Help me pick my next phone please

[SportsJunky]

I lost my phone and Corporate has given me a list of phones that I can pick from. I don't use it for much other than talking, email, texting and occasional surfing. I don't stream. I do take some pictures and will finally be able to have a decent camera.

I have it narrowed down to iPhone 6 or Galaxy Note4.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

I just found this thread.

I'll do some reading there.

I had the note series and they're nice phones at all but that touchwiz... Yuck. Get a nexus 6p if you can, amazing phone

Android vs. iOS aside, you are looking at two different sizes of phones. So I'd ask yourself, if you are considering an iPhone 6, why not a Galaxy S6? If the answer is that you prefer iOS over Android, that brings the question of "is the bigger size worth it."

I am assuming the iPhone 6+ didn't enter due to the cost.

I'd also see if you can borrow the Note4 for a little while. I personally have an iPhone 6, and didn't get the 6+ because I like to be able to keep the phone on a belt holster. We have other people I work with who often don't have their 6+ or Note5 with them because they find it too big to carry around with them.

This...I went from an S5 to a 6P. Between TouchWiz and stock Android, its literally night and day.

Also went from an S5 to a 6P. Nexus FTW

I have nothing to compare it to but I jumped on the 6p bandwagon and love the phone. I was sceptical on such a large phone initially but I love the extra screen size.

Got the LG G4 and love it. Need the option for a bigger battery and additional storage. Camera is second to none

I agree with this sentiment. I have the LG G3 - which is a minimal downgrade from the G4 (I've tried both) - and I'll be getting the G5 when my contract is up, for sure.

Fantastic series of phones.

Really, there are 3 great choices out there for you:

iPhone 6S
Samsung Galaxy S6
LG G4

Don't get a Note. They are very no.

If you run the Google Now Launcher on any Android phone its basically the same as a nexus. I run it on my G4 and live it

I had to switch from my Iphone 5S when the battery wasn't holding a charge any more, outside of that I had no problems with Apple products. I did go with the LGG4 and dang, I have no complaints. Love the battery is replaceable. The camera is amazing, I can't wait until the summer to fiddle around with the settings and head out to the river and snag some shots.

Took a while to get used to the larger screen size though haha.

Any other phones of note on that list from IT? I can't really speak on this as I am still running a Blackberry at work. Our only other choice is an iPhone 5 and there's no way I could ever go to that. Screen size is way too small, I don't like the messaging functions on an iPhone (the BB Messaging hub really kicks ass) and I've had more than one person who uses an iPhone for business tell me how much they hate it. It's a great personal phone but really sucks for some business applications, at least in their opinions. Really hoping our IT and Office Support groups expand a little and at least support some Android phones or I'm afraid I'll never update!
