I would rather have a beautiful phone with high-end hardware at a great price, even if it means a smaller install-base and OS. Because I don't need many apps, and so if the phone functions well, and is compatible with the few and far between apps that I use, then I'd be content. 

 

On the other hand, leaving the Android Ecosystem would be rough...

If  you read between the lines you can kind of guess which OS is which with the descriptions.

I have a Motorola Moto X Force.

So far , One of the best phones iv used. The Only down side i can think of is that Motorola said that the top PET cover is scratch resistant, And i found out that it isnt. If i put this phone along side my keys , It would get starched. But oh well , I guess its small price to pay for the shatter proof screen.

I use a Sony Xperia Z5 with a 200gb micro SD card - It's glorious.

I prefer android, since I love emulating NES, SNES, N64 and more on the move without rooting/jailbreaking anything.

Decent battery life, waterproof, and a rather gorgeous phone in my opinion (I have the black version)

I'm fairly certain that there isn't a single 4GB iPhone that runs iOS 9, making that option invalid lol.

Anyone who has used 6.0 will pick 6.0

 

the battery gains are INSANE

 

 

at least my LG G2 with CM13 is INSANE, it loses 0% battery overnight. Yes. 0.

Exactly, the poll makes the windows phone seem the most attractive, so it will mess  up the voting

 

I dont care how much I like iOS I wouldnt buy a 4gb phone in 1000 years

if it works it works is really my mentality. And I want to be able to change stuff I want and also have a lot of apps and not all my big coorporations. Android suits me the best

I hope Motorola devices see the same gains, my Moto G and E are probably my only Android devices getting 6.0(Xperia might, you never know with Sony. Also I would totes flash a 6.0 ROM on my S3 lol). Longer battery is always welcomed :)

On iOS or Android? iOS its not acceptable, but on Android if its expandable(like SD) then its okay(not the best, not the worst).

I know. I was trying to see how loyal people are to their platform.

 

There was also a 200GB Nokia option LMAO :D

I chose the "iPhone" option in each case. I don't like Windows Phone at all, and Android is a slow, irritating PoS. 

I kind of ignored that it would be 4GB since iOS 9 would not run on such a small device and so it was clearly ridiculous. Besides, I use cloud services almost exclusively so local storage is only really an issue for Apps rather than any media.
