Who's getting a new phone in 2016?
-
I got a MotoE (Gen2) in September. Decent little phone, the build quality is superb even though it was designed to be a budget device.
-
Unlikely for me. Got my current one in the very late summer. So likely a new phone for me will be very early in 2017. Need to update while I am in the States to make things easy with TMobile so maybe Christmas 2016 at the earliest.

Have HTC M8 and was planning to get a Lumia 950XL. My boss got one, serious battery and performance issues, they replaced with a second phone, same issue and since he has good contacts with the guys in MS UAE, he got a 3rd replacement for free. So yeah, plan changed. sticking with M8 for now!
-
I have a bad feeling the battery in my Nexus5 is starting the downward spiral. Sad to me because it's a very good phone. Wonder how hard it is to replace the battery... gotta go search ifixit.

Might get one,.. most likely be the Apple model since we have had a Apple since the 3gs.. and since we still have the full AT&T unlimited plan (though it went up).. likely to stay there too.
-
I would not be surprised to learn that Apple had an iPhone Mini in the works.

There were rumors of a smaller 6C, but I haven't seen confirmation. I might eventually have to bit the bullet and go up to the 6. But for now I'm holding onto my 5S.
-
My 5S is new, so I'll be on that for a long time.
-
I love my 6sPlus. I won't be going back to a smaller phone unless forced.

I was on the AT&T unlimited for a while too. Had a work discount and was paying $105/month for a phone and tablet with 450 minutes. My data usage was only 2.5GB max on 1 month in 2014. Switched to the mobile share plan. Unlimited minutes, text, and messaging. Did the 4GB plan but support gave me 6GB for $5 less for being a "loyal customer". Also has rollover data so I usually have 10-12GB per month. Only paying $75 total now. Might be worth looking into if you don't have high data use like me.

I think we'll be buying the first phone for one of our children, the 11 year old.
Almost definitely an iPhone 6.

I'll look into that.
thanks. -
Got an iphone 6s on the release date, most likely will be 2017 before I get another one.
-
waiting on iphone 7
-
I am on a new every year plan. So I will probably get whatever is new next fall.
-
I'm debating what I want to get.
Currently have a 640 XL - and other than missing a few apps, I'm pretty happy with it - though i want Windows 10 on it already!Debating on a 950 XL or jumping back to an Android - though I have no idea which one. The Galaxy S4 was pretty good for the first year I had it, but the second year was pretty horrible, battery wouldn't last a full day, speed was slow, just not pleasant.

I have the Note 4 (Verizon) and am on 5.0. I would love to move to 5.1 and was thinking of the Note 5 prior to its release until it was confirmed it was a sealed back with no SD card slot. I wonder if enough other people care about this anymore or this will be the trend. Those are two reasons I don't like the iPhone (there are many others).
So it boils down to what the Note 6 will be like or if there are any other great phones with similar features and better specs coming out this year.
-
Is there rumor that the Note 5 will have an SD slot? I just can't see Samsung moving away from the sealed unit.
-
I'm interested in a new iPhone. I have the 6.. Not quite interested in updating to the 6S yet though. I do like that Hey Siri can always be on on the 6S but It's not worth the difference in price right now (I'd be buying used though.).
