I sit on my Galaxy most of the day for over a year. No bend yet.


Its plastic

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 .. ?

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.

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.

Looking at all the comparisons on youtube, Note 4 has the Iphone 6 beat pretty good.

Only reason I see people leaning toward Iphone 6 is because they are accustomed to it.

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.

I might just opt for the S6. I've waited this long, might as well hold on to my iPhone 5 a little longer.

Edit - nvm. I'm going with the Note 4. Easier to hold and thus fewer fears of dropping it.

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.

Note 4 feels so crisp in your hands. Looks professional. Its a high class phone. Everything is immediate to the touch.

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.

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.

Also, took a look at the M8 and G3 - very impressed with the both of them. So many good choices out there.

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.

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

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.

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.
