Somehow 2015 lacks the "wow" to me compared with 2014.
This year's new launchings bring more frowns than grins I think, but maybe that's just me.

2016 can't come faster...

    Well I'm starting to feel the old gsm arena is back.It started with the z5 premium review actually.
    Make yourselves the most reliable site....!

      I assume you left out the Sony Xperia E4g out because it didn't get Android Lollipop?

            What is this nonsense about the 808 not being fast enough for QHD ? Have you ever tried one ? I have a Moto X Style right here, and it is plenty fast for QHD.

              Which model is the oppo phone on the introduction page?

                The article says that the Nubia Z9 mini isn't a competitor for the Z3c and S5 as they have better specs.
                However it is a competitor apparently for the OnePlus X which has the same processor and more RAM than the Z3c and S5!
                Apart from that the article is very good, making excellent recommendations.

                    Anonymous, 28 Nov 2015Why was the "2016" Flagship Killer Oneplus 2 not included?Because OP2 was "killed" by flagships.

                      Galaxy A5 has Gorilla Glass 4 and 2gb of RAM it should be on the list! Quality and performance at budget price!

                            With the exception of the Note, LG Flex and Priv, there is so little to tell them apart. Some a faster, some are metal but all are rectangles of glass with not a lot.

                            Where is the GSM Arena Priv review btw?

                                      Can someone confirm that the Redmi Note 3 has microsd card slot? I think it does not.

Other devices worked and connected just fine, but that phone just couldn't make it. And it was in the same small room, right next to the router. Seriously, Sony?
