Basically I am looking at
SGSII
Samsung Captivate II
Google Nexus (The new one coming out)
I don't mind waiting till it comes out. I am buying them outright, also I use a pay as you go plan, and I don't think I will need a data plan, as I have wireless pretty much everywhere.
Thanks
from the rumors, def wait for the new google nexus.
Since you're willing to wait, then I suggest waiting for the Nexus Prime. If you wanted to buy one now, then it would be the SGS II.
nexus prime is almost here cant you wait 3 more months?
I have the HTC inspire 4G big bucks but worth it .
K4GET
Check out HTC Vigor (Thunderbolt 2 ?).
I'm looking at phones now too and I think I'm most likely going with the HTC Vigor, which I've just read may end up being the Thunderbolt 2. I believe it will be out around Oct. 5-6. Really nice rumored specs, if they are correct it is a fantastic phone.
I might wait until the Nexus Prime comes out to see what that has but if it's a few months my old phone may not make it until that one comes out. Not sure when it's releasing.
What is the pay as you go you are using and is it a nationwide option? My contract is up and I was going to switch to Verizon with the new purchase but I'm curious if you end up saving money doing it your way? The cost of the phone is a lot more, how long does it take for you to recup that? How much do you use the phone and how much do you end up spending per month? I really don't use my current phone that much but it's not a smartphone so I expect my usage to increase once I get a new one.
3 Months? I don't want to wait too long. I thought it might come out in October?
On theprimesmartphone.com it says november
Anyone hear carriers for HTC Sensation SE? This or the Vigor look very promising as long as one hits Verizon.
Darn, I don't want to wait that long, considering the phone I have now is about 7 years old and the backlight doesn't work.
I hear the SGSII is a good phone. I think I would perfer something that is made by Samsung.

I am on Rogers pay as you go, I do the 100$ a year option. Basically I don't use that money up, I use my phone rarely, however, when I get this new phone, it may change (Considering it is like going from a a win95 computer to a win7). If I had a plan, I believe it would be at least 30$ a month, so in about 3 months, I would pay the same amount I would normally in a year. Buying it outright is still cheaper considering that you are probably locked for a 3 year contract.
If I got a SGSII, I would pay 600$ for the phone, and then 300$ for 3 years of pay as you go, so 900$. If I got a plan for 3 years, it would be 170$ + 50$x12x3 = 1970$, (It said a minimum amount of 50$/month), so yea, I am saving 1000$ although, I don't use my phone too much, so if you are a big talker, and you go through the 100$ in less than 2 months, a plan would be better.
take this phone for free

Or Samsung galaxy NOTE!
Hey so I just saw a video on the Galaxy S6 and I'm a little unhappy that they're removing the ability to expand memory and swap batteries. But in the end it may be worth it. TouchWiz doesn't look so bad now and I can't even imagine what future phones by Samsung will look like because of this one. Do you think removing the ability to expand memory and swap batteries is a good step in phone development by Samsung?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m247fbdJoE
Just came to learn today that it will leave just over 23 GB out of its base 32 GB model to us. Of course I am not here to moan about the microSD expansion disability. I am just a bit hesitated as the number of my media files is increasing and so is the media file size. The 4k recording is also there. Once they left us with no option to expand memory by ourselves they could have been more economical about the usage of the OS and pre-installed app's memory space.
Definitely will not purchase a Samsung device because they removed those two features. I'll have to wait till Oneplusone 2 comes out and use CM12 on it.

I think you're a bit late to the game with this discussion. This topic has been discussed pretty much in every single thread on this forum.
Thanks, yeah I had a feeling about that. I had a quick skim down the forms and I saw that most topics were about prices for the new devices.
Personally, I don't think it's an issue if they remove those two features. I assume the new devices will have quick charging times similar to the Galaxy Note 4 and the picture and 4k video could simply be moved to your desktop if you have one. So in conclusion, the new devices may be in favor to those who have a pace where they can place the large media files elsewhere.
i understand why they decided not to go for the removable back cover. but, the more I think about it, I can't understand why they can't allow some kind of spring loaded battery and SD card insert on the sides of the phone.
I believe it is because they're aiming for a bit of a more deluxe approach to their new phones similar to the iPhone

i thought the whole "deluxe" feel was about ditching the removable plastic back. i think they could easily retain the feel while adding slots in the sides. maybe they'd have to sacrifice a few mm's to do so, though.
Coming from a Nexus 4 and now a nexus 5 for the past year and a half here are my thoughts
Its no longer beneficial to be in the nexus program. Lollipop has been a buggy mess. I've put up with 2 cycles of really bad cameras and im not waiting for google to fix it. They cant even write a proper camera app. I'm getting home screen redraws and maps crashing. I'm just tired of putting up with the compromises the nexus line brings. It was okay when the phone was $350 but now with the 6 at the same price as the S6. its unacceptable
That saying i preordered the s6 today and played with it in store
Camera - Snappy and focuses fast. I think this might be the first time you can actually use an android camera like you use an iphone camera
yes i can get good photos out of my nexus 5 but the subjects must be static and the lighting must be perfect
build. feels very good. very nexus 4 like. feels good in the hand
Software - listen its samsung.Dont expect anything revolutionary in this area. As soon as i get the phone im slapping nova launcher on it and never looking back
It feels fast. I started running wifi direct sharing and bluetooth sharing and couldnt get it to slow up. My nexus 5 receiving the files was slowing down
Display - literally the best you can get on a phone right now. I'm a photo buff so this was huge for me. The nexus 5 display was good but not great. it will be nice to be on a top tier display
Overall im ready to move on from the nexus compromises and seem like i will finally get a phone that has my number 1 want. A solid camera and a good build. I really think samsung did well with the choices the made on this phone. Part of me wants to ride out my nexus 5 until the note 5 but i worry about the size
some photos i took

I finally got to handle some S6 variants in person today.
Did anyone else notice that the white and black colors are different between the standard S6 and Edge? Haven't seen reviewers mention that.
On the standard S6, black is just straight black, but on the S6 Edge, it has a bit of blue tint to it, which looks better in my opinion than straight boring black.
As for white, the standard S6 is again just a straight color, white, but on the Edge, white is really more like a pearl color with more sheen to it, which actually looks worse than straight white in my opinion.
If I go with a standard S6 (most likely), then I will choose white, but if I were going Edge, I would choose the black version as the white Edge looks a bit girly and weird to me with that pearly sheen.
Is it possible to beat this dead horse anymore? DONT BUY IT!!!
I agree about the Nexus 5 and Active S6 may have SD card, WP, replaceable battery.
Lockeskidney, I agree with you about the Nexus. The Nexus seems to run best on 4.4.4 . I like Lollipop but the upgrades did not fix issues. The main and most pressing issue was dropped WiFi and data. I do know how to factory flash, wipe, and setup as new phone. I finally went back to 4.4.4 rooted with xposed and trying to wait until I can figure out what to get. The battery life and camera (slow focus makes it difficult to get the perfect shot--really noticeable when compared to iPhone) need improvements but otherwise a good phone. Loved freedom of unlocked boot loader and being able to root. Tweaks make the phone so much more functional and even can be personalized to individual wants and needs. With that said, I used stock roms with tweaks. Loved cyanogenmod 11 and tried 12 but also had connection issues.
I decided against s6 because the battery will require a service center for more people who are uncomfortable with the teardown procedure required. I have replaced iPhone batteries before and would attempt with Nexus, but s6 is a bit much more than I am willing to risk. This was the deal breaker for me.
Samsung made a point to consider about mixing two types of memory. Still the SD option is nice.
I would have liked waterproofing, but I could have probably fixed that with a case though they can be hard to hear on. Waterproofing built in is a strong plus! Life happens.
I am really tired of the "thinnest phone" form over function. Really, I' d rather have a longer lasting battery, extra storage if needed, and waterproofing. The s5 port looked easy to remove for those who did not want it.
There may be a S6 active variant for those customers on AT&T (and those who can get unlocked). THIS is what I want to see specs on before making decision. Otherwise, I am considering Samsung Note 4 or S5. Looks like it will be the same with exception of having hardware buttons, lower camera megapixels while keeping OIS, no heart rate monitor, and no fingerprint scanner. However, it is rumored to have larger capacity battery ( so maybe no wireless charging which is OK with me), SD slot, and waterproof! That would make sense for the other group of us that value function over form and are putting a case on it anyway . I would like Samsung pay too. For these things I might be willing to try phone as is without modifications.
For the record, I currently came from iPhone and have been using Nexus 5 for about 15 months.

Damn that's high - $50 above AT&T. AT&T's $10 a month to add it to a plan so I guess T-Mobile at $5 makes up for it over the long run. I got my AT&T Gear S3 for $49 because they allowed my S7 Edge to qualify as a "new Galaxy purchase" when I exchanged my second Note7 for it. T-Mobile's selling the Gear S2 Sport for $100 off making a year old watch $259. I guess T-Mobile doesn't want to sell a lot of watches.
I've a feeling T-Mobile will lower the price.
Other than being able to use the LTE version without the phone, are there any other perks I'm not seeing? I've already pre ordered the non LTE version and wondering if I may want to switch.

I've had either a 3G Gear S2 or S2 Classic since they were released. And a Gear S (only 3G) before that. There are times you don't want to have to carry your phone with you; especially a phablet. Like going to the clubs, working out, beach/pool, or when you need to leave your phone charging. With either auto-call forwarding or one number (AKA AT&T NumberSync) whatever you do on your phone (except taking pictures) is on your wrist. It's very liberating and, to me, worth $10 a month.
I got the IconX headphones and they solve the "not being one of those people having a speakerphone conversation on their wrist" problem. Their case is incredibly compact and easy to carry around in your pocket. For calls they operate in mono so you only need to put one in your ear. They're "auto on" so all you need to do is take it out of the case, put in year ear, and you're instantly connected. They turn off when they lose contact with your flesh. Very 21st century.
Intriguing. Thanks. I take it battery life takes a hit with the LTE version. Decisions.
Last Samsung watch I owned was the original Gear with the camera in the band. Still around here someplace but it no longer takes a charge.

I'm pretty sure it only takes a hit when you leave your phone. If you're going phoneless most of the day, then it may be an issue.
A little movement from T-Mobile. $416.67 month for 24 months works out to $10,000.08. What a bargain!!!

The SoC in the Gear S3 is far more advanced and efficient than those that preceded it.
Samsung Exynos 7 Dual (7270) is a dedicated processor for wearable that presents a new paradigm to the wearable industry. In addition to advanced 14nm FinFET process, integrated LTE modem with various connectivities, and 64-bit dual-core CPU, the Exynos 7 Dual integrates memory and Power management IC all in a small tiny package making it perfect for slim form-factor wearable devices that are powerful and has incredibly long battery life.
http://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/Exynos/w/solution/mod_ap/7270/
Between it and the far larger battery I'd be surprised if an LTE Gear S3 couldn't make it through a 12 hour day in stand-alone mode.

I had one too. I loved that watch and the camera got panned but I got some great pictures I wouldn't have if I had to fumble for my phone.

Over the years, I've tried various types of headsets- in ear, on ear, ear buds, neckband. No design has been completely satisfactory. I think the mechanism by which we talk/listen on a watch phone is the last problem requiring a totally new technical innovation. The best concept I've seen so far is a project that originated out of Samsung's labs called Sgnl. I hope it makes it to production.

The problem the IconX solves for me is portability. Its small tubular (charging) case allows me to stick it cleanly in my pocket. That's opposed to wearing a dog collar BT headset around my neck (Gear Circle) or fumbling with a wired headset or God awful looking 80's era traditional in-ear BT head piece. With my IconX in my pocket its easier to leave my phone at home and manage calls and listen to music on my Gear and not look like a moron when I'm not using it.
Just ordered and will be delivered on Tuesday. T-Mobile is inundated with calls for the S3 and I can see them running out of stock fast.
Would have loved to pick it up but none of the T-Mobile stores in Lower Manhattan have them in stock.
None of the TMO in my area has stock either, I had to call in to place an order and will be getting it Mon or Tues.
Ordered mine this morning, its still says:
Order date: 11/18/2016 at 05:14 AM PST
Order status: Being Processed
Estimated to ship: 11/18/2016-11/23/2016
Just picked mine up from the T-Mo store. They only got one in and were holding it for me. It's on the charger. Haven't played with it yet. $20 for the wearable unlimited plan.

Online its only $15, when you setup autopay. I bet the store clerk didnt tell you when you bought it
It's rather nice being able to leave my phone home for short trips to the supermarket.
I have just found it, looks like a bargain to me... I know it is not perferct, and definitely a no-no for the 700€ they asked when released, but for 275.... opinions?
Thanks.
I bought mine 3 weeks ago for 360 euro and am definitely happy with it. For 275 eur your can't go wrong in my opinion.
great phone ath this price
I am also considering this phone since in my country i can get it for 300 euros. Only concern I have is battery life and heating... Some reviewers reported heating while regular use and extensive heating while playing games. Russians posted a review where the temperature got up to 57C...
Well i am coming from snapdragon 808 based phone (lg v10) so this one is definitely much cooler. During normal benchmarks for a new phone (antutu 6, 3dmark) it scored well for snapdragon 821 based phone and remained cool. I personally do not play heavy games but for multimedia (including 4k stream from youtube) it does not get hot. Regarding battery life - comparing with my lg v10 which also have 3000 mah battery i get better battery life from the u ultra with the same apps. Standby drain is good and with light usage it can get up to 3 or maybe even 4 days. With my typical moderate to light usage (1 hour music listening, 30 minutes watching video, maybe around 2 hours browsing and viber chat per day) it easily handles 2 days usage so i am ok with that.
Thank you for your reply. What version do u have ( i mean color). Also, that battery life is too good to be true in my opinion since everyone bashed it battery. And the size ? is it a problem since i never used big phones.
I have the unlocked european version. Color is black. Size is similar to my old V10 and is not uncomfortable at least for me. It is good idea to get it in your hand before buying. Regarding the battery - i come from phone with bad battery life due to the combination of big screen and hot and power hungry cpu so u ultra is improvement for me. I personally rate battery life as average. If you come from phone with better battery life you can be disappointed but with quick charge enabled chargers, car adapters and even power banks these days it is not so much of a problem. My advice is to see the battery life rating in gsm arena review and compare it with the rating of your current phone to see if it will be better or worse.
Since my current phone is a Nexus 6, I don't think its size is going to be a problem.
That is the problem i cant see phone in person i can order it only online. Thank you for your replays.
I sold my s8 plus for it. I have the 128GB Saphire Edition any i love it. 6 to 7 sot mo lag great Camera and no heat at all..

Amazon, the prices vary sharply depending on the colour and storage capacity. Right now, 32GB black units cost 189€ (damn, it wasn't like that a month ago, I'd happily give up 32GB for a 90€ discount)
Whereas 64GB pinks cost 365€
I don't think there is a 32gb variant of u ultra, is it? As far as I remember only 64gb and 128gb for the sapphire glass edition.
So it might be the u play..?

You guys are right. When you select 64GB, it is a U Ultra, but if you switch to 32, it is a U Play unit instead. I think this is a mistake (I have just reported it) that could lead to buy the wrong phone . Anyway, the prices vary from a colour to other. Currently, the cheapest is the white one, for 262€, when I purchased it a month ago, the black one was the cheapest.

Battery life is pretty average. Not good, not bad. 6-7/10. But there is no heat or lag. Works fine
Definitely better than in MotoZ
Temps are ok unless quick charging, but that is generally normal. Sometimes small lags happen.
For this price is much better than any chinese phone, unless you can't handle this size.
I have been watching the development of folding devices for a few years. I've decided to go for it, as the tech seems reliable this time. I like the idea of a more compact phone like the old Motorola V3.
Pre-ordered the 128GB Version in green.
What's your thoughts?
I will be, just deciding on the colour.
I had an original Z Flip and really liked it, but there were a couple of annoyances with it - namely the inside screens protector which got oily and grubby within seconds. I could have removed it, but there were concerns over voiding warranty at the time, and I didn't really want to chance it.
The external screen was also completely pointless, something else they have remedied this time round.
The only thing making me pause, is that I know I will want the Pixel 6 Pro when that launches, and the fact that Samsung haven't done anything to these cameras from the OG Flip.
Early photo samples seem 'ok', but I may wait for official reviews before fully committing.
Just preordered my wife the pink 256gb and myself the grey 256gb version.
We have S10s now that have been great but are ready to enter the flip phone arena. She is excited about using the camera from outside cover with the pic preview option as well as the flex mode for video calls.
I am excited about a compact phone to throw in my pocket and flex mode for video calls etc.
Kind of bummed out about the 3.5mm jack but just ordered some usb C to 3.5mm adapters on amazon should be good to go.
We have $100 credit each left via samsungs website....will probably get the clear ring case for my wife and maybe leather for me. Also interested to see what Spigen comes up with, I see on amazon you can already order their cases.

I've gone for a Naked skin from Slickwraps.
Thanks I will check that one out. I'll have 5 cases in before I even get the phone
Pretty crap they don’t include the case in the box like they did with the OG Fold.
I never really liked it, but it was handy when I was out and about and wanted that extra protection!
One that's compact yet powerful and is not "bar" type = Flip 3, so probably will get one.
With 120Hz display refresh rate and not so power efficient(!) SD888, the 3300 mAh battery might become a concern.
I have the green 256gb on pre order, looking foward to a flip phone again, fold 3 is to heavy.
Trading in a 8t, I'm sure the flip 3 will take better photos??
I am watching youtube vids on flip 3, some say camera concerns. We use sammy S10's right now for the past few years, flip 3 probably has drastically better camera then our S10?
Can't imagine Samsung would release a phone with subpar cameras. Obviously, not going to be the same standard as the S21 Ultra.
Good review below
ordered the cream 256GB. After using the note9 for 3 years I'm sick of large heavy phones.
I also really miss my starTac's from the 90's.
I would have bought the Flip2 5G but I need the IP rating as I do a lot of exercising/sweating with the phone.
My only concern is the wireless charging/NFC with a magentic mount such as scosche. I have wireless charging everywhere (car, bedroom, office, lounge, kitchen).. so battery life is not a concern.
Like the previous post, I've got tired of big heavy phones (currently Note10+) but also just looking forward to having something a bit different. Phones have got really samey and just not as much fun to own anymore. Hoping the flip 3 brings back the excitement of owning something a bit different, even if I will have to charge it every 5 min
my gf have the original flip, the first one. (hey, of course she want it, i'm the one that paid for it).
it' time to upgrade to flip3 since the more you fold/open/close the flip, the crease going to get worse.
i ordered the 256gb flip3 since it' the same price as the 128gb flip3 with the 50$ credits applied to 256gb flip3.
I got mine today works great, looking forward to root and ROMS!

Finally found the man who's responsible for companies making phones thinner and thinner before 2020, thus providing smaller and smaller batteries.
Pre-order grey 256GB and seem like next month only can get it here at Malaysia. I'm after the technology as Samsung said screen is 80% better than before. Camera seem not really superb but usable as daily use.

I have the green 256gb on pre order, looking foward to a flip phone again, fold 3 is to heavy.
Trading in a 8t, I'm sure the flip 3 will take better photos??

I'm doing the same. Got a OP8 5G through a tmobile promo half off so i only paid about $400 for it if I remember correctly. Now tmobile is giving me $1000 trade-in credit for it. The offer is just too good to pass up, even though I'm really going to miss my OP8

I think I must plead guilty, after years of giant phones I've genuinely had enough and am ready for a change
