It seems like the exynos version is vastly superior in terms of battery life at least from Ars testing

^ They look pretty equal to me
A phone maker needs to make a head-fi oriented phone. It's an unrealized market!

Now that the bootloader is locked anyway it may be time to consider swapping to Exynos for the better DAC...
I thought about flipping these too but it will be difficult.
The problem is that you're still making payments on them so how can you convince anyone to buy these when the device is not paid off yet.
And I wouldn't want to pay these off until I get my prepaid card so......
I bought a Note 4 for $280 just a week ago and I hesitated in getting mine but for $455-Netflix-VR gear is too great to pass up. I got a friend of mine to go in with me. Guess I will return the Note 4.
A current-gen processor with that screen will have crazy battery and effective GPU.I've seen some rumors about an S7 mini which looks like a direct competitor to the Sony compacts (and other small phones)- 4.6", SD 820 (or exynos 8890), 3GB ram, 720p.
It would cost a thousand dollars more because they would go the Monster Cable route to try and lure in audiophools, I mean audiophiles. You know, the guys who buy $10,000/ft power cables.

Lost me at 720p, my 2011 galaxy nexus had that screen res.
Eh. I can pay the phone in full if I have to.
Of course you can but you do risk losing a $780 prepaid debit card before paying off the phone.
Lets say you get the phones and flip them. When they look at the rebate submission and they don't see the EIP plan, do they not send you the rebate ??
So in order to flip the phones, you need to wait at least 6-8 weeks to get the prepaid debit card before paying off the phones and selling them.
I didn't understand the terms that way. I mean what can they say? "I'm financially stable and would like to pay off my phone so I don't have payments."
The BOGO states that both phones must be under the EIP to get the rebate, but do what you want... shrugs.

If my phone is under EIP, is it locked to using only SIMs on my account?
You can use any sim you want as long as it's T-mobile, MetroPCS Ultra etc.. pretty much T-mobile or their MVNO.
It's not tied specifically to your account, but your EIP would be.
Isn't that the same thing. Under EIP you can't resell it. Trying to activate the IMEI on another carrier would get flagged me thinks?
You can't use it on any carrier out of T-mobile or T-mobile MVNO since the phones are network locked.
I've seen people sell EIP phones all the time including EBAY and Swappa. And it's really shitty since people who purchase these not knowing or knowingly purchase and get screwed at the end when the seller does not pay the EIP.
That's why you hear horror stories of people saying they bought the phone but it got blacklisted. Sellers are either not paying and keeping the money for themselves or committing insurance fraud.
Yeap that's what I meant not just carrier but the IMEI is flagged if under EIP. I've seen S7's for sale already and you have to wonder sometimes. You know that's still under EIP as the rebates have not been issued yet. Who'd want to risk, but I guess the fact is many actually do or don't care.
I put mine up for sale.
I paid off the EIP I dont think it matters whether it's paid off or not as long as you did the agreement in regards to the rebate.
