Best new Android phone..?
    #23569330 - 08/23/16 02:22 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I have to get a new phone.

I currently have a Galaxy S3. I had an S5, but broke it several months ago and got this S3 back running to bridge the gap between then and now.

I do like the Galaxy series phones... I'm not sure what number they're up to now, however.  Seven?

Anyways, I'll be going either tonight or tomorrow.

Any suggestions as to what I should look in to getting and why...?

Thanks in advance.


I should add, I did really like the S5 I had and wouldn't mind getting another one, but if 6 or 7 is better for whatever reason, I'd like to know that.

Idk if iphones are under my carrier.

But from what I've seen of them, I personally wasn't very impressed... Although, that may be just because I've been using galaxies for years.

I know a samsung rep who has the S8.  I haven't seen it myself though.


I personally wouldnt get any androids not made by Samsung.

Galaxy S7, but I think a new model is coming out soon (S8?)
OnePlus3
Nexus Sailfish (released this month or next, not quite out yet)

Personally, I ***HATE*** the Samsung interface, bloatware, etc. and won't use one unless it's been rooted and the more standard Android OS ROM is installed.  But I understand the hardware is really good.  It's like a butterface version of a phone.

The galaxy s7 is widely considered the best of the current generation.

OK.. Has the 7 been out for a while? Gotten all the bugs out?
That's the main reason why I usually don't get the NEWEST phone.

iPhone 7 should be out soon, probably won't have anything ground breaking :mad2:


Yeah, the S7 has been out for a bit now, the S8 will be out soon that's why the reps have them.

yeah i was just being a dick mostly, I'm pretty indifferent to the brand loyalties. The latest is the S7 Edge and it's pretty cool.
Not enthusiastic about anything running a google product and the samsung bloatware is fuckin awful, but it's a nice handset and the display is great

iphone 6 if it's under your carrier is also a really sturdy handset contrary to what you might have heard around, screen is slightly less robust than the comparative generation of galaxies and the camera bulge is a bit annoying but the current iteration of ios is really pleasant to use and lacks the annoying samsung bloat

I did some light reading and the s7 and the s7 edge sound the best.

Not sure if they'll both be able to get or not, though.

What's the bloatware you're speaking of (and how does one get rid of it if they wanted to?)

One billion bullshit apps (seriously 5-6gb worth iirc) that ship with the phone. It's worse if you use verizon but since you mentioned yours might not have iphones i doubt you're with them.
As far as I know you should be able to uninstall most of the bloat apps that ship with the phone

About the bloatware, Nevermind.. I think I know what you're talking about..

I guess I just thought people actually used those programs, just not me :shrug:

I have a Droid Turbo 2, very reliable phone.

http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/03/phone-comparisons-motorola-droid-turbo-2-vs-samsung-galaxy-s7.html

The main reasons I think it's a good phone are that the battery lasts about 3 days on a single charge, and the screen is completely shatterproof. You could hit it with a hammer and drop it and it wont shatter the screen. So the phone should last a long time, and has had no trouble running any apps I've put on it at all. I'm not much of a mobile phone gamer, but it can handle any of the major games out there.

The S7 is a bit faster, but it's negligible really. Droid Turbo 2 comes with 64 GB of storage space hard slotted, and I got a free 64 GB SD card when I bought it bringing it up to 128 GB total. Built in wireless charging. 21 MP camera, 5 MP in front (takes pretty awesome pictures).

If the S7 is cheaper when you look at phones, go with that. But if the Droid Turbo 2 has some kind of special price and is cheaper then the S7, I'd give it a consideration as it's a solid phone and will never break on you (or they will replace it free). I don't even pay for insurance on mine because there is no point.

No money will be coming out of my pocket, so that's not really a consideration.

Although, my last 2 phones went because I broke the screens on them.
Perhaps that's something to consider then... Or else, a better case or something for the Galaxy.

Here is someone smashing it with a hammer. He destroys the phone, but the screen stays intact.

I'd definitely suggest you shell out the fifty bucks or so for an otterbox or equivalent case if you're going to get a brand new current gen handset
Especially given that a lot of carriers have fuckin terrible insurance plans that either have outrageous deductibles and/or a million fuckin exclusions that render the coverage inapplicable.
