Darth Awar I know size isn't that much an issue anyways, what I said was future support so that if you change phones with nano sim to nano sim is better then micro to nano. As far as size is, it doesn't make much a difference on any smartphone, maybe size is a factor on a cellular smart watch?

I always felt like the S5, even though it's freaking ugly, wins for me. Because it's waterproof so I don't have to worry about it getting wet, it has SD expansion which I don't have to worry abut saving space, and it has a longer lasting battery. Those factors sadly makes it look like I should get an S5, but I want the S6 :(

I don't understand why people care so much about design. I mean, when I buy a phone I don't buy it because it's fucking pretty, I buy it because of the specs, because of the features, because of what it can do. The S5 is a very good phone, I had my 4G+ version for a month now and I coudn't be more satisfied. Oh and In my humble opinion If you already have a S5 don't go for the S6, it looses a lot of features and It's not worth the upgrade.

Both are available on Boost Mobile which I have and I have the Samsung Prevail LTE and its like an mini S5, so what does that tell you about the phone that I prefer, If it doesn't have a removable battery and SD card slot support, I'll pass. IP67 certified I don't care about because I have have it near a toilet or puddle anyway even though with the S5, the feature is there just in case and for most, just in case, its a good feature to have. At least I can put stuff to an SD card to save space and swap out a battery when it doesn't hold a charge anymore and keep the phone until it breaks or I change carriers and forced to change phones anyway.

I'm not highly in favor of any one manufacturer or OS over another but part of this proves a point that annoys me with almost all but Apple; even though you could argue iPhones might not have as many features to begin with, Apple never takes any steps backwards: even if only slightly, it's always perfected or improved in some way, but with Samsung (removal of expandable storage, removable battery, water/dust resistance etc.) and HTC (camera particularly: they're just jumping everywhere with the 2 sensors in the M8 then removing that and drastically changing megapixel count with no improvements or worse optics). It's annoying because people will like/need some of those features for them to just be removed instead of improved next generation and it just seems stupid to me.

Maybe Samsung takes what users like and dislike and create a much better device. I don't take many pictures, so 32GB is plenty of storage. The main issue would be the battery life, in my opinion. The S5 being water/dust proof is an advantage, but then again, I am pretty good with taking care of my things.

Many S6 UI from new touchwiz is not avaliable on GS5 even when your S5 is already on Lollipop. Such as the new Homescreen UI which looks more beautiful on S6, S5 keeps the old UI which you can find on kitkat Next is the samsung music player app which incredibly looks nice in S6, you also cant find that on S5. S5 lollipop uses the old music app which you can found on old Kitkat. Which means all the basic software on your S5 will not be the same with S6. Flatten widget, and all of that fancy new widget from S6 will not available on S5 because again S5 still using old widget from KitKat What you get on S5 lollipop is : -The same notification panel with S6 which is very nice -The same recent app style which is card stack kinda looks And maybe that's all you get

Removing the S6's sd card slot and the removable battery is sort of a negative, cause I reckon it would be cheaper to buy a S5 and a good size sd card at this point in time than to buy the S6, and besides that my S5 can play the most newest games such as modern combat 5 and real racing 6 with ease and no lag, and the camera also is still better than most phone cameras and takes really good photos, so I really have no reason to upgrade at this time.
