Which is the best Samsung smartphone of 2015?

Many of us will be struggling to decide which smartphone to get or maybe firstly, which platform e.g android or iOS. In the past few years, I have tended to go with Samsung. The clear contenders are the Samsung Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge plus and Galaxy Note 5.

Galaxy S6
This is a beautiful phone, introducing the glass finish and premium look. However, the edge display is sexier looking and so you could do better.

Galaxy S6 edge
Worryingly, many people who bought this device were disappointed to later learn that Samsung was releasing the edge plus. Pretty much the same phone but bigger display at 5.7 instead of 5.1in, bigger RAM at 4gb instead of 3gb, bigger battery at 3000mAh instead of 2600 and a higher pixel density on the edge plus.

If you are looking for bigger is better, this is your device.

Galaxy Note 5
The best Samsung device ever, up to last year in my opinion, was the Note 4. Multitasking capability was from another dimension. There were high expectations for the Note 5 and it did not deliver. The Note 4 is still a beast that is only let down by its design and feel. It lacks that elegance that Samsung has introduced with the 2015 devices and poor RAM.

Verdict
For me, there is one clear winner. Samsung devices struggle with lag, mainly due to 2 things being RAM and touchwiz. The edge plus has shown absolutely no lag in the time I've had it. It has all the goodness of the other devises but bigger and better. I hope Samsung do better with the next Note as I have always preferred them, but for now, I'm sticking with the edge plus.

My Frustration with O2 and lack of understanding of support for the 4G version of Samsung's Galaxy Watch 3

Image
I have made a video  of how to connect to O2 or EE if that is where you would like to start.    Context I have owned both Samsung and Apple smartwatches since the first issues of both. I review tech on YouTube so know a little bit about this subject. My last network-enabled smartwatch was an Apple Watch connected to O2. Setup was straightforward. Query I want an eSIM plan to use with my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 (4G version) and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. I am already on a phone plan with O2. Contact and advice Phone call – Screened as not urgent. They are only taking urgent calls during the pandemic. Advised to visit website www.o2.co.uk. What they do not know is that I always start with the website before I make contact. There is no plan for the Galaxy Watch 3 or information for the 4G smartwatch except for pairing. I decided to use the conversation feature within the MyO2 app. Conversation feature (a feature like instant messenger within the O2 app to talk to tech support) Cannot help with

Galaxy s2 battery drain after ics update (Poor battery life)

So if you have now got your ics update you will be over the moon. I have had mine for a few days and i have to say, it's the best mobile phone operating system i've ever used (yes i've used ios longer than i've been on android). I'm not going to go into this though. I've noticed one problem which is battery drain. Now i don't know the technical stuff apart from things like turning off bluetooth, wifi, etc saves battery. I'm gonna tell you that you don't need to change any of the settings you had before the upgrade. What you need to do is let your battery go flat and then charge it fully from the mains not bluetooth. Do this a few times (usually takes a week of using ics to sort the problem out) and the system seems to optimise battery use and should be back to how it was before the upgrade.
