So currently I'm using a Note 4. I like it, except for the lag, battery drain, and overheating problems. My wife makes fun of my phone because her 6 Plus doesn't have the lag my phone does, nor does it overheat or have the battery drain. To make matters worse, she is Jump upgrading to the 6S (she ended up not liking the phablet size).
So I want to use my T-Mobile Jump upgrade to get a new phone.... but I'm having serious trouble deciding. I don't want the Note 5 because 1) I never use the stylus 2) I don't want to deal with the lag all Samsung phones seem to have (My Galaxy S3 and S4 also both lagged) 3) Samsung ditched the SD Card. BOOOOOO.
So what I want
1) Blazing performance. I love gaming, but hate how the 6Plus seems to perform better than my Note 4 in this regard. Lets get that FPS up there!
2) Removable Battery (If possible, not a hard requirement.
3) NFC for mobile payments
4) SD Card storage expansion
5) Fingerprint unlock
6) Phablet, so 5.7" screen. I'm not picky about color accuracy so much or pixel density.
7) Good battery life. My wifes 6Plus spanks the Note 4... ugh. Help me show her Androids can have great battery life as well!
I was initially eyeing the LG V10, but noticed the 808 SoC and lower GPU performance tests.... some website said my Note 4 performed better! What the heck... shouldn't a phone that just came out as a flagship perform better than Samsungs last note?
I should also mention I'm OK waiting a few months for an unreleased phone... assuming the specs are considered solid at this point.
