Time to upgrade my phone as I'm currently using the 4s. It's tiny, slow as death with its 500MB of RAM, and with only 16GB of storage (less after software and proprietary, unerasable apps) I frequently find myself swapping songs out. When I think about what I want most from a phone it's speed and ease of use. I don't want to wait for anything, and I want as few steps as possible to achieve my objective. The Galaxy s6, Edge and Active beat out the new iphone 6s in all the hardware specs, but does the Galaxy creative as intuitive a user experience as the iphone is consistently able to deliver?
Right now I'm checking out the Galaxy s6 active, which is water and shatter resistant. As for speed the 6s has 2GB while the Galaxy has 3GB. In fact, when you look at every single spec bar none, the Galaxy appears to be better: better display resolution, better camera, better pixel density, has optical image stabilization, wireless charging, fast charging, and twice the battery size. Unfortunately the maximum storage is bizarrely limited to 32GB for the Galaxy Active, which after their proprietary, un-erasable apps leaves you with just 26GB to play with. But all that aside, again, is the Galaxy s6 easy? And I don't mean easy for a smart person, I mean easy for a complete fool. Like the iphone, I want a phone that's ideal for the caveman who's just been thawed out of ice and is trying to integrate into his frightening new world.

not to derail the thread
just find it funny that our needs for computing in a phone are absolutely nuts now
your apple 4s....with 500mb of ram and 16gb of storage is bigger and faster than the first super computers i saw in the 80's in the military.....and it isnt even close
and those took up half a building space wise.....
amazing the jumps in technology in just 30-40 years
