You should see the S6 in real. It was unbelievable just how pretty it looked.

The iPhone obviously has a better ecosystem, but being a Samsung stan, I'll recommend the S6.

 

You can wait for the S6 Edge + or the Note 5.

I'm getting the Note 5 soon.

The edge is more durable though.

The new Nokia.

Listen to the sounds it makes as it smacks the floor.

meh, they will both crack eventually. Edge is really uncomfortable, even for short periods...

Go with what OS you like the most.

All this topic will be is apple fanboys and apple hatters bagging the phones and saying bad things about them

(I apparently sound like my mum)

 

iPhones have worse specs, But iOS is a less demanding OS.

Android phones in general have better specs but they have Google Chrome preinstalled (Yes i made that joke)

 

Apple has more apps on the app store.

Android Apps are cheaper and you can install 3rd party app's too.

 

Apple has an ecosytem that isn't that bad.

Samsung REALLY doesn't

Personally, if those were my only options I would go with the S6 Edge.

But the answer highly depends on how much you like Android and iOS.

 

Also, one is a phablet and one is a regular smartphone. Wouldn't it make more sense to pick between the S6 Edge and the iPhone 6, or the Note 5 and the iPhone 6+?

Can you stop offending Europe... Well yeah he could get the Note 5 (If he lives where we know where he better pull an extra 200€) but since he wants the S6 Edge might as well just get the newer one if storage is not a "limiter"

You're going to put a case on it anyways.... 

I really don't see the difference.

If I had to choose, I'll get the S6 just because it's cheaper

I would say s6 edge for looks. But depends on the os actually i used to use iphone 5 and now im using note 4, spec wise note 4 wins big time but if os wise i like ios with no bullshit stuff but samsung have a lot of stuff that just tends to make your phone lag and shit.

insurance, if I had money to buy 600 eur phone I would drop 30eur a year to have it insured. Putting cases on expensive phones completely defeats the point of expensive phones.

A case costs like $10 on Amazon.

I'd still get a case even with insurance.

 

I have Asurion and I have to pay a filing fee which costs $50-$100.

Exactly it costs $10 and it feels like $10 and it looks like $10 when you pay 600 for the fucking phone.

 

Why would you put a case on an insured phone, what's the point.

 

What the fuck is a filling fee.

Deductables. 

$50 for malfunctioning or broken phone

$100 for lost or stolen phones.

Price doubles if it's an iPhone.

On top of this, you pay $10 per month.

I might be paying a bullshit price but I'll still say a potato case is better than no case at all.

Yes :(

If that sweet ass glass back won't crack it's all dank... 

It might be just me seeing how much rant I'm getting.

but as long the insurance cover so why not. It is not so easy to break tho i didn't use s6 before but at least i did use iphone 4 which is glass front and back too for a solid year with few drops occasionally, it does not break as easy as people say tho. Maybe is just my luck. 

If you wanna cover it might as well get s6 active?

I've tried both phones on-hand in stores. iPhone 6+ is damn huge when compared to the S6 edge imo (I have small hand btw). But I agree with others than S6 edge is slightly awkward/uncomfortable to hold because of the round screen edges and weird flat back. With 6+ you need to hold it both hands anyway. Ecosystem wise, I kinda prefer iOS over android because of the general snappiness and everything just plain works (I'm not too fussy with specs which means nothing much to iOS either). But if you like tinkering/total customisation of your phone then Android is better option.

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT.

 

I've never used any case whatsoever for all smartphones I owned. I like them bare and stay true to its original shape/ergonomics. Never had any problems with any drops or scratch too. I don't even use any screen protector from day one and screen still perfect till today. #Lumiamasterrace

 

Invest on a phone

Invest on the shell of the phone

Invest on the feel of the phone

 

Then suddenly take the investment away by adding a case

 

^I agree. Like using extra thick condoms for extra protection but voiding you of any sensation/feeling when in action. LOL
