The screen is amazing, blazing fast, multi tasking is great because of the multi Window modes and pop up apps, feels great in the hand.
For the first time ever, I feel like I can get a ton of work done on my phone.
For those of you on the fence... Go try one out at a store. You will not be disappointed.

Are you coming from a Note 2? I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it.
Well said couldn't agree more. This phone is crazy fast and tons of options to customize to your needs .

bought the s4 and i tried the 5s for the past 2 weeks, both phones did not make me as excited/ kiddish as the note 3.
You will love the look and feel of this phone. The weight is perfect so it doesn't feel like a brick (LG Pro), speed is fast so it doesn't get the lag (S4), big without being too big with bezels (Sony Xperia Z Ultra), OS is complete butter so it is fast (Moto X), while it lacks the external speakers (HTC One) it makes up for it with better sound quality when using head phones. Camera is excellent and video doesn't have focus issues (LG G2). Hope that explains it a little better and compares it with every new phone out right now. I have owned all the phones and didn't mention the Lumia 1020 (great camera, terrible battery and OS missing apps), Xperia Z (love the waterproof but camera terrible, Xperia ZL, same as Z, S4 Active had excellent screen and all around better than the Sony Z line for me. iPhone 5s was same as 5 for me even tho I did like the fingerprint unlock and faster burst mode camera (but not worth the upgrade IMO). Have a good day.

I am. I've been watching people in the international N3 post what an "incremental" upgrade the N3 is over the N2. It's night and day. The look, feel, updated Samsung apps, the fluidity. I'm pretty happy. I haven't gotten it all set up yet and will post something more detailed once I do. I'm coming from an international N2 and was terrified what AT&T would do to their version. All of their apps can be disabled except for the Mobile Hotspot app which I'll need anyway. And I haven't found anything missing yet except the ability to disable the Mobile Data connection. So far so good.
Where are you guys getting the phone from? AT&T says I have to wait until tomorrow.

I pre-ordered. It was delivered FedEx about 1:00PM today.
we got our stock and demos in last night.. im in love. considering selling my s4 for this badboy now.
it definitely feels super nice in my hand, compared to the note 2. my first thought was, it felt like the original galaxy s2, the squarish feel. didnt like it right away but it has grown on me.
how does that plastic leather feel in your hand? Looks so cheesy in pictures..

i love this phone! also. i had it since OCT 2nd. and the pleather really does feel leathery . atleast ont he black version
This phone is most certainly an awesome upgrade. Just picked mine up last night in black. It's definitely more premium feeling as well, even though it's still plastic. Samsung did a great job with this device and i cant wait to start rooting and ROMing this phone out

Well. So far so good. It's a whole new world for me. I left Sprint for At&T after being with them for years. I'm on my first real Samsung phone after having every HTC since the Hero. I'm liking this phone a lot so far...but I do hope root access is gained eventually. There is a lot of carrier bloatware crap on this phone I'd like to ditch.
Happy new phone day everyone! Woohoo, am I psyched to play with my new phone. Now if work would just stop getting in the way of me having fun....and there was a custom recovery and root access...that'll come in time though, I'm sure.

I was amazed how light it is for the size, and the screen really pops. I look back at all the hand wringing about the PenTile display and realize how silly it was. Looks incredible.
The subject basically says what I am thinking. This is a great phone, don't get me wrong, but it's kind of boring.
I was looking at the fingerprint scanner on the $6 and it looks pretty cool, especially how it logs you into websites with it's browser.
Anyone else bored with this phone?

That's cool and all but I never used the fingerprint scanner. I have both devices. And what I prefer over the S6 is of course the changeable battery and also the SD card. Plus the fact that this phone has more potential for development. CM and bliss pop will be here any day. The S6 hasn't had much action in that division.
The LG UI is a nice change from touchwiz has been my main UI since the S2. I think I'm about to sell my S6.

I'm betting this is not the first time you've become bored with your phone. I know for me, I get bored with every phone I own after a few months with them. Some quicker than others. The Nexus line of phones seem to keep me interested the longest. I get a new phone every 6 months and still get bored

Nope, not at all. I hate fingerprint scanners, as I am not willing to give any more personal information to the rest of the world as I am already am by using a smartphone. For what benefit? There is a plethora of other ways to unlock your phone and since 5.1 they work great for me. The LG G4 has what I want from a phone, a great screen, great camera and a removable battery and sd card slot.
Especially the battery and the missing sd card slot is a deal breaker for me. So the S6 was never really an option. Although the leather option really looks nice and works in day to day use, while glass on a phone is a very dumb idea. I can not count how many times I did replace the back of my girl friends Sony Z3.
LG has of course some things to fix, but the overall concept of the phone is great. Samsung? Not so much!
I want to love my LGG4 but I am having the occasional vertical screen split issue and I am hesitating to get a refurb replacement with my TEP. If I were to trade it in (if even possible) I would go with the Note 5. My kid just got one and it is nice. Real nice! ...and no issues so far!

I came across your thread while surfing.. I am a G2 user from past 1 and half year. You know what I am still not bored with it. Infact I got bored with my nexus 4 in same amount of time just because of plain boring vanilla android. [emoji12]
Just love my G2. Running Cloudy 3.3 rom which is a G4 port.. Loving it.
Thinking to upgrade to G4 just for the dual Sim and SD slot.
Regarding s6 it's battery ? life is not that good.

I absolutely love this phone. The aspect of having removable battery and an sd card slot was the reason I bought this phone and has not regretted it. Now the only thing missing is an unlockable bootloader. But a least we have root for now so I m quite satisfied.

As card slot, removable battery, amazing display and camera front facing and rear, really selfies look much better on this phone. Also feels much better in the hand than any of the s6 line, also love the minimally intrusive ux ui, closest thing to stock you can get on any of the flagships, exception of moto pure.
Fingerprint scanner can't replace the bennifits of this phone.

You're right.
I think it tells a lot about the instability of some people, not just with phones but with everything in general. Some don't know how to be content .
I used to desire wanting a phone and other things so bad and then when I get that thing I felt "bored" after a while and then realized that this will happen with EVERY phone/laptop/car/technology/house/location/etc..
We just have to learn to be content and not let a phone/everything earthly thing be our idol.
See the benefit in what we have and look forward to living our lives.
That fingerprint on the S6 will make the OP "bored" after a while too.
If you're not happy with something because it is defective or too large / too small for you, that's a different issue.
G4 is great but I find it a bit too big because of the bottom bezel preventing me from holding it sometimes. But I still enjoy the phone a lot when I use it.

Because hammer is a simple tool. You don't use it everyday, you don't take it everywhere with you (showing to others is also important lol)
Sometimes you can feel better with phone that runs worse but look better and vice versa. I used note 4 for 2 weeks. I loved it despite the speed not being that great. But it had some serious issues with 3g signal and mobile data was very slow, often no connection at all while traveling. (shiny metal frame also looked ugly after 2 weeks)
I switched to Z3. Great phone in almost every aspect. But it became boring in its perfection of every day usage. However camera was a lot better on Note 4 I knew it and missed it when looking at photos and videos (especially in low light).
I feel like I was always looking for phone that has everything. Yesterday I used S6 edge plus for a while and I'm impressed so far. Looks amazing, camera is superb in auto and also has every manual options that g4 has (normal s6 has no shutter speed control, but I wanted to learn how to play with night shots). Speed and battery life is easily fixed (but so far looked good) with debloating software. But guys the price xD.
I tried to summarize it but it's hard, because I considered Z3 as the best phone I've ever used and everything changed in one day when the back glass cracked itself and Sony didn't want to repair it under warranty. Btw. Sony claims that their phones are no longer waterproof and you shouldn't take them underwater.

- it tooks 4months for samsung to get MM to his flagship
- battery life is lame
- worst ram menagment phone ever ,, cant handle more than 3/4 tasks
- for my opinion selfie cam is so fake with that "beauty" filter
- reception in LTE / 4g was so bad (max 3h sot with mobile data)
- they didnt post kernel source so it lacks in developing
- BLOATWARE all around ... more than 300 apps+ services
- a lot useless stuff, flip to mute , proximity to ear call , IM NORMAL PERSON I CAN DO IT BY MYSLEF, im not handicapped
- 2560 x 1440 was so bad move for a 5.1 inch display . in 1080p more battery life , less pixel to show , more cpu power , more gpu power etc
thigs ive liked :
_ the build was so good
- it was amazing fast phone (even with touchwiz , imagine what can he do in cm13 , but they never gona have stable cm13)
- fast charging , 1h22min 100%

OnePlus 2 is perfect from my point of you. But not the software. The hardware of the device is beast. Software by OnePlus is no match to if. If you want to buy OnePlus Two you should tweak to get most out the phone. So it's in your hands. Perfect hardware, OK stock software. Of course the Device heats up a bit. If tweaked its the best phone in its range. If you don't want to tweak, you can use stock but wait till marshmallow.

Oneplus 2 and nexus 6p are both good phones for their price range. If you have a bigger budget, i would get a 6p because its better in terms of software updates (they have marshmallow already). For me i haven't experienced many bugs with oneplus 2, others in the forum have had minor bugs. Battery life is not bad, i get around 6-7 hr screen on time with YouTube only with a bit of internet.

I really like the 6P and OP2, but both seem to have some issues. Some bigger than others. And I know no phone is perfect. I can spend up to what a 64gb 6P would cost me, but saving money is never a bad thing. My 6s Plus has no issues, but the OS is so stale and I'm going nuts without the simplest of customization.

There is no way I'll buy another Xperia in the future (Z5 Compact is being enough for me). But I said the same thing years ago with Samsung (after having a Galaxy S3) and I'm sticking to that.
I still prefer Xperia over Touchwiz. (Despite of Xperia cameras, which are terrible...only good for landscapes and wide daily photos).
For me, the best experience in Android is the nexus family.
I'll probably switch from a Z5C to a 5X one of these days....and keep it for a few months till the new nexus is released.
(I used a 5X last month and I regret the decision of leaving the Nexus family to try the Xperia family).
I'll have to sacrifice the size and the HD display of course.

Yeah I just quoted you, to add my point of view over yours.
Regarding the battery life. I find the 5X in a middle point between the Nexus 5 and the Z5 Compact.
Nexus 5 battery life wasn't enough for me. Z5 Compact battery life is more than enough. So 5X should be just enough, and I'll be fine. (Except for the gaming, where the Z5C rules because of the 720p resolution. Luckily Hearthstone is more CPU killer than GPU killer in my experience.).
But yes "battery life efficiency" is the best strength you can find in an Xperia.
I hope this new update (32.2.A.0.224) we're waiting for Z5C solves, at least, these 2 things:
- adaptive brightness gamma colors that get washed under a lot of light.
- the performance issues that appear after 5-10 days without rebooting the phone.

- the performance issues that appear after 5-10 days without rebooting the phone.

You're lucky that you only reboot every 5-10 days. I reboot once or twice a day! If I open Snapchat (yes, the app itself does suck, which makes it even worse), I definitely have to reboot sooner than later. My bluetooth doesn't get picked up half of the time and if I use the phone while listening to music, the sound stutters. It's just not a good experience. The Z3C was light years ahead of the Z5C, which is unfortunate.
On the note of the S6: I've heard quite a bit of praise after M update. One of my closest friends own both the S6 and S7 (both on M) and mentions that they're pretty comparable. Really though, anything but the Z5C is better IMO. Especially since I can most likely get the S6 for the Z5C without losing money. After the S4, I told myself I wouldn't be getting another Galaxy phone but it looks like Samsung really turned it around with the S6 so I'll give them another chance.

All rumors point to May 14 announcement.
I would assume shipping not to long after.
The 7 Pro will definitely be in my hands hopefully in May. Q HD+, triple camera back, popup camera for front with full screen. Not to forget stereo speakers. Take my money!

I wish it didn't have curved screen though...but I might be disappointed in that aspect...
I sold my OnePlus 6t just because 5 months I lived with a bad design . 5 months I was expecting OnePlus to do something with that navigation bar . the content on the screen is black and the navigation bar is bright white. never settle with OnePlus .I was with OnePlus from the start but now is too much I am going with another phone just because they don't wish to fix some little things. I know the white navbar is for the screen burn but for God sake just so something
, let me make it green or yellow for example. after I tried to contact different people and forums because they said we listen to our customers, I ended up selling my device just because of the navigation bar . so frustrating ...

Seems a bit extreme for a nav bar though I get what your saying.Theyve added nothing really to the experience. Im more annoyed by lack of Always On Display and don't have time for custom ROMs mods etc,
OnePlus 6T is just boring me at this stage,works well,but not too pushed on the 7 now, Probably cost samsung s10 plus prices for the pro version

+1 the curves... But still might be a great phone to choose, wonder if standard comes with 48mp and telephoto or wide?

How long do you think that popup front camera is actually going to work? Say once it's full of pocket lint etc?

I would say at least 2 years even though I keep a phone for about one year. It would only get lint when it is active. I don't see there being an issue with lint.

Yeah it extreme to get rid of a phone for the navigation bar being white, mind you only in apps too. You all are XDA so I would think you tinker with phones a little bit. AOD is available on the 6T and works. It is a simple Magisk module that can be obtained with minimal experience with Android and Windows. This would be my first OnePlus phone as I came from years of HTC phones and quite happy with the switch.
Latest "leak".
Op7 = op6T, notch tear drop. That's a Big NO! This one should be in 6T price.
Op7 pro without notch, without front camera. I never use it, any way! Good ! Leak say it's about 699$
Op7 pro 5g, ok, but not interesting for now. 5G maybe next year will work fine. This could be expensive. Let's hope, Not 1000$...
