Everything non Samsung is screwed do to the 810 issues so don't hold your breath.

No hairline scratches on my regular S6. You pay the the premium for the scratches!

htc seems to have solved the issue for the m9. inb4 lower benchmarks which don't make a noticable difference in real world use.
Guess we'll see.
They're just saving you the hassle of getting the scratches on your own from using the device, it's a feature! Just like the greenish cast and additional glare on the curves.
With the throttling on the 810, doesn't it make it kinda a lame jump over the 801 in the M8. What's the point of the M9 really? The camera is bad, the battery life is worse, the screen is worse.

well im not saying the m9 isn't a bad phone I'm just saying the 810 isn't really an issue.
G4/G4 Note
Moto X 2015
Nexus phone 2015
OnePlus 2
I think those are the big ones left.

You forgot the Note 5 and the Xperia Zzzzzzzzzzz4
It is an issue if you have to throttle it to keep the phone from overheating or becoming uncomfortably hot or burning through the battery. The advantages of the 810 seem to disappear due to the throttling, making the new SOC kinda useless outside of the move to 64-bit.

Ah yes, easy to forget sony but yeah the note 5. Forgot about that.
810 has better graphics, there's that
one of these has to deliver right? although being on verizon I don't feel so good about my odds.
m9 is probably my current fall back, but I'm not to sure I like the m9's form factor. Would never use the boom speakers.

If you're on Verizon you should have already picked up a Droid Turbo. No excuse.
No expandable memory
everything else about it looks great
edit: though maybe the 64GB version would be enough for me... hmm I'll think on it. But I might still wait for the G4.

TIL: Taking a long shower and having wrinkly fingers will not work on the fingerprint sensor.

It has been pretty spiffy so far. I havent had TOO much time to play with it though

Been living with this with the i6. Any amount of moisture on the fingertip will screw up the unlock.

yeah it's the only bad thing. Happens to me too.

Just updating n5 to 5.1. Booting time is so much faster. So far I have nothing to complain.

BTW I know this is already known, but the read speed on the S6 is insanely fast. Fuck microSD cards.
Well there are actually a lot of people in that thread saying that they have no scratches whatsoever. Someone even went to a Best Buy and compared the store models to his own(which has scratches) and found that neither of the three store models had scratches.
Sucks that yours has scratches, I would definitely replace it.
Would still take the Edge over regular any day of the week though, scratches or not.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
Agreed. Scratches are awful but if it's between that or using an old fashioned phone, my decision is obvious.

Hello Moto
The stuff about colour reproduction has me excited but knowing LG it'll probably still be oversaturated to all hell and back
It's pointless with Bluestacks being available, which has access to the Play Store.

If you do persist with it, you just have to find .apks wherever on the internet.

Is everyone in this thread a fucking character?
Xfone is da best! Omg, Nexus 6 so AWESOME! Every phone needs EDGES! criticism is not allowed and you're wrong *insert more irrational asshole responses*!
It's really annoying and makes it feel like proper discussions are impossible in here. It stopped being funny a long, long time ago and adds absolutely nothing to the community.

never had a phone like this where it gets so smudgy so fast. Any advice on how to clean it and make it look less smudgy without adding extra padding?
'Sup guys, my family gave me a Samsung Core 2 (not that better than my iPhone 4 tbh, but at least it's new).
I'd like some few tips on reccomended apps (mind that i barely use anything more than web, facebook, skype and whatsapp), best way to move contacts/music/other datas from iOS to Android, and whatever might be useful.

Reasonably priced sub 10" Android Tablet with good battery life. What's out there that fits the bill? In an ideal world the Z3 8" would be £199 but sadly, it's not.
Off to Florida in 2mths, I need something that will last the plane journey, my LG 8.3 just isnt up for the job.

9 to 5 Google posted an article on a bend test on the S6.
http://9to5google.com/2015/04/03/galaxy-s6-edge-bend-test/
"Looks like they copied the iPhone 6 right down to bend gate" was their quote on Twitter.

Ugh. Bendgate was about it bending in the pocket. The edge will obviously not hold up to the above test - you can't really have glass as structure.
Where's the test of the regular s6?

The point being that it took 110 pounds of pressure for the iPhone to bend in a bend test, the same number as the S6 edge. So in theory they could be looking at an issue of pocket bends since it takes the same amount of pressure as a 6 Plus to produce a bend.

Bending isn't the entire issue. It is about the end result and how the product recovers
No, there was a heat component as well (the body heat contributed). Obviously, now it is a wait and see moment. I'll be a bit surprised if we start to see this happen in the field.
But putting these phone in a machine with the ends being held at an inconsistent lengths does not necessarily equate to having the same breaking force-moment. Source: I do this for a living with ships.
this is why it's not worth trying anymore. being a dick is analogous to being "hip" in this thread so i'm not confident we'll be having any proper discussions in the near future.
