Nexus 5x/6P

 

The m9 has heating issues 

Everything samsung i owned i hated. (personal opinion) 

Fun fact: my flat also has "heating issues"

 

It's worth mentioning that pretty much every phone nowadays will have thermal throttling issues when faced with an unrealistic load. I wouldn't not buy an M9 just because of the cooling issues but because I found something that's legitimately better.

Hello today I'm looking at getting a new phone because it seems like my Samsung galaxy light is out of date. I'm lookin at the HTC One M9 or Samsung Galaxy Note5 witch one is the best? I hear good things about both. I can't decide. 

 

I would prefer the AMOLED screen and fingerprint scanner on the Note 5...but the front facing speakers on the M9 are superb. Depends what you mostly do on your device...

I would go with the Note 5 personally. The Samsung AMOLED panel on it is beautiful and overall the constructions looks very nice.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartment

An apartment (in American English) or a flat (in British English) is a self-contained housing unit (a type of residential real estate) that occupies only part of a building.

 

And could you give me evidence that this is true of the most recent M9s and not just hearsay or something that happened with the first few batches?

Just re-watched it. It's worth mentioning that he says that all Snapdragon 810 devices were thermal throttling. There you are though recommending a Snapdragon 810 device in the Nexus 6P.

 

I'm not contesting that recommendation of the 6P but if you're putting the M9 down for thermal throttling, you must also put down the 6P.

 

 

Ok. Thanks

The Note 5 is a really good phone but try it out in person before committing to it. Same goes with every phone really. Don't buy it based on "this phone looks good on paper" or "this phone has a great screen" or "this phone has the best OS", buy it because in your opinion it is the best phone based on your own experiences. Most people on here chat utter shit about what they believe to be best.
