Phone Suggestions: From Verizon Note 3 to what?

[HardHitter#AC]

I've been out of the phone research for a while. I am a day 1 Verizon Note 3 user and have loved the phone. The obvious upgrade path is to Note 5 but I want to see what there recommendations there are and the reason why. I like the larger screen size (5.7+) and want to be up to date with all the most recent features. I've been looking at the Nexus 6P, but seems like the Note 5 is still superior.

Recommendations and suggestions for what phones for me to look into is appreciated!

If you loved the SPen, stick to the Note line, hands down. I've had every Note since the 2 and still love'em. I switched momentarily from the Note 2 to S4 and missed the pen so much I couldn't wait to get the Note 3 when it came out.

But if you're not a fan of the SPen, then the days of the Note being the only 'big phone' out there are over. The G4 is a very nice alternative with an equally impressive camera, or even the S6+, which is essentially the Note 5 minus the stylus. Nexus is cool and has the big screen, but in the end, especially in the camera department, it won't compare to the Note or the S6's quality. But for the huge price difference, it's worth it for some (and the timely updates for the Nexus line).

Thanks for the reply. Honestly, I don't even use the S-Pen. The whole reason why I went to the Note 3 was due to the screen size at the time. As you've noted, the screen size in other phones seem to have caught up.

I'll look into the S6+. I just want to make sure that I'll be able to have things such a Samsung Pay and Wireless charging. Two features which I believe are not able to be used with the Nexus.

Oh, and you'll be sooooo happy with Samsung Pay! I still get jaw drops every time I use it and they tell you 'Oh, no, we don't take Apple Pay...' and then it works. I swear, once at a Starbucks the guy kept saying I had hacked the terminal and I had a stolen card or something haha.
