Would you change your S6/S6 E to S6 Active?

Samsung recently launched the S6 Active which almost comes with the same specifications with the standard S6. But it goes the more bigger battery capacity of 13.48Wh(3500mAh). But S6 9.81Wh / S6 Edge 10.01Wh.

Weird to ask that on a Verizon forum... Verizon isn't releasing the active - AT&T is.
But to answer your question - no.

I probably would.

i have never been mesmerized by a screen as i upgrade often and find them to all be great as i upgrade and losing the Edge screen would be tough now BUT that would tempt me

I don't really care for the physical buttons on the Active.
Bigger battery and waterproofing would be nice though.
If it would have had SD card it would have been VERY tempting.

GearVR Support on Note5?

I'm not necessarily happy with the feature set of the Note5 vs the Note4, but hypothetically, if a Note4 owner with a GearVR decided to move to a Note5; would the Note5 Work with the GearVR?

The Note 5 does not have the Oculus software in the stock rom, so moot for now even if it fits. At least that is what users are reporting.

S8

Just reading some online rumors about the development of the New Galaxy S8 and the newest rumor out today says it will have a variant (called the Galaxy s8 plus) with a 6 inch screen and it is going to replace the Note line of phablets. Is this true or do you think the Note line can survive the problems of the N7. I love my N5 and want to stay in the Note series when I do need to upgrade

I really don't care. If the s8 plus has an spen and all the features of the note line then I'll get the s8 plus

Gear VR - S7 or Edge7?

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting myself a gear vr with either a Galaxy S7, or a Edge7. I already had the chance to play around with a Gear VR and an Edge7, but I was wondering if the S7 would give a different experience due to the smaller screen? These phones have the same resolution, so the S7 has more pixels per inch, meaning a sharper image, but since the screensize is smaller, would that affect the field of view? Would I get a "smaller" screen? Or would that be a simple matter of adjusting the focus on the gear itself?
Maybe that someone has experience with both devices and can tell me the difference?
Thanks!

Hi,
I've played around with the S7 Edge and the S6. Both looked pretty similar on the Gear VR, since it zoom in the screen I do not think it'd be much of a difference - at least it wasn't very noticeable for me. However it has been some long time since I last used it, so maybe I may be confusing things.
All in all, there is not much difference between the two I think. If you have the budget go for the S7 Edge - larger battery - else the S7 will be just as great.
All the best,

Thanks for the info!
Having a larger battery is indeed something to think about...

Both of them will work perfectly but I would go with the SGS7 Edge as it has a larger battery.

Very important news about this phone!

Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!
I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.
S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.
I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…
only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)
I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one
If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)
This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.
I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did
