Will be note 5, as it's screen is big. You can read up online articles/go youtube to watch comparison videos.
Windows lumia phones in future might overtake everything as they are coming out their phones with continuum feature that can simply connect your phone to a monitor to turn it into a pc, same goes to their tablets. People may start coming out phone OS simulators either to test out apps and have best of both worlds with a single phone just like virtual OS on our pc.

Agree with you on the Note 5. Read many reviews and all good. Basically the Note series has been outstanding. I know a couple of people still using their Note 3 and hesitant to change.
Lumia phones i'm not sure many people will take to because the operating system is Windows. Nothing wrong with that but you have to agree that the IOS and Android systems rules for now.

Based on my past experience with Samsung's S series phones, I can say do not buy their S6. I had tried their S2 to S5. In the beginning when the phone is still new, the performance is considered smooth but as time goes by, practically in less than 6 mths, it starts to lag and all sorts of problems will start to surface. Just to quote a few examples I faced. Camera unable to focus, photos captured with white noises, slow start up for apps, screen blackout occasionally and was unable to turn it back on until the battery is removed and put it back again and battery drains fast. However, I am now using Note4. It is fine for me. I give it a thumbs up. Hence, if you have a high budget, then you can opt for Note5. The Note series are more reliable than S series.
If budget is low, perhaps you can go for Oppo R7 Plus. Big screen, ultra fast charge and long battery life. As for LG G4, it is really an incredible phone but the battery drains really fast. If normal use such as messages and phonecalls, then 1 whole day should be fine but nowadays, we play games, surf the net, listen musics and watch videos with our phone so the battery will deplete very fast because G4's screen is super hungry for power.

Brother TS are you ready for the swap? I mean ios and android the difference is really huge. If you were an iPhone user all your life please do some reading first.
Android allows you to have more say in your handphone. If you are the average abc user, I think most android phones would suit you. It's really user friendly. Erm, I think screen size and battery consumption is what your looking more about.

Android system is much easier to jailbreak. More options to modify. Plus more user friendly. Something goes wrong and less complicated to rectify

Bro,
had been using my loyal Samsung Galaxy.
Just remember to protect with pins-numbers and paswords.
my screen/log-in are double protected.
Always remember to log off, clear caches and history.
do not, repeat, do not save "remember" passwords.
hope this helps.
Cheers!

Use a private browser.
If your are using android try to use apk files. Install when u need to use and uninstall when u dont . You can hide the apk anywhere u want. . Dun use play store.
Try not to use lots of passwords or pins to hide info. Will arise your partners suspicions more. Let her have access to the phone. But she cant find any suspicious activity on you hp cause all are hidden somewhere.

Why nokia 6700? As far as I notice only hookers use this kinda phone, as the phones are given by the okt. :confused:
or buy 2 phone
Get ready to be questioned when gf/wife finds out you have two phones. One phone is normal, the other one is full of contacts and photos of the hookers. :(

In fact, the more you protect the more suspecious it is. But clearing browsing history is a must, cache would be a little too much unless I got a gf working for fbi/cia. Lol...

I am wondering, instead of a private browser, would it be cool if we can have dwi-os installed on the phone. Like pc, we can install windows and linux on the same machine. For the phone, we might have one os for daily use, the other os for whoring use. :D

Specs wise, China phones can be up there among the best of Samsungs, HTC etc. Eg. the Xiomi Note pro come with 4gb ram & huge removeable battery compared to the s6 3gb ram and not inter changeable batt. Based on some of those facts they are value for money but still i am not sure about their durability in the wear & tear of daily use over one or two years.
