The worst part is the only phone that even slightly appeals to me is the Z5 and I really don't want a Sony.- Share

- Samsung is not known for being the best at updating anything. Even though most OEMs are pathetic when it comes to updating Android, something that seriously needs to be fixed, Samsung is probably the biggest name and the biggest problem. You can sort of forgive small OEMs but a company with the resources Samsung has it's pretty pathetic. It's one of the reasons why I'll never buy a Samsung device after the tablet we bought, which received surprisingly two updates.

- At this moment in time I haven't got a clue what phone to get. I'd like to wait for Nokia but it kind of depends if my phone will make it. It seems to be having issues lately due to the replacement display (though it could be the tempered glass) and the possible multiple drops (no breaks just drops).
The worst part is the only phone that even slightly appeals to me is the Z5 and I really don't want a Sony.
The truth is, there's nothing really appealing for me. If I had better bands, I'd keep the Mi 5 100%. Hardware has plateaued in such a way that taking a chance on brands like Sony makes no sense anymore. While Sony can claim that they've given the full 2 years support wise, updates have been slow and with the advent of security patches, forget it.
What I want is simple...but no OEM has really been able to provide it yet...

- Having used the Samsung Tab S2 for the last few months here are my thoughts. Screen is excellent. Battery life is superb, can go toe to toe with the iPad Mini 4 ( can't say that about my DV8P though). It's on Marshmallow currently and I see no difference in performance from the prior Lollipop version. My only worry is that it may never get updated to Nougat. And Chromecast doesn't work perfectly in terms of displaying the video full screen on my TV. Other than that, absolutely no issues. I'm surprised how well TouchWiz works - the only device where I don't have a launcher of any sort.

- My choices are the Honor 8 or the G5. As much as I'm enjoying the MIUI experience, I need the better LTE performance and still-wise, the Honor 8 is better than the Mi 5. I'll also take a look at the 1080P Nexus too.

- With my new work role, travel is going to pick up and so reluctantly I'm going to get the iPhone 7 xxGB version via work. With a lot of travel I want work stuff to be in sync. I'll have to decide which device to use on the personal line after that.

Other than that no updates complaint I really don't have any other. In 2 years I haven't done a single factory reset. It's decent but now I have phone that's better then tablet. Ok battery got worse over time but you would expect that :D
