Ultimate Phone

My HTC One M7 recently died and that puts me in the market for a new phone. Budget isn't really an issue. I want something with ample battery and power to last me (a heavy user) for two years. A good camera is important, as well as massive storage, and nice screen with enough room for activities. Essentially, I'm looking for the ultimate phone. So far my thoughts are either the Galaxy S6 128GB or the Note 5 64GB. Comments, questions, suggestions, and all else is welcome. 

Thanks guys and gals in advance for your great help! :)

I'd have to say right now (or very soon) the Motorola Style will be the ultimate phone. Sure, it might not come natively with huge space, but you do have expandable storage. So really, you'll have more than either of the other two phones listed. It'll also be cheaper, even with a 128GB microSD card taken into account.

5.7" screen. Front facing speakers. 1440p screen. Fast charging. Next to stock Android. Custom designed by you. What more could you ask for?

note 5 for the looks, battery life, camera, processor and some nice software aditions. and if you don't like touchwiz, you could install a custom rom once they'll be avaible

another option would be the lg g4 but i'd stick to the note 5

I completely forgot about The Moto X Style. It's got a stupid name, but I heard about it a few days ago and it looks like a pretty kick ass phone. I'm sure there's something else I could want, but not that I can think of right now. :)

Haha, I think it's the Moto X Pure or something in America. So. That's a little bit better?

One should ever invest in the first iteration of any piece of technology..

Haha, it's not that old!

Honestly though. If you can. I'd just wait the month or so to see what the new Nexus phones are like.

That's what I'm doing. If I get an invite for a OnePlus 2 in the mean time I'll buy one, though I can't really see that happening.

Currently the G4, OP2 and Moto X style are the best phones around, along with the S6 (edge) and note 5. However on a serious note, if you wait a month or so, the iPhone 6S will come out, and as much as people may not like them here, it'll be the fastest phone available and likely have the best SoC of any smartphone, plus iPhones are very good IMO, I'd have one over my Z3 if I could afford it.

It's the interface, and lack of customization. I like my androids.
