Samsung is really trying to make investors mad it seems. Not they aren't livid already.
Well Samsung does make the best QHD displays but if the Galaxy S6 ends up having a 2600mAh non removable battery it will be disappointing.

I guess they want to show how good their amoled displays are. But even so, why not put a 3000 mAh battery and blow everyone away?

Well I was reading about Samsung's claims that their new SoC is 30-35% more efficient which I guess could make the battery about the same or slightly better if you factor in the ridiculous resolution and whatnot.
It's just a shame. A lot better is always better than slightly better, or worse, the saaaaame.

I refuse it.
I like the idea of smaller and then phablet. If you want big you get the Note 5. If you want small you get the S6. I wish they all just followed that model like apple did with the 6/6+.
Everybody wins. I dislike the idea of the smaller option being huge and the huge option being huger. With that said I don't think 5.2 is terrible just like I don't think 4.7 is too small. 5 is the sweet spot for me but I feel like the benefit of a smaller device outweighs the benefit of a .2 inches larger screen when we're already at 5!

Anyone here own any PNY products? Are they reliable? Amazon has a really great sale going on.

They want to compete with Apple on thinness.
This is the same Samsung which makes their sole criteria of how good their TVs are thinness.

I don't think anyone who is a regular in this thread has mentioned plans to get an S6. All the samsunger's here are Note-ers.
There's been some interest in the One M9. Some in the LG G4. Some in Moto x 2015. Some even in the Z4 from sony. Not sure I read anyone here planning on the S6. Is there anyone? Speak quickly.

they better hope people plan to this year lol. They seem to be going all in this year.
What you going to do about it fams?
I'm thinking about getting the Galaxy S6 and possibly considering the One M9.
The other ones like the G4 and the Z4 don't interest me and they won't be released until a long time.
-Pyromaniac-

yeah I think the release schedule looks like
S6/M9 -> G4 -> OnePlus2 -> Z4 -> Moto X 2015 -> Nexus 2015

I'm somewhat in a state of perpetual brokeness so I'll probably just be skipping everything this year unless my finances change. The M9 looks real nice though; wish the display on it was bigger (like 5.5").
Hopefully my S4 can make it through another year. Getting a lollipop update would definitely help with that.

You guys can't even let us have one flagship that's 5"? Every single other phone is 5.5". Just let us have this one lol.

God please don't be bigger than 5 inches M9.
I will be getting an M9 or S6. Both manufacturers have done stuff to piss me off in the past, so there is no bias from me at the moment
kind of a lie; I hope HTC wins my heart
It won't be a decision made without much research, though! I may even...go into a store to try them.
And then later in the year I'll probably get this. As long as there is one available that's not 6 fucking inches.

I still say 2014 nexus was an anomaly. Like (credible) rumours mentioned. the nexus 6 was originally a phablet known as the Moto S that they re-branded into a nexus phone after the last minute revival of the program.
This years should be much more interesting.
Nexus 5 2015. Believe. That or the M9. I only need one of the two to be good/real.

I'm guess it's just me and Faceless Master who are going to be all in on the Note 5.
Don't forget the 6S.
Don't listen to this heavenly host
If I don't get the M9 I'll probably just wait for the Note 5 lol.

Not as deep as he thinks
Nope. And me.

dat 4K display will be great! can't wait to see people saying "QHD is enough, when will this stop!?"

I feel like a 4K phone display would go well with my 4K TV.
I skipped Note 3 and 4. I guess I'll be beta testing 64-bit Note 5 in the future then.

Can I join the party?
The dozens and dozens of people who get an S6 will be beta testing 64 bit Touchwiz for you. Godspeed.
I'd say a 6-inch flagship is pretty interesting
And if the Nexus 6 is an anomaly, shit they should pull an anomaly every year with how well it turned out (the phone itself, not the sales or marketing campaign :/).
In any case, skip year, I'm waiting for the Nexus 2016 with Snapdragon 900 and pure Android Nougat.

Anyone else here in the market for an Asus zenfone 2? Wish they'd release some more information regarding models and pricing in Europe
S4 already is receiving lollipop. Not a huge difference but is a step forward (minus silent mode)
Might be more info coming out of MWC next month. Personally, I'm still not sold on Intel based phones, but it's in that weird space of needing a popular device for more native apps and probably needing more native apps to get a popular device.

Anyone here that could help me with an annoying issue with my Nexus 5.
I recently uploaded a huge file (around 800M) into my Drive, and now I get the notification for the upload over and over again. I swipe it off, or open it and check the file and it goes away. But after 15 minutes or so, maybe less, it comes back.
It's not really a big deal, but it's kinda annoying. Reboot did not help. Any ideas?
Also sorry if wrong thread for stuff like this.
