Samsung S7 Edge or 6s Plus would probably be the two choices depending on your OS preference, unless you're like me and can't stand the lack of a removable battery. It's bullshit that I'm gonna pay 8-9 hundred for a phone, but in two years will have to have it tethered to a power supply instead of being able to find another use for it as an extra device.

The G5 from LG would be my choice. I have the G4 and the G5 isn't a big enough upgrade for me to warrant the trade in so I'm gonna stay with my G4 for the time being.

The G4 is super cheap rn too. T-Mobile has it for like 16 bucks a month where the S7 is like 32

Probably a G5. My G3 has been good to me

Yep. I have been hearing exactly what you said from other people in regards to the gap between the G4 and the G5 being pretty small, so I see no reason to pony up the extra cash. I love my G3 so I'm pretty sure I'll love the G4 just as much.

The LG V10 is also another option.. Its not as cheap as the G4, but its technically a little better processor wise and it has that second screen gimmick you might like.

I've had my G4 for about 6 months and it has been nothing short of fantastic and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new handset.

I have an iPhone 6s for work and I prefer the G4 which cost me only $325US outright compared to an iPhone which work payed for that must of been close to $1000US.

Fuck yeah. G4/G5 are both phenomenal phones. I had a Nexus 5 prior to this and the G4 is superior in every way, and when you add expandable storage (my G4 is 32GB with a 64GB card, so I have about 92 gigs to use on the phone) and a removable battery, it's just a sick phone.

If money is not an issue would most of you pick s7 edge over G5?

Tbh, the non-removable battery is bullshit.. After a year of regular use phone batteries start losing their charge quicker and charge slower.. The fact they are forcing you into hopefully buying another one of their phones because of the battery is a shitty business model i cant really support even if i had money to blow.

I still have the old LG Optimus G. Only reason I haven't upgraded before now is because I fucking refuse to finance a telephone like all the carriers want you to now. So I'm probably going to pay out of pocket for a G4 here pretty soon. I've seen some online for ~200 bucks.

Great deal imo

Especially if it allows you to shit on carriers

These fucking carriers trying to spin the shit like the new plans are good deals, saying they're cheaper to offset the price of the phone. The dude at Sprint took a look at my older plan and found that a new plan was actually more expensive... without the price of a phone. I tried buying a discounted phone at Best Buy for signing a 2-year contract (like carriers used to do), but Sprint was going to automatically increase my monthly bill by $25 per line (I have three fucking lines).

The only option I have is to pay Sprint full price per phone (fuck them), or buy a phone on my own and have it activated. Like I said, I have three, soon to be four, phones. There's no way in fucking hell I'm going to finance or lease phones. That would increase my bill up to 100 bucks more per month.

Okay rant over.

G4 if on a budget. V10 or Nexus 6p for mid priced phones. S7 edge if money isn't an issue.

I have a 6s and like it okay, but wouldn't recommend it over the S7 in the same price bracket.

From what I've read, the S7 has problems in low light.

G5 has a ridiculously nice camera, it's probably the phone I'd with with at this point.

Just got a note 4 for $200.

Me and my wife went from a $200 phone bill per month for 2 lines to $90 a month.

Coming from ATT I was a little skeptical about cricket thinking it was some lame phone service. Turns out they use the same towers as and are owned by ATT. They have no contracts so I figured I would give it a month trial run.

I've now had them for 1 year, have never had a problem with their service or speed, and get 20 gigs a month (promo they had when I signed up). Never going back to contracts.

Never going back to contracts.

Most carriers don't even offer them anymore.

And jesus christ $200 for two lines... what kind of plan was that?

With the added payment price of the phone, the plan itself, plus the additional "data plan" for the smart phone. I know they've changed formats recently, but It was coming out to about $170 per month.
