Phones Galaxy Note 5 = Longest phone I've stuck with

[Tig Bitties]

T-Mobile finally released the Marshmallow update, I am running an extreme debloated ROM, with like zero Samsung apps, and can cherry pick any specific Touchwiz apps I do want installed. This ROM also allows AOSP GAPPS some stock Google apps to work, like the Dialer + Contacts I am running are the exact same as on the Nexus, no Touchwiz phone app, which is really cool. I also run Google Messenger for texts, Google Calendar, Google Clock, plus some Samsung Touchwiz apps I prefer.

Anyways, with MM on the Note 5, the phone just feels smoother and more fluid than before. Just a very fast and snappy phone. I thought it was fast before on Lollipop, but the little tiny lags or little hiccups from LP are totally gone, it is SUPER SMOOTH now.

Gotta say I am very impressed, and the way I have it setup is more like a Nexus-Note 5 now.

Very interested in the Note 6 is supposed to borrow a lot of S7 Edge specs;

- Micro SD card
- Waterproof
- Massive battery size ( At least 3,600mAh )
- Bit larger screen ( 5.8" )
- 6GB RAM

My biggest concern, will the U.S. version get the SD823 meaning no root + ROM's, only the Exynos versions get development. I'd rather the U.S. get the upcoming super beast Exynos version.

I'm really hoping they release the N6 with Android N, but I realize the chances for this are miniscule. Then I wouldn't be worried so much about updating it 6 months later with AT&T despicable update schedule.

If the Note 6 comes out in July, most likely just shipping with Marshmallow. And Android-N releases on Nexus devices in Sept / Oct. Will wait forever for Samsung to update their phones to N, most likely 7 or 8 months.

I plan to get the 5.5" HTC Nexus-N instead.
