Has anyone upgraded from the S6 to the Note 5? I just upgraded from my S4 to the S6, but the battery still leaves a lot to be desired. I'm thinking hard about going back to BestBuy tonight,and swapping the S6 for the Note 5. Would like to hear from someone who has had both.

Nothing magical. Bigger battery equals more time. Note 5 has a bigger battery.
I upgraded from the S6. Best decision ever. And yes it is everything magical. Check out my battery life, which is the most noticeable feature over the S6.

I have the s6 edge and after that i will probably stick with just the note series from samsung. Ive had all the phones from the s2 up from samsung and the notes are just the best samsung has to offer. Especially with battery life
I switched from the S6 edge and enjoy much better battery life with the Note 5. I think the S pen is somewhat useful as well.

I upgraded from the 6 I just prefer the note series battery life is better. Other than that no major diff I've seen
I have both, the s6 and note 5 both set up identically and the note 5 is just a tad better on battery. I think I'm going to hard reset the note 5 and see if that helps.

I had the s6 edge, its worth it. The 3gb of ram on the s6 kills the phone. Lags like hell because of the poor ram management. The 4gb on the note makes a huge diff.

I had been planning on waiting for the Nexus 6 then last week I bought the LG G2 for $261 shipped. As it turns out the Nexus 6 will have these specs

I think it will be priced at $350 maybe $400, I saved $89 by choosing the LG G2 over the upcoming N6 the cameras look to be the same and so is the screen size, I could care less about the extra pixels since I don't think anybody would see the difference during actual use. However the SOC and extra 1GB is a nice improvement over the G2 that some of you would pay $89 for. Also the google software updates must be nice.
Overall I am glad I sprung for this phone and won't have to wait 2 months for a nexus that may or may not have better battery life. If it does I will be sad if it does not I will have undoubtedly made the right decision.
I am fixing to get mine out of lay away at the local trade it store can't wait been using a galaxy nexus for 3 years. Been watching all the leaks on shamu possibly being the nexus 6 but it may not be, either way I love the vanilla android and the fact that newer nexus devices get updates to the latest and greatest the g2 battery life is just crazy good compared to what I have been used to. Any way congrats on a great phone for a great price, I will prolly see you around on these g2 threads once I get mine and get it up and running

Guys I am really interested in your opinion for the new Nexus 5 2015 version. Would you want it and would you buy it? Personally I would be delighted if google makes another Nexus 5 with updated specs and fingerprint sensor with USB type C so it has fast charging like S6 has. The design can be the same, just little bit thinner and more "modern". What are your opinion guys? Please don't hesitate to post your opinion as it matters. Maybe if google sees this thread they change their mind and make another beloved N5
Here is one amazing concept made by Miqdal Abdul Halim

"Concept" renderings and projections are a pointless waste of time. Exynos 7420? It's already been stated that it'll have a Snapdragon 808. Dual front-facing speakers? I'd welcome it, but LG hasn't made any phone with that yet, so I'd doubt that. AMOLED? Unlikely. It'll probably be the same screen they put in the G2. I also wouldn't be surprised if all the buttons were on the back.
But yeah, I'm definitely interested in this new Nexus 5. As long as the pricing is more like the old Nexus 4/5, and not the 6, and the camera doesn't suck.
If I were to cave in to all this fanciful wanting and wishing that pervades this "concept" nonsense we're always inundated with every time a new flagship is rumored, I'd hope for a microSD slot. Android M apparently will once again have the ability (without root) to move apps to external storage, meaning we don't have to pay unreasonable amounts of for storage upgrades simply because we want to play Asphalt 8 and Game of Thrones on the same device and have enough space left to take a few pictures.

Hello friends. You may be aware of the Next gen Nexus 5 is manufactured by LG and recently in NEWS.
This is really unbelievable to see that the Next gen Nexus 5 has scores 85,530 in AnTuTu benchmark results.
See here for more info:
Google Nexus 5 (2015) AnTuTu benchmark result
As per some sources the highest ever AnTuTu was scored around 55k and was on a Samsung Exynos 7420.
Although the SoC of the latest Nexus 5 is not known but rumors says that this could be the next gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 820.
Share your thoughts.
Honestly, if this is true, don't expect the next nexus to be even close to a budget phone like the original n5 was.

Yeah definitely this.
Also, I am offput by the Nexus after my nexus 4 and all of the people I know that had them. 2 years and the phone just starts to capitulate, turning off constantly despite the battery being charged and the screens break way way too easily (1 foot drop onto lovely soft carpet :crying.

I decided to purchase the 2gb ram version of the zenpad S8,the 4gb ram isn't available in UK .....yet....
The 2k display is gorgeous especially when watching a 5gb MKV files like The Avenger's on it,smooth and not stuttering. 32 gig on board and a slot for a micro SD card is a great bonus .
Hardware wise is quite solid ...thin..light ,compared to my aging N7 feels premium.
Unfortunately the software is super bloated and I was forced to disable and unistall as much as I could to make the tablet a bit more lively.
For the £200 price I think is a great buy ,the hardware as a lot of potential, I like the new type c charging port a lot,no NFC isn't a big deal in my opinion.
If the xda ROMs developers jumps on it with creating custom ROMs this tablet should fly .
And let not forget the front facing speakers.... They sound great.
Any questions please be free to ask.

So,I have a Tab S 8.4 and I wanted to know if I should get it or not. I'll get the 4GB one though, how is the battery life and gaming performance of your tablet? I use my Tablet way more than phone. Thank you

Games run good ,battery last me all day between the usual browsing... Social network apps....and video playing ..,
Like I said a lot of bloatware that need to be disabled, only running 5.0 so battery could be better if on a custom stock lollipop rom or marshmallows.
Let's hope Source Code gets released.

Same here. Drains 3% in 1 hour.
when i checked before, i legit had 17% usage when screen on, and 18% usage when screen OFF!
are you kidding me? wtf is going on in the background that's causing MORE battery draining when idle than when the damn screen is on?
i really hope the battery doesn't suck THAT bad in this phone..
WTF!
