So, my 2 years+ HTC One finally up lorried, 2 weeks after being completely submerged in water.
Thankfully, it made a "fake recovery", allowing me to recover all the data inside before the screen was killed.
I have been using HTC for a VERY LONG time. From the Desire to HTC One - about 7 years.
While I still love their design, I decide to go for a different brand this time to "switch things up". The main reason being their flagship seems to be getting worse while still being overpriced.
At first I thought of getting something cheaper like xiaomi, but guess I was too deeply "poisoned" to go back to using a 'non-premium' phone haha.
Finally decided on the S6 after a day of reviews reading. And it stood up to the hype.
I think I have absolutely zero complains with the phone aside from the average battery.
1. Amazing build/grip/feel. Gone are the cheapo plastic. I would place it on the same level of the HTC flagships, only much lighter.
2. Minimalist software. One of the biggest reason I didn't go Samsung earlier was because of their bloated Touchwiz. This is all gone now in this version, and I'm super impress. They stripped it down to bare essentials with minimal nonsense.
3. In terms of UI, I would still give a slight edge to HTC, but it's really close now. Samsung more than makes up for it by offering some pretty cool and actually useful features like multi-window and fingerprint scanning.
4. The camera is freaking amazing. It totally BLOWS HTC out of the water. You can go read all the reviews, and this truly stands as one of the best smartphone camera of 2015.

I have been using it for barely a day, and I'm already falling in love with it.
I think this is one purchase I won't regret.
