    Default Samsung Galaxy s6

    http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s6-6849.php

    Coming out this month (at-least in the US)

    I have always been sort of a 'samsung fanboy' (just kidding but I love my s4) but the s6 won't have a microSD slot, and you can't remove the battery. Removable battery isn't a big deal to me, though I understand if your battery gets messed up it's easier to just buy another for $10 instead of paying $100 to sending it to samsung.

    But no microSD slot.... DEAL BREAKER. The one thing I loved the most about my s4 is the fact that I could put a microsd card in with all my movies and store apps on it. I don't see any point in spending a extra $200+(or whatever ridiculous markup there is) for 64 extra gigs.

    i've had an S4 for 2 years +- (until some weeks ago when i got it stolen at the UMF) and i've loved it, been a total fanboy. But S5 and S6 leave much to desire... No removable battery? no microSD? daf*ck?? Iphone is turning into samsung and samsung into apple... They are realeasing the same type of sh*t phones! Im looking into the oneplusone now..

    Am I the only one looking forward to Project Ara? I know it's Motorola... But still! Haven't we all dreamed about having a lego phone?

    So apparently S6 has the best phone camera out there atm... Which is very important to me, but the rest... All the people I know curse about Samsungs being laggy as hell, and I'm not a fan of lag, but I have to switch until summer! Idk what to do.

    By the way, won't it take long for Project Ara to receive other high-end parts from other manufacturers after it is going to be released? I'd say it will be a too long wait.

    apparently 'the cloud' is the new way to store stuff. I disagree.

    without the SD card slot you either

    1) Buy a model with more space (as in spending $100 for 32 gigs)
    2) Use cloud storage
    3) Suck it up

    I have opted for option 3 then I guess. But I am one of those people that like single use devices.

    want to see how that turns out.

    This is probably the only android phone I'd get.. Look at that design! Specs aren't bad either.

    Yea I would pre-order one but going to wait to see reviews.

    mmhmm I actually have a flip phone still as I'm down in server dungeons 24/7 and don't need a phone other than some texting and rarely phone calls

    the battery life of that is what catches my eye, the hardware obviously isn't "insane" but being able to buy it out right without issue + getting any phone carrier really makes it nice

    my current phone lasts like 1-2 weeks without charging it so going to a smartphone where it does twice a day would kill me.. that phone hopefully lasts its "multiple days"



    honestly though I wish the firefoxOS wasn't so closed down to be sold to poorer countries because that has more appeal to me than android really does

    might even mess around with putting debian on the phone

    Yes, I like samsung in all but competition is always good for the consumer... things can get real crappy when there is only 1 (practical) choice *cough* comcast *cough*

    I'd honestly say, depending on the reviews too, that the OnePlus looks better overall right now. It's still got an HD display and a high resolution camera. It is also really fast for a phone at 2.5GHz AND more battery than the Galaxy S6. It also as the option to add an SD card for more memory. I would buy the OnePlus unless the Galaxy S6 was way better on price or if the reviews on the OnePlus were bad.

    The Spectrum Aura has the biggest phone battery I've ever seen but isn't really the phone for me. It's about average speed(which really just depends on your budget) but I'm not really ever worrying about battery so long as it gets through the day.

    My personal pick order:
    OnePlus > Galaxy S6 > Aura

    Haven't heard anyone mention the HTC One M9 yet? I'm up for a new phone this summer and I was leaning towards it after hearing the M8 was really good. I don't really like Apple or Samsung, so the HTC seemed to fill everything I needed. The Aura looks way cheaper though and still has some pretty nice specs, so it might be worth a look then.

    Seems like the toughest decision when getting a new phone now is "what rage-inducing function do I want" instead of performance and whatnot.

    I was thinking about M9 but when it was unveiled... Nah. Camera lacks quality, even though it's 20.7MP, the design hasn't changed, they still left the black htc bar in the front and wasted a lot of space which could have been given to enlarge screen size while maintaining the actual size of the phone. S6 all the way! Even though I thought I would never go for a Samsung...

    HTC One M9 = Shadow clone jutsu of HTC One M8
    HTC One M8 = Shadow clone jutsu of HTC One M7, the last time they really made a huge leap.

    Nothing against HTC, but it's not even like they're trying.

    S6 turned me off when I heard about the battery and micro sd.
    Hopefully their note series can correct that, otherwise it's bye bye Samsung for me. Sucks too, since I've had my S4 for 2 years now, and I've grown so attached to it.

    Well damn, if the M9 is just more of the same, and the S6 is going to be basically an iPhone, I don't know what I'll end up with now... I guess I'll have to do some shopping in the summer when this contract is up.

    http://www.gizmag.com/htc-one-m9-vs-...-one-m7/36388/





    M9 - M8 - M7 in that order.

    From the looks of it, doesn't seem too appealing.
    My hopes are up for the Note 5 right now, although the transition from S4 to Note 5 in screen size would be ridiculous, if I were to purchase a phone.
    I've heard something about Sony and their Xperia line but, for the life of me, I can't remember what.

    Not sure about LG and whether they have removable batteries or micro SD cards, but one can pray.

    I can't understand it... The 4,000 battery is nice, but everything else is far below standard. Is it the design that you guys like so much? The specifications are very low.

    Current projects:
