$249 is for the white/16gb. Black/64gb is $299. Still a fantastic deal though. The Zenfone 2 makes the choice difficult though. $300 gets you a microSD slot in addition to the 64gb built in, plus an extra gig of RAM. But 64gb built in is plenty for pretty much anyone, and I doubt any OPO owner has been dissatisfied with "only" 3gb RAM. The OPO has a better screen, better construction, is a bit more svelte, and then of course there's the custom support.

Plus the "Google" button arrangement would drive me nuts. My first smartphone was a Sony Ericsson X10a, with the menu button on the left, back button on the right. Same on my next phone, the Droid Razr Maxx. Now I have a OPO, 2 Samsungs, and a Nexus 4, plus my LG tablet. All have the same button arrangement (or allow me to chose it).

I'm going off on a bit of a tangent with this, but it really irritates me that Google's button arrangement is the opposite of what it historically was. It might seem a trivial thing, but having it reversed on hardware buttons, and/or not having the choice in software to rearrange them (kudos to LG for this) is pretty much a deal killer for me.

That said, the $199 Zenfone 2 is a hell of a deal. Only 2gb RAM, but that's still plenty, especially considering there's no multi-window multitasking (a big oversight, IMO). 16gb built-in is enough since it has a microSD slot. It's a hell of a lot of phone for only $200. If I only had $200, and needed a new phone, that's probably what I would get. Although it'd have to duke it out with the LG G2...

[MENTION=5749364]Planterz[/MENTION] my bad I didn't mean to misinform anyone +1 on $299 for the 64g is still one heck of a phone for the money.

I went to the S6 edge as soon as root was achieved and Flashfire compatible.

I know which is exactly why I said the post you quoted, and also showed you that comparison with the 615 getting completely beat lol. However, I believe I mistook your first post as comparing the 615 vs the 800/801 instead of the Z3580 vs the 800/801. If that's the case then my apologies. You are correct with the GPU being on par with the Adreno 330, but the CPU is more between the SD 801 and SD 805 as per Geekbench results. The maximum value ZF2 in multi-core test reached just under 3100 points, while something like the HTC One M9 (with the SD 810) is averaging 3500+.

The nexus and note are pretty close, I'd give the edge to the nexus due to not having TW on it and the lag that comes with it. Of course no where near the features but I don't use half of them anyway.

Battery life is better on the note and of course the camera kills the nexus camera.but overall speed and responsiveness goes to the nexus

From what I've heard the One X is better than the Galaxy SIII if only marginally, lol. I'd take either in a heartbeat, though... not that picky when there are high end phones in the air.

[General Topics] Planterz:
No offense, but this question is rather absurd. The S6 Edge is an extremely expensive device, while the OnePlus One is the cheapest high-end phone on the market. The S6 is an averaged sized phone, while the OPO is a phablet, The idea of "better" doesn't even apply, given the size difference. The S6 wins when it comes to hardware, but it costs twice as much. What do you want to spend? Give me some more info, and I might even come up with other alternatives that you haven't even considered.

I own both and I've said many times the OPO is the best device of its kind for the money.

I've had Sammy devices from the S2 up to and now including the S6 and in my opinion, which means nothing, is a superior device. Battery is fantastic camera is far superior 64g storage is sufficient the screen is superior.

But everyone has their own opinion, needs and wants.

Agree about Note 4. I was so close to buying the Note 4, but at last minute ended up getting the M9, which I kinda regret.

I had so many problems with M9 , and had to get replacement first day due to dead pixel problem plus default messaging not working at all.

After a replacement and then 5 factory resets and an update, its working ok now but display is really unimpressive, even compared to my old S4 .. and as I mentioned here before, M9 not as 'user-friendly' to customize rom as my Samsung, (because of S-on,S-off, Cid,etc. Now I look back, Odin and flashing S4 roms was sooooo easy lol).

That said...I guess the M9 sound is very good. Battery is average. Speed is better than my S4, but seems much much less than S6. I dont live by antutu scores but I only got 51k-55k antutu scores max on M9.

i feel might sell this M9 and buy a new Note 4 (or S5?) instead. Still undecided...

Anyone know how the M9 compares with Note 4 (and S5) for speed?

Quick response needed for a old guy that is way out of the loop ;)

Need to go get a new phone today (AT&T) as my daughter broker hers, and well I just think I should get a new one and give her my S5.

I am contemplating between S6, Note 4 or the M9 ??

I hate that the S6 no longer has a card slot and while I had a Note 3 for a long time I am a little over the super sized phablet thing. Oh also would be nice to root with out jumping over so many damn hoops.

Any way thoughts between the 3 ?

Thanks
[General Topics] s8freak:
64g of storage on the s6 is a lot. I have the Edge and I love this device. Root takes about 5 seconds with the pingpong apk and FlashFire for a couple Roms.

Debloated and some good themes from the theme store included and there ya go.

Turn off the Google Now cards just about doubles battery life.

There's a lot of naysayers against it but it's a great phone.

I'm 53 by the way.

Either the s6 edge or flat I think you'd like em.

I've had Sammy S phones since the S2 up to and including the S6.

My wife has the Note4 no root but it's a good phone...I like my S6 much better.
[General Topics] Planterz:
If you liked your S5, you'd probably be happiest and most familiar with the S6. HTC Sense is drastically different than TouchWiz (not saying one is better than the other, just that they're different), The camera on either the Note 4 or S6 is far better than the M9's. The S6 is easily rooted without tripping KNOX.
[General Topics] simonbigwave:
I got the M9 and regret it. Display sucks, battery average, not easy to customize compared with my previous sammy devices . Not many custom roms. But sound speakers is very very good and has external SD card, which S6 doesnt have.

If i had choice i would go for Note 4, great display, plus note 4 has removable battery. I really miss that with the M9. Depends on whats ur priorities.

I'd go s6 or note 4, in my case it would be the note...I hate small screens and like the option of an SD card (I have a 128gb in my note 4) and removable battery. That said I've adjusted to not having either on my nexus 6.

Hi!

English is not my native language but I will do everything possible so that you can understand me.

I want to buy a smartphone, but I can't decide.

I am not addicted to play on my smartphone. Need a corporate phone, with which I can get the best performance in terms of productivity is concerned.

Sometimes I need to take pictures, or videos that can be included in the final edition of audiovisual projects.

Also can edit spreadsheets, text files, but with comfort and effectiveness.

At this time, I have a s4 i9505, but it has become a bit slow, with the latest update of Android. And physically, well, the phone is already close to complete its cycle.

I've been thinking seriously about choosing between Note 4, Galaxy S6 or HtcM9.

What I can advise you guys?

Out of those 3 for your uses note 4 hands down.

current devices: Nexus 6, Note 4, 3, 2, S3, OneX+
[General Topics] Planterz:
Flip a coin (one that has 3 sides...I guess). Honestly, they're all fine. They have their strengths and weaknesses, you just have to weigh them against your priorities. The M8 isn't waterproof, the other 2 are. The Z3 has the best battery life, but the S5 has a replaceable one. The S5 undoubtedly has the better camera. You already have a least one Samsung (albeit a tablet - I don't know what else you have or had), so you're familiar with TouchWiz (which may sway you one way or the other, depending on your feelings about TouchWiz).

May I ask why you want the M8 so much?

If you are OK with the large size of the Note 4, it is definitely the best for productivity. Excellent camera, and the stylus will certainly help you when working with spreadsheets.
[General Topics] Soufiansky:
[MENTION=5749364]Planterz[/MENTION] The M8 for look and speed , very fast ui. And yes i have now a samsung tablet and had an S4 10months ago, so i'm familiar with touchwiz and i love it more on lollipop. So i guess i made my choice , i will take an S5 :p
[General Topics] s8freak:
Not a bad choice at all the S5 is a great device
[General Topics] simonbigwave:
I mentioned before, suggest Note 4 instead of M9. S6 mayb ok if you dont mind no external SD card. Note 4 bigger screen mayb better for spreadsheets?. And Note 4 display is better than M9 , in my opinion.

[General Topics] Planterz:
As much as I like my OnePlus One, I'll be skipping the OnePlus 2. In fact, I'd skip any device that has the Snapdragon 810. Too many reports of overheating issues. Qualcomm won't admit there's a problem, but Sony is working on an update for the Z3+/Z4 to add some thermal throttling, and HTC did the same with the M9. And LG went with the 2+4 hexacore 808 on the G4 because they had heat issues with the 810 on the Flex 2.

My next phone will be something huge with front facing speakers. I'd like the (rumored) Z4 Ultra, as I expect it'll be paper thin and be waterproof and with front facing speakers like the other recent Z series devices, but it's supposed to get the 810 like the Z4 Tablet and Z4/Z3+ phone does. If they stick with this, I might have to "settle" (OnePlus pun not intended) with a Nexus 6. But the Nexus 6 doesn't get very bright; it's dimmer than my S4, which I typically keep at max or near max brightness.

So, if I advise someone to buy a phone, I would say to this person to buy a S6 just for make this person have a phone that is good and have a premium design.
