    new phone (for trials [android])

    Hi mates,

    My old galaxy S4 mini is getting old and freezes and crashes quite often. Also the battery isn't the best anymore, need to recharge after 12hours from fully charged even without playing trials or other games. So I need a new one. Not mainly for trials, but I still want it to play it nicely.

    Any suggestions? Not just a model, but with comments that which might have less issues than the others.
    One of these I had in my shopping list.
    - Galaxy S6
    - Galaxy S6 Edge
    - OnePlus 3
    - Honor 7 Premium
    - Sony Xperia Z5

    I'll go for S7 (edge?) at the end of the year.
    I have doubts about Sony, 'couse TF could never be installed on xperia (2012 year, android 4.1).

    have a look at Samsung note series.
    it is a powerhouse,if you can wait for couple of months for the new note which will be out in august or early september or will get a good discount on current one.��

    S7 and S7 edge are a bit expensive for my taste for "just a phone".
    But maybe if I'd wait until end of year also the prizes could be lower.
    but the size is a factor for me.. 5.5. I think I'm dumping oneplus 3 for that reason also.

    Ok, so Sony might be bad, thanks for the tip.

    I'm not familiar with note series.. they are almost small tablet sized.

    Hi mate.
    I'll give my vote for the Oneplus 3.
    I have the 1+ One for the moment and i will normally buy the 3 in august.
    Trials was running perfectly with the one and with all the tests i've read about the third it will run even better on it.
    It is as good as the S7 and the price is very attractive.
    Can't wait to get mine.!

    Oneplus 3 attracts me also, but I like to keep the phone in my front pockets.. and the 5.5 feels a bit big...

    Yes i understand exactly.
    Like you i also had a S4 mini before my Oneplus1 and the size was what bothered me most before buying it (for my pocket and for playing trials too)
    Now that i'm used to, it i think 5'5 is great for gaming and i also got used to in the pocket.
    And i don't know how to explain well in english but the ratio screen size/phone size is reduced with the Op3 so it will be even better for me when i'll go with the 3.

    I wouldn't rule out the Sony so soon. My friend is playing on an older Xperia tablet (Android 5.1). He has never had serious problems with the game (only the particle stuff on Sunset Dungeon, but that's bearable)

    My boss had very different problems with a OnePlus (One). It would destroy the SIM cards his provider (German Telekom) issued.

    (I'm quite happy with my HTC One, although it does get a bit warm, but then I play only for a couple of minutes at a time)

    day 1 player and have been playing on a sony xperia Z2 smartphone from the start.

    In my experience i have had less issues with the game in comparison to everybody complaining on the forum (talking about game issues, not event related madness since i grinded out every single thing lol).
    my phone only gets really hot when playing TF while loading the battery, never had such an issue without.
    Never had much of a problem with the stutter issues, which has actually gotten worse since the 4.2.1 update (haven't got time yet to try out 4.2.2 much so might be solved now)

    forgot to mention: for me its a no brainer....next phone will be sony....no discussion
