    True I dont like apple's approach of removing the headphone jack...and using Bluetooth headphones...that is basically killing your battery even further...And increasing the charging time when you are charging your phone
    LOL

    Still using the galaxy s5

    Removable battery
    Good battery life with normal use
    Expansion card
    Waterproof and etc
    Easy to use, if you REALLY think its that hard, they have easy mode.
    Mobile sharing so i can run internet to my pc
    Combined with a case and glass screen protector, it lasts forever.
    Etc like fingerprint reader, heart rate, all that jazz.

    Dont like s6 or s7 cause battery non removable...
    Well, maybe. Case might screw off with small tools. But prepaid verizon so not worth it yet.

    why do you need removable battery?
    with the new phones they charge so fast it doesn't matter IMO.

    batteries go bad over time, nice being able to change the battery instead of replacing the phone.


    like laptop batteries, they end up screwing up, losing charge, etc. (alienware is annoying that its built in)

    I can replace the battery, it's just harder than if you had one that was meant to be removed by the consumer.

    I love samsung phone and I love iPhones.
    Now personally I think that the Samsung phone pack so much tech into their phones but it's all before it time, so it isn't polished, or it's just too much for a phone.
    But it's hard to fault expandable storage and ease of adding apps, and customisation.

    On the other hand iPhones are polished, well built and simple to use. The features may be behind but I think that time taken to slowly bring them out will optimise them.
    It is the fact that iPhones are simple is what I prefer in my phones. I don't need bells and whistles for what I need my phone for. I would love expandable storage because size options are so limited but I want simple for my phones.

    Each phone has their pros and cons and it is not a matter of "iPhones suck" "Samsung sucks". It is a personal choice what you want in your phone, budget etc.
    I just think technology like this is great

    Android is for people who know enough about phones to root, mount and edit files. Also for developers and people who enjoy a very detailed level of customization. I phones are for people who like a seamless package, stylish design and don't have to worry so much about customization and configuration. Iphones are user friendly, androids are tech friendly.

    It's not that Iphones are behind the times it'd that the apple app store costs money to list apps so the only apps posted are ones that can generate income and these are usually already tested, tried and true. Android play store is free and so it promotes new and experimental apps. IPhone is just more exclusive, more polished and they always make sure everything is seamless when creating products. You get what you pay for, which is the research and development hours apple sinks into these Iphones so they are more to be used as an "as is" package whereas androids are more of a "customize everything" phone. Also apples Antivirus is unparalleled by anything else on the web.

    I am going to re-post what I posted from another forum:

    Here is some comparisons of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and iPhone 6S (via Phone Arena)

    Benefits of iPhone 6s:
    + iOS 9 (Simpler, more likely to have updates, jailbreak-able)
    + Lighter weight
    + Higher rating (9.3 vs 9.for Phone Arena, 9.5 vs 9.3 for Users)
    + Full aluminum construction (stronger than glass)
    + 1080p @ 120 FPS vs 1080p @ 60 FPS
    + Up to 128 GB of storage
    + Reversible connector

    Benefits of Samsung Galaxy S7:
    + Android 6.0.1 (free app publication, easy to modify, rootable)
    + IP 68 (dust resistance, water resistance)
    + Higher screen size, resolution, and pixel density
    + OLED display (and always on display)
    + Octacore CPU at a higher clockspeed
    + Double the RAM
    + MicroSD card support up to 256 GB supported (2 TB is possible with SDXC)
    + Higher battery capacity and rated/actual lifetime
    + Lower MSRP
    + Dual SIM option (Only in some countries)
    + GearVR support
    + Wireless charging and Qualcomm Quickcharge
    + Universal charger (MicroUSB 2.0)
    + Glass construction (Fairly strong, higher friction than all Aluminum)



    I somewhat recently switched to the Samsung Galaxy S7 (from the LG G3), and I would definitely recommend it. If you love music/videos/movies that aren't in the cloud, the micro-SD expansion is a very appealing feature... and you can swim with it if you are daring (or 20 feet deep into salt water if you want to recreate the results that were achieved on LinusTechTips).
