looks pretty cool to me. I don't like big phones :many:
I don't like big phones either but on Android your options are slim if you wanna get a full day's battery life out of a phone. I have the Galaxy S6 and the battery life is very poor. I'm constantly turning stuff on and off when I'm using it vs not using it so I can make it a full day.

If you go with the iPhone it's pretty easy to make it a full day on a single charge even on a regular iPhone 6. On Android you need to get a large phone to get that kind of battery life.

Like breh said before, it's a gimmick..also samsung not coming through with the support they should for it. The upgrade to 5.0 has been horrible for note edge users and samsung basically saying they don't give a fukk.

It's cool when you play around with it, but after a while, it will just annoy you

IPhone it is then.

Never had a problem with battery life and I know they will always keep me updated.

My wife loves her edge though. She doesn't know or care about any of the upgrade stuff. It was a whole $120 more than the IPhone 6:huhldup:

Best buy was giving out $200 in gift cards per line so it worked out pretty good:ehh:

The Android fanboys will tell you different but day to day the iPhone is the better end user device. Granted there are certain things you'd have issues doing on an iPhone like downloading an rar and extracting it then importing that music into your music player over the phone but 90% + of the time that sort of stuff won't come into play.

If you're a tech head that prefers to tinker with stuff and customize it Android will be for you but if you want a stable usable device you don't need to mess with and it just works the iPhone is far superior.

Apps run better on iPhone, they usually get app updates first and new apps first. For example I have two Fitbits the Charge HR and Surge. You can have multiple trackers on a single account. On my Galaxy S6 the Fitbit app will always look for the Surge. I use the Charge HR at work so I don't break my Surge and if the S6 can't find the Surge it tries to sync like 2-3 more times before it looks for the Charge the whole process takes several minutes. On iOS the Fitbit app looks for the Surge and if it doesn't find it within seconds it's looking for the Charge and the sync is done.

App developers take better care of their iOS users than Android users. An Android stan that's never owned an iPhone wouldn't know that kinda stuff though as they have no comparison to make.

I don't care about that :manny:
It'll be an industry standard shortly. I wouldn't buy a phone at this point without it. Superior method of unlocking your phone and better for making mobile payments with.

I went from a 6+ to an LG G4 and its neck and neck IMO. Expandable memory is a huge plus. The interface is much more clean on this phone than on other Android devices I've used too. To be honest though, I MAY go back to the iPhone, mainly because all my computers at home are Mac and I lean more towards their OS. Just my preference though. Both are phenomenal OS and phones overall. I find the camera on the G4 does take better pictures than the 6+ and shooting in raw with the edit capabilities it has is impressive.

Note 5 or LG G4 are 2 great candidates choices for android phones right now

Note 5 if you want premium feel and goodies and don't mind the price tag
  • good battery
  • great camera
  • theme store
  • best display currently
  • fingerprint reader
  • Samsung Pay(if you're into that stuff)

LG G4 if you want everything inside of a phone, despite it's flunky, ugly looking user interface(of course this is matter of opinion):
  • good battery
  • good/great camera
  • expandable storage
  • removable battery
  • Leather back
  • Cheaper
:lupe:
