I have been using my S6 since last year of August, and well... the S6 is getting slow for me at least. The home button doesn't sometimes work properly (I have to fully press it down, I used to be able to do it not as hard) and the CPU is like a Celeron. It literally freezes up on Instagram and even other social media apps.

 

What phones should I get? (on Verizon)

the sky is up

Reset your phone. I have a galaxy S6. It works fine as long as I'm not trying to compare it to galaxy S8. If you're a power user and need that 1 second faster app lounch time - go for S8. (obvious sarcasm)

 

I'm probably getting the new S8 just because I like it. I don't need it. It's my OCD telling me what to do.

S6 is still a great phone. It's just that Androids need to be reset every 6 months or soo.. It's always been like this

S8+ is too big for me though..

its not massive. its the same size in width to the s7 edge and less than 1cm taller. so still a similar size to an s6 edge which was only a little bigger than the s6!
i have small hands and its perfectly usable. ive tried the s8 and its really small!
