[General Questions and Answers] :
Dual sim.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
In terms of performance, the OPO is definitely the best, followed by the Z1, Moto X, and Moto G, in that order. The Z1 has some features that might make it more desirable than the OPO, such as waterproofness, dedicated camera button, and microSD card slot. The Moto X 2013 is a very comfortable phone and is very compact - a stark contrast to the OPO and Z1, which are both quite a bit larger. It depends on if you want a bigger phone or not. I wouldn't bother with the Moto G unless you're really on a tight budget, but if you're considering the OPO, I'm guessing you're not. Especially since a Z1 or Moto X 2013 isn't much more expensive than the 2014 Moto G.

The OnePlus One is extremely customizable. It's essentially a Nexus 5.5 in that regard. Reliability depends on the ROM you choose. CM11S is very stable, as are many 4.4.4 ROMs. I use LiquidSmooth myself. I haven't tinkered yet with any Lollipop ROMs yet (official or otherwise), so I can't really speak for them.

Get the OnePlus One. I did, and I love mine.
[General Questions and Answers] extrem0:
I 2nd that! I'm using euphoria Os 1.1. It's very stable but battery life on lollipop isn't as good as it was on kitkat. I was having +6 hours SOT on CM11S and on lollipop I get around 5 hours.
[General Questions and Answers] buggs1a:
Hi. I currently have the Verizon Galaxy S5 on Kit Kat 4.4.4. I'm looking to go to tmo for WiFi calling and other stuff. I'm looking at the One M9, S6, G3. I can't decide. Each has their pros and cons. And making decisions is one of the hardest things for me in my life. I know of the G4.

One thing I'm looking for is to have a darker ui. I don't like Lolipop being so white. I know each phone has themes but not sure if I like much of them.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] gandel75:
M9 vs S6

Same as Buggs1a before me. I'm currently on the fence about weather to get an S6 or the One M9. From previous iterations of the phones the HTC seems to be the better choice (apparently mobile doesn't slow down as much over time). But I'm told that the S6 seems to be the better one out of the 2 this time around. Also considering the fact that the first update the M9 received since the launch reduced the clock speed of the CPU to stop the overheating issue. Since I'm a noob in these matters, i thought I'd ask.

I'm not exactly sure of the update cycles for Samsung whereas HTC has a 2 year update program for their flagships.

Any suggestions would be a great help!

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] buggs1a:
I just got the T-Mobile m9. Just thought I'd give it a try. It seems nice. Not used it much yet. Has not gotten warm and just did the software update also.

But play store keeps telling me to log in before it will work. Don't know how when it's always automatic.

and chrome lags when flicking my finger up or down on web pages to scroll.

[General Questions and Answers] sireniankyle:
Going to the AT&T store today, because my international Note 4 (Exynos) is getting poor signal at my house. I want something that I can mod, has a good screen, timely updates, and plenty of memory. So far the 6 Plus seems to be the only one stepping up. Any help would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] gandel75:
What is so wrong with the S6? I see that the body is now glass, which to me is stupid. But it seems the mobile is one of the better ones from samsung recently... would you recommend the M9 over the S6?

i prefer the m9 over the m8 due to the improved camera.

Or would you suggest i wait for the M9+?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
The S6 certainly has its qualities, no arguing that. But until the S6/S6 Edge (and some of the A series before them), Samsung was giving their customers 2 key features that many other manufacturers have been moving away from: microSD card slots and removable batteries. LG didn't have either with their G2, but listened to their customers' demands and the G3 and G4 both have SD card slots and removable batteries. HTC added the slot for the M8 that they didn't have in the M7. Sony has a card slot on all their devices. Motorola at least has slots on their cheaper phones with minimal storage like the Moto G and E. Meanwhile, Samsung offered both.

The S6/Edge however, has neither. This is alienating a lot of their formerly loyal customers. Want a lot of storage? $100-200 more, please (ala Apple). Battery toast? Gotta send it in for repair (with a hefty bill) or buy a new phone. No more 16/32gb with a $30 64gb microSD cards, no more $12 replacement batteries. Sure, the S6 is slim and sexy, but many would prefer the boring plastic if it meant they could have their card slots and hot-swappable batteries.

Tough choice. I'd probably prefer the S6 between these 2. Sony Z4 or Saygus V2 over both.

It's entirely possible that the proposed M9+ might not make it out of Taiwan or the Asian market.
[General Questions and Answers] gandel75:
The Z4 isnt out in Australia yet. As far as it goes, it might have launch problems like the M9.

I've had the Xperia V for 2 years now. Its laggy and usable at times to me. (Partially cuz of the ROM i guess, battery lasts 6 hours max on 3G)

with Samsung i don't really know how much time impacts system performance. (I "heard" it deteriorates rapidly). HTC seems to be way better in that aspect.
[General Questions and Answers] Mayex:
OPO vs G3

Hello friends. I have been using my OPO for 7 months. Few weeks ago touch issues appeared.

Now I'm going through RMA process and I'm wondering of selling received OPO to buy something else is good idea.

OPO is great, but after that touch problems I lost trust to it.

I thought about LG G3.

It has great camera (which is important to me), good battery, IR, removable battery, expandable storage and is little bit smaller. It has also CM official nightlies, so maybe there won't be problem with custom roms (I really like CM, and custom roms).

What do you think? Is there someone who switched from OPO to G3 or vice versa?
[General Questions and Answers] :
I haven't done the switch you mentioned before, but whenever I recommend phones to people in this thread, the LG G3 is one of my top recommendations, next to the HTC One M8 and M9. It has all of the things you mentioned and more, with very few hardware/software bugs and lots of neat and usable features. Definitely one of your best choices! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Mayex:
How about performance? Doesn't QHD slow down snapdragon 801? 801 in OPO's FHD does petty well, but QHD is twice more pixels to push.
[General Questions and Answers] :
In all my experience and reviews from other users, the LG G3's overall performance is very good.

5. Redmi 2

Any other suggestions? Which will be the best out of these or any other fone u suggest me to buy??
[General Questions and Answers] Hannah Stern:
To provide you the best Answer, i need following Information from you:

How much do you want to pay?

Which Specifications are more Important for you? (Camera/Design/etc...)?

Has it to be Waterproof?

The S6's Camera has got 16 MP, but it's better than the M9's Camera, because it can stay at lower ISO-Light-Sensivities with longer Exposure time, because of the OIS.

The M9 has got the Best Loudspeakers, but the Main Camera's low-light-performance is quite bad, the M9's Selfie-Camera has got a good Low-Light Performance, because it's got this Ultrapixel, but it's only got 4 MP, it has the same Sensor, as the M8's Main Camera.

In addition, the M9+ offers the DuoCam.

The S5 was waterproof.... The S6 not.

Because of the Short-Circuit-Proof Hardware, it can resist water very long, but water can go in, and damage the device.

What is more Important for you?

MicroSD

Removable Battery

Camea

Design (Materials)

Water Protection

Screen Size

> Also take a look at the LG G4. :)

I hope this helped. Have a nice day... ;)

Also take a look at the LG G4 with it's beautiful Camera!

I hope this helped.
[General Questions and Answers] ShadowGX:
Maybe you guys can help me, though I think I'm settling on the S6. I made a thread here with my concerns, but in short my concerns are the following:

1. Which version will allow me to switch freely between AT&T and Verizon if need be?

- Am on Straight Talk using AT&T now since it is cheaper, but I may need to switch back to Verizon quickly since it's better in my area if I get switched to a client where AT&T service is bad.

2. Which version, if any, has a working mobile hotspot out-of-the-box or with very little tweaking?

- I read that the Verizon one will work with FoxFi and haven't found anything on the AT&T version. After reading more though, I'm unsure if that just pertains to the regular S6, the Edge or both.

After reading around some more I'm even more confused. There's apparently a difference in compatibility with certain things on the regular S6 and the Edge, not just which carrier has their brand on the phone. I'm not set on getting the Edge if it can't do what I need it to. I don't care about rooting, I just want the hotspot to work without a bunch of fuss.
[General Questions and Answers] gandel75:
S6 and M9 outright is around 980 AUD (USD 775). I ideally want to get it on a plan with my provider but i will buy outright if i need to.

I'd like a decent camera. but design is important (I'll be spending long hours staring at it after all :D )

Being waterproof isn't required. I tend to not take my mobile near sources of water anyways. As long as it can survive being used in slight drizzles.

If the mobile comes with 64GB space at-least, then ill survive without a Micro SD.

I only remove the batteries when the mobile is frozen. So I guess that would depend on the processor? The only other time I'd need to remove the battery is probably when messing about with 3rd party ROMs.

As for the camera, I'm not terribly fussy for cameras. But if you say the S6 is better, then i believe it.

I liked the M9 over the S6 because of the aluminum body (I feel that's less likely to shatter when i drop it eventually ;) )

As, stated before, if it can survive a bit if rain, then ill be alright. I never tested the waterproof rating of my Xperia V and I'm not going to start now :)

4.5" + please

G4 isn't out in Australia yet and when it eventually does, I have no idea if the carriers are gonna get it. :(

And thank you very much for helping out. I really appreciate it :D

[General Questions and Answers] Hannah Stern:
Camera:

Megapixels aren't the only thing, that makes a Camera Better.

The M9 has a 4K-Recording Limit of 6 Minutes, while the S6 has a 5-Minute-Limit.

The S6 has got Optical image Stabilisation, and it's low-light-performance is better anyway.

The Camera of the S6 also has a higher speed.

The M9's Back-Camera-Low-Light Performance is quite bad.The Selfiecam's Low-Light-Performance is better, because it uses the Same UltraPixel sensor as known from the M8's Primary (Main) Camera.

The M9+ has got DuoCam as known from the One M8.

For the first time as a phone not made by Apple, the S6 (the M9 does not) does record slow-motion-video like this: http://xdaforums.com/general/general/slow-motion-phones-device-how-to-imo-t2998500

But both have Slow-Motion, the S6 records it in Real-Time with Sound. The M9 does not.

Waterproofity:

In TechRax's (or was it TechSmartt?) S6 and M9 Water Test, S6 and M9 survived about 22~23 Minutes without a sign of System Weakness or Failure.

But while the Water Test, the S6's Battery lost energy Quickly, 1 percent in 30 Seconds...

The M9 was unuseable after the Screen went of in 23 Minutes

The S6 had many Hardware and Charging Problems, but struggled to get on, and still worked OK or so...

Display:

HTC one M9: Like S4: FUllHD 1920 x 1080 @ 441 ppi

S6: 1440p (higher than FullHD 1080p) 1440 x 2560 @ 577 ppi.

Both Displays have got a good Colour-Quality.

If you'd like to have a more detailed Comparrison, simply ask me. ;)

Galaxy S5:

16 MP Camera - 4K Video Recording

5.1 Inch Screen with 1080p

MicroSD

Waterproof

Replaceable Battery

4G LTE

Battery run time: better than Average.

USB 3.0

But: No Radio

HTC One M8

Camera: Only 4 Megapixels but DuoCam and Superior Low-Light Performance

MicroSD

Radio

5-Inch 1080p-Display

No Replacable Battery

Not Waterproof

If you want a Screen Higher than 1080p, don't take the S6, because it's got no microSD.

Take a Look at:

Note 3

Note 4 (1440p Screen)

LG G3 and G4

Oppo Find 7

Xperia Z1, Z2, Z3 (all Waterproof) (Z4: Coming Soon)

4G LTE is now Standard on Most Phones.

I listed many phones. To be more accurate:

Please tell me a few more details, you want:

Screen Size

Camera

Design

Tell me, as much as Possible, about what you'd like to have in your phone.

The older Flagship Smartphones are getting Cheaper.

Is Dual-Sim Really Neccesary? (It's hard to find a device, which has Dual-Sim.)

2 Suggestions:

Note 3 Neo Duos - Not to Change with the original (better but more expensive) Note 3 - 720p 5.7''- Screen, Dual-Sim and Camera is OK. + S-Pen

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 or N7105 with LTE. 5.5"-HD-Inch-Screen and S-Pen

LG G3 S (LG G3 without S is LG's old Flagship, but it's too expensive.)

Xperia Z or Z1 (Z hasn't got such a good Battery Runtime and the Battery isn't replacable but the Phone is Waterproof.)

Galaxy S3 and S4 - No Dual-Sim but good Cameras and old Flagships, now they're cheap. Screen is around 5 Inches.

If there are too much phones in my suggestion list (sorry :eek:), please list more accurate details.

Must the battery be Removable?

Is 5.5 Inch Still OK for you?

Is MicroSD, Radio, DualSIM and Physical Shutter Button nessecary for you?

Water-Resistant

Camera is OK, has Digital but no Optical Image Stabilisation. + 4K-Recording

MicroSD is also on Board

Battery is OK and Replacable. 2800 mAh.

Very Robust

Sony Xperia Z1 or Z2:

High Processing Performance

Camera has good Digital Image Stabilisation but no Optical IS.

Z2: 4K Video Recording (but Quality of 4K isn't very good.)

aprx. 5 Inch FullHD-Screen with Bravia Engine 3.

Waterproof

But Battery isn't replacable

Z1: 2GB Ram and Z2: 3 GB RAM

MicroSD

Also Take a Look at:

LG G3 S

Galaxy S5 Mini

(4.6 Inch)

Galaxy S4

(got very Cheap and has 5 Inch Screen but no OIS-Camra, battery runtime is superior on Android Jelly Bean 4.3.)

HTC One M7 (OIS Camera but no MicroSD. Battery Runtime is Avarage.)

Sony Xperia Z - lower than average Battery Runtime but quite cheap and OK.
