Need to replace my phone - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

D_Thissen · 01-11-2016, 03:01 PM

Hey everyone,
My current Z30 is in need of replacement and I have been thinking of a couple phones.

The new priv is appealing because it has expandable memory but is running Android 5.1 and has a price tag of 375CAD on contract.

The other one I was looking at was the new nexus 6p, it doesn't have expandable memory, but is running Android 6.0 and while not cheap at 199CAD, is a bit more affordable.

Do any of you have these phones or can recommend something else?

Which one do you have? My gf made the switch from iPhone to an S5 and seems to like it.

I am stuck with an iPhone because that is what work gives me but my son in law swears that the 6p is the best phone he has ever had. Even on the crappy Bell network (same as mine) his will do everything almost twice as fast as my 5s will. If I was looking for a phone I would strongly consider it.

Galaxy or iPhone, you can't lose either way IMO

I have the s6. I made the switch from a iphone and like it better.

I have the Nexus 6 (not P) and I like it a lot. I hear the P is basically better in every way, with the exception of not having built in wireless charging support.

Galaxy people just think their phones are great because they have never had a Nexus phone. The Galaxy S5 and S6 are terrible. Trust me, go with the Nexus line and never look back. Pure Android, fastest updates, less bloatware, less junk. You'll love it.

Would 32gb be large enough? I'm not sure how large the OS file is. I know on my Z30 9 out of 16gb is for the OS. I can only imagine how big it is on the Nexus.

32 GB Nexus 6, here. Shows just under 26GB on the phone. I have 10GBs of apps, and 2 GBs of photos. Still have plenty of free space.

I ll stick with iphone forever unless they have better phone.

What provider are you with Dan?

Teseo · 01-11-2016, 04:48 PM

Galaxy indeed

Get a OnePlus Two if you can afford off contract price. It runs a little less than 500, with shipping and tax.
