Hey All
I'm getting reasonably close to upgrading my phone, and I'm having real difficulty in picking amongst a select few devices. If I could have some advice from fellow minded people, it would really help me make a sensible choice.
My past phone history has lead me to decide that I should forever ask for a lot of second opinions before picking a device, as each time I've been burnt by choosing phones I was sorta happy with, and not super happy with. I need genuine reasoning (and peer pressure) to help me pick a phone.
THE CONTENDERS
iPhone 6S
I'm big on android, however lately I've really mellowed on the OS and feel like a change. The idea of owning an iPhone to me is simplicity, I'm one of those weird people who cannot help but play around with their homescreens and build new ones almost all the time, but I'm getting to that stage in life where all I really want is a device where I can do my browsing online, check social media, listen to my music and watch a tonne of online video. Just a simple device that gets this stuff done, and does it well. The major drawbacks to an iPhone are my online services, I'm very Google heavy- in that I use Chrome, Drive, Photos, Play Music & Gmail daily. I don't want to go head first into iTunes and the Apple ecosystem, and therefore I'm not sure if the iPhone will work well for me.
Nexus 6 OR Nexus 5X
If I were to remain on android, I'd go stock. I currently have a GS5 and the one thing I absolutely loathe is Touchwiz. I'm absolutely sold on stock android, however which device is better? The 5X with the newer but less impressive specs and smaller form factor? Or the behemoth that is the OG 6? With the massive screen that will suit my heavy consumption of video?
I'm sorry for the long spiel. But I need honest opinions to make an informed choice.
iPhone 6 Vs Nexus Crew. Who wins & why.
THE BIG QUESTIONS (TL;DR)
Is the iPhone a great Google Phone?
Does The OG N6 hold its own against the new Nexus devices?
