It is with pain that I've sold my LG G3 D855, great looking and powerfull phone, but with the locked bootloader and the current unstable LG software, I decided to sell it and I've now ordered the Oneplus One.
I really like to have control over MY phone and the LG G3 I felt limited to what I could do with it, specially knowing that the phone had the possibilities to do so much more and be a lot more stable/fast, I paid for the phone, I want to use the way I want to, not the way LG wants me to... Let me know if I'm the only one that feels this way about your G3?
Now waiting for the OPO and looking at the forums here, it is exactly what I need, a fast, customizable phone, that does not lose warranty by unlocking the bootloader.
I'll let you know when I get it, how I feel about it, compared to the G3.
You are overdramatizing things. The unlock will happen, in time. Go post in the OPO forums .
I dont care....
No one cares
I had the OnePlusOne... Multiple times. It's a great phone as well. The phone is a phablet and if that is what you want then go for it. But the yellow tint on the bottom of the screen kills it for me on the OPO.
I've had both. The OPO is a great phone in theory, but if you ever need warranty or service support, you may never get it. I tried to contact support multiple times and they never replied. You really do get what you pay for. You'll get great hardware, but zero support. A warranty isn't worth anything if the company won't actually respond.

I can never keep a phone for over a month, was expecting that the G3 would change this by doing everything I wanted it to, didn't happen, lol, so a month later and going to try a different phone now, still waiting for the perfect fit... having this said, the Warranty is not an issue, if I don't like it, I'll sell it and then comes the next one, but really hope that the OPO will be good enough to keep.
From all the phones I had (HTC One X, BB Z10, BB Q5, BB Z30, HTC One M7, Samsung S4, LG G2, Pantech Vega Iron, Note 2, Xperia Z, Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and recently LG G3 (not in order of purchase)), the one that I keep going for, is the HTC One M7, but the screen is too small and the pink tint on the photos just puts me off every time, but in terms of stability and speed, it's always smooth and a lot of support from the developer community, making a fun phone to play with.
Get a nexus device if you want complete control! Boot unlock will come just patients is key!

If i sold my G3, it would only be for a Note 4 for two reasons.
1. Samsung usually (maybe always?) releases their products up here in canada with unlocked bootloaders, this is my first LG phone i owned in canada and i wasn't really thinking the bootloader was going to be locked, but it is Samsung 1 // LG 0
2. just theoretically thinking here, but since the snapdragon 805 has 40% increased gpu performance/efficency, just underclock that shiznit around 40% and you could theoretically get up to 40% increased power savings over the snapdragon 801 with the same performance as the 801, this could result in some MASSIVE screen on time over the G3. Samsung 2 // LG 0
The thing that really makes me preferring the G3>Note 4 is the form factor & the skinny bezels.
I know the note 4 is the same size as the note 3 and it's just too big, the G3 basically despite nearly having the same size screen feels like a phone and i can use it with 1 hand no matter what i'm doing.
Where as the note 4 does not feel like a phone at all, it definitely feels like a phablet and most of the time it takes 2 hands to operate properly which is a serious downside considering you basically lose 1 handed use for 0.2 inches of screen. this for me is like +3 points to LG forreal, which is why i'm probly gonna keep the G3. Samsung 2 // LG 3
Although i still want my custom kernels & roms really bad and it may drive me to sell my G3 for the Note 4... *Cough* all you LG devs reading this... which i know you are.

Forgot to mention, that I also had a Nexus 5, but compared to the OPO, the OPO has a lot better specs and a unlocked bootloader as well, so this is the reason for the OPO
I'm not a very patient person, that is a flaw of mine, that is why I sold it, could not wait anymore...

I would like to have the Note 4, but it is way to expensive :s maybe in a 6months when the price drops I'll give it a go...
Now, an update about the OPO, still don't have it, really thought I was going to get it today, but no, ordered on the 20th with express delivery, which was supposed to be delivered between 1 and 3 days, well, third day is gone and still no OPO =( really unhappy, at the moment using my backup Galaxy Nexus, lol...

The one plus one looks like a pretty nice device, If i couldn't have a G3 or a Note 4 i would so go for the one plus one :highfive: maybe i'll get a Note 4 and not like it and end up with a one plus one, who knows haha.
It could be worse, and do like i did one time. I ordered overnight delivery payed like $30 so my product would be 1 day enstead of the free 3 day delivery or w/e it was and i didn't realize the burst of holidays and it took longer than 3 days anyways and still cost me $30 hahaha. Damn did i ever feel retarded when i did that
I also had a Oneplus One. I had multiple dead pixels, the yellow band on the bottom, and a broken vibrate motor. After trying to get a hold of customer service, I was finally able to get a RMA, but getting that cleared took another week. I got tired of the problems I had and all the software glitches that were going on and ended up selling the phone. The G3, to me, is a much superior and solid phone
Please close this thread...it is taking space....
Lets compare zenfone 2 with one plus one ...
Does zenfone2 oustands oneplus one? ( the 2014 flagship killer)
Or still lags behind the oneplus one which the older 32 bit hardware.
They're both as powerful but ZenFone 2 as ZenUI. And this make the difference for me.
However, if I had to judge the company, OnePlus will be far away ahead of Asus.
Because, let's face it, OnePlus has built an awesome phone wich is still a year later a flagship killer, whereas Asus, for the same price, build a phone that has the same specs and an Intel processor... They failed, and I don't think they will sell as many Zenfone 2 ZE551ML as Oneplus sold OnePlus One
well to each his own haha.. personally i prefer the intel chip for its better web performance.. not to mention the zf2 is cheaper than the OPO
the thing im missing here is the lack of CM and custom roms.. but hopefully its just a matter of time

Intel is good and fast and as relaible as qualcomm
The missing thing is core managent .. As all cores are always online .. .
And yess custom roms should not be much away. .
But the doubt arises when we look at the previous models like zf5 or zf6 which do not have a xda forum as well...
I hope there is developmnt ... Bcoz i cant live with zenui all the time ...
I lovee tweaking the romz

Intel is fine but has a x86 architecture which makes it harder to have custom ROMS. And ZF5 and 6 were not as powerful as the ZenFone 2

Yes of course but first, I really love the Never Settle mind from OnePlus whereas Asus is just a company like others...
And then in France, ZenFone 2 was announced on March 31th, and it was immediately available for sale. However, shipments really started on April 20th and only in Silver and Red. Black and Gold ZF2 have been delayed.
So I bought on April 12th a black ZenFone 2 on the Asus eShop
1) It was written at this time "shipped before May 6th"
2) Asus Shop didn't give me any information. All I got was coming from French Asus CM on Twitter, and very often, his informations were wrong and incomplete
3) Finally, after more than 1 month waiting, on May 18th, they send me an email telling me that they were unable to send me the black ZE551ML and that they will give my money back. The solution they gave me was to buy a new one in Silver and they gave me an indemnification which was a View FlipCover Deluxe that I already have.
4)I asked them for an another indemnification and they told me Sorry not possible. But they could have known it because I ordred the cover at their store.
5) Finally, I ordered the new one on May 20th, on May 21st I received an email to tell me that the Black so the first one was shipped. So what do I do ? Should I cancel my order ? Then I will loose the poor indemnification...
6)For each email that I send them, it need 1-2 working days to get an answer, and their phone number is charged !
So, with all that stuff, I think that I can say that Asus and particularly their eShop is just incompetent, and I think that if I ordered a OnePlus One I would have already received it.
Moreover, my previous phone was a Nexus 5 and Google support was great.

Bro u dont know how bad the service of oneplus one is in india ...
A minor defect needs 3 months at service centre ...
And a broken screen costs more than 70% of amount of oneplus one ..
So i think going with asus is a better option for people in india
And soon i think devs will start developing roms for zf2 and it could do wonders ..
More over samsung in one of its tablets to be released in futured has used a high end. Intel chipset...

Indeed I hope that we will receive developpers attention, maybe CM !!! :fingers-crossed:
I would like to add that when the OPO was launched, it was nearly impossible to get one. Just few people managed to get invitations and buy one. And it makes only one month since we can buy it without an invitation.
The Zenfone 2 had some problems to be launched because of the big demand, but all people who pre-ordered it before 10 april (day of the official launch) received it one month after their order. But It was a way easier to get than the OPO.
Moreover i'd like to point out that according to rumors about the OnePlus 2, the Asus Zenfone 2 is quite the same product, because (again according to rumors) the OP2 is the same as the OPO except the processor.
In my opinion, the Zenfone 2 is a way better product than the OnePlus One.
I came from OnePlus... and I don't regret my decision...
OnePlus has the worst customer service department.

OnePlus was great with marketing and built a powerful phone, but that's it. It took forever for it to actually be available.
Zenfone 2 will smoke OnePlus One in sales. It won't even be close as Asus is available retail internationally and actually have the clout, presence nd wherewithal to supply the demand.
As to custom ROMs etc... These will come. Zenfone 2 is barely out the gate.

ASUS announced at the 5/19 that sales were at 10MM. OPO sold about a million as of a few months ago.
I had touchscreen problem with OPO since the day I got the phone and their customer service is beyond horrible so IMO Zf2 is already miles ahead of OnePlus.
I've had both since before either launch... And I can say that honestly it's a matter of preference.
They both perform really well, and they're both great phones.
There's no way to say that one flat-out beats the other. Specs are great and all, but the user experience is different, but can be changed based on which ROM/launcher is used.

As long as you get an OPO without lemon touchscreen, the experience is largely comparable.
Battery life and performance are extremely similar.
OPO Pros:
- capacitive keys light up
- better power button placement
- much better developer support
- better display
- louder speakers
- better brightness range
Zf2 pros:
- DSDA
- cheaper
- Quick charging
- Better accessories
- expandable storage
- extra gig of RAM
- better digitizer
The camera quality is a wash. They're quite similar and OPO technically has the better quality sensor but the overall camera software and experience is probably Zf2.
Performance and hardware... Again, largely a wash. The Zf2 technically has the slightly better and faster hardware and more RAM but in practice I imagine the greater ARM optimization due to familiarity levels things.
The quality of the display is better in the OPO and the brightness range is greater but the digitizer tech on that phone completely blows. Very outdated, one crack renders the whole panel useless.
The OPO dual speaker (but still mono) setup gets appreciably louder than Zf2 but since both speakers face the same direction, a holding hand can muffle the sound somewhat more easily than Zf2 back facing speaker.
The capacitive buttons on OPO light up, which is very useful. And the developer support is the best available on Android outside of Nexus devices.
I'm not sure why but the Zf2 is more comfortable to hold in hand than the OPO. I can easily use both one handed but for some reason the slightly shorter (yet slightly thicker and wider) Zf2 is more comfortable than OPO in hand.
OPO feels slightly more premium to me (faux aluminum band I s'pose). Both lack barometers and wireless charging. Zf2 charges a helluva lot faster.
In practice, I've found the Zf2 a better daily driver simply because it's more reliable from a hardware standpoint (I had so many problems with touch recognition on my OPO and typing was a pain) and its thermal performance is much, much, much better. OPO would heat up and throttle often. Zf2 performs in the summer temp and sun much better, throttling far less.
Unless the software experience of open device like OPO is must have, I would definitely recommend Zf2 over it ten times out of ten.
I have both devices.
Zenfone 2 is nice. Love the screen. 4GB of RAM is alright with me!
64GB of storage is plenty for my needs and the price is right at $299 USD.
So far as far as performance they both seem to be about neck and neck.
Camera in my humble "opinion" seems better on the Zenfone 2.
Custom ROMs/bleeding edge ROMs on the OPO is nice and seems to have a nice amount of development.
ZenUI is just OK to me. Google Now launcher went on my Zenfone 2 right away.
Either phone is a great deal for their respective prices.
Win + Win = Win
Customer service from OnePlus has proven a challenge in the past but seems to be getting better daily.
I really don't think either phone is any better than the other. It really is just a matter of taste. For $50 more for the OPO I wouldn't feel hurt spending that over the Zenfone 2 it is still a great phone and has been my daily driver since last July.
I'm still "test driving" the Zenfone 2 and I am impressed with it so far. Only trivial complaint I have is the Asus software/bloat included. It isn't offensive since the phone is easily rooted and Titanium Backup freezes stuff just fine!
Edit:
Don't believe the hype about 5.5" screen on a 5" frame.... This 5.5" phone is actually a little bit bigger than the OnePlus One although you wouldn't notice it unless holding them side by side
OnePlus One battery life totally wins hands down.. No matter what ROM I use, stock, custom etc. Battery life is fairly weak on the Zenfone 2 considering the size of the battery. Thank god for speedy charging

So your friend might be lucky. I will not say that the OnePlus 2 is full of bugs, but he has some.
-Fingerprint scanner doesn't work very well for me;
-The processor (even if it is the "version 2.0" as OnePlus claims) can be hot sometimes;
-One point that make me very hungry is the fact that OnePlus doesn't release sources yet: ROM development is, because of it, very long: watch at G3 or G4, they already have a fully CM13, compare to the OnePlus Two (even with great works form developers) still doesn't have all features present (Fingerprint, Laser Autofocus, where are you?).
Of course the Oneplus Two is a great phone, but not the flagship killer claimed by OnePlus.
I bought it 'cause of the invite' system, but I was stupid. Think about twice before buy it, and watch phones from other companies.

1- You don't know how to scan your finger then. It works great, almost 99% of the times.
2- Phones get got, this isn't the exception, my nexus 5 gets a LOT hotter, and i have read that lg g3 heats a lot. I use it with modified thermal file (original is crap) and it works amazing and there is absolutely no throttle. Not even after 30m or more of heavy gaming!
3- You are right in this. But I guess they will release the source with marshmallow, in February probably.
Upgrade, you won't regret, and if you flash custom kernels and use modified thermal files you will discover the true power of this phone.

Does the OP2 have Marshmallow yet? I installed stock MM on my G3 and it did wonders to the phone. A lot smoother, better battery life and only gets hot when I play cpu/gpu intensive games. Funny how G3 has a heavy skin and got MM before OP2, which is basically stock android with small extras.

It doesn't have any fingerprint problem. Of course if you scan only one part of your finger and don't try every possibly position while scanning it won't recognize your finger when you try to unlock, because it doesn't save the position you are trying. That's logical, but some people think that they put the center of the finger and then it will recognize it in every position.

I know how to scan my finger man, move it around to scan every "side" of my finger. But, well, if you know better than me how to scan your fingerprint and you have a OnePlus Two that matches every time, I'm happy for you, but I won't discuss about it anymore.

You have a G3? Well, I had (and still have) a G2 before my OnePlus 2, I'm very disapointed about it. You should stay with your G3 or go for aa G4.

I had G2, G3 and G4 as well, sold G4 to buy OnePlus 2? i don't Why you are disappointed? May be added Ram, or near stock bloat free OS, metal and premium or added finger bring scanner, or capacitive buttons to have larger screen hurting you? i am curious to know? i could not find out much difference, kindly don't tell me about camera, casual user is not optical expert here, both phones captures fine photos!
The fingerprintsensor is working fine for me too. The homebutton once had problems, in an earlier version of OxygenOS. But that is already history.
No one was disrespectful to you

So your friend might be lucky. I will not say that the OnePlus 2 is full of bugs, but he has some.
-Fingerprint scanner doesn't work very well for me;
-The processor (even if it is the "version 2.0" as OnePlus claims) can be hot sometimes;
-One point that make me very hungry is the fact that OnePlus doesn't release sources yet: ROM development is, because of it, very long: watch at G3 or G4, they already have a fully CM13, compare to the OnePlus Two (even with great works form developers) still doesn't have all features present (Fingerprint, Laser Autofocus, where are you?).
Of course the Oneplus Two is a great phone, but not the flagship killer claimed by OnePlus.
I bought it 'cause of the invite' system, but I was stupid. Think about twice before buy it, and watch phones from other companies.

Well, how well you want it to work dude? it cant work with just intention without moving finger, place your finger in right direction it will work 95% or more time, once a day you can place your finger twice, don't lose heart due tot his There is no processor which will keep phone from getting hot if extensively used , i sold G4, you talk about CM13 and other roms working? it had no proper or easy root if you dont have one specific EU H815 model, and very few people have that, for others you have to do 500 steps, dont talk about roms, its as easy as Nexus for OP2.
Customs Roms in LG G4 wont bring finger print scanner either dude so relax and if scanner is dear to you, leave ROMS and use stock rom like a good boy
There is no phone that is called flagship killer, its just a catchy tag line, every phone has give and take, there is no perfect phone, just make sure which ever model you have, your unit is faulty.
The OPT isva really good phone, its not a great phone. No issues with fingerprint sensor here, the phone only gets warm when I wipe and flash. Oxygen OS isn't pure adroid, it cut back on s lot of features but if you like to root your phone then xposed module will fill in that gap. Custom roms are coming as soon as marshmallow is released all the 5.1 roms will be upgraded. The alert slider is a nice touch and having laser focus is almost a must nowadays. For the price it cant really be beat unless you drop down to the Moto X Pure that u will pay more for. Though on the other hand the G4 price is coming down and that really is a great phone.
Personally I'd go with the discounted nexus 5x (if its available in your country, it went down 50$ in the us). I'm very underwhelmed by the OnePlus 2. I've had bad issues with my bamboo back, the charger, oxygen os (paranoid android is fantastic, however), and also the processor. My battery life is pretty goof, but significantly worse than my OnePlus one. In addition, I don't understand why people are saying this phone doesn't have fingerprint issues. Of course it does, the manufacturing is ridiculously inconsistent. I know 4 people who personally own the OnePlus 2 and of this 4 there are 3 (including myself) with fingering issues. One only has the home button (no fingerprint) working, one has one that is very inconsistent, mine is 100% broken, and the last persons is flawless. When mine worked it was fantastic, don't get me wrong, but tons of people have had issues with it.

Nexus 5X 32GB is 450 euros here, while LG G4 is around 430.
I'm interested in this phone but I'm not sure if I should get it. Currently I have a s6 edge plus on tmobile and read that this phone supports the band's if I get the global version

I truly need Dual SIM for lot of international travel..this is one of the few or only phone that supports 4G/3G dual sim standby. I have heard on T-Mobile even VoLTE works (I am on ATT, don't ask if not for their coverage i would have switched)..but the only band missing is 66 which T-Mobile is planning to roll out, but it would be ages for that to be widely deployed, and by that time you can get Mi Note 3 ..
Hi,
As far as I am concerned, I would stay away from this phone
It's really nice... on paper !
But real life looks quite different.
First, despite having cloase specs to the Xiaomi mi5s Plus, I could compare them both side by side : in EVERY aspect, the mi Note 2 is beaten by it's Xiaomi sibbling.
Second, the display is simply a catastrophy... unless you really like blueish displays and ****ty view angles. It's AMOLED. The Xiaomi mi5s Plus which has IPS doesn't suffer from that.
Third, the GPS is lazy, always showing you 10 meters behind where you really are. Here again, the mi5s Plus is much more accurate !
It might be that I have got a defective device. But at least about the display, I had the exact same symptoms on the OP3 I got the very first day it was released
SO I guess : AMOLED might offer really random performance
Regards
My husband bought us mi note 2's. We have owned them for 4 months. I personally have no plans on buying another u.s. marketed cell phone. I highly recommend the mi note 2. I have the 128GB storage phone.

Just to give my experience so people seeing this don't immediately think this phone is awful... I've had mine (Global 6GB/128GB) for about a week and it's been great. Last phone was a Nexus 6P but I'm liking this much more. The display isn't as high resolution as the 6P but that is only really noticeable when reading small text. I don't have any issue with the display being "blueish" or poor viewing angles. GPS is also fine for me so I'm wondering if you did get a defective unit.
Get the phone you won't be disappointed. I have had the global edition for a couple of months and it poops on anything else .. Side by side with the Samsung S8 and this phone looks pretty much the same. It is not as fast as an S8, but then costs half as much, and it has loads more memory, dual SIMs, is still one of the fastest phones out there, and the display is plenty good enough. Maybe not the phone you should get if you find blowing ROMs exciting but if you want a phone that works really well out of the box this is it. The benchmarks appear to be better for the international edition so get that one, with 128gb. Remember that Xiaomi make more phones than Apple so you can bet it is going to be a solid product.
If the poster above actually owned the phone they would be competent enough to flip into the settings and adjust the screen settings to warm if they want a warmer looking screen. You can also set the screen to remove blue light at night if you want that sort of thing.
I am running dual SIMs with no issues internationally.. 4g is fast. The front end is Miui which is a bit quirky but has a bunch of good features built in.. And, having a 4000ma battery you can get a couple of days use out of the phone between charge on light use. The GPS is really good, helped by the fact that most of the phone is glass. So you get a fix real fast. Best phone I have ever owned for sat nav in a car. The GPS doesn't suck the battery dry either.
Camera is good, not brilliant but it's better than many Chinese phones. I am comparing to a DSLR which costs twice as much as the phone so probably a bit unfair! Double the resolution of the S8 phone...
This isn't a hacker phone.. It is a good phone that just works and has an interesting launcher with good features to help you control your privacy and battery use.. Usually the things you need to root your phone for.. With this phone you don't need to root to do that, and that is really handy. I do actually own this phone so feel free to ask questions

I've had mine for going into three months now. I'm in the US using T-Mobile and I've had only one issue with it so far (I have a few issues taking calls on a wired headphones). Overall, really satisfied with it.
Is it still worth getting in 2017? Any problems now!
screen and camera mediocre.
I just got mine and going to start using it. Initial impressions, it's a BEAUTY. The black one is a SEXY monolith. Very minimal in curves and subtle in design. Nothing jazzy. The bad part - Only the screen/display. Yes the resolution is a little less. But honestly, you wouldn't even notice it. 6GIGs OF RAM DUDEE! What else do you need? And 128 is more than enough. For that price, you will usually compromise on something or the other with other phones, not this one.
I currently own an S6 Edge+ and the battery has degraded heavily so I am currently looking for a new phone and this one looks very promising, but will it get Android Oreo?

Of course it will. Any Custom Rom can do the trick.. Just save money ..
Mi Note 2 worths it !
I have a discount code for today for this device at 220 euros and I am really wondering if it's worth it. It's the 6/64gb version.

I would say it is worth that price. In.my opinion , it beats every phone under 220 euros.

Gearbest. I can also get it for 217 euros. but after using my credits.
Without credits, you can get it for 230 euro
I just love that phone.
I have this phone for month now and it great, fast, stable, no heating, great battery life. After all I think its worth baying this phone.
I confirm I got this phone few days ago from Gearbest, paid it 213€ with shipment included. I will now request bootloader unlocking so I can add root. I am planning to keep stock MIUI, really hoping it's going to get MIUI 9 before christmas.

Actually , it is . Mi Note 2 has already Miui 9 in nightly realease state for the global rom .
I have the S7 Edge a year now and still am pretty much satisfied with overall performance, camera, GPS during navigation etc. Sometimes the external sd card isn't recognized, which kinda sucks (it is then recognized again after some time without doing anything), but this is actually throwing me off a bit from the S7 Edge and I was looking around what to get as my next phone, probably without external SD card and with bigger internal storage (128 GB preferable). I always rooted but haven't done it with the S7-edge, as I didn't felt I needed it anymore (performance is great and battery life also, even without flashing any different kernel).
I was looking into different phones to dump the S7 Edge:
Oneplus 5: camera seems not to be so good, compared to the S7 Edge (no OIS on the Oneplus 5). And camera is very important to me.
The S8 plus was also an option, but seems not much of an upgrade.
The Note 8 still only has 64GB storage.
Not to sure how the HTC u11 is, never had an HTC phone, only Samsung (Galaxy S1, S2, S4 and now the S7-edge).
Also had some Google Nexus phones, so maybe the next Pixel phone might be an option (unfortunately they are really pricey).
What are you guys are planning to get after the S7 Edge?
one plus 5 is really good it has insane charging speed and overall in speed tests beats galaxy s8 and all other phones its a powerhouse. pixel 2 will be probabyl good but super expensive. LG V30 idk yet, note 8 is too big for me. The Essential phone is pretty insane but $699 and its not out yet.
but at this point i cant live without AOD and wireless charging so I will probably get S8 next
I plan on keeping mine for quite a bit longer. Honestly, at this point buying anything else would be for aesthetics only, as processors and ram are not really moving anywhere that much better.

Unfortunately I think your right, not much of an improvement, except for the Oneplus 5. The Pixel 2 is rumored to be the first phone to have the next snapdragon processor, which might be the next step in terms of speed / performance, also having pure Android is nice and the modder community usually is great. But the price might be insane (look at the current Pixel price, it's still very high).

The trade offs to owning a oneplus 5 for me are not worth the minimal speed gains imo.
Probably wait for the S9 plus. I really love my S7E.
Probably switching things up. Im looking at the new nokia 8 but its camera isnt as good as it could be.
Ill see the nokia 9 ever comes. Otherwise ill wait for something better.
I would love a Pixel 2 but price will be too high for me. And also a bezel-less phone ..like the essential!
No idea. I tend to keep my phone's for a long time. I don't get the upgrade every year thing. I just upgraded from a Nexus 5 a few months ago, and that was only because the camera sucks too bad and I needed more storage. If not for that I would probably have still kept it. It's still plenty fast enough. I expect I'll be using my s7 edge for at least another 3 years.

Wow, must admit I got a new phone every year for the last 3 or 4 years, but with the S7 Edge I am to satisfied to get a new phone or let's say I am to unimpressed by everything which came out since then. Just feel that there isn't any real step up from there, especially regarding camera, battery life and even performance. Also stuff like the HTC u11 squeeze thing isn't anything interesting imho.
At first the Note 8 didn't impress me like I thought it would. But after I ran through what I want in a phone, and what's on the market. The Note 8 is really the only device that truly does everything.
Large hi-res OLED display
External Storage
Headphone jack
Waterproof
Wireless Charging
True Dual Camera (OIS on both sensors)
The Note 8 checks all of those boxes and to my knowledge is the only phone that does currently. The S7 and S8 cameras are already fantastic so having a dual setup is a perfect upgrade. And the extra 2GB of RAM is a really good bonus too. Honestly love my S7E but I just couldn't pass up the offer to trade it in and only pay $2 more a month with ATT Next.

Yes. Quite some time ago. I'm simply sick of notification issues. Sick of things not working the way they are supposed to. Sick of 2 exact same model phones not working the same. Sick of not getting calls or even notifications. Sick of antenna issues. Sick of not getting updates forever. I just want a phone that works. One that is supported and one that isn't forgotten the second a new phone comes out.
I know this is the wrong forum to be talking about this, so that's all I have to say about that. The new iPhone looks awesome. Yes, it's not Android and you can't root it or load ROM's, meh...I just want my phone to work and get updates as soon as they are available. My 6P had major battery issues and now I have numerous issues with this S7 Edge. Just time for a phone to work like it's supposed to and if it doesn't, then I can simply walk into a store and get it fixed or replaced on the spot.

I hear you, man. But with the S7 Edge everything is running really fine for me since day 1 (maybe because I didn't root or flash any custom ROM /Kernel und / mod etc. as I did with every previous phone) . Just the external SD card is acting up all of a sudden (could be the sd card, not the phone itself).

The improper behavior is completely sporadic. A "broken" phone would always perform incorrectly.

it can be because of bad sd card or bad sim card..
seen that with my eyes, bad sd card was making whole bunch of unusual behavor, slowdowns, freezing, etc... and the best part; it was only somethimes.. just random..
if that is not the case, go to repair shop. problem must be found and solved. dont think that is default behavior for all units of s7edge.. it's not! and if you got some problem someone must solve it, obviously you want, it's better moan on forums about that, right?
