If you're like a lot of folks and swap out phones like changing underwear, you'll likely never have a problem abusing batteries

I like it better than the gray wood..

Hmm, I'm using Nova Launcher with the 'Google Now' add on and it retains the 'swipe away' function...

I've had Moto phones since the Droid Maxx. I replaced that with a Droid Turbo (original). Solid phones.. I recently got the urge to upgrade and found, what I thought would meet my prerequisites (big battery, wireless charging, greater chance of udates) in the Samsung S7 edge. :/ I was greatly...

Yup, that's my experience..

I came from an S7 Edge that has the same battery that needed charging a couple times a day.. The Play lasts a lot longer, possibly due the processor..

Interesting.. I had a Samsung Edge that I shelved for the Moto Z Play.. The Play lasts a LOT longer on the same size battery.. Samsung screwed up Android on their phones..

IMHO, your update aversion is unfounded.. Nougat is an upgrade..

It's amazing how much longer the Play runs on the same size battery as an S7 Edge. I bought a Moto Z Play Droid after trying to get used to the Edge. Samsung should have left Android alone, instead of mucking it up ..

I finally reached my saturation point. I bought a Moto Z Play Droid. A bit of a downgrade in specs but a HUGE upgrade in battery life and usability. With roughly the same size battery, The Z kicks the Edges butt in run time. Likely the processor has a lot to do with it, but I haven't had any...

There was an Idiegogo effort to produce one with wireless charging AND an IR blaster.. wonder what the status of that is..

The wireless charging is a little finicky with mine. I use a TYLT charger on my headboard and in the morning, it's sometimes only charged to 60% or so. I have a Kmashi fast wireless charger that I noticed yesterday when connected to SideSync, it wasn't charging at all. This is my first Samsung...

Mine has an issue with pop ups that occasionally show up while using Chrome. I haven't found an app thats causing it and have done scans that haven't found anything.. :/

It's a little hard to believe that dings and scuffs would cause a warranty to be cancelled.. a lot of phones acquire these over time

I connect to a Blackberry Stereo Gateway through a 3.5 mm aux interface that I've owned for a few years and used with a couple previous phones when I'm in the car. I then connect to a Motorola Sonic Rider that I've also used with a couple previous phones. When I make or receive a phone call...
