The adaptive color correction thing is only in a few certain Samsung applications, which makes it essentially almost useless.

So much for the massive battery for nothing, it doesnt even get as good battery life as the M8 or the Plus, what a fail, the device at its thickest point is over 10 mm thick, they put a massive 3900 mAh battery and it is still not enough ....smh...and this is what exactly Android OEM's and manufacturers do to so called Android fanboys who know all about specs and hardware(actually most of them don't have a clue at all though)

What are you talking about?? Or rather why have you quoted me when I had nothing to say about the battery or color correction?

----------

I don't think you're a douche at all - I just think you're misinformed and I can't stand FUD being spewed around here. There's enough nonsense posted here without this crap.

I am so out of the loop what does FUD stand for?

Too thick, no touch id, no 128GB, etc. and I'd be surprised if it lives up to the battery life claim in real use -- so much power needed to drive those extra pixels you can't see, etc. on a less efficient OS. The starting price is same as iPhone. My iPhone 6 normally goes 48 hours between charges.

How exactly is it buggy? Give examples though and not just some speculation.

The last android device I owned was the Xperia play. On that device apps would constantly open themselves and it was impossible to keep them closed, which ate up the battery life and bogged down the phone. I tried all the task killers, and nothing worked.

After that frustrating 2 years I vowed to never own another Android device.

My girlfriend's phone is a Droid MAXX, and the phone constantly turns itself off, and randomly doesn't save pictures that she takes.

Don't get me started on how tough it is to develop apps for android with how many different display sizes there are, and how many underpowered budget android devices their are.

Maybe it's less an Android problem, and more of a problem of way too many android devices that aren't tested enough, but I'm not touching another Android device.

lol you're talking about a 3 year old phone that came out with Gingerbread. It's more about you than it's about Android.

Your post is like saying "iOS is waaay too buggy for me" then stating it was version 5.x

My girl's phone is modern, and still buggy... but I guess you overlooked that paragraph. ;)

Of the 4 apple devices that I own, they have all run flawlessly... hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.

No I just ignored it as it was probably made it up just like the rest of your previous post.

Of course your Apple devices have never had a bug....makes you look even less honest.

My iPad freezes quite often on 8.1, iOS is not more stable than Android 4.4. My android phone very rarely freezes or reboots.

User experience is what makes the iPhone better. The intangible benefit of Apple.

User experience is what you make of it. iOS is great, but it's not for everyone. Motorola is the only Android OEM that ships with nearly stock Android.

ditto. not sure why but my iPad Air is doing the same thing and it's on basically stock apps. I think it's memory related as we do lots of presentations with ours and it's usually in the middle that it takes hit.

It's one beastly phone but since it's Verizon exclusive...

Say goodbye to an international version.


If the phone sells well I think that Motorola/Lenovo will make a GSM/International model.

It won't be called a Droid or Turbo, but the inside will be the same.

Hmm, two straw man arguments in a row with a false accusation based on a straw man.

I own an iPhone and Android. Just go for what you want. There is nothing stopping anyone from enjoying what they want. Only thing that can stop you is yourself. If you're jealous, get one and experience it. Nothing said here will really matter at the end of the day. It's solely up to you!

If you checked google before making such bold claims, you would see that I speak the truth. There are tons of posts on android forums about the Droid MAXX shutting itself off for no reason.

I honestly can't think of anything that has gone wrong with any of my apple devices. Maybe I got lucky.

Edit: Oh that is one bug I have had, the getting stuck in landscape thing. Putting it to sleep then waking back up fixes it, and its uncommon. Minor compared to the things I have seen on Androids.

Apple devices are not bug free, I have some mildly irritating bugs in 8.1. Not major issues like resprings and reboots. My biggest complaint is the landscape and portrait issues being discussed in threads. Deal breaker no, annoying yes.

I wouldn't believe anything you posted as you have lost all credibility.

Of course and saying the Apple devices are flawless is nonsense, especially after iOS 8.x.

Well now there are multiple iOS sizes. Let the fragmentation begin, lol.

Why are you on these forums if you are an Apple hater?

Obvious teen with anger issues... have fun picking fights with everyone you talk to, that will get you far in life.

To join in the discussion and challenge nonsense posts such as yours. lol Apple hater...now that's funny.

I'd tell you all about all the Apple gear I own but you would probably accuse me of lying.
