Hey there,
I am looking at the xperia Z5 aswel as the s6, I am able to get both for roughly the same price. I am torn between the two and I feel I need you guys to persuade me to sway towards the s6 asmote and more reading on the z5 has made me want to get it instead of the s6. I also need help on which model I should get, these are the only ones available to me for the same price. An S6 32 GB in topaz blue, sapphire gold, an edge version in 32gb black sapphire or a 64gb normal s6 in black sapphire. Thank you.
Forgot to mention that I've twice tried to purchase the s6 edge and both times experienced serious problems/issues, I am currently in the process of receiving a refund from my latest s6 edge purchase. It seems like god doesn't want me to get an s6 lol.
at this point i would recommend you waiting for the upcoming s7...it should be release within 1 or 2 months and will be superior to everything avaiable right now

I would but money is an issue for me. I have a good used phone supplier so that's why I have those choices, an s7 would be more than double of what I can afford to pay.

I'm getting one, just not sure if I am going with Sprint or TMobile. Thoughts?
I am, getting the gold 64gb since 128gb is no where in sight
I'm getting the black 64gb on Sprint.
I'm thinking about picking one up, haven't completely made my mind up yet.
I ordered mine from Amazon. I have no upgrade eligibility so I figured use the Amazon credit card lol. I got the 32 gig. That has always been enough space for me.
Getting a 32 gb for my girlfriend on Sprint, but waiting for the availability of the Edge in the the green color.
64 black edge preordered at best buy
price is going to turn away a lot of people.. i think samsung is demanding too much money for the Edge compared to the S6 ($100 or more in some cases)
there is no way to justify the increase in price just for a slightly different curve phone..
also, S6 has close to 20 million orders from Samsung, only 5 million or so for Edge version so that gives you an idea that while the Edge won't be a total failure, the S6 will have bigger support just because price is more realistic.
I am going to wait until price drops in a few months. because of samsung Greed (and forcing me to spend more money on a 64GB version) when i would have bought a 32Gb on release day if it had SD card) now i wait for them to be cheaper..

if anything find some friends with tmo and sprint in your area and ask them to do a speed test
in my area i get amazing results occasionally going over 50mbps. i also like contracts lol. i dont want to spend full price for the phone like tmo makes you.

it was really hard to justify the edge but i remembered how i felt back when i had the s1 and s2. it felt good not having the same phone as everyone else. no a days everyone has an s3, 4 or 5 and i can see the s6 being way too popular and common for me

yeah they shouldnt have set the jumps to $100
had they set it to $50 they would have been praised so much
i know i would have had no doubt about getting the 128gb edge if they did and i bet so many more people would have felt the same way
but im going to settle with the 64gb edge
I preordered a Gold 64GB Edge. Hoping to receive it at least a couple days early.

I'm getting the black 64gb on Sprint, moving over from T-Mobile
64 gb for Sprint. Pre ordered from best buy.
Please post any Edge deals or availability of gold variant.
Best Buy has no word on gold
Sprint's website only show black and white
Amazon has the 64gb gold for pre-order for $399.99 with $30 worth of free apps. Warning, apps in Amazon store are waaaay outdated.
I pre-ordere black form BB to swap to gold later in order to get the free wireless charger, $59 retail.
I wouldn't mind having one.
Went to Best Buy for a "hands on" experience, and I have to say, this blew my M8 out of the water for screen quality.
A very good looking phone. I didn't realize however, that there wasn't a micro SD slot. That's a no go for me in the end, but it is truly a beautiful phone.

It sucks they won't let us get out early even though sprint is already starting to ship them

Hi Everyone,
I currently have sprint galaxy s4. I was hoping to upgrade to the s6 when it came out but didn't like how some of the feature were missing, such as no removable battery, expandable storage, and the water resistant. Therefore, I hold off on it. I've done some research already on the trade off of the s6 vs the s5. So, I still have some questions that I hope people with the s5 can answer.
1) Does anyone know when sprint will lower the price of the s5 down some more since it was a last year model? It's currently $199 after rebate with a 2 year contract renewal. I don't want to buy it now if it just goes down to $50 the next week.
2) Anyone here use the hotspot app in the app section? If so, have you been charge for it? One user mentioned that it show that he used up his tethering plan.
3) Any reason why you think I should just get the s5 instead of the s6 that is not mentioned here yet?
Thanks
If you're eligible for an upgrade try Amazon. They have the S5 for literally $1.00. I managed to get mine just after Thanksgiving for free from them. It's definitely worth it. I know it's not the latest and greatest but a couple of advantages over the S6 are the removable battery and you can add a micro SD card.
Forgot to mention; I'm on SERO. Thanks code101 though.
Just order the s5 online at sprint. Can't wait til I get it.
Looks like nobody is buying Samsung S6. In the face of pressure from MXPE for sure:

Why am I so happy? I think when a greedy exec loses, we win!...
I almost bought the note 5 international version for 589 on eBay the other day. Figured I'd stick with my pure order though but those flagship prices dropping rapidly is great news for consumers.
Big reason I such with the pure is the sd card and non glass black.

Yeah, very much the same reasons except may be I need to add, unlocked bootloader...custom leather back..front speakers...works on all 4 carriers...and may be, just may be, NO BLOAT!...
Or maybe it has nothing to do with the Pure. Maybe it's because more people like and prefer the S6 Edge rather than the regular S6, and they're trying to offload the less popular of the two by putting it on sale.
Just a thought.

Yeah, that's a possibility. But I think Edge is going down too.... MXPE is bringing the house down....
Sales for the S6 have been way down.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/05/20/samsung-galaxy-s6-bad-sales/
I dont think it has to do something with the Pure... I can see huge pricedrops on all Early/Mid 2015 Flashship Phones. Galaxy S6 is down to ~399€ including a cashback that samsung offers here. HTC One is at 450€ - All the 32GB version... So the MOto X is not really a "mid-highend phone with a great price" here in germany. I paied 509€ with Moto Maker. Even the S6 Edge is cheaper
I had the Edge...got tired of the feel of the phone in hand. Curved screen is a gimmick for sure. Had I went with the standard screen to begin with I may not have made the jump to the Pure. Glad I had the Edge because I made the jump and the Pure is by far my favorite phone up to this point. But the S6 is now almost 6 months old! In dog years that's like "ancient" LOL! So I think the price drop is more a result of age than anything else. I also think that's a major reason why nearly all manufacturers are making these things less end user serviceable. They figure with new phones coming out every 6 months who's ever going to need to replace a battery? So they just need to make room for the newest phones now.

Actually, age did not matter earlier. For example, I couldn't find unlocked m8 even after 1 year of its release below 500$. Same thing with S5. S6 price drop has been unusual in my tracking of device prices over the years (since 2008).
I have 200GB of storage on my MXPE.
I can have every app, every game, and whole lot of books, music, and movies, with plenty of room for backups and never have to store stuff in the cloud.
Plus I can OTG another 128GB if I feel crazy.

I get that you love your phone but this is just silly... The S6 price drop has nothing to do with the MPX, in fact the MPX will more then likely not even outsell the S6 though its sales arent as good as previous years, samsung kind of canabalized the S6 sales by releasing the edge at the same time as the S6, also they're about to do the same with the edge after releasing the edge+, but theres also another phone coming out that will outsell every phone out there, you might have heard of it, its called a new iPhone...by your logic the MPX should drop in price too actually all phones should drop in price, since the iPhone will kill everyone elses sales LOL...

Yes, it likely has everything to do with iPhone release.
But in the Android market, MXPE sells for 400$ and is a great phone. Why would anybody spend 600+ if they are looking for an Android phone? I never said MXPE has or will outsell S6. All I said was that S6 may be seeing pressure from MXPE in the Android market. If you don't want the Apple ecosystem, you have every reason to land on MXPE instead of S6. MXPE is just so much a better phone for less. Samsung knows it.

I'd agree with you the MXP is a better phone now but here's the thing that price reduction is from a ebay store, its not a corporate samsung store, u walk into one they'll still charge you the 600+ retail...so while samsung says this is the retail, individuals can choose to sell the device for as high or as low as they want...so my point is i guess this reduction really has nothing to do with Samsung feeling pressure from Moto and more that the individual seller just wanted to get rid of his own S6 stock.
Probably has more to do with this... BTW on that sale there is no warranty from manufacturer...

You don't say? There will be a S7 in the Spring?
Seriously the phone markets are in flux right now. First, upgrades are pretty minimal. Second, subsidies are non existent for man. As such, people are starting to think twice about buying $800 devices, especially when many of their bucket wish list items are getting removed.
So it is no surprise that people are starting to not upgrade for big bucks and hold off or looking maybe to spend 40% less and still enjoy an upgrade.

Rumors are claiming no Plus version this year, unless they're released at a later date.
Judging by the s7 edges size and specs can't imagine why they'd bother making a plus. A new note will probably be the next release
Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there wont be a s7 edge plus. Unless they make it with a 6" which is highly unlikely.
Seems by making a 5.5" screen, they are attracting users from both s6 edge plus and the s6 edge.

I disagree.
Samsung official said in an interview just one day ago that they want to shorten the cycle of their flag-ship releases to twice a year.
Either this means that they will bring the + versions in 6 months, or they will start offering Note series as another flagship to a larger audience (of Galaxy S series buyers).
It's so easy to just interim update existing models. It's the cheapest option for manufacturers and requires very little expensive re-tooling changes.
Also, it's a way for them to keep the prices and margins high throughout the whole sales year.
So yes, I think there'll probably be + versions towards late summer, early fall.
As to what the changes/differences will be, I don't know, but I doubt it'll be anything that big.
There's a guy selling a used s7 for us$275. New it's $450.
It's not international model though. It's the Canadian model & I don't know if it's unlocked or not yet.
Do u think it's a good deal or are there better alternatives?
That's not a good deal, imo.
used, carrier locked good condition S7 goes for around 300 on kijiji in canada
good deal, IF you can guarantee the quality and condition
Not a good deal, I got a like-new Galaxy S7 for $230USD from eBay. I did get it for a pretty good deal, but I'm sure you could easily find one for 250~
Also, wrong section.

EDIT: I'm not going forwards with the deal. Thanks for your advice, guys!
I was buying it as a gift for my bro, but he doesn't want to change his phone (xperia z2)
I'm happy with my s6 (which I bought new on launch). I'll just save the money for an s9 or Note 9 next year if it has under screen fingerprint sensor.
