I wonder if you might fill out this form, saying what is important to you when you're deciding on a new device -

I did this two years ago, but never got round to doing anything with the information (like make a video about it). I'm thinking I'll try again!

Happy to share 2014 results for anyone interested. I use forms a reasonable bit, but what is the best way to display results? Can't tell if it's just me that sees them?

Done, though there was no mention of specific OS beforehand (unless i missed it) but one question is specific to Android.
 
Completed. Although there are some options I value more than suggested.

I've used wireless charging and fast charging, I much prefer fast charging via USB Type-C.

Dual sim support is also important to me, willing to sacrifice something like an sd slot for this.

Suppose you could also add in Finger print sensors - front/rear?
 
Submitted.

Edit: same as above, fast charge USB C and dual sim was my prerequisite when I looked for my last phone.
 
site is blocked by work ): but will fill in when I get home (I seem to recall doing the original 2 years ago also)

Personally always thought SD card was (way) more important than dual sim , fast charging, OS is important, but willing to try something new / significant update if required (went from Android to OS9 /X last tme and heading back to Android after getting ****** off with Vodafone and Apple hahaha)
 
Oddly enough dual front facing speakers have become important to me. When upgrading from the HTC M7 to the OP2, it annoyed me that the sound wasn't directed at me. Moved to the 6P and I'm enjoying my videos and games again.
 
Completed.

I must note that one of the first things I look for in a phone nowadays is the screen to bezel ratio. I feel it has to be over 75% or go home.
 
Done. Apparently I'm the only person who selected "has to be cheap" :p

I break my phones left and right, and I've never spent more than £150 on one for that reason. In fact I've only ever bought one Smartphone new... (the £150 one)
