S6-S6 edge
Right absolutely ******* sick of the iPhone 6.
Options on the s6 and s6 edge.....any better of just paying for the screen on the edge.
Never owned a android phone so all new to me , had iPhones throughout and should of stuck with the 5 .
Anything else as good? , all I've done is google latest Samsung and its come up with those two .
Don't want the usual keep the 6 , reset it etc......sick of it dropping reception and constantly flicking airplane mode on and off . I need a phone 24/7 so it's pissing me off now.

Any wild card that can be thrown in and I'll have a quick look on google

No but will , do you have one and how do you rate it
I only looked at the Samsung as I got my missis one today as she's bust the screen on her iPhone 5 (I've only bought her a £100 S4)
I've a iPhone 4 with a spider crack , a 5 that's got a completely shattered front screen , a 5c that my daughter dropped down the bog....and a 6 that decides to give me reception when it feels like it
Fecking apple......iPad will crash and freeze now

It's android so you'll be sick of it in 3 months. I tried with the Sony and loved it for two weeks then I realised how good apples stuff was....
If you HAVE to go android then Sony z3 batt is immense mine lasts 3 or 4 days.
As for your iPhone issues my six has been fine, sure it's something you got installed on all of them? Not sure why your flight modes coming on... Very weird...

I've just done loads of research, including reading many reviews, both professional and amateur.
I've ended up with an Xperia Z3 mini, (the mini bit is because I don't like phablet sized phones.)
So far, so good. Had one trying hour where I could NOT find the Sony Walkman app...only to research and find Sony changed it to a Music app

Apart from the looks of the phones I don't think there is anything in them hardware wise? Once you stick a case on them they all look the same. You can get the s6 for about £430 new so just buy that and sell yours or offer someone a deal.
Android phones are good as I have had a few as well as a few iphones and each have there pluses and minuses.
If I were you I would just sell your iphone off now while it will still command a good price and use a cheap phone you have lying around the house and wait and see what the next iphone will be like in a couple of months time.
I was tempted to buy the s6 but the lack of sd card put me off it so I just bought a note 4 but its huge say iphone 6 plus huge but its as good as the s6 just cheaper

I recently went to a samsung galaxy s6 from an iphone 5 as i fancied a change and the phone itself it fantastic, great variety of apps and gadgets on it. Only thing that lets it down is the battery life, it will last 24hours on average use but if your using it for games, sat nav, tv etc then you will need to charge it through out the day.

If you were going from an iPhone 5 to an up to date Android phone then fair play, the performance bump will be noticeable and you'll enjoy the new stuff for a while. But going from the latest iPhone to the latest Android will be disappointing, especially if you think it will make your network better. If you get the Samsung the disappointment will be instant, you won't get over the fact that it looks so similar before the device stops getting updates, if it ever gets another. Still, change is as good as a break and it's your money. EE, O2 and I'm sure others offer wifi calling for problem areas.

Never had any problems with the 5 it's only since buying a 6.
End of the day if it still happens I'll put the Samsung on eBay and chuck my toys out of my pram in the voda shop.
I have nothing against Apple products as they are what I'm used to , I just think I have a bad 6?

It's possible but not likely. It's not a bad time to own either so selling one or both won't be hard, it may well turn out that every phone but the 6 is better in your particular area, if you do try and it's the same or worse you could return the phone.

I've got the iPhone 6+ and I am loving it. It's a bit embarrassing the amount of time I spend using it but the screen and size makes it just too easy to browse and use. I used to be on vodafone years ago and I found it shockingly bad. Last year I was on Orange/EE on my iPhone 5 and the signal was OK (better than vodafone anyway) but since switching to EE 4G, my iPhone 6+ signal has been great. Previously in areas where I know that I would get no signal, I now am and also with the added bonus of either 3G 4G connection.

It's Vodafone for sure as there network coverage is shocking, I lucking only had a 12 month contract with them and couldn't wait till it was over. You can't use all of your allowance as you can never get a signal for phone or web.
Get your phone unlocked and try another network sim in it for a day and see what it's like as it will be cheaper than buying a new phone and having the same issue.

Considering Jack only ever has iPhones how would he know? Lol
All seriousness there is little to choose from between the latest gen phones performance wise, biggest difference is operating system.
I'm looking as well due to my contract running out in a few weeks and leaning to s6, given the price jump for s6 edge I don't think it's worth it.

I don't have S6 but I have had the latest and the latest iPhone at the same time, the Android is a terrible, settings for settings, apparently the next update makes it a bit more like iOS.
