Hello all,
In September I decided enough was enough and I left my 930 behind and got a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+. After a few weeks in I was angry that I hadn't made the jump sooner. There were regular app updates, better quality apps, more apps (not that you need most of them) and the phone itself is a piece of art.
I watched the 950/XL get released and thought "What a load of crap, looks like mid range phone, so glad I have my Edge+". Then after Christmas it hit me. I miss Windows. I thought and thought about it and soon my Edge+ was on eBay. I sold it locally and went to look for a 930 again. I remembered my short time with the 1520 and thought to hell with it, I'm getting a 1520. So I found one, unlocked, in white for ?130!! Went to collect it, looks great, works amazingly on W10M - and THAT battery life!!
So here I am, back on Windows with a beautiful 6" screen, amazing camera, wondering why I ever left. Let me tell you first hand, yes, the apps are better in the way of updates but this app gap is BS!!! There are loads more apps but trust me, you don't need them (or I didn't any way). I installed game after game and still found myself using the same games I used on Windows (Crossy Road & Hungry Shark FTW!!). The only downside is that games don't have the new content that they do on iOS and Android but you can't blame MS for that. It is annoying that my wife has more characters on Crossy Road than I do and I'm not sure that update will come as it's a Christmas update and releasing it in Jan/Feb would be odd.
I think Microsoft need to take a good look at phones like the Edge+ because I still stand by my statement that the phone is a piece of art! If they could release something like that, WOW, but for now, I'm happy with my 1520 (better than the 950XL imo) but if they could release an Edge+ with W10... TAKE MY MONEY!!
Android has come a long way since I last used it (ICS) and it does run really well but it's biggest problem (for me) is that it isn't Windows.
It's great to have a long holiday in a fancy looking place (Galaxy S6 Edge+ / Android) but nothing beats coming home (Windows).
PS. TubeCast absolutely "urinates" on the official YouTube app on Android from a GREAT height!
