Switching from the iPhone 6 to zenfone, I had high hopes. Unfortunately the zenfone did not deliver in terms of performance. Too much lag. Bought the s6 edge and returning the zenfone 2 tomorrow. Can you tell me what was in the box? I see an empty slot in there and can't remember what was in it. And on another note, good bye fam!
And you felt the need to make a thread about this?
Good luck with future endeavors. To find what's in the box, feel free to Google an unboxing video.
Zenfone 2 vs Samsung S6, not at all the same price category.
Anyway, the lag when it happens are mostly related to the current version of Android. Such lag exist also on Samsung S5/S6 with Lollipop...
What lag?

i think u r new to samsung ...its one of the most lagging phones it will start to lag within 3-6 months if u r lucky it won't lag for 12-15 months (25-30% chances) my friend has s6 edge it started to lag within 3 mnths...... zf2 is way better in pricing and support for updates...
u r takin a big risk by buying sammy ...... i have used note edge and so far the worst flagship
my opinion is this for sammy
btw , 5.1.1 was on the way u could have waited for a while...
Pfffff, if you think the ZenFone 2 is laggy, then wait until you start using Touchwiz. That is where Lag Central is at.

I don't know exactly what you mean about zenfone 2 laggy?
with 4GB RAM and quad core 2,3ghz Intel 64 bit.. . how come you find lag?
Go away, troll

I did the same from an Iphone 6 and couldnt be happier.
You dont see the potential this device has..you could have waited for 5.1.1
K bye Felicia!
Don't understand the need some have to troll like this. Don't like the phone and getting another? Fine. No need to post in the phone's forum about it.
Ok folks,
The OP said he gave up and farewell. There's no need to keep this thread going. Not to mention we have more than enough phone comparison threads on this website.
Thread closed.
i'm considering switching from my note 4 to the OP2 what are your recommendations ? can i have user reviews about battery and overheating issues (if there's any) ?
I've only had the device for a day and I played a few games and there was no overheating. A little lag in the game but not much. Battery is better than the Note 4. That is for sure! I've owned the Note 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The OPT does have better battery life than the Note 4 and 5. If i remember right the Note 2 and 3 had amazing battery life.
I will also say this. The Note 5 is faster than the OPT and the camera is better and so is the fingerprint reader software. I hate touchwiz and I mean I really hate it. I said NO MORE SAMSUNGS after the Note 4 but I had to get on Tmobile's Jump plan so I got a Note 5 and I'm impressed with the SW now. Still not stuck but not horrible anymore.
I hope someone answers you but man you have got a lot of reading to do. Same boat as u. torn between op2 and moto. Best of luck.
Interesting
Well, i will be giving a neutral answer.
1. If you owned a note 4(which u already are), dont waste your money and give that OPT invite to others(if you have one)
2. Regarding your question about overheating issue and battery life, i assure you(well unless you get your hand-on an oxygenOS 2.0.0) there is no overheating issue at all(except you play a 3D HD game like implosion for 1hour+ which temperature will be at 48°c). For battery life, i get a decent SOT of 3h45min ~4h30min for average usage such as facebook, watching youtube, spotify, and waze with some occasion wifi hotspot.

Thank you for the answer.
i also had note 1,2,mega,s4,s5, note3,4, and NOT planing to go on note 5 cuz i hate tw and got bored of it so after sammy removed removable battery and extended storage i also said byebye samsung after the note 4. Might as well get something new and different. The HTC m9+ is way out of my budget. And since i saw the OPT i fell in love for it but i had few doubts about the sd810.
thank you alot your answer helped me very much

If you haven't played with the S6 or Note 5. You should. You might be a little surprised by TW now. I guess it's the theming engine coupled with the speed. Check it out on a friends phone if you can. Not at the store.

and as for the invite i dont have one but there is a merchant in my country getting some so im gonna buy from him the 4gb ram 64gb model,
and mate i simply got bored of same tw over and over if there was a cm rom for my varient i wouldnt consider changing my phone.
if you have anyother comments and some things to tell me about the OPT please do as my decision is almost made

I guess so. The new moto pure has a terrible battery life from what I read so. Although I will miss the touch less control of the x. I want something that can go well for at least a day and somewhat endure for a couple of years. Although the nexus 6 is quite large. Guess it is op2 then. Will get it through oppomart I guess
This is my recent history.
OnePlus One 1 month.
OnePlus Two 2 weeks.
Both OPO & OPT running hot (OPO is hottest).
OPT is equipped with a better battery, and stand-out from the affordable crowd. The thing is, why you want to switch from Note 4? Any particular reason? I guess the Note 4 has all the features one would want. The 16GB version of OPT is way cheaper than Note 5 ot Edge 6. The choise is yours

Well yes i have some reasons, first of all this is my 4th year holding samsung devices and stuck wo damn tw and this is the second year i get a device that doesnt get cm or aosp support haha and its time to change for me. I fell in love with OPT the minute i saw it. Thats why

Do not trust Oppomart.
I buy two time from oppomart first time they sent me a new phone, second time a used phone, I sent back and they stole me 400 euro on refound.
“I’m sorry the packet arrived empty are you sure you put the phone inside?”
Come on!
I buy from aliexpress and pandawill, it never happen something like this.
To be honest with you, the OPT is not ready yet! but dont get me wrong is a good thing,i got it 2 weeks ago,bit laggy, some bugs and some heat on stock Oxygen 2.02.
But here is the thing! If you using AK kernel you get a different phone! no heating anymore, decent battery life much snappier UI,an He is still in beta stage!
Thats why I love OP, couse you dont get the best of everything out the box, you have to "treat" it to make better for you.
Thats why you can see lots of bad reviews, and they right, you can buy an apple which out the box, everything is smooth and working, but please ,its too boring for us "modders".
If you dont mind to digging forums for make the phone better step by step, and trying different kernels,roms every week than go for it, if you wanna settle with something which is settled,than buy samsung or moto.
Never settle!
I thought I'd post a thread for my fellow S6 users planning to move to the N5X.
I had the S6 with me since the launch day itself. I was hoping that due the popularity of the S lineup there could be CM support just like S3 had.
After almost 9 months of waiting I finally gave up.
Yes there is CM for S6 but it is no where near stability. Without a maintainer there wont be any. Samsung will never release sources for exynos.
These facts however cold they maybe are straight forward facts. The CM source we have has a lot of work to be done, and I am not talking about 2 or 3 lines of code. Hals need to be written from scratch and tested. I believe in open source mindset. If I have paid almost 800 usd for a piece of hardware I should have the right to put whatever software I want.
So finally I moved to the 5X.
1) The build does not feel cheap, its lighter than the s6 yet sturdy and does not feel fragile.
2) The power button is not as tactile as the one on the S6.
3) Display is really good. 1080 is enough and I have to try really hard to see the difference between fhd and qhd. This is my first IPS LCD phone all others have been amoleds and I am pleased to say that the display on N5X is really subtle on the eyes.
4) Camera is very good, almost close to the s6. The cam app is not that great but I am using manual camera so it dont matter.
5) BATTERY LIFE! N5X only loses 1% charge over night. Doze is just amazing. I am almost getting 6 to 6.5 hrs of SOT over a 1.5 to 2 days of usage. I'm pretty sure I can push it to 8hrs of SOT.
6) Fingerprint scanner is faster than the S6. and the positioning is more natural.
7) The front speaker is really good. I can hold the phone without worrying about blocking the speaker.
8) Fast charging is pretty much the same as S6.
9) Earpiece quality and clarity are 2x better than the one on S6 imo.
10) The phone does not throttle or heat up even on heavy use. SD 808 is just working fine.
So if you are planning to move on to 5X or 6P, I would say go for it.
P.S. I am not here to badmouth our beloved S6. I love the phone, but the software just doesn't live up. Stock android is 100% better than touchwiz when user experience is concerned.
Are your comparisons based on the s6 on lollipop or marshmallow? Cos a lot of the things have improved a hell of a lot on marshmallow for s6 and that's just beta and not final version. The 6p yes, 5x nahh
No front physical home button, no care.
I had a N4 and N7 (2012 & 2013). Meh.
Wider, taller and thicker. The 2 extra mm in width is especially noticeable in the hand--at least it was when I held it. The S6 is pretty much the limit for me in terms of size. But the worst thing about the NX5 is onboard memory. 32g max. That is the ultimate deal breaker. I keep a lot of music on my phone and like to store locally whatever movies I buy from the Play store or videos I watch from Amazon Prime so I don't need a connection to watch. Plus, it drains far less battery than streaming. A 10-episode series on Prime is like 11g by itself. Come on, get with the times and at least provide the option of 64g model.

Moral of the story: Don't buy a Samsung product (especially with an Exynos SoC) unless you're willing to live with TW. Things have changed since 2012.

I wish we had codeworkx working on S6. Samsung is being a real pain in the a s s. I do understand that their code has some really vital info that could help it's competitors but they can at least provide the basic documentation for the exynos soc.

That makes no business sense. Probably fewer than a few percent of users want to flash custom ROMs, and encouraging them to do so by releasing full sources only increases costly warranty claims. They've totally snubbed the development community, so it's time for us to either be content with TW or move on, IMO.

You guys over exagerate quite alot..stock rom especially with marshmallow is fast and smooth...im getting between 5.30-6 hours sot...
Nexus 5x is a inferior product compared to the s6...even the nexus 6p is not on par with the s6...the only one which is going to be worth getting in my opinion is the upcoming s7..and im going to get the s7 exynos variant not the snapdragon one.. simply because it will be faster.

I never said that S6 was a slow phone. It's about what's opensource and what's not. Touchwiz on the S6 is the best I've seen on a samsung device. But the way samsung heavily modifies aosp and does not tell us is very unfair. Look at sony, they got their custom timescape UI, but still they support AOSP and provide the right sources.

not happening in 3-4months,i think we can expect first stable build(with few bugs) in late 2016
the devs are doing it for fun,they can stop developing whenever they feel like and like OP said no "maintainer" so we cant expect a totally stable build
i wish samsung makes marshmallow tw as good as stock

by 3-4 months google will announce Android N release. Then there will be another reason to wait for samsung to release some source.
If you want development, the S6 shouldn't even be in contention. We buy the S6 for premium build and the built in tech like fprint scanner, IR Blaster, Heart Rate Monitor and crazy gorgeous screen.
Even with that ****ty CM, half the tech built in will not work properly so why buy the S6 hoping for CM?

The funny thing is... You sent this from an Iphone.
To the OP, any issues with the reported lag on the 5x? I'm looking elsewhere from my s6 because even on that "premium" phone, I get lag opening hangouts and even at times typing. I never had any problems on my previous original nexus 5.
I'm really stuck in this same move myself. I bought a s6 when my nexus 5died because it was the best hardware around. Little did I know that the monster of a processor would be gimped by poor ram management. I bought a 5x during the holidays and I really enjoy the stock Android and solid battery life.
Then they came out with the marshmallow beta and fixed most of my reservations - ran management, keyboard killing, fingerprint sensor speed, and standby drain. The mm build is competitive in enjoyment, at least until the next nexus comes out.

Hardcore nexus and flashaholic user here since g1days. S6 is my first samsung. I had nexus 4, nexus 5, OPO, Nexus 6 most recently. 6 was nice but too bulky.
I'm really enjoying the stock samsung experience. Getting 4.5 hours SOT. Fast charge is super nice and I love spay and ir blaster remote. I run action launcher. I'm officially a reformed flashaholic.
Camera on this phone is excellent.

I'm flasholic since i9000/9003. Last hardware running on cm was klte. Really like the layer theme and so on but after using new tw on s6, my bad behaviour gone slowly. And after trying beta 6.0 tw I send the resignation letter to bug hunter division. I guess I already too old for bug fighting.

I have a s6 and just bought a nexus 6 , thats a great phone and cheaper than the 5x , keeping both , as they both have thier plus and minus , use my s6 with the gear vr and that is cool to watch movies , so plan to keep the s6 after the s7 is out for the vr side.

Hi guys I'm currently use oneplus two temporary... Im from note 3(sold it). I love galaxy note series camera and specially display... So i need to know should i stick with ONEPLUS two or should i buy note 4?
I know n4 is 2014 and OP2 is 2015. Apart from internals im not satisfied with battery, charging and camera of OPT.... I need good development, good performance most importantly good battery life.... So what you think guys??? Please font suggest other phones... Just need good honest opinion. [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4]
I use n910c, love screen, battery, perfomance, spen, perfect phone, but i like stock os, before i have oneplus one, loved it, because has stock os and a lot custom roms. Thinking now about oneplus two
Around 4 months ago I've been invited to buy an oneplus2.. I bought it straight away thinking that it was much better than my note4. After all those months where I had both phones my primary device is still the note4. The main reason has been the lack of a sdcard slot on the oneplus2.. I do flash too many ROMs and I prefer to do it clean, so copying all my music and important files every time bothered me a lot.
I had no problem with battery life with both phones... Regarding the note4 camera is good with TW ROMs but not so good with cm based ROMs (yet). Note4 has good development, but the oneplus2 is getting better and better every day.
I personally don't like the samsung stock touchwiz, but if you don't mind it you may be ok buying the N910C (exynos) version.. if not go for the N910F (snapdragon) that has more development (if I'm not wrong).
The note4 is a really good phone.. probably the best I ever owned.. but I would think twice before buying a 2 years old phone... just my opinion. You probably won't regret if you buy it, but it is always a 2 years old phone.. so have a look here at our development section and do some research and make your decision.
In the end I can just tell you, from my personal experience, that the note4 (N910F) is an amazing device.
Cheers
stay with your oneplus 2 and wait the note 6 if u can (mainly due 2 sd-card support ) and u will feel much of difference

Yeah, that's what I would recommend. However if you want a removable battery and a microSDCard slot then I recommend getting the Note 4. As that is probably the best phone of 2014!
Im using both now, the op 2 is better in camera and definitely performNce ehen you install the right software, the note 4 just has a better display and the pen ofc i installed cm based rom cuz tw lagged like ****, and still no official mm hahaha, and about sd card i dont care, both got enough for thr average user so i would stay on op2 and wait for op3 or note 6

You are kidding right? The OP2 has crappy camera sensor when compared to the Note 4 16MP ISOCELL sensor.
Nope, Pictures with Oneplus camera are even a bit better, only the speed of taking photos are better with the note 4, its just my opinion; im on Oxygenos 3.0 and on note 4 on TW 6.0.1 now

I've stayed off CM as the camera was nowhere near as good as the TouchWiz camera when I ran it for a few weeks.
Aftermarket camera apps couldn't compete with the TW camera either.

My biggest reasons to leave Samsung is because of the updates and features that doesn't come to older devices like features of the s7 to the s6. I'm really really sick of samsungs updates always late.
I just want to know what phone you gonna buy next time and why?
1.) OnePlus 5
2.) Nokia 8
3.) LG G6
4.) Samsung Galaxy s8
5.) Pixel 2
6.) Huawei p10
7.) Sony Xperia XZ Premium
the S8 is the #1 phone in my mind, hope they do something new, the pixel is ugly, the V20 is an LG...which i hate...and their UI is the worst, the iphone is......no need to say.....so the S8 might be the only phone for me....
I'm actually switching to the iPhone 7[emoji1] . Definitely away from Samsung!
No idea really. Want to go back to stock so won't be a Samsung. The OP3 is too big, 5.1 is ideal. Pixel is too expensive. There's nothing, atm.
xiaomi for me. maybe the successor to the mi5/mi5s. preferrably one with strong aosp support so I can test out miui and aosp roms
OP3. AOSP is a must, and this time I want to buy atleast 5.5" screen. OP3 has better design, battery, performance, and software.
Probably S8 or Note 8. I really like new Grace UX and the design of their hardware.
Most likely S8 but will see what is available when I can extend my phone contract again.
Haven't really had a reason yet to leave the Galaxy S line (S2, S4, S6). But if I switch it most likely will be because of the support for custom roms.
I'm thinking 1+3 but not really sure. Something with a high XDA forum threads count and stable AOSP roms.
note8

My biggest reasons to leave Samsung is because of the updates and features that doesn't come to older devices like features of the s7 to the s6. I'm really really sick of samsungs updates always late so do guys think we are getting the grace ux to the s6?
And i hope i can get the new pixel so i have the latest features and updates of android.
I just want to know what phone you gonna buy next time and why?

I will go for note 8 if they releas..
Before my s6e I had a HTC m7 with AOSP and that was really good, now with my s6e I just think that much power (cpu power) is a little useless (at least for me). I'm looking for a better battery phone and not that expensive like s7e or note series. So probably getting a xiaomi redmi 4 prime.

if it is somthing you really want just do it
Might go for S7 Edge after the release of S8 haha. Thought of Redmi 4 prime too, but camera department on Xiaomi is sad Was thinking of Mi Note 2, but for 50€ more, I can get S7 Edge ...
I really love my S6 but the battery is really bad for me and I'm always struggling getting through the day. So, I'm intensively checking my options, escpecially all those new Chinese phones like ZUK Z2 Pro, LeEco Le Pro 3 which provide quite some bang for the buck. But all those phones have one or more disadvantages like bad camera, no IR blaster (I actually use that a lot) that I can't accpet.
I spent less than 400€ getting my S6 new about 14 months ago and I don't want to spend more on the next phone I get. I think currently the Oneplus 3 is probably the best option considering the good XDA support and ok camera. But it is still not nice enough for me to spend the 399€ that it would cost (no used phones around here in Germany).
So, I think I have to live with my S6 a little longer. Currently searching the best ROM and kernel to get at least the best out of the battery that is possible.
Most likely something what is NOT from Samsung but I'll see...
I'm quite open to different brands since anyone can create a great device.
For now I'm thinking about either Pixel or even an iPhone (I can barely believe I said it )
if ever i leave my s6 and samsung,i want to own iphone again,maybe 6s plus or 7 if only have money,in most situation i always found that iphone has lesser factory defect than samsung,and the updates is awesome,very fluid and optimized o.s ,downside is very expensive,cant afford ?
Google Pixel 2 maybe !
