Decided it might be time for a new fone :-\
Probably will settle for an S6 but not much difference in cost for the Edge, Heard good and bad about the S6 Edge +, but wondering what people thoughts are. :y and if there are any issues to watch out for.
-
Normal S6 is an outstanding phone, one of the best out there. Just junk the shite Samsung interface, install "Google Now" for that Nexus type experiance. Perfect combo.
Edge version feels odd in the hand, bit of a gimmick really. I'd plump for normal S6 :y
-
My wife has the S6 Edge and loves it. :y She switched from her iPhone 6 and once she got used to the different set-up she was glad that she made the change. Photos taken on it look really good and overall she is really pleased with it. The 'edge' of the phone can be set up to flick up favourite functions quickly.
She has it in the proper 'Edge' case though as it does feel like it may slip through your fingers. You can answer the phone through the case front if need be. :y
-
MrsGK has one, I think its the edge. Its fricking massive!
-
Mrs has the S5 neo, it's a bit smaller and easier to handle and most important cheaper :y
-
Er-indoors has the S6 and loves it, works very well and not overly large.

Up until a week ago I'd have scoffed 'iPhone' at you all.. but now mine has started acting up (and this is already a replacement phone after the first one died two months into a 24 month contract) with the digitiser not accepting input and/or the upper 1/4" of the screen being corrupt until you tweak the corner of the phone (seems like a physical connection problem internally)..
..now I'm half tempted to see what this Android shenanigans is all about. Maybe a OnePlus X or a YotaPhone..

One Plus 2 is now £249 for the 64Gb one and sounds quite attractive, I`m still happy with my Nexus 5 8)
-
I just ordered the OnePlus 2.. I feel dirty.
-
S7 will be announced at end of the month and probably released next month, so worth waiting and if you don't like the S7 at least the S6 will come down in price.
-
I haven't found any reason to move on from S4 yet.
-
Wait, as new Galaxy out soon, so S6 prices will drop.
Samsung constantly getting a proper (deserved) slating by all and sundry for not bothering to close security flaws. Given the extreme costs (on par with gayPhone), if Android floats your boat, there are better options, much cheaper.

Whilst hanging about in town today for the time for an appointment to come round I was doing a bit of "window shopping".Looked in the window of Brighthouse,they had a Galaxy S6 in there.Only £17.50p per week and a total price[including optional product insurance] was a mere £1350 :o :o How desparate do you need to be for a phone to pay that! :-\ :-X

There is a brighthouse where I work (scumsville), and they work on the principle that their clientele cant get alternative credit. Much like the 2nd hand car dealer next door selling Pug 206's and old Focuses for £5k, to cater for those who cant get normal loans.

One of the guys at work has one so I didn't go into it completely blind - but the dual SIM support sold me; both SIMs are active simultaneously, it tells you which one any incoming call comes in on, you can dial out/text out on either etc, data comes from SIM1. Means I can stop carrying a work phone and a personal phone and just carry one but keep the numbers separate, hurrah!
It is going to be a bit odd to cut the Apple cord, though, after nearly nine years!

I want a review by a real person, I know ;)
Everyone raved about the LG G3 18 months ago and it turned out to be the worst handset I've ever had. And their idea of customer service is shocking too!!

[quote author=tunnie link=topic=134474.msg1725741#
Just had a read up on that Tunnie :y
Sounds like it should fit the bill come July when my contract is up for renewal, price depending of course.
Thanks for the heads up :)

I haven't found any reason to move on from S4 yet.
I was forced to after leaving mine in a taxi in Lyon.
Got the S6 and it's great. The fingerprint unlock, once set up correctly, is great and the extra processing power makes a difference.

Still rubbish compared to the iPhone 6s, and leagues behind the 6s+

Why have you got to be like that all the time Steve? I thought we spoke about this? You don't love me...... you are just a player. I hate you! :'(

Seems the smart idea is to wait for the S7 realease and benifit from the S6 price drop.
Had an offer from 3 of £29 monthly (24 Month contract) 1GB + Unlimited text/mins so happy to wait a few weeks on that, also whilst browsing I considered the 64GB phone rather than 32GB, they wanted an extra £9 a month. :-X That was to upgrade from the "The one account" currently being sim only and on a booster with my wifi for £15 that ends this month (Compulsary as they wont keep it active any more)
Also managed to to get the phone working again, I thought it was a password issue but it seems a different battery sorted it, so I put the hammer and tool box away. ::)
Also, after handing my phone to a teenager to look at my S4 is now working properly, we tested the sim in his phone and it msg'd some setting for access, so he twiddled with the settings on mine and all works well.
O2 upped my contrast from £16.21 (sim only) for 2GB unlimeted Text/calls to £21.76, after a few calls I now have a £15 12 Month contract (som only) 3GB Unlimited Text/mins and happy to keep S4 now its works ok.
-
Also, after lots of calls to three regards my S2 and lack of connection over the years and getting £5 monthly discount on the original contract, then when 4G rolled out I never got any success connecting again on 3G so was given a booster when my contract reduced to sim only. The thing that hacked me off is they never took responsibilty and allways anything but them selves.
It now seems that there is something called 4G Super Voice which when I googled it came back giving me the impression that its something only three use to enhance thier service. Woner why that is :-\
-
Funny... I've been a three customer for around 10 years and have always found them to be superb on the customer service front, especially if you can get through to customer resolutions who are UK based ;) :y
In fact, I've been speaking with them about the totally shocking idea of customer service from LG and they have agreed to replace my 16 month old handset if LG fail to fix the fault this time (2nd time they have had it!) :y

At those prices I'd look at EE. £29 a month gets 3gb data, unlimited calls and texts,.
Best way to shop a phone is decided on monthly amount then see which provider has best deal and handset,

No problem speaking with UK based customer services, my experiances outside UK they wont listen, change what you saying because they dont understand, constantly talk over you and read from a script. but I put that down to the fact they never accept that the problems I have had may have been caused by them. :-X Apart from that they are ok ::)

Am going to get a PAYG EE sim to try, if connection and reception are good then its down to price, if they beat three on price they three are history, will just keep them till I move my number over. :y

Have a look at Virgin Media, their sim only seals are pretty good.
£15 for unlimited calls and texts and 4Gb data

Cheeky sods at O2 sent me a text with the details of the contract on but no price, and have just emailed that my renewed contradition that was agreed at £15PM for 12 months is £18 AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH . . . . .

Plus after waiting for the realease of the Galaxy S7 I was onto three to check the deals
1GB + Unlimated on all quotes
S7 £99 up front + £35PM for 24Months
S7 Edge £99 + £41PM for 24 Months
S6 offer was £29PM, waived the £29 up front cost.(No change in the offer)
Then was offered an S6 Edge for £41PM and upfront cost waived.
I declined all the above on the basis that there was no discount offered for loyalty and said that I might as well leave when my sim only deal that I have ends on the 4th of March.To which I suddenly get offered a S6 Edge with a 2GB + Unlimited for £35PM, after a bit of deliberation and 40 mins on the phone I decided to go with the deal, all details checked and confirmed etc etc etc. . . . . Right Sir, what colour phone would you like. "A Black One Please" . . . . Sorry Sir, we dont have any in stock....DOH!!!!!! I gave in after a good rant and hung up. :-X

I has a couple of LG phones coincidentally on 3 and the handsets were awful. Totally unreliable and I'd never have one again.

I want a review by a real person, I know ;)
So after a week or two living with the OnePlus 2 I can say;
It's been a difficult adjustment from the iPhone in terms of "Where the hell is X?" or "How do I Y?" - fortunately the fella with the same phone is amenable to being my local Android tech support ;D he also took the piss about me installing Avast.. :-[
Now; the good and the bad:
Good - the size, I think, is perfect. Ever so slightly smaller than the iPhone 6 Plus means I can actually reach all corners of the screen without hand gymnastics but it's still bigger than the iPhone 6 so maintains a nice amount of real estate. The shape is comfortable in the hand and much nicer to hold than the iPhone - I don't feel like it's constantly trying to make a bid for freedom!
Good - dual SIM. I wish I'd done this ages ago. It's flawlessly implemented in Android and I think it's a great shame there aren't more dual SIM handsets, although I believe there is a dual SIM version of the Galaxy S6 out there somewhere.
Bad - there's no Marshmallow build yet so it's stuck no Lolipop for now, at least officially. There are some complaints that the official firmware is a little bloated and I can certainly say it's occasionally less than snappy to start a new app or switch back to the launcher with a couple of seconds 'pause' that makes it feel much less polished than iOS. This is my first Android handset, though, so maybe they all do that!
The situation improved markedly when I moved away from the default launcher and over to Nova Launcher.
Bad - it's hard-locked a couple of times in two weeks, which makes me really miss the robustness of iOS! The occasional app crashed there but almost never the OS.
Bad - there's no microSD slot, which is a shame.
Overall it's pretty good and half the price of a comparable 'flagship' with the bonus of dual SIM. I suspect some of the other issues (like the occasional crash) might well be generic Android things, too.. like I say, it's my first Android phone so I am a noob there :)
If there was a dual SIM S6 or S7 I might even be tempted to trade up, now. Android really isn't all that bad..

I'll never have another one :o They've now admitted that they have lost my handset and returned someone else's device to me last time. Management finally signed off on a replacement yesterday, late afternoon, so I'm now awaiting a new replacement handset which might, if I'm lucky, be here by Friday! :o
The worst service ever and to top it all off there's also been a data breech because I have been getting address notifications for delivery of the device I was returned by mistake! Which, incidentally, they now seem to have lost as well! ::)
Thankfully I am able to upgrade later this year and escape the clutches of LG!! >:(

Thanks. The Dual SIM does appeal to me but I'm not sure about the rest :-\
-
I looked seriously at the S6. Couldn't see much appeal in the Edge version, to be honest, but ended up with the A5. A little smaller but, I found, much more comfortable for slipping into a pocket and all round a great phone. Cheaper, too, if you don't actually require the full spec. of the S6. Can't really fault it once the Samsung / Google bloat has been ditched. Pretty reasonable RF performance and great battery life, although one disadvantage is that the battery is not replaceable (I suspect I'll find a way when the time comes!).
-
Thanks. The Dual SIM does appeal to me but I'm not sure about the rest :-\
The lockups have bugged me but Vlad is on holiday at the moment so I can't ask him if that's normal or maybe just something I've done.. for all I know Nova Launcher has bugs, and because I've strayed from the OnePlus path I'm probably on my own there!
The bigger problem is that now I'm using a phone that is open-system the temptation to tinker (after market ROMs, etc) is huge! ;D
If I could get a dual SIM S6, though, I'd seriously consider it. Not the Edge, though, because I find it hard enough to hold a phone without touching the screen accidentally as it is! ;D
-
I haven't found any reason to move on from S4 yet.
I was forced to after leaving mine in a taxi in Lyon.
Got the S6 and it's great. The fingerprint unlock, once set up correctly, is great and the extra processing power makes a difference.
Still rubbish compared to the iPhone 6s, and leagues behind the 6s+
Both are gay though, that's the problem.
Ah, so the fact I have a 6s...
Still, for a tenner a month for 200m/ultd text/3Gb on EE's bloody brilliant network, I don't feel like I'm being arse raped.
-
Funny... I've been a three customer for around 10 years and have always found them to be superb on the customer service front, especially if you can get through to customer resolutions who are UK based ;) :y
I found them to be really variable, but ultimately unsatisfactory and unhelpful. Fortunately I was just trialling them for coverage, and not tied into a contract.
Coverage was too hit and miss for me as well, with frequently no service or too weak a service to use. 3G speeds were quite acceptable though, when a signal was found. I imagine in built up areas, coverage would be better, and thus usable.

Yeah... Coverage can be patchy but is, on the whole, pretty good (except at my house!) Good signal in your house though :-X ::)

Aren't Evil Everywhere claiming 95% population coverage for 4G? Although that's a long way from 95% geographical coverage.
Sat on choo choo on way to that hellhole known as the smoke, and have had pretty much permanent data all the way. Mostly 4G. Dropped to edge in woods near Brill.
Everything bar Vodafone works well in my house :). EE is only one providing 4G, and then only upstairs.
When I was looking at ditching O2/NiffNaff I got some PAYG SIM cards and tried EE and 3 (didn't bother with Vodafone as doesn't work well round me, and had o2 anyway). My primary concern was universal voice coverage and near universal high speed data coverage. Which is how I came to my final decision.
3Gb is enough for my needs. I have 2 fibre lines at home and a dedicated adsl in the office, though I tend to use 4G at work as it's faster. If I'm starting to get tight on data, I use wifi in office and tolerate the sub 15Mbps. Also, obviously, I have BT Wifi which I can use when required.
You pays your money... ...but we are blessed with a competitive market, and thanks to EU, reasonable roaming when we need to visit euroland
-
Roaming was a big winner for me... Australia and New Zealand with 2 phones and 2 iPads, all using data and numerous calls to/from the UK for business reasons saved me around £14k in roaming charges over the 2 weeks.
Three have good enough coverage for me, most of the time :y. Their customer service has been pretty good too :y
