Who's switching to the G4?

player22 · May 12, 2015

There has to be a point in time hopefully pretty soon when they stop all this my phone is thinner than yours by 1mm crap and start giving us phones we can actually use all day long without having to even begin to think about charging until we go to bed.
Who cares who's phone is thinner . There freiking thin enough already.
Stop making then thinner and thinner and start making them last longer and longer.
OK I'm done

Samsung has done an excellent job with the look and feel of the S6 and S6 edge. I'm enjoying my Gold S6 edge to much. I don't think the G4 had enough to entice me to switch

I'm not debating which is more efficient, that's not my point. I'm just saying that I'm not satisfied with the smaller batteries we're seeing across the board in 2015, and I really hate that they're selling us on efficiency.

personally I'd prefer a slightly thicker phone, larger battery, and that efficiency would make things even better.

I'm a Samsung fan and owner, the black S6 Edge is the nicest phone I've ever seen, maybe the best electronic device. I'm just not satisfied with sub 3000 mAh batteries despite the gorgeous aesthetics. I'm not happy with the G4 battery either, and I won't be til the norm is 3500+ ... then I'd be happy with efficiency, cause my phone would easily last all day with heavy use. wouldn't have to worry about quick charge or replaceable batteries.

idk. heading into 2015 my #1 hope was that we'd see better, much better, battery life. maybe I'm just a little bitter!

Post was in response to you inference about buzz words. Something has to account for the battery performance that some of us are getting if it is not the improved optimization of firmware working in concert with improved hardware. It is a case seeing is believing. We are all not suffering some form of mass delusion as there are a couple of dozen or more threads with battery life screen shots from users who aren't suffering cell standby or battery drain issues of 5.0.2.

S6 has better chip and better screen, nothing really makes anyone want a G4 when compared to s6 unless you care for the removable battery and sd card

Pointless post. Many reviewers are saying the screens are neck and neck and it's really a matter if you prefer AMOLED or not.

And btw, my gs6 screen was one of the reasons I returned it. Pink tint on white background is apparently pretty common. I certainly don't consider that "better"

I agree about the screen. The S6 screen looks more vibrant and the whites were brighter in the reviews I've seen so far. The G4 screen is better than the G3 but side by side with the S6 it's appears inferior especially in sunlight.

I actually like the G4. I won't be switching mainly on the fact that I just got the S6 and have done a lot of phone hopping lately haha.

I will admit there are a few things I like about the G4. Also the camera shots I have seen from the guys (Phil and them) on G+ all look really good. I honestly think no one will be really going down the "wrong" path if they grab a G4 .. or a S6.

If I had an S6 I don't think I'd feel the need to switch. It's obviously a device of the highest quality. But I have NOT got an S6, so G4 here I come.

Re: Who's switching to th G4?

I'll probably be getting it. Mainly because I tend to get bored with phones quickly and have an unhealthy addiction to getting the "latest and greatest". The S6 is a great device and the G4 looks to be another solid option.
