I was looking at the S6 at first since it would be a bit cheaper monthly but found out that the S6 didn't support microsd while the S7 does and the battery life was better for the S7.
What I don't like about these new flagships, they have a fixed battery
at first only apple did this with their dumb iphones... My S4 still has a removable...
Anyways I hope it will last me a while, 3+ years.
fixed battery is not a problem
i like my Honor 5X despite some of his downside ... the best point? well 230chf, fingerprint scanner(quite fast and accurate) and performing well above his price segment nonetheless ... (and nearly 1 week battery when i use it mildly .... more like 3-4 days in standard usage )
Samsung? for me they think they are Apple and shall do like them (which is not a compliment considering how bad Apple behave ... pricing, lack of innovation, locking unofficial accessory with a iOS update... etc etc etc), unfortunately like apple it seems that there is a flock of uninformed sheep following and praising them, not targeting you of course, while there is way better for cheaper at many other manufacturer,
there is some pro i can find about Apple (my mother gave me her semi defect iPad mini 1st gen, fortunately for that one Apple decided that they will stay on iOS 9 which still enable me to use my off brand charger and cable... ) but i find more cons, with Samsung ... well good point in them : Android, cons ... almost anything else (personal opinion nonetheless )
i had the 1st Galaxy S and that's about the only Samsung phone i've found great ... i had a SII SIII S4 S5 (most of the time testing them, thus reselling them after a short trial ... most of the time less than 1 week ) everytime i tested one ... i've found myself buying a cheaper, albeit just as powerful in any task i need, phone from Huawei/Honor, Xiaomi, Wiko or even Umi
technically for soc now the top dogs are HiSilicon and Mediatek, Qualcomm should better pay attention or they gonna get eaten ... (the Exynos for me is kinda an hard call ... i used a Meizu Mx 4 Pro while that one was cheaper than similar Samsung phone, the SoC didn't feel right ... )
as for S7 Exynos vs Snappy, if it was only on Samsung phones i would not be surprised that Samsung would have voluntarily crippled the qualcomm based one to give an impression that their Exynos was superior ... that would be funny, tho it's not confined to Samsung phones only
next ... mmhhrrrmmm ....
what do i need ... or more realistic... "What do i don't need but want anyway ..."
bah i will place the Z170X Gaming 7 on wishlist for now ...
, I'm out of touch with tech!
