1. Budget? 40k + 5k
2. Display type and size? Under 5.5 inch
3. Dual sim? nope
4. Preferred choice of brand? Samsung, Lg or Moto
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? Decent camera and a good selfie camera as well
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc). Android or Ios
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready). 4g
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)?Multimedia, camera and very rare gaming
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? I have Galaxy s6 and Iphone 6
10. Any other info that you want to share
I am looking to buy Iphone 6 and it has been a while as well but Galaxy s6 is looking to be a very sweet deal at 39k locally. Now I want advice on the topic will waiting for the iphone 6s will be worth it? And also 16gb variant is what I will be able to buy coz 64 gb will be a lot costly and 16 won't be much.

To be very frank,I dont think ip6 or s6 are really worth it
they arent really tempting

when you are gonna spend so much,the phone should have a wild side/fun factor
granted S6 has a unique curved display but its still not that exciting especially going by the phones you already own

Id suggest waiting for more phones (around october time I guess) or wait for android M,ios 9,W10
All 3 major platform updates will bring forth major changes and Im sure youll need a new phone for those new features

Its never a good time! Whatever you're buying is becoming obsolete in days. Whats the point of spending so much on these non-enduring products

Also, I've had the apple experience & its worst truly, coupled with its stupid restrictions. Now I realise that its way way way overpriced! My ip4 no doubt very old is begging for mercy all the time. I use it only for podcasts, email reading,fb, whatsapp & it hangs like hell. My PC is somewhat new & has good specs (see signature) but iTunes hangs like **** even in that setting.

Not interested in G4. Would like a phone which has fingerprint scanner since android m has native support for this. I use Ios every now and then but still I feel like using it very restricted.

Buy a 10-15k phone now & wait.... Get a new phone next year at around July-August. You will get more phones with fingerprint support to choose from & the new USB type C'

People are noticing lags in G4 too although touchwiz has been toned down a lot this time. S6 is a different Samsung device than its predecessors.

samsung is still wayy worse
plus it has wayy more issues too which LG doesnt have

TW is still poor because Lollipop itself has memory leak issues etc

Display of S6 is more brighter even in sunlight than other smartphones

not really
G4 and many other phones have equally bright display
samsung doesnt have anything unique except for the poor oversaturated colour reproduction

But every youtube reviewer which I've come across like MKBHD, AndroidAuthority, Pocket Now, PhoneArena, TechnoBuffalo have all praise for Samsung's display plus wireless charging is inbuilt along with fingerprint sensor. Dual window has more apps support in S6 than G4.

^Lag,touchwiz,poor A.S.S,exynos,oversaturated camera and display

100% wrong

Doesn't lag as Touchwiz has been toned down. My friend's S4 became faster after lollipop update. Also check Galaxy Grand Prime, which has toned down 4.4 touchwiz, its pretty smooth even though having 1GB RAM

A.S.S is good, much better than micromax, Xiaomi & even HTC, which has low number of service centres

Exynos of S6 is currently best among top smartphones due to heating of S810 & not everyone is interested in dev support. I think S6 will eventually get dev support(i don't know its current status)

Saturation can be controlled since S5 & S6 has one of the most accurate colour reproduction

lol no
I believe in my own eyes and in real owners not some unqualified reviewer who may or may not have been paid or simply use it for the review and never see it again

as for exynos and ASS lol,see the TDF forums itself,filled with issues and complaints
Lollipop+TW = extra lag thanks to memory leaks
exynos heats up more actually
