Yeah under £300 from O2!

Just not sure with the S7 coming out so soon?

That on contract or PAYG?

That on contract or PAYG?

Contract technically but as long as you cancel it within the first 14 (?) days you just pay off the device part of the contract and you can cancel the airtime.

Details here.

Ah ok, thanks, its a refurb but still a good price considering their original cost!

Ah yes I should have mentioned that. One year warranty and "as good as new" though

FFS! I just updated to the beta firmware. Looks like the gear vr will be gathering dust until the main release as I CBA to downgrade back to lollipop.

Yeah just got and updated mine thanks

Really impressed with this build so far - much more responsive, nice UI changes, memory management seems better, and after a factory reset the standby battery drain seems lower than it ever was on 5.x. Seems reasonably stable, although I have had a few apps crash which never crashed before.

 

[ExRayTed]

How are people finding the battery life on the stock ROM?

 

[MrZippo]

Is it just me or does the display look washed out on the lock screen in the marshmallow beta???
Once it's unlocked and in the home screen it's fine

Bit misleading as you can't buy it sim free you have to take a contract out, cancel it, then pay it off in total.

 

[neoboy]

O2 unlock it for free, then just cancel straight away and only pay off the phone part. Done it before and works a treat.

Cheers for the heads up

Just ordered one for collection tomorrow,

It was between this and the N5X, but the prospect of cheap VR swung it in the S6's favour.

 

[Ixon]

Not sure if mine has a fault or not but the signal on my S6 is poor, I usually get good 4 bars 4G reception, but I'm hardly getting 4G usually just one bar if I'm lucky when it kicks in & H+ signal seem low aswell.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

S6 is known to have rather poor signal.

Contract technically but as long as you cancel it within the first 14 (?) days you just pay off the device part of the contract and you can cancel the airtime.

Details here.

As long as you've paid off your device plan you can cancel the airtime contract anytime.

 

[Quinnaay]

Never had an issue with my signal.. Look forward to the Marshmallow official release!
