You could also buy a dbrand skin for your S6.

I still can't believe how smooth 5.1 is on my 2013 Moto X, especially relative to my N7, it's awesome.

If the past is any indicator, I would expect an email later today (after 5pm EST) with an invite to the private forums with the rollout starting Tuesday morning. That's assuming nothing odd pops up.

Hey. I have an LG G3 with 5.0. I use the Verizon Message+ app for texting. I want the new emojis. Google yields dubious results on achieving this. Thoughts? Not opposed to using a diferent text app like Textra or Handsent. I use Swift Key keyboard if that matters. Thanks!

Looking to upgrade from my old Note 3 (AT&T). I have an upgrade available. Not a big touchwiz hater, doesn't bug me that much. I think my upgrade options I wanted to look into: - S6: Pro: Looks great, already used to Touchwiz. Con: Battery life would drive me crazy, coming from a Note 3. - S6 Active Pro: Can't break it, good battery life. Con: Ugly as hell, and 32gb after touchwiz isn't that much. - Nexus 6 Pro: AOSP, will get updates fast (in theory), great screen/sound. Con: I'm kind of sick of how big my Note 3 is, so a smaller phone would be nice. If the N6 was the same size as the N5, I'd be all over it. Also, I feel like I heard a lot of battery life complaints? What else should I be looking at? What's everybody else using/loving these days?

As with all things, don't believe the HYPE. Buddy of mine was trying to prove it wouldn't break and tossed it in a bowl of water for a couple minutes. He pulled it out and it worked fine so he was gloating, about an hour later it turned off and the screen is hosed now. I don't know what the battery life was like. I have an S6 and battery life hasn't been much of an issue for me other than random days where Google Services gps bug drains it inside a couple hours, but I get a solid 16hrs out of it before I put it on charge and that's usually with 30-50% battery left. I didn't have a Note3 to compare to, but had a OG Note and it didn't last this long.

A decent option is to burn the upgrade on an iPhone 6, sell it and buy a MotoX 2014 for a fraction of the what you can sell the iPhone6 for, and pocked a couple bills.

In fact, it doesn't even come close. I'd return it but there's not exactly a glut of waterproof, wireless charging, 3500mah phones on the market right now.

As long as it's impact resistant, I'll be fine. Dropped all my phones so many times to concerete and whatnot, S6 surely would shatter to pieces in no time since it's made of unusable materials.

Hadn't heard about that one. Kind of ugly but that battery is amazing. I'd definitely have given it a look if I'd known about it.

How does one ask to be a part of a soak test for the Moto X 2013 (vzw if it makes a difference)? I keep googling, but my googling sucks.

Thanks! That was embarrassingly tough for me to find out on my own. edit: anyone else have trouble adjusting to the new clock app for the moto x? They moved some things around and the background is a violet blue color.

"d[-.- posted:b" post="447138529"] I'm going to give this a shot and see how it goes. If that doesn't handle it, I really may just try grip tape. The sacrificing of so much function for form on the S6 has really rankled me. Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

If not, the best option would probably be to wait. The Note 5, new Moto X, and new Nexus aren't that far off. I can't really recommend the S6 to anyone right now - the performance and battery life leave much to be desired (thanks Samsung!). If there was a GPE edition, I have a feeling it would do much better in both areas. Yeah this seems like the best choice, and most people have said something similar. Thanks guys.
