That's good to hear. This thing looks really sharp. I'm going to have to order one.

I actually like the build of Samsung phones, just don't care for Touchwiz. Thankfully most of it is gone by using the Google keyboard, apps, and Now launcher.
I've had an S3 and now an S5 and I've liked the build quality and the features of both phones. I've played around with my friends Nexus' (Nexi?) and I will give you default android is a bit nicer, but I don't hate touchwiz.
I dunno, man. They just feel very cheap to me. I despise the features. TouchWiz, design and UI-wise, seems like it was put together by someone who'd only seen pictures of iOS, and had to guess how it functioned.
I switched to Nova Launcher very soon after buying my S4, but that made things only slightly better.

I'm inclined to agree. I had an S2 and I have and S4 and I think I'm done with Samsung. I run Google Edition firmware, so that solves that problem, but it's still a flimsy, plasticky phone. Dogshit reception compared to other phones too. Like maybe every fourth call is crackly and I have to hang up and redial, and I get dropped calls all the time.
No more. I like where Moto has been going lately, so they'll provably get my next purchase. Waiting to see the Moto Nexus first.
No love for HTC's new interface on the One?

I've got a few VERY picky friends that hate these manufacturer overlays using these phones. They love it. The interface seems halfway between Android and Metro.
just a shame about the rampant mic problems in those phones
