    Galaxy S6

    Thinking of taking the plunge and buying this sucker outright, anyone purchased it yet? I've read the reviews and other than the shittier than S5 battery, this phone looks like it's all systems go.

        You like that operating system? That's cool if you do.

            Re: Galaxy S6

            Yes I'm over Android as far as rooting and flashing ROMs goes but I give credit to Android where it's due

            - You can send just about any file over WhatsApp - including media (you can't over iOS)

            - Ability to drag and drop just about any audio / video format to the device and even use the device as an external storage

            - You can play just about any audio file and video file with Samsung's respective native players

            - Widgets

            - Google's native apps with new improved features are released first on Android (Maps and GMail are the ones I use most, even free voice calling on WhatsApp is only out on Android right now)

            - Even if / when the day does come that I decide to root and flash a custom ROM, it's miles easier and more effective on Android than it is on iOS (every rooting on iOS has made the device unusable for me)

            - I will eventually get the iPhone as well so I'm on the fence preference-wise, each device / OS has its merits for me.

            Plus since I don't use the cloud for anything other than backup, being able to have immediate access to my digital life is irreplaceable to me. That's why getting 2 x 128 GB Devices and using one for photos and videos of my daughter and the other for my ever expanding music collection (and the reasons mentioned above) is going to be the inevitable future for me.

                I have no clue about that so far, I haven't got the S6 nor Android Auto in my car. Though between the two, I do prefer Apple's implementation of it.

                  I haven't check out the apple version yet, as my life is sunk into google products. Cant freaking wait til Jeep comes out with their version of android auto so I can put it in my new trailhawk. Google's navigation is worth it alone.

                    I don't think there is a better app in the world than Google Maps. It has seriously found so much stuff that most navigations just struggle to, and I have used Garmin's since 2007 and even Apple Maps and they just don't find even street addresses like Google Maps does. Add to it the awesome address suggestions and it's incredible what this app can do. Only gripe is auto-reroute during traffic needs a major overhaul imo.

                      Some Android users on XDA have been touting Nokia's HERE maps. I have it installed. Offline maps is nice to have,

                        This.

                        Sometimes I turn off my native GPS in the car for the phone. And Google comes up with a detour saying "I have found a 10 minute saving." And the ability to notice accidents on the trip ahead, fucking brilliant.

                            Re: Galaxy S6

                            Waze was originally formed to be a crowd-shared navigation app so users can share info from their devices (intentionally and unintentionally) about traffic patterns, road-blocks, police-traps, police sitting on the road, speed cameras etc. But as a navigation app itself, it sucked ass. Granted it's been a couple of years I messed with it, but it just didn't cut it for me.

                            Given that Google has now purchased Waze and is likely tapping into the crowd-sourced data from the backend, is why Google Maps of late appears to have become even better about traffic jams.
