s6 over the 1+3:
1. camera
2. screen
3. look (at least for me)
4. TW...i prefer it over oxygen os...
1+3 over the S6:
1. battery (propably)
2. screen size
3. usb C
if i had the money i will get a NOTE 5.....
Of course it is. At least it will get updates on time and no controlled by carriers. The phone is only as good as the software that you run in it!

1+3 a liitle bit expensive
All the mentioned points and in addition CPU is faster and ram is larger.
But im happy with the s6.
The Camera makes beautiful pictures and the battery is ok for me! (2550 mAh are enough, in my opinion the problem is with the software)

I disagree with some points.
Camera and screen are better on the s6, but TouchWiz is garbage lol. If you've never expecienced Vanilla Android (Oxygen, CM, AOSP), then that's probably why you think TW is great.
USB-C has a lot of issues, mostly because some cheap branding are making ****ty wires that could break your phone, and the fast charging or samsung works great imo.
Samsung is probably the best hardware company for android, but their software sucks. However, we can't deny that every new feature that they've been implementing in TW has been ported to AOSP on the next build (fingerprint scanner, battery saver, multi window etc).
My best android experiences so far have been with my nexus. I had 3 samsung and i regretted each of them. Never going back with sammy again.

The update part is a joke; take a look at update rollout dates of opo and op2 to understand why it is a joke (after having boasted about fast updates in their hype campaign against almost every other android based smartphone manufacturer).

Nexus is the best device ever
For this period there is no dilemma. OP3 has problems in software that need to be fixed. Wait a few months, read if the problems are totally fixed and the decide. If you want now to buy one of them then i would recommend S6 because it's a more safe choice and it's still competitive to flagships of 2016. Personally if i lost it i would buy it again.
Never ... but Support of custom roms and kernels is sg3 sg4 better

Hello all.
I have T Mobile jump on demand, and right now I have galaxy S6 Edge plus, but I have always used the nexus phone. Does anyone know if next nexus will be better than S6 edge plus? with this new jump from T Mobile, we have the option to do three changes, I love nexus phones, but S6 Edge plus is amazing. What do you think, nexus 6P, or S6 Edge Plus?
Thank you for your answers.

For T-mobile and Sprint users the s6 + note 5 are the kings of all cell phones. The samsung phones beat the nexus 6p in every category. People on Verizon and AT&T it's best to switch to Nexus 6p because we have lock bootloaders, super slow updates etc.. I have a note 5 verizon and I'm switching, but when it comes to specs the nexus 6p can't even get close to the note 5. I'm going to do a youtube video before selling my note 5 once I get my nexus 6p.

It's better because the boot loader is not locked and it doesn't have carrier bloat.

Better in terms of HW on paper. But SW wise nexus will always be king. In terms of a fluid UI that is. Hopefully google really optimized battery life this time around to complete with OEM's. You want a fluid device with the fastest updates and good HW ... Nexus all the way.

i was asking myself that exact same question, especially cuz here in Germany the S6E+ and the 6P will only be about 30€ apart (ikr, insane.... one of those rare instances where i wished i was in the US! ugh)
anyways, bottom line was that id still be going for the 6P, im just too much of a nexus fanboy direct and clean android updates, tons of custom roms, larger battery and, tbh, better looking design did it for me!

That's what I'm thinking seems lame people are saying it is better hardware wise in a phone that hasn't been even reviewed yet. Exynos doesn't even have any great support but that's a software thing.
Once you've tasted Exynos you'll never want it again. No sane dev wants to waste the time on that crap. Factor in KNOX, LagWiz and Samsung's notoriously bad "support" if you ever need 'em, makes it an easy choice. If you need/want root it's even easier unless you want a goofy "warranty void" message every bootup.
Meanwhile all the Nexuses will be on Android N this time next year and the Note 5 will be abandonware in classic Samsung fashion, all the dev forums will be barren except a few old hacked stock-ish roms. Even Samsung doesn't like to support Exynos

I would definitely wait for the one plus 3, it's just around the corner and has great specs for half the price of a 6p depending on where you live. I bought the 6p coming from the OP2 but it was the smallest upgrade ever for me. Qhd screen is not a plus, surely the 6p screen which is bad and the front facing speakers are hyped but still useless to me. Battery life ain't better. The camera is the only thing that's better for me. Near Stock Android is also available for oneplus phones. I'm just saying, wait a little.

True, that's why I sold the OP2 but that was just because of the fingerprint scanner, since MM that problem is solved.
To be honest, development for the Nexus nowadays is also not what is was back in the day.
I'll see what I do but after a year with the 6p I will buy something else. Maybe the HTC 10 or oneplus 3.

This doesn't bother me. When I had my one plus one I ran oxygen os when it was released and ditched junk cm. I had no desire to run custom roms with it. Same with one plus two. I used oxygen. All I need is root. I don't feel the need for custom roms. Even now with my 6p I try a custom ROM but always return to stock anyways. But of course not everyone feels that way...tho I think people are jumping on board with that.
I've had this phone about 3 months now and thought it was going to be good in the dev community but as im seeing now it seems all dev for this phone is dead or dying, so what hope is there that we will have any roms or new mods for this phone?Yes i understand about the locked bootloader but i was looking at the note 7 forum and they have roms for there phone and the note 7 came out after the 7 edge? i would just like to know in everyone's opinion should we be waiting and hoping for someone to break the codes and unlock our phones true potential or just shut my mouth and sit back and take what i've got and be happy with it. Don't get me wrong i commend the Echoe rom team and all the hard work they did for us and that should not be overlooked. All im saying is what do we need to get this phone poppin like all the other phones ?
Thanks
A New S7 Edge Owner
I guess all we could do is hang on to this one and trade it in or sell it when the S8 comes out and maybe we won't get screwed on the next model.
I was thinking about trading it for one of the new Google Pixel XL phones, but they aren't going to have an SD slot. I think I am still going to trade it for something else though... having a hard time figuring out what I want that's comparable.
If you're looking for a mod friendly device, you should look elsewhere. With a locked bootloader, you're not going to get much dev support. Having said that, I would say that the future of this phone is bright. I can honestly say that I see no reason for me to mess with the system. It's excellent as it is.

Yea, hate to say it, but Google should stick to making software. Either that, or actually develop the production capacity to do your own manufacturing or at least quality control, instead of farming it out to random Chinese manufacturers. My only experience with Nexus is the Nexus 5, but that device was awful. In fact, I can't think of a single redeeming quality of that device.
I'm selling mine and going back to the Note 4

I've been a nexus user since the Nexus 5 launched. and a CM user for years before then. the S7 edge is my first Samsung device (and only because I got it for free), because I have always felt the same way about Samsung as I do about apple. all hype, all trend, ignorant (non-power-user) fanbase. Samsung is literally the apple of Android, if you know what I mean. I'll never own another Samsung device after this one.

Do you think the bootloader will be unlocked? I'm still kinda new to Android and the first recent one I got was this S7 Edge. The V20 does look really nice though, hope it is released soon.
I also like the HTC 10 because there is a ton of stuff for it. The Viper rom looks awesome, pretty crazy they have OTA updates for the rom.

A few developments in the last month:
Unified 935U based roms - This will be great as the unification of US rom development (and the ability to have VOLTE) will make life better for US S7 users as they will have the newest rom of the 5 options running.
Note 7 release: The Note 7's UI seems better (samsung has already started promised to unify the UI in android 7) and the rom has been ported (same chipset).
Enhanced T-mobile Support on international models: Wifi calling/Volte has now been ported to the International (935F) model, at least if rooted. I switched as the Exynos version is faster and has better battery life (and the gap is greater in rooted versions than stock) and a stronger development community including Note 7 ports.

Goodness no. If you root and just care about speed, battery and custom rom options on android 6/touchwiz (and don't care about US warranty support), I would say yes.
If you care about warranty support, want an unrooted phone (or the ability to root without tripping Knox), want to use Samsung Pay or like T-mobile's financing options, The US model is definitely the one. It also has more upside
Long Term, Samsung's Android 7 may see a boot-loader unlock option, which would jump start CM/kernel development (cutting the performance gap between the phones and giving people who like Samsung's industrial design but not their software design a good solution). Next month, there will be Nexus phones running SD820, which will continue the advantage Qualcomm based roms have in custom development.
I'm going to be patient. This is a book I've read before. The fact is that the S7 edge will have the bootloader unlocked eventually.

The Nexus 5 was an awful device, with awful battery life, awful display, awful speaker, and awful camera. It was quick with stock Android, but it literally had no other redeeming qualities. Mine has been used as a paperweight, to keep papers from flying off my desk when my windows is open. I am not joking. I will take an Apple device over the Nexus 5 any day, and I can't stand Apple. And yes, I have an Apple device too. I have not had any other Nexus devices, and probably never will. Samsung devices have treated me very well over the years so I am sticking with them. And honestly, the GS7 is an excellent device all around, I couldn't care less about a locked bootloader. The days of spending hours/days flashing ROMs are behind me. I have more important things to do with my free time. So before you go off and make blanket statements such as "we don't know what we are doing," consider the fact that some of us don't share the same interests as you. The majority of the world wants a device that works out of the box and doesn't know what a bootloader is, much less that it can be locked or unlocked. You, and this community, are a tiny minority of smartphone users. And guess what, there are companies that cater to you as well. Don't be pissed at Samsung for delivering what their customers wanted.
So as I'm sure everyone here is aware given XDA's articles on it, Samsung phones with the Snapdragon 820 (well, really ALL Samsung phones, but the 820 ones in particular) had some serious performance issues compared to both the Exynos version, as well as other phones with similar Snapdragon processors.
Does anyone have any info or inkling or just general thoughts on whether the S8 series will have similar problems?
Personally, I'm kind of turn, as I was more or less pleased with the performance of my Note 5, but downright can't stand the S7's performance, so I'm kind of torn on what direction I'm going to go with buying the S8 or not.
I always worry Samsung and Qualcomm will screw it up. I wouldn't be surprised if my OnePlus 3T outperforms the Snapdragon S8's.
Yeah, that's pretty much the exact comparison I've been thinking about.
Of course, I don't think it's even possible for a phone to be faster than the 3T is in day-to-day use.

From my EXTREMELY limited time using the device in store, it seems that Samsung has tightened things up a bit. It's a good bit smoother than last year's 7 and 7 Edge. Everything is noticeably more fluid and I didn't experience any hangs when opening apps.
Anyone else notice the speaker volume extremely low?

I always worry Samsung and Qualcomm will screw it up. I wouldn't be surprised if my OnePlus 3T outperforms the Snapdragon S8's.

Hopefully we can get some custom kernel and roms with good performance, I hope Samsung can put more effort on 835 S8.

Should I cancel the order and get a international version? Hard to decide when you can get free gear VR.

Did you just miss the last few years of Samsung development? You won't be getting custom roms or kernels unless you get a OnePlus.

Partially true, the S7 has plenty for the Exynos. It's the Snapdragon variant that won't see any support, if it's locked down again of course.

My last android phone was LG G3 and last time I use a samsung is Nexus S. I think I missed a lot. Thanks for the head up, I need to reconsider the purchase.

if you only care about custom roms then don't get a samsung, but if you care about camera, screen, build.......get the S8

i think even the exynos get a lot of more support than the snapdragon one
assuming how the snap 820 was, the Xiaomi Mi5, One Plus 3, got really a lot lot of custom roms, meanwhile LG G5 and HTC 10 not much, meanwhile the S7 Edge, as i can see in the forum, has nothing for the 820
I assume now the Xiaomi Mi6 will have a lot of custom roms, with the Snapdragon 835, i don't know about other future phones with this besides the S8, but i'm sure the Exynos S8 will get more community support than the Snapdragon One

I'll never buy another Xiaomi. They violate Googles policy and take forever to release the kernel source. They won't even bother until the next model is out. Also, they have below par camera's and are slow with important updates. Their idea of a firmware update is to add something to the calculator, or improve their forum app. Lol. Downloading an entire ROM for that is a joke. Can't wait to sell my Mi 5s Plus.
Oneplus is the best way to go for custom ROM's. I wouldn't choose a phone just for that though, each to their own I guess.

i have a Xiaomi Mi 5 and i won't say that you are wrong lol, the camera is not the best in any means
anyways i'm guided to buy a phone by it performance and no other things, but that is just my case, so i'm good with the Mi5
the Mi 5s has Snap 821 if i'm not wrong? same as the OnePlus 3T, but it seems the 3T has a lot more roms than the Mi5S (and Mi Mix, this phone has Snap 821 too)

there is root for every device....
I just bought a T590 and was hoping that, like my S8, it would have a blue-light filter built in to the tablet natively, but I can't seem to find it. Am I out of luck? I'd really prefer not to root (and Twilight/CF.Lumen's non-root implementations are poor)

Bad idea. I don't think it will be as popular as 2016 model

Why is that? Looks like good specs and it has a real nice price, at least on Black Friday.

It looks more outdated already. It has almost identical specs to S Pen edition, it lacks hardware keys and it's not bezelless at all so they could squeeze them in. IMO it's not worth it, I still think A10 2016 is the best android tablet out there(price/quality) and also it runs latest(ekh ekh) version of Android as well. I feel like if you want to get new A10 you'd better do with an iPad or Surface Go(you have to pay more but they are way more worth their price tag)

Then it's your problem. Apple does the best job with their tablets and even Apple haters like me agree on that. Surface isn't too extensive. And remember that even Google admitted that android on tablets is a terrible experience

Mine does have it. Make sure you remember after you down-swipe the top to get the ...(darn don't know the right name)...system shortcut menu... you have to swipe right because it doesn't all fit. It's there.
it is there but it is not implemented like my note 9 with a dusk to dawn timer it is only manual. I am going with twilight for the moment. hopefully it will get added in pie in a couple of months
