    Haha actually the none of them option is ahead.

    It will be an interesting battle ahead. The g5 will have the smaller battery and the bigger screen but the battery will be removable. Looking forward to seeing how these services perform with the snapdragon 820.

    Yes but what are the alternatives? These will probably be the best 2 Android phone this half of the year.

    The new nexus might be better in the second half, but that's a long way off.

    Moto might be worthy a consideration, and don't discount the likes of Hauwai.

    Still the S7 and G5 are the main talking points, they're my main interests anyhow.

    Yours?

    None of them!

    I got the huawei gx8 as a stpgap measure until the note 6. Am very happy with it so no need to switch to either now.

    But good to see Samsung dealing with the battery and SD card issue after the problems the s6 had.

    I can understand that train of thought!
    Have a Note 2 here myself and still sing it's praises after 3.5 years.

    Why are you keeping another thread going when there is a main thread for the s7 and edge you can take part in??

    The S6 was lovely too. Nobody could really complain if it was basically an S6 with a proper battery.

    Definitely not at all. I wasn't been snotty ha i said it on that other s7 thread its not a bad complaint that it looks alot like the s6 its one of the nicest looking phones ever made and apple keep their phone design for two years minimum too so it's nothing out of ordinary.

    Yep definitely, if it works then it works. I've never held a nicer phone in my hand than the S6 Edge.

    I've never tried the edge I've just got the flat I have it wrapped up in a case so I don't get the feel of it that often ha. They are nice tho.

    The edge variants don't feel nice in hand at all. Having a flat back with reasonably sharp edges isn't ergonomic at all. I'm glad they've addressed it.

    I know someone who has the galaxy s6 edge plus and one of his complaints was that when you had to type using letters on the edge it was uncomfortable he just preferred the flat phones like the s6

    Posted this earlier but I think with the thread merge it was lost.

    Has anyone purchased from Samsung uk store before and had it delivered by parcel motel?

    The Irish Samsung site doesn't seem to have a store and if the leaks for the s7 price are as expected at 699, it may work out cheaper buying from the uk.

    Thanks

    Buying direct from Samsung is rarely cheap. Why not just buy from Amazon?

    Don't forget to price it across the various Amazon European websites.

    You could try a website like http://www.curiua.com which will search them for you. However your milage may vary.
    You might be better off trying them individually yourself.

    Amazon.fr
    Amazon.de
    Amazon.it
    Amazon.es
    Amazon.co.uk

    • Am I going to be able to get the free VR headset on contract
    • Am I going to be able to get the free VR headset in Ireland
    • How much is this actually gonna cost in euro
