High End Smartphone with a IR Blaster

[KaiserPhantasma]

Anyone know the "last high end" smartphone with a IR blaster? was looking at an S6 but remembered it was the bad of its batch at that year...

anyone know any alternatives? brand doesn't matter but what matters is

-IR blaster
-nice screen tech(amoled or its equivalents)
-adequate screen size (I consider the galaxy S5 as "adequately sized" for me)

any feedback would be appreciated as GSM arena doesn't list phones that are IR blaster capable and would've shortened my search

If you can, an S5 (waterproof and replaceable battery) is my recommendation. I have one and it definitely has an IR blaster.

thank you for the reply but I am currently looking for an "upgrade" in terms specs too but yeah S5 is a sweet thing... love using it at may pa's place since I don't have to find the remote and just directly use my phone =D

I haven't replaced my S5 because none of the newer phones are an upgrade to me. They have all sacrificed features for thinness. Thinness isn't a positive to me it is a negative.

well damn been looking at the spec sheets for quite a while now and it all still points to the S6 being as its the last high end phone with an IR blaster 🙁 I dunno if you can see the comparison though

all phones being the "high ends" of the year 2015
