I saw the Xperia Z near the top and stopped reading.

I had the Xperia Z. Both the iPhone 6+ and the Note 5 have fewer dropped calls in areas with spotty coverage that I work in. The Galaxy S6 was also not all that great for me.

The Xperia Z was the worst phone for reception since and old Lenovo I had and the only worse reception than the Lenovo was a Chinese S5 clone I tried, which was not really usable for anything. But it was cheap :-)

                  Hehe, my old trusty S5 tops this chart :)
                  It does have better reception than iP5, I accidentaly tested that with a friend in an area where cell coverage was pretty spotty. Where his and his gf's phone (both iP5s) were looking for a signal, mine was still hanging on to it. Shame plastic all you want but in the end it's not the looks that matter most in a phone.

                            which means the antenna which received most weak signal is BETTER ,this case s6 is better than 6s[as -97dBm is weaker than -93dBm and s6 able to pick -97dBm signals ]

Wake up there is more to iPhone in this world. Maybe a iPhone is placed near to a coffin k grave and later see how do it work or recorded some strange noises.
