So my upgrade is due Monday TM told me.

But not sure what to go for.

Currently have the note 4 which is great but just to big :/

S7 edge is quite expensive per month and the lg g5 is the SE model (i know its quite identical to the g5 )

My problem is TM does not have the biggest selection.

So it seems to be down to the G5 SE or the s7 edge.(s7 is r50 pm cheaper so yeah)If they stocked the htc 10 i would wait but that's not gonna happen.

Which would you pick and why

Thanks

The G5 doesn't seem that good.

Are those your only options?

honestly the best phone on the market right now is the one plus one 3, second place is the HTC 10 and third place is the S7.

the rest does not matter, there is nothing wrong with the S7, and based on your options I would say go for that.

I have an LG G4 and I am a firm believer it was the better phone than the S6, but unfortunately the G5 did not live up to the same standard.

given those options I would pic the S7 (not the edge as I am not a fan of it personally)

Actually it's in this order for mid-range priced phones:
1) OnePlus 3 (Best fingerprint scanner, Unlocked bootloader for rooting, Best OS (OxygenOS), Customized hardware buttons, Dash charge, Good camera, notification slider, Zero lag)
2) ZTE Axon 7 (Good viewing angles, QHD display, micro-sd slot, USB v3.0 type C port, Improved battery capacity)
3) Alcatel Idol 4s (Good speakers-front and back, Good headphones (JBL), accessories, glass back, Flash for front camera, micro-sd card slot)

Sorry, forgot how big the Mate 8 actually was. Then you have to choose between the three that I mentioned on top.

none of those are options on TM I believe.
and we can all agree the 1+13 is the best phone out there but it does not help those of us on contract.
the other 2 I have not seen any review of yet, where the HTC made its way into the more strick reviews sites. LinuxtechTips did a very good review on it and they do not normally bother with HTC.

the unfortunate truth is with what TM offers, the OP can only really pick the S7.
and that is not really a bad choice
