Which cell phone to get? (iPhone 6s 16GB vs Galaxy S6 32GB)

Silence

Has bad taste
Need to choose a cell phone for work and I'm honestly not well versed on any of these phones. I currently carry a Nexus 6 which I've enjoyed and the missus is quite happy to inherit.

iPhone 6s (IOS) (16GB) Space Gray
iPhone 6s Plus (IOS) (16GB) Space Gray
Samsung Galaxy S6 (32GB) (Android) Black
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + (32GB) (Android)Black

Just based on the capacity being offered, I'm thinking it comes down to the S6's... so it'd be a regular vs Edge+ issue. The Edge+ has more real estate decent battery life and charges quickly but will the gimmicky curve just end up annoying the bejeezus out of me? Or will the curved edge make it more prone to damage despite being in a case? Or does the iPhone 6s have some magical redeeming quality that would offset the storage difference?

new phone was just on my mind. I've been fine with my Lumia 521, but the call quality has deteriorated to the point where my clients and I are yelling at each other before the job even starts...
my $.02 goes with the Galaxy and beyond...

Yup :dunno

I think they're trying to limit the number of types of devices they have to support.

Thumbs down for the 16GB model but I still vote iphone. I switched from a GS6 to an iphone 6S+ and am happy.

My GS6 back glass cracked for no reason, the fingerprint sensor stopped working after 3 months and then something internal took a dump and Samsung had to warranty replace basically every electronic component inside. And the battery life was horrid.

Music and photos take up most of the space. My last phone was a 32gb and I was constantly running out of space, having to move my photos to my PC on a monthly basis. Now I have a 64gb so I have more room to work with. My text messages also take up a bunch of space, almost 5gb, I guess I should probably clean that up.

Wtf do you guys put on your phone's where you need that kind of storage?

I have a 16GB S5 and all of my photos/videos are on an sd card. I still use up a considerable amount of the phone's 16GB for just apps (bookface, google photos, etc). I have very few games. A recent OS update (5.0.0 to 5.1.1) required 6.5GB to apply the update. I had to uninstall a crapload of apps for the update to apply. What a PITA.

16gb not exciting but I would go 6s plus. I currently have the 6 plus. If note 5 was an option, I'd recommend that.

Since it's a work phone, I would think the 6s is more practical as opposed to the "plus" if you're going to take the iPhone route. Just doesn't make sense to carry a large phone if it's just your work phone since it takes up a lot of room.

Get the Note 5 over the S6 Edge Plus. The S Pen is more functional than the edge screen IMO. Same everything else and cheaper too.

I just got a Samsung S6. I like it. 32gb. I don't see ever having to need more memory, i don't keep music on it, and take maybe 10 pictures per month. I haven't found anything I don't like about it. Yet.
