[Q] Suggest me which one to buy? S5 vs M8 vs Z2

i am really confused which one to buy. as i am from note 3, it is normal for me to go for s5. but i got some negative comment about s5. phone bezel is wide, front camera is 2mp when others are going for 5mp front(like oppo find 7a and htc one m8). but still i have a weak spot for samsung. so please suggest me honestly. i will see this post everday. In Shaa Allah this monday i will buy anyone based upon your suggestion.
s5 white is 2039rm where s5 black is 2080rm
htc one m8 is 2199 rm
z2 is 2499rm(why so expensive la?)
i previously used many set. if you need to do anything with that here is a short list of them for past 2 years(s2, s3, s4, note 2, note 3, xperia z, htc one x, nokia lumia 920, lenevo a880, lenevo s930, iphone 4s, 5 etc, cant remember all).

Ive not had this problem. It gets a little warm when using full brightness whilst on charge.

Doesn't bother me cause I'm so cool
JK, but yeah, like total music, only when charging for me, I think. Not even sure if it heats up all the time or sometimes cause I don't touch my phone when it's charging.

Definitely wait for the LG G3 :fingers-crossed:

The phone has heating problem. When i download from play store, it become so hot in the camera area. Other function cool. When i look from the 170 degree, suddenly there is a greenish color shift. I think may be factory default screen protector. Also color rendering is not accurate. As i used iphone and lenevo. I saw almost same color rendering on those two ips display. Which i think is accurate. But in s5 the color is totally different of that thing. I think may be cause of adapt display. The display a bit yellowish. I think cause of the factory defailt screen protector.

With Cinema display setting it's quite good. Much better than Standard if you like accuracy rather than oversaturation.

Mine G900F has a heating problem when used actively for updates and downloads probably is something related to the CPU usage. But in normal day to day usage is with good working temperatures. However I would check other phones as well and if I owned a Note 3 I wouldn`t change it as the Note 3 is amazing phone i even think it`s better then the S5 or very close.

Hmmm..ecery device has its cons. S5 is no difference. But we can live with that.

Note 4 screen and back

Will the Note 4 have full RBG and beautiful metallic feel back like the Note 2 instead of the Note 3's pentile screen and ugly cow skin back?

I just looked at the very first note 4 Samsung manufactured (I got it from them for my birthday) and I can confirm this: yes.

Actually, I saw the revised model, it's a watch type interface that when you move your hand into a certain position uses lasers to project a hologram phone into your hand....

No, but again, this article is all supposition with no firm answers... Just a "leak" about what might be on it.
As such, my previous comment can be considered what could be due to the fact you can have lasers make holograms and the HOT smart watch does in fact allow your hand to be used as a handpiece to make/receive calls....

According to an article on Android Authority the difference between 1440p and 1080p is slighty noticeable on smartphones.
http://www.androidauthority.com/quad-hd-vs-1080p-comparison-359430/
But assuming the 1440p screen is a battery drainer, I would probably go for the superior performance / battery life on a similar 1080p device

S5 to z2

That isn't much time, give it two weeks at least and many more recharge cycles.
How high is your screen brightness set to ? auto or some fixed value.
Going outdoors in auto will boost brightness a lot, this will kill the battery much faster but at least you will be able to see the screen unlike others.

I came from Galaxy Note 3 to Xperia Z2 and I can really recommend it. Battery life has been better for me on Sony and other than that you get bonuses only, premium design, stereo speakers (although a bit silent), water resistant, very good camera, lightweight Android skin from Sony etc.
I would recommend.

I loved my Note 2, the Note 3 was even better, but I tired of Samsung TouchWiz. I just got my Z2 and appreciate Song's minimalistic skin. The Z2 has a lot of great things going for it!

This! The number of times I've used my phone when out about, friends or acquaintances have asked me what phone it is often saying they've never seen it and that it looks amazing.

I have z2 and taking photos they were never blurred in the background. Did they clean the lens from fingerprints. Total fake or old software. As also the kidding sharpness of sgs 5.Tried them both in same occasion and place. Z2 was not far worse than S5 but still a first class in compact cams, and hits perfectly clear macro scene, next time use a cam holder if you have shaky hands.

Z2 is much better than S5
I've had S5 then I bought Z2 later..
Z2 is much better in everything except the camera flash and the smaller bezel
2 GB ram of S5 is too much stupid... even with greenify..
mali 628 gpu is laggy
AMOLED screen drain much battery in white color.. you have to use dark mod apps
I had Iphone 5s, htc m8 and Z2.. Z2 is the best

Nexus 6p vs note 5

I currently have a 32gb black sapphire note 5 from tmobile which I love a lot.. If I had to be honest with myself I'd have to say my battery heats up from time to time and all the Knox bs drives me crazy.. I have been considering getting the 6p and giving my mom my note 5 so it stays in house and I can always switch back to it and give my mom the 6p.. I'm wondering for those who have it if the jump is truly worth it..
I've read about the 6p bending and the sound quality not being so great and sounds muffled etc.. Also someone mentioned it heats up as well.. Can anyone help with any feedback before I make the plunge??...

Yes, do some searching. Plenty of threads open about same topic. Check your Note 5 in a dark room, dark wallpaper, does it have this issue?

I have a 128gb Frost 6P. I have had a lot of the best flagship devices over the years and this is the best Android device I have ever used. Have not experienced heating issues, stutters, lag...its really just a great device. Of your worried about bending (which I think has been over blown) use a case.
Highly recommended.

The only time I have experienced a heating issue was while using the phone and charging at the same time. I ran antutu twice... Both times after using the phone for a while and other apps open.. Once with the microfiber case on and once naked. With case I got 50k, without 59.5. The phone is excellent and I have not run into issues that others have reported.

No have not owned a Note 5 but do own a 64gb S6. Don't like TW and the S6 is starting to stutter and lag. The battery life as well has been awful from the start. I have an OPO as well and it was a decent device (good battery life).
Frost looks great, those chamfered edges really pop and its not nearly as slippery as a glass device. I'm a Nexus guy though....I like using the UI the way Google intended and being first in line for updates.
Good luck man, I have heard good things about the Note 5 so I'm sure you can't go wrong either way.

Honestly, the 6p is a fantastic phone. My favorite phone to date, but I've grown to prefer pure Android over TW, Sense, etc. If you really like TW then I say try to figure out your heating issue and stick with the note 5. Try turning the display to basic, the other settings seem to be pretty taxing on the phone. The note has 2 huge advantages over the 6p imo: the camera software and one handed mode.

Video recording is nothing special on the Nexus 6p. Also screen is awesome but if you hold it side by side against the Note 5 you will want the Note 5. Eye gets used though, so if you already use nova on your Note 5 and apps from the Playstore to substitute Samsung's own apps you might like the phone. I say try it, you have 15 days to return it. Usually Nexus devices are for those people that know how to tweak their phone and prefer minimalistic style.

Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I Have both phones and they are both beasts. I find that thanks to the lighter touchwiz and the combination of exynos and 4gb of RAM the note 5 is as snappy and lag free as the Nexus 6P. I give the Note 5 the edge on the camera side and the N6P for the battery. It all comes down to what you need. If you absolutely love the note 5 camera you're going to miss it. If you are familiar and appreciate the stock android experience of the nexus line then by all means get it. Best nexus phone by far you will not regret it.

I agree the N6P has the best battery life since my OPO definitely a plus.

Anyone jumping to the Note 7?

Is anyone jumping from their S7 Edge to the Note 7?
If so or if not, what are your reasons behind it?
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app

The only way I would is if my S7 Edge was still within return policy. Otherwise I cannot see how anyone could logically justify paying the full price for a Note 7 if they already have an S7 Edge.
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Nah, very happy with the S7 Edge, the best phone I've ever owned. I enjoyed the stylus on my Note 3, but not to the point where I'd bother with the extra expense of another upgrade only 4-5 months into a 24 month contract. Also, thanks to Vodafone messing me around at the start of the contract in March I have a deal I'd never get on the Note 7, paying only £75 a month for two S7 Edge phones (one for me and one for the wife) with unlimited mins/texts and 15gb of data a month per phone. With 2x Spotify premium accounts thrown in for free.
Besides, the differences in terms of hardware is negligible and this forum has already started introducing roms based upon the Note 7. From what I can see, the stylus and Type-C USB are the only real differences under the hood.

sounds like entering funny (sorry but I think iris scanning is funny and will not have health/radiation certificate for eyes) space station with low fuel (3500mah) and many other problems (possibly battery drain, bad firmwares, questionable IP68 and Gorilla Glass, camera problems -like pink dots in HDR on, bad front camera quality) by paying 850€ to the ticket. Definitely stay in S7 Edge and wait Nougat...

It has an iris scanner (wich needs you to swipe the screen first and then calibrate and then whatever the f..) (wich doesnt work in the dark) (fingerprint - max 2 seconds / iris scanner - 4-5 seconds *you need light.) and a stylus. Thats an s7 edge with those 2 things. The stylus is ok for drawing. Period. If you have a hand to hold it you have fingers.
Perfromance - s7 scored 140k benchmark points when it was first released. Note 7 scored 144k. It has a newer software but with android nougat we will have the same software with little changes.
Is note 7 better? Yes.
Do i feel the urge to change my s7 with a note 7?
No,because im not that guy wich films both phones at 240f/s to see that one is faster by 2 nanoseconds.
Phones should be changed at every 2 years. Maybe once a year if it really has "a gallaxy of possibilities" more than the older phone has.
Changing my phone from 5 to 5 months? For a stylus? NOPE.
If 1.2k $ were my lunch money yea i'd change it,but as it isn't..no.
I really dont feel the need for a better phone. I feel the need of 2k games and apps,wich actual gameplay and funny stuff i like. Even with my Grand Prime all the apps were buttery smooth...more or less. Grand prime has a 20k points on antutu,my personal s7 has 134k. If i dont feel that difference i wont feel a 10k points difference.
Again - note 7 is a beast. I'd buy it if i had a flip phone,but i have the s7 edge. It doesnt worth the upgrade.

Why change.
Same soc
Same ram size.
No performance improvement only more bloatware because of the pen.

Had I not got the 7Edge a few months back ... yes, I probably would buy the Note.
As is, there is minimal difference so I won't spend to much thought on it.
The phone I keep an eye out for now is the LG V20. - It's the only one of interest for me for now. Lack of weather proofing could be a deal breaker though.

had the g3 once..will never own an lg phone ever again..

There's no improvements, the only big difference is the pen, and as I don't care about that thing, the anwser is no

cause I'm asking why u talk about a LG phone on the note 7 thread :v

I'm thinking about it. I got my s7e free. Reason I'm thinking about it besides the nice little improvements is
1: the screen size. I came from an LG V10
2: More internal memory
3: iris scanner actually sounds awesome. I'd mostly use the fingerprint sensor more for unlocking but Samsung is said to be working with banks to incorporate it with mobile banking.
I actually think the pen looks cool but not exactly sure how much I'd use it. USB type c also looks bad ass but could be a pain not having a ton of them laying around.
@QBerto I believe he was talking about LG in response to the comment above his.
@hello00 The G4 and V10 we're tons better. Don't know about the G5 but seemed like they were in the right direction.

The screen size difference between the Note 7 and S7 Edge really isn't worth the upgrade. I came from a Note 3 (same screen size as the Note 7 at 5.7") and I barely noticed the difference.

If I didn't have JOD probably not. Since I do why not. The monthly price is a little more by a few dollars I think,and I get the pen back. Not to mention the blue color.

well I'm quoting u because I can then :v

To tell you the truth:
My biggest mistake was selling my S6 Edge+
The S7 Edge display is - in my opinion - more disturbing than helping. Good phone yes but the curved display is making more mistakes than it is helpful.
Just my opinion. If the S7 - NOT EDGE - would be availibe in 5.5" or 5.7" I would change to asap.

lienot

might consider it if t-mobile throws in a BOGO on the notes, like with the s7 edges, where i got additional 2 gear vrs and 2 year of netflix.
