Super Amoled is just better. Even with IPS, when I look at the screen from the side, the whole screen gets a strong blue/yellow tone.
            I love my Galaxy S6's screen and I like that TVs use OLED now.

              Was a stupid move not to include SD card . we dont care if the SD is slower ... the speed is enough for movies and most of us use it for movies and photoes .

                  Of course there will be no "lite" model - it is already lite, without the microsd card slot.

Go read this article "IDC Forecasts Worldwide Shipments of Wearables to Surpass 200 Million in 2019, Driven by Strong Smartwatch Growth and the Emergence of Smarter Watches". I dont post link because it might not work. Anyway, worldwide shipments of wearable devices are expected to reach 110 million by the end of 2016 with 38.2% growth over the previous year. You hear that! It is growing very well.

Which means GPU is working more on QHD than on FHD. There would be battery gains in FHD, just how much is the real question. Ofc the comparison is not between S7 Edge and OP3 since former has bigger battery.

Look at the Pentile Matrix and Diamond Pentile. Every single pixel, the blue color is bigger than red and green. Because the blue color tend to "die first". You can see, blue has more frequency but short on wavelength.

                              Also, USB Type-C is not compatible with QC (it is possible to have QC over Type-C connector, but you'd have to break official Type-C regulations).

                                And no one actually use SDcard to store apps anymore, because times where phone had 512Mb for apps is long time gone.
                                SD card is for storing media files and random documents, and here current card speeds are sufficient for that. Not to mention that lots of people still store files on cards and its just more useful that any cloud system that not only need fast internet connection but use also more power and resources.
                                Dont tell me that you would be happy for having device that have only 64GB+unreliable cloud system if you, like me and most of people, had music that you collected for years, bunch of family photos and videos that you always want to have with you(no matter of internet range) and space for all that HD 2/4k videos... because such videos take huge amount of space, and I cant imagine that you would sync it with cloud everytime.

                                Sometimes I thing that most of people here, sit in home and move occasionally to work/school and beside nothing, and you just cant imagine that even in middle of Europe you cant have fast internet for 24H and when you actually work and actually use your device, such limiting like removing card reader is huge pain, than none of that fake benchmarks cant replace, those are only numbers, that in real life are useless.

OnePlus dash charge is more like rebrand of OPPO VOOC, they moved some part from phone to charger to don't make phone hot while charging.

                                    You have to remember that for amoled displays, having a higher resolution doesn't take much battery. So in other words having a lower resolution won't result in battery gains.

                                      heh... and you have any data to cover that statement? Because In real world, smartwatch industry is actually in hole, where after this few years, no one still know what to actually do with it, and selling numbers are low or in stagnation.
                                      And recent news about android watch 2.0 that made small mess and big disappointment for users in terms of compatibility made it even worst, because people realize that companies gonna make nothing more than yet another fragmented system to squeeze more money every few months

You just one of those non believer in new tech and keep protesting advances in modern technology. No Qhd for smartphone? You just kidding yourself. Look at smartwatches. People said we dont need it. Smartwatch hype will die soon they said and here we are in 2016 and the smartwatch industry is booming very well after several years. That goes for VR market too. High resolution especially used in Super Amoled and QHD display is important in this era. 4K even, if smartphone manufacturer start to decide it is time for bigger change.
