    Mahal din nang brand nato. Parang buong screen siya? Hindi ata pwede to sa s7 and note series ng samsung aangat din lalot gagamit ng case.

    Ito nga pala set up ko.


    Mas ***y s7 without a case pero hindi naman ako ganun kayaman para hindi magcase hehehe.

    Look at my TG sobrang sagwa. Nakakasingit narin yung dumi sa gilid. Mukhang sayang 650 ko

    Nope, yung Metearmor for curved (even 2.5D) glass di kasama coverage, yung flat areas lang kaya kasi not as flexible as ordinary film protectors, but still 50% thinner than tempered glass. Matagal na din nagpapahanap sakin friend ko na may S7e, wala talaga ok kahit sa Youtube reviews.

    But that's from BGR. That's like posting an article about Duterte from Mocha Uson's blog. [emoji20]

    However, I do agree that iPhones are much snappier than their specs would seem. In day to day use, my Note 4 (which supposedly has superior specs compared to my iPhone) is actually much slower.

    If you were just gonna text, surf, and go on Facebook, an iPhone might be a more straightforward device to use. However, I gave up on Apple when I realized they'll be using the same design 3 years in a row (iPhone 6, 6S, 7).

    The iPhone 7 might take the best camera crown (beating the Samsung S7/Note7) and iOS 10 looks promising, but other features like SNote, dual-sim support, and a larger edge screen with a much thinner profile are enough reasons to make me jump ship. The new TouchWiz combined with Marshmallow seems much more refined as well compared to previous Android UIs.

    Samsung really needs to improve their RAM/memory management, even the Note 5 with 4GB RAM struggles on multitasking compared to flagship phones with 3GB RAM (check YT comparisons). Buti ngayon mas light na daw ang UI nila.

    Still hands down to Apple, malaki talaga difference pag ang OS tailored fit sa hardware. Wonder why Samsung can't do the same, may Exynos naman sila.

    And Nougat am sure will be coming very soon to this flagship device.

    Not as soon as we'd like though...dual-sim phones are usually the last to get updated when a new OS comes along. [emoji24]

    You can always root and install Cyanogen ROM.

    I like a phone that runs perfectly on stock settings. I've rooted my previous Androids before but I've outgrown the tedious process.

    I want a phone that has everything I need without custom roms or other fancy mods. If I was able to go 4 years with un-jailbroken iPhones, I expect to be able to do the same when I switch to Samsung.

    Really depends on each user, but you can always check GSMArena's or PhoneArena's standard battery life test. The Exynos variant lasts an hour longer than the Snapdragon on the average.

    A lot better compared to the old note 4. I charged the previous night and I recharged the following night do about 24 hours. I am only using 1 sim with a 32G memory card on the 2nd tray.

    My S5 has been randomly restarting recently. This was in Samsung Service 3 times in 2014 and finally replaced with a new unit last year. Still isn't the most reliable phone. Finally out of warranty, Samsung says it might be a hardware issue. The Samsung experience has been a big shiny balloon going pfffffffffft for me.

    I will probably need another phone before year end. Still want something with Android, a Moto X preferably, but they don't have a local service center. Can anyone recommend a close to pure Android UI phone that'll be reliable? I prefer not to get any of the Chinese brands.

    Xperia UI is close to stock Android, you can get a Z5 for a little over 20K, local or grey market unit. Meron din Nexus 6P if you want stock Android, though medyo overpriced, plus the build quality isn't that good.

    Get a OnePlus 3 and root it with Cyanogenmod.

    Sony Xperia series is also a good choice, fast OS, not much bloatware. Samsung is very notorious for having too much bloatware.

    It easier to root smartphones now compared to years ago.

    Thanks guys. How are the Sony phones durability-wise? The past ones I looked at were too blocky and a bit hard to hold for me but if they're built to last I'll probably consider them. My now antique Blackberry Bold will probably outlive this Samsung.

    Was the Nexus 5 Kitkat or older when it came out? Not really complaining about Touchwiz UI functionality and general usability, I just have this nagging feeling it has something to do with all the bugs. Plus, it's 2016 and still no Marshmallow update locally for the S5. Updates are soooo slow to arrive.

    I had a raw Android before (Nexus 5), and it was awful for me. Layo sa iOS. I prefer TouchWiz, bloatware and all. I felt that the Nexus was just like my low end Cherry Mobile Flare before.

    So I returned my Note 7 yesterday after it lost cellular connectivity. Not supposed to discourage you guys from ordering one since Samsung is one of our big customers but I am so pissed off with the fact that a new product costing almost P40K is defective. There were 4 of us already having different issues.
