His face looked like he was about to (bleep) out a planet.
I sit on my Galaxy most of the day for over a year. No bend yet.

Bendgate was blown out of proportion .. I can sure break any phone if I actually try bending the damn phone with all my might.. And it was only 9 people that experienced bendgate out of what .. ?
Tons of articles about this. People will complain about anything these days.
70lbs for iphone and 150lbs for note 3. Samsung still most impressive product.
Its plastic of course it can withstand more pressure. You want the premium look and feel of a metal phone you have to give up something. _________________ Don't let perfect be the enemy of good

Went to the mall yesterday and saw a Note 4 on display. Tried out the iPhone 6 plus as well.
It's tough. The Note 4 has a bigger and better quality screen, but I liked the iPhone 6 more. Just seems like a more seamless experience and it would pair well with my Mac. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Samsung usually has better specs but user experience-wise, I prefer the iPhone. Plus, crappy resale value on Samsung phones isn't too appealing. Just my opinion. _________________ "It's just fo' decoration! That's it and that's all, man; we do it fo' decorations." -Lil Sis
Checked out the Note 4 on Saturday at Best Buy, and had played around with the iPhone 6 plus a few days before. The verdict is that I like the 6 plus far more than the Note 4 - It just feels much faster, more fluid, smoother, etc. The most noticeable thing is how fast it was moving between apps, web browsers, etc. It also felt great in the hand. Felt/feels like an iPod Touch - light, easy/pleasant to hold, etc.
I need to play around with the Note 4 a little bit more, though...The heart rate monitor is pretty bad ass, as is the pen thing they have. I also need to check out the G3.
I got my Note 4 and I am loving it thus far. The bigger screen is an amazing upgrade from my iPhone 5, and I absolutely love the widgets you can set on your homepages, which is something that, if it was possible on the iPhone, I was not aware of how to do it. The phone is amazingly fast thus far, but I'll definitely be paying attention to see if I experience any slowdown that I've heard people complaining happens with other android phones. I really liked the iPhone 6 plus, but the Note 4 just felt so much more secure in my hands. The rounded edges on the 6 plus just felt too prone to slipping out of my hands.

Why do I think the iPhone 7 is just going to be putting cell capability into an iPad mini? or maybe a full size iPad, at the rates screen size is going. _________________ “We must always take sides.

The widgets are a good thing on my note 3 but unfortunately i never used them because widgets eat up battery.

What do you guys think about the Nexus 6? 6 inch screen and the same specs as the Note 4 (slightly worse camera).
The only thing is that the battery is non-removable.
I just don't like the fact that the nexus now cost the same as any phone on the market now. Wish it was half the price like before.
And no microSD.
I don't mind the lack of MicroSD because you can just store things in a cloud. Supposedly a lost of SD cards are unreliable anyway.
What's almost a dealbreaker is the lack of a removable battery. With the Note 4, you could have basically infinite battery life as long as you carried spares. I do prefer the 6 inch screen size, though.
I'm inclined to stick with the Note 4 since Samsung was the one who really pioneered the phablet and thus probably has the best features. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
when my Iphone 5 screen broke last year I decided to get a Samsung Galaxy to see what all the fuss was all about. Lets put it this way, after 3 days I was back to using my broken Iphone. I decided to return the Galaxy and fix the screen of my Iphone. I didn't find the whole Android experience to my liking, what I really liked was the size of the phone compared to my smaller Iphone. So now I purchased the 6plus and I'm totally in love with it! One note of caution... it's very fragile and the aluminum part of it scratches easily. FYI
Checked out the 6 plus several more times lately. Both times, still very impressed. As good as the other phones are, none of them feels as smooth and user friendly as iOS (just talking about navigating through the phone, different apps, etc). I don't get lag/waiting time for anything - Apps, email, browsers, videos, etc.
Also, probably not relating to the specific phone, but I'm convinced Apple stores have a T3 line. When I play a 1080P YT video, I don't get any loading time.
