my sister's husband used to have some samsung hugephone, but then bought an iphone... 5? because the samsung was too big and wouldn't fit into the pockets of his work clothes.

It's garbage by every metric. I don't want to resort to ad hominem arguments, but in this case, the fact that you're severely mentally ill, it's warranted.

I kind of want to wait and get the SE-mk2 whenever they release it as my 6 is working fine and it would be nice if it had the force touchy thingy but I worry they'll double down and take the headphone jack off that too.

the iP7+ and 6P are pretty much the same size but the 6p has a screen .2" bigger. visionary jony ive aces minimalist design again.

also, the 6p is much easier to hold than the 6s+ at least because the sides are actually flat instead of perfectly curved edges that are impossible to grip without having the precision of a 15 year old korean starcraft player

yeah, it's pretty bad outdoors. looks great inside tho. OLED at night is especially good. bigger screen for same size phone is good, no matter how you slice it, higher resolution. dunno what you mean by colour, i'm using sSRG mode.

at least the 6P doesn't bend with normal use (it disintegrates)

also wasn't the encryption total crap and slowed the device down so bad they disabled it with a software update?

i mean this is the phone that effectively killed the Nexus line. feel sorry for anyone who had a previous Nexus and "upgraded" to this only to get Huawei garbage
