I have a Note 5 in addition to the iPhone 6s Plus and boy is this ever true. I'm expecting that carrier branded devices probably won't get the update until mid-2016. It is such an incredible PITA. Moreover, the Samsung apps suck but because they're embedded so deep into the UI/UX of the device, you can't really get away from them completely without rooting. If you root then you break Samsung KNOX (burn the KNOX bit) and void your warranty. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.As someone who's spent way too much much than ill ever admit in buying and selling android phones as they come out, I would skip it as an iOS person. Touchwiz is they only shortcoming, but its awful. Its slow, unintuitive and severely drags update times on Samsung Devices. Samsung literally just started rolling out Marshmallow to S6 / Note 5 devices to SOME markets (not carrier branded markets at all in the US) and Marshmallow came out as a preview for nexus users (think iOS public beta) back in the summer of 2015 and officially at the end of September. If you're really interested in checking out an android device coming from an iphone, at least wait and see what the HTC m10 is going to be.

have not even seen what it looks like
I think that come September if apple doesn't wow me with the iPhone 7 I'm gonna go back to android with the s7 or note 6 (if I don't feel like keeping my 6 plus). Most likely they will produce something worth getting as usual so the chances of this happening is small. If I did leave, I would definitely miss the synergy all of my ios devices have.
I agree with this 100%.. Apple needs to step up with the 7.. Things I want on the 7, better low light camera, wireless charging, Reduce the bezel size (Note 5 has 5.7 screen on a smaller body) and lastly a better screen something close to the samsung screens
