Of course my friend, there's no point battling with denial.. it's a pointless task..
IPS LCD wins because it is my preference, no denying that considering what smartphones I have owned and kept the most.

Didn't think so, the screen type is a byproduct of your buying decision. . It's just.a bonus.if you choose a galaxy s6 as the screen blows everything else out of the water. FACT!!!!
There is no logic behind that, are you saying you only buy an iPhone because of a Lcd screen, so when they move to amoled which they will , are you going to change your handset to lg Or Sony etc..

I have an Edge + and have had many other Samsungs (mostly The Note series). I have bought many smartphones and the majority I have KEPT have IPS LCD. I have a drawer full of them.
Where did I say I only buy IPhones because of LCD screen? That type of display is my PREFERENCE.
Not only that, but his logic is flawed. He presumes technology is static and that only the Apple logo effects your preception. When they finally switch to amoled, it won't be the same amoled in use today, it will be whatever it has matured to.
Likewise it could be entirely calibrated differently. Like the SRGB mode on the 6P and Basic mode on the Samsung range which contrary to his assertions are actually more 'accurate' than the default - albeit less vibrant and oversaturated. Although many like the oversaturated look of amoled screens.
There is also an assertion I've seen on the fora that ANY Amoled beats an LCD which is likewise nonsense. There are many poorer amoled screens where oversaturation is the least of the problem, but yellow tinting, extremely poor outdoor visibility and colour accuracy / gamma are all banjaxed. The Nexus 6, Moto X 2014 etc...
So yes there is plenty of room for personal preference and likewise contrary to opinion 'display-mate' results are not infallible either. They are not the arbitrary appointed governors.
The Samsung S6/Edge have great screens undoubtably. But the likes of the iPhone 6S Plus and Moto X Style/Pure and Nexus 6P etc.. are not far behind either. Indeed one little star turned out to be the OnePlus X which actually has an excellent amoled screen which is up there with the best of 2015 and even has a better white point than the more expensive Samsung devices, a marvel at a $250 phone...
So all this 'smack' talk is just silly. We should all just be grateful that 2015 was actually a very good year for smartphones generally and the quality of the display in flagships and even some of the affordable lower mid rangers (OnePlus X) has really improved overall regardless of display tech.
Yeah have to agree, for phones it's been a pretty good year.
Apple managed to make the 6S more solid and not bend by not making it much thicker or heavier, gave it one hell of a performance boost yet kept the battery the same and improved on the camera.
Samsung brought it to Apple with the S6 and Note 5, also very powerful and a total new design language, and improved cameras.
LG brought an almost pro-sumer camera to phones and kept the expandable storage and removable battery.
Sony brought us 4K to phones! And kept it true by updating it's little compact phone which is great.
Snap Dragon managed to make phones melt.... I jest
And lots of other improvements, I am waiting for some clever optical zoom system for cameras to come out, I see a lot of different ideas are being worked on so hopefully soon we'll see it.
