    I can see Apple suing them over this. It certainly looks more like an iPad than most Samsung Phones look like iPhones.

    I think this looks incredibly similar to Samsung tablets, including the landscape oriented home button.

    Not even close. Apart from the rectangular home button, the layout is landscape for god's sake.
    This is the sort of knee-jerk "Apple uber alles" thinking that gives Apple supporters a bad name.

    But if you're going to complain about the lockscreen, now you have case. I mean, damn, that looks like it was photoshopped from an iPad.
    I wonder what you see when you pull up the slider at the bottom of the screen.

    Android 5.1? Is this some kind of sick joke?

    What's going on with Android hardware launching with old version of the OS? I can see it up to a point as it takes time to engineer this stuff. But come on... Enough already. If you are launching a new device without Android 6 on it at this point you can keep it as far as I'm concerned.
    I wonder if there is something about A6 requirements OEMs don't like as every new Android device I see says it will launch with 5 or 5.1.
    I'm not buying anything more without at least 6 on it. I like that new permissions model and I'm good enough and smart enough and pretty enough and I deserve it!

    good lord, the mock up looks a hell of a lot like iOS

    Buy a Shield K1 tablet much better value, faster and Marshmallow goodness for 200 dollars. It seriously is a no-brainer.

    The problem with the Shield K1 is that it only gives you a 16 Gb eMMC, much of which is consumed by the OS, with no way to expand your storage. If it had a microSDXC expansion port, it would indeed be a no-brainer; I consider the Shield crippled by this limitation.
