I know, I have an S6 myself, got it a few months ago. And yea, no SD card isn't a big deal. I have the 32gb model and consistently have 10gb free, even after all my music and apps. I just offload the camera once a week. Battery life, yea it sucks, but the fast charger is so damn fast that it doesn't bother me. I could come home, plug it in while I take a shit, and take it off with 40% more battery after barely 15 minutes. And yea, the G5 is absolute garbage in comparison. Extremely buggy phone and there's a massive chance you'll get the unfix-able permanent boot loop that's caused by hardware degradation.

Not really. He should actually get the S7 Edge (exynos) as it's overpowered for 2016. He should get in 3 years the S7 Edge. Keep in mind that except for the 2016 S7 (edge) Exynos there was no phone that could even come remotely close to it's performance. Even in 2017 except for the Exynos Galaxy S8, OnePlus 5 and the Huaweai Mate 9 there are ZERO phones that get close to it's performance (iPhone's stand no chance at daily applications against the S7 Edge). I expect in the next year that the highest-end phones finally will have caught up with the performance of the S7 Edge...but that still leaves the camera. The S7 Edge STILL has a camera that far outperforms EVERY smartphone as a whole package (except for the Galaxy S8). This means that the S7 Edge will probably get equals AFTER 2 YEAR OF IT'S RELEASE. Think for a second about it's display. What smartphone except for the Galaxy S8-series comes even remotely close to the display quality of the S7 Edge? There is NONE. Nothing gets even remotely close to it's display brightness, clarity and outdoor visibility. The S7 Edge goes up to ~1150 Nits. The BEST LCD-smartphone, the iPhone 7 Plus ONLY goes up to ~600Nits. For an LCD that's amazing but as all reviewers say, it simply doesn't compare against the current OLED-equipped Samsung smartphones.

I actually have an S4 Mini with a custom 7.1 ROM. (It's not as nice as the full S4, but it's the best 4.3" phone I could find for Verizon) If you're willing to use custom ROMs, I'd say the S4 actually could come out on top for support over the Blu Life Max, just because it's more likely that the community will continue supporting it. Plus custom ROMs tend to be very much stock-like. Of course, if you want to stick with official firmware, then yes, I'd have to opt for the Blu Life Max, because Nougat is so nice!

No, his question was if the best smartphone that you can get for $100 is the 2013 Samsung S4. Since you can get other $100 phones that was made in 2017, but they might not be as good.

Yo Austin, I really like you showcasing these old Flagship devices BUT I really dont approve you not even mentioning LineageOS (successor of CyanogenMod). Take basically any flagship phone of the last couple years and throw LOS on it (also especially the flagships are usually supported for along time compared to random noname phones) Boom enjoy the lastest and unbloated Android 7.1.2 which works perfectly fine
@GreyHunter49
@GreyHunter49 7 жыл бұрын
Especially if you are one of the people who dont need gaming performance etc because of the little bit dated CPUs, this really is the way to go if you are on a budget and you need a solid daily driver. CPU power of the old flagships is more than enough for browsing, social media etc

Or you could get the 2016 LG G5 for $95... why does no one know about this phone now? It's competitor, the Galaxy S7 Edge 2016 is like $250, which is wayyy cheaper than the IPhone 6s or 7 (which competed with both these phones), but even this looks expensive to the now dirt cheap G5. So you can get an LG G5 2.5x cheaper than the already cheap Galaxy S7 Edge (cheap compared to Apple's competition), with the same internals and resolution. And yes, I already liked my own comment. ;)
