You guys have put an s7 edge pic for the s7..is that intentional?
Anyways i haven't voted...the reasons are here..if the note was here i would have gone for that, unfortunately it crashed and burned...literally..so i would go for the s7 edge, but since i own it, i felt its a biased choice, as i have not given much thought on the others, especially the htc...
The pixels are too costly, iphone got rid of the audio jack(and has the stupid itunes dependence but lets not go there)..the thing i liked about xperia was its glass sandwich..thats gone..and I'm not very particular about the chinese flagships..
So in the end..all i can say is that if the bad pr and press and Samsung hating does lead to the ending of note series..too bad the world probably lost the most versatile(note the wording..versatile not saying the best) phones ever..i mean come on the end user won't notice a 10% change in performance when playing angry birds..he'll be more interest in jotting stuff on that screenshot thst he is then going to share on whatsapp...and cameras...they have reached a saturation point..and after all those instagram filters no one is going to notice the details anyways...

    All the new phones coming up are really crappy.... and they don't really deliver as what they are written in the reviews where my thoughts the reviews are all manipulated by companies. Specs wise on the new phones are either 1 or 2 important components are missing and creating a hell lot of confusion for the end user. Most changes are either on the RAM or CPU and of course the screen size and pixels. Others are more or less the same... it's just like you're either giving a good mod on your vehicle's engine or pumpin' the wheel's inches.... but it's the same car chassis and base.
    Nowadays, the most disappointing is the screen pixels are not getting better. Like the LG G5 for instance, the ppi for the screen is 554ppi compared to the V20's, 514ppi. screen pixels have gone down from these 2 in comparisons. Yes, the V20 offers a lot more features like the 2nd top screen, but is there really a need... or a want?
    Most company creating phones especially Huawei and Xiaomi... they only differs in terms of a little tweaks on the phone specs and differs in big for what you're paying for your bucks... just like P9 Plus and G9 Plus... In terms of CPU, Camera differences... other specs are quite in similar and the screen pixels aren't getting any better. It's all making the consumers go round and some even unable to make their choice of phone that they NEED...!
    For me, the LG G4 is still the best around in terms of features and of course the specs aren't that great to be competitive this time round... but it is still significant in this arena compared to todays' mid-range phone.

    I don't need anyone's agreement or disagreement in this topic... just writing to fill my own opinions...
