely use it one handed, but otherwise it's really not bad. Chris loves it for browsing the internet while I drive on road trips.
I'm probably going to get the 5X when my contract comes up this January; I'm frustrated by my Moto X not getting updates in reasonable time, and it's getting a bit old.
Does anyone have experience with the Moto G? I'm thinking of getting one, and reviews are pretty good, but they're mostly of the 16 gig model, and my provider only has the 8.
The Sony phones have only a few modifications to stock Android. However, they updated to android 5.0 about 9 months late. They were a lot better about 5.1, and maybe Sony will release 6.0 soon, but for how long will they release updates?
Actually, I had forgotten when I got it, and the patch level on the phone says "October 1st." I looked at it a minute ago when a coworker was bitching that the didn't have 6.0 yet.
TIL that patch level is independent of Android version.

Still, that's downright nice compared to what I've been putting up with for having a Lenovo laptop.
The biggest difference? The font on the clock.
