Lol Piesang, we could nitpick and counter-quote reviews all day. I'm not interested in that, and the phone is a lot more than just its camera.

Another area the S6 is better than the G4 is its front-facing selfie camera has a wider field of view, and in video mode its slow-mo can be selected where to stop and end mid-video (G4 slow-mo runs continuously).

It'd be a tough pick, and I stand by my bottom line: the S6 is likely to be the better camera for people who want to enjoy simple photography.

In Auto mode the G4's HDR is less effective than the S6's, resulting in more highlight clipping.

To me, that's a big deal.

That's exactly what this is. Personal opinion and preference.

You prefer HDR, I prefer excellent manual settings.
You prefer small screen, I prefer big screen
You prefer no memory card slot, I prefer one
You prefer no removable battery, I prefer one

Etc...

If you call the S6's screen 'small', you need to stop wearing cargo pants :p Enjoy your choice though man, I hope you get many years of battery-swopping fun out of it.

Foxhound is on a fanboi crusade
Must have used iphones in a previous life.
Yip, I like pulling the fanboys' legs. They can get so "fanboyish". Lol. Is there such a word? Well, there is now.

Piesang, I'm not a 'fanboi', but I did choose the S6 for some very specific technical reasons. The G4 is not a better phone than the S6 when viewed as a total package ... as any online review will tell you.

Is the G4 a good phone? *shrugs* That's all relative, innit? But you're the fanboi for claiming that its lower pricepoint and a couple software tricks make it a better phone.

Whatever makes you happy.

Looking for a nice cover. What do you guys have?
I'm using the Bumper Cover that came with my phone since today when I fitted the plastic back cover. But when I use the leather cover I'm not using anything.

Hi Piesang, where did you get the bumper cover from? Did you order from Amazon?

Jeez, I go away for one weekend and Piesang and Foxhound starts arguing with themselves... jirre, really confusing when both have the same avatar :D

I've had both phones... so maybe I should be the one judging which one is "better".

I must say, that was quite exhausting. But I enjoyed it until he started opening up to me and telling me what she said about his manhood. I had to draw the line there.

It came with the phone. The MTN package contains a extra back cover, 32GB Micro SD and the bumper cover .

Yeah, mine also came with a back cover, but it's definitely not the bumper shield cover, it's a normal plastic silver cover.
