I am an Android fan, but even I will confess that the s4 has a factory fault of overheating.. I have confirmed about four s4 devices with this problem..my sis was practically moving about with a handkerchief in her palm whenever she handled her s4..till she dropped it for an iPhone 5s...the s3 is a more stable device than the s4...

Its Samsung phones generally, they are yet to get it right. Maybe they should send a spy to Apple

Yesterday I used my iPad for almost 18 hours straight, and this includes gaming, movies and constant tethering, yet the bad boy did not even get warm. Give it to Apple please, they rock!!

This phone has overheating problems like all Samsung as you have stated. It has also burnt your laps. I'm wondering why you still have it to the extent of trying to flash a marshmallow rom when nougat is already released and it's ROMs will be out in a months time

ollah1:
The reason why iphones are tagged overpriced is cos of its hardware and perhaps limited software functionality.
For a Base iphone 6s. U have a 16GB, 2GB, 720P, 1500mAh and no OIS phone while the plus is just a bigger version of the base which can't be compared to its most direct counterpart(Samsung Note). Yes, the Apple guys will defend all these as expected but facts is absolutely nothing stops Apple from bumping up these phones with these hardwares and still sell at the current rate.
Like you said tho, to each his own

use any of these apps showbox, popcorn time, moviehd

infolekan:
Isn't that talk about a hell lot of buck outdated? You should at least know how much they sell the high end androids and realize that premium is now premium. Most of these phone are more expensive than even the iPhone that you think is overpriced.
There's so much can to say but then it'd probably still end up to each to his own opinion.

Its called Inferiority Complex

somehowpenis:
with the boldes post above, who is now making who to feel much better ? Lmao.. You android lots are something else, i own android, i own an iphone, I don't care whichever you think its better, i care for whichever i think its better, and Iphone it is.. If Google finally improves in the area were iphone leads, i will gladly become an android fan again, but for now, they aren't

Let the Android fanboys run their mouth, As usual we go just lay back

jmichlins:
I just wish that be so. Sincerely they pushed marcel to the brink after sacrificing many things for them. Hope is alive today is because of him. Talking about GOT, I stopped watching it when my phone was stolen and will continue once I manage to get another and I hope it happens soon cause just like you, am a fan of Flash

seunoni34:
How come most iPhone users have at one point or the other used an [s4, s5, s6] whose shortcoming will be blamed on all android phones...? Hahahahaha this is interesting.
From this thread I can deduce that Apple fanboys are the most annoying and ignorant tech analyst of all time.
I don't blame them though, I can't buy a crappy stuff for a hell buck of money not defend it when opportunity presents itself, atleast to make myself feel better about my "wasted" money.
All the same, crap is still crap.
Good day

1. The innovator edition is more expensive
2. Comes with a bag , better head strap and has an inbuilt fan and overall better packaging.
3. Supports only s6 and s6 edge while the consumer edition supports that plus note 5 and s6 edge plus.
4. Consumer edition is lighter, no fans but vents.

Elxandre:
Hope Apple is finally giving you guys fast charge this year?
I know what they'll say, "Fast charge is a gimmick"
Maybe they'll add a fast charging kit and price it $100

greenhulk:
I think it got to do with the size of the s6. S6 edge and note 5 a larger and got more breathing space. Samsung improved the cooling with the s7. As for me I cannot dare to use my s6 in vr without the Ac on and fan blasting at max soeed, na pure wahala I dey find. On a brighter note I can still watch a full 3d movie in vr without Ac, oculus cinema is less demanding than other vr contents.

somehowpenis:
So it is back to this same pointless arguments again?? I was actually enjoying the VR knowledge, ...


Who knows any good series movie that has a supernatural setting like The Originals and witches of East End, and a type of epic setting like Game of Thrones?? I prefer series to normal movies..

Overheard GOT Season 7 has been pushed further to 2017. Now they are writing out of the book

Meanwhile please get yourself a VR headgear and jump into virtual reality.

From what I've watched so far, the gear experience is really immersive and the next best thing to hit mankind. I will totally give it to Samsung here. It is even all the more intriguing when you combine your gaming with the SteelSeries Stratus XL, Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Controller

ollah1:
Dude stop this worshipping. Just shut it. The s6 and edge variant heats up while on VR. VR isn't a small thing. It requires top notch hardware and solid software to make it work seamlessly. Was the liquid cooling present in the edge plus and note 5?
Can't you reason and talk without been biased and quit ur fanboyism.

Samsung phones overheating. You concluded their phones overheat and you don't have any in hand atm perhaps u've got an older forgotten version with you.

iPones don't overheat right?

ollah1:
Regarding the s6 heating up while edge plus and note 5 not heating up, could it be because of the extra RAM they both have since they all have same chipset?

greenhulk:
The truth is that Galaxy s6 and s6 edge heats up while using vr, Some apps and light games give less heat while heavy games and watching 360 degrees content will shut down vr within 10 minutes, sometimes less. Watching movies in vr is fine too. However Galaxy s7, s7 edge, Note 7 and 6 edge plus don't heat up, u can be in vr for hours without shutting down.

Normally I only use my s6 on vr inside full ac and ceiling fan blowing at maximum to avoid the heating issues. Or just sit in front of a standing fan. The Vr content on Samsung's gear vr is very heavy and only high end Samsung phones can survive it. When using my s6 with google cardboard apps there's no heating issues as those apps are like demo compared to Samsung gear vr apps.

Hilarious @ the bolded

This is why I like your posts, you are very realistic. You say it as it is. Nice.
Now on to the issue of Cardboard. How do u use Cardboard apps with Samsung VR? Thought it only supports stock Oculus apps.

greenhulk:
Very much yes and the experience makes me hyper. It is one of the best thing I have experienced (second to 6d motion ride I experienced ). Samsung and oculus killed it with the gear VR, way way better than using google cardboard. In fact every other vr experience on android are glorified cardboard as they use cardboard sdk and the play store for apps. Samsung vr however use oculus store and it is the only mobile vr with access to oculus apps and my oh my there are lots of quality vr apps , games and immersive experience.

You forgot to mention the overheating experience

I heard you can't use the phone for up to 20 minutes with the gear on, it practically overheats to the point that you can't touch the phone at all or else you will sustain burns! If this is true then the entire Gear VR Technology is worthless!! Some even say you have to strap ice cubes around the phone to use it with the VR Headgear.

And this experience is said to be even worse with the Galaxy S6. Well I don't known how true these allegations are but if they are really true then I think Samsung have got a lot of refining to do on their new introduction.

You don't have to use wirele headset, apple will probably include a headphone with lightning port, and u can already buy lightning port headphones in stores, plus u can also use an adaptor. It might sound a big deal right now but if they eventually remove it, we will live and not miss it after a few yrs.

On a bright side, u get better audio DAC by connecting with the lighting port than through the headphone jack.

greenhulk:
Actually Motorolla Moto Z and Moto Z force android phones do not have headphone jacks, these are one of the sexiest phones of 2016. If Apple ditch the headphone jack do not be surprised it won't affect their sales so far we are getting better audio. This was the same thing people said when Apple shifted to the lighting port, a lot of people complained beause old cables will no longer work with new iphones but today everyone has moved on. Looks like u under estimate the power of the iphone's lightining port.. that thing is a multimedia port and Apple are yet to fully utilize it. Android needed to move from micro usb port to usb type c which is also a much better multimedia port than the old micro usb.

Ditching the headphone jack means headphones will now have to connect with the lightning port or usb type c port for android which will give better audio performance than the 3.5mm headphone jack. And if u don't have a lighting headphone u can always get an adaptor for it. The only downside is u can't use wired headphones and charge ur phone at the same time.. but really who does that?

Cathony:
I swear I don't like that too,their reasons were not convincing enough(aesthetic features). I don't feel comfortable using wireless headset always. Still gonna continue wit my 6s plus until d headphone Jack is back ryt where it used to be.

somehowpenis:
not wise.. Combine maybe a surface pro and an iphone, or an ipad and an android..

Surface Pro?? Bros not all of us are power users ooh

I just need a tablet to browse, play games and watch movies

I really don't need something bundled with a software to hack the White House

ameerh:
ok thanks
