Still have a nokia, holding out as long as I can before I jump on the Iphone/Smarphone bandwagon.
Do you want to buy a Nokia hands free set by any chance? 8 years old but still in ok condition.
Due an upgrade next week. Should I hold off for the Galaxy S6 or go ahead and get the Note?

A week
I bought the Oneplus one which arrived last week off the back of recommendations from @Kinvara’s Passion[/USER] and [USER=1137]@The Big Cheese. It’s a superb phone to be fair, very pleased i bought it. Battery life is awesome, it was a big pain in my balls having to charge a phone daily. Thanks lads.
Torn between a one plus one and an iPhone 6 plus.
What say you @The Big Cheese[/USER] / [USER=2269]@Tess Tickle et al?

I have an Oneplus One since last August and would also highly recommend it Some random factors to consider in making your decision:
is Apple or Android an issue for you?
If money is a factor, off-contract you can get the Oneplus One for <1/2 the price of an iPhone 6 plus.
Little or no after sales customer service with the Oneplus One - returning a faulty or damaged phone could be a tortuous process.
if you’re into rooting, flashing roms & kernels etc you can modify the Oneplus One very easily.
If you just want a highly specced smart-phone that works very well and money isn’t an issue or you’re happy to sign up to a 18 - 24 month contract then go for the iphone 6 plus.

iPhone6
Processor and memory
The two performance powerhouses handle anything with ease, although the Galaxy S6 is undoubtedly more future-proof.
Conclusion
It is astonishing how smartphones, as advanced as they’ve become, are still evolving at a steady pace. When we reviewed the Galaxy Note 4 several months ago, it was hard to imagine how a handset could get any better, yet here we are, holding on to the Samsung Galaxy S6 which gives the answers to our question.
Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is better than the Galaxy Note 4 in many ways. It isn’t leading by much, but ultimately, it does deliver a bigger bang for your buck considering that the two phones carry a similar on-contract price tag. Of course, making the choice between the two will be affected by one’s priorities, but the number of reasons to go with the Galaxy S6 is greater, in our opinion.
For starters, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is quite the looker. It is a gorgeous handset, probably Samsung’s best-looking phone yet, and this alone will draw many potential buyers. We aren’t implying that the Galaxy Note 4 is a bad-looking phone, but when it comes to appearance, it is the more conservative handset.
Furthermore, the Galaxy S6 runs on the most refined version of the TouchWiz software, which is undoubtedly smoother and more responsive than ever. It’s one of the reasons why the Galaxy S6 feels snappier in real life than the Galaxy Note 4, and it doesn’t take an expert to sense the difference. Performance is further boosted by the Galaxy S6’s superior hardware, including faster processor, storage, and RAM. And if that’s not enough, you get excellent cameras both on the front and on the back of the Galaxy S6.
But as we said above, the Galaxy Note 4 is not lagging behind by much. Phones of this caliber are growing in popularity, and for someone looking for the ultimate phablet, the Note 4 is still the best phone to pick. Size aside, the Note 4’s display panel packs just as many pixels as the one on the Galaxy S6 and it is almost as color-accurate.
Hardware-wise, don’t expect Samsung Galaxy Note 4’s processor and memory to perform better than the hardware inside the Galaxy S6. But don’t let this worry you either. The Galaxy Note 4 is still a high-end handset and should not disappoint you with its performance.
Its 16MP main camera won’t disappoint you either. It is fast, accurate, and performs well under the trickiest of conditions. The Galaxy S6 is, again, leading in the camera department, but only by a hair.
Another reason to stick with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is that it’s likely to deliver better battery life. Sure, its hardware might not be as power-efficient, but the larger battery compensates for this pretty well, looking at our battery benchmarks. Plus, the Note 4’s battery is removable and can be easily swapped.
And if you can’t let go of your microSD card, then the Note 4 is the phone you should check out. The Galaxy S6 relies solely on internal storage, and larger models will cost you extra. The Galaxy Note 4, on the other hand, plays along well with even the largest of microSD cards, which are a cheaper (albeit slower) alternative.
