    AnonD-308243, 15 May 2016had the s7 edge(exynos 8890) for a month now and I can tell... morePerhaps the low framerates when playing games compared to former non-QHD high-models.
    I doubt that e.g. Asphalt 8 runs smooth on that S7 (and definitely not on that S6). :-(

    Why don't Samsung for instance create both QHD and FHD-flagship devices. The latter will be cheaper and hence can be used as upper-midrange device while manufacturing and material costs can be shared. Instead of dumping A-, C-, J- series and eventually only support the S-series with updates anyway.

    To stay on topic. The Xiaomi Mi5 doesn't support all the European LTE-bands so its pretty useless here :-(

      If Samsung ONLY released the regular S7 I think HTC would give it a run for it's money - same with G5.
      The additional features, battery life and pure beauty of the S7 Edge set it apart from the competition & I think Samsung's sales figures alone will contest to this.
      An all rounder so powerful, well made AND aesthetically pleasing is bound to win every time as it ticks the majority of people's boxes.
      It's certainly not for everyone - but with the Edge design Samsung hit the sweet spot this year.

        It would be fun GSMA to include the iPhones in this poll. LOL
        Then HTC 10 wouldn't get even 2% of the votes.
        Right?

          Well for all I see
          S7 and S7Edge will beat every other phone here on this poll.
          Do not let to be confused by GSMA trick, as they put Samsung with two phones, so they helped HTC to be on second place, over S7!
          If on this poll was only S7 , it would beat HTC with big .
          If it was only S7Edge on this poll, it would beat HTC even harder.
          Am I right?

                    RC255, 16 May 2016First off; You've started telling people I post as anon an... moreFair enough. But just to remind you, that guy was posting as anon and he got caught, and his posts got deleted by gsmarena. That's what he was saying to you, he was talking about his own story and trying to defend how he responded to himself, he wasn't talking about you lol.

                    At this point its clear we are arguing over nothing, so let's just forget about it. You clearly seem at least somewhat biased against Samsung, as you mentioned the battery of s7 as bad, when it is better than the HTC and lg, and above average, but at the same time I'll have to admit I'm at least somewhat biased for Samsung. Lets just leave it at that :)

                        AnonD-442781, 15 May 2016For the last time, you mentioned battery life as a con for ... moreFirst off;
                        You've started telling people I post as anon and have several accounts. I do not, to either. Accept there are people out there who agree with me, as there are people out there who agree with you.
                        You respond so strongly and unnecessarily to the merest criticism of Samsung and I was warning another user that it will be a long, hard, pointless battle.
                        I have never criticised your English in anything other than response to your criticism of mine.

                        Now, back to phones.
                        I mentioned the S7 battery life because I was trying to come up with different points for each phone I mentioned.
                        Of course the G5 battery is not great, it - along with the S7 - has a 2k screen which - in my opinion - remains an unnecessary battery drain. But, the G5 is not a good looking phone when compared to their previous flagships. I do like the 'Magic Slot' but the curved top of the screen feels...wrong to me, unnecessary.
                        The HTC, I've never been a fan so didn't get as far as the battery life. As I mentioned previously, too much unused space. Although better than previous models.
                        I always check various sites and blogs when looking at phones and providing information. I try to be as correct and unbiased (will never always work) as I can.
                        Out of all the phones provided in the pointless 'poll' I prefer the P9 as it suits my needs and hand quite nicely. It is unassuming and almost - almost - modest when compared to Samsung, HTC and LG.
                        Again, as before, I do not feel the Sony is an option for anyone yet as it has not been released. No one knows how it will behave and the X line up still have larger-than-average bezels.
                        That is all the reasoning for my comment, my opinion.
                        I do not have any issues with Samsung, I feel they're overpriced - LG too - for what they are, they're almost on par with Apple's over the top pricing now. I don't like the fans of either company (Samsung or Apple) which goes in favour of other companies, yes, they have the stubborn fans, too, but they aren't as numerous or loud.

                        For the future record, to clarify any misunderstandings;
                        I have one account and do not post in anon.
                        I post my opinions - that is all they are supposed to be.
                        Feel free to correct me but provide actual proof and be conversational, not aggressive-fanboy.
                        I do check my information and try to convey as much fact in my posts as I can.

                                  still it seems to have way more features. looks like the one to win.
