I would first like to state that I was a rather low tech man living in a high tech world. I never could comprehend conversations my close friends were having about advanced function their cell phones were capable of.
I bought the Samsung Galaxy S6+ Active on 8/21/2015. First off, the lease agreement gave me an affordable payment per month with nothing down. After I registered my phone on Samsung APP, I began exploring the recommended apps which amazingly were extremely simple to activate. When I had any misunderstanding, I was easily guided by the help section. You can also receive 1 on 1 online help that takes just a few clicks to activate or use any functions you may be confused about.
The keyboard is super simple to use and were big enough to accommodate my unexperienced skills so I could breeze through. You can purchase several different samsung accessories for your home to turn it into an easily controlled smart home thats very easily controlled by your Galaxy S6 phone. It even has a TV remote app that almost installs on its own which is light years ahead of your average TV and Cable/Satellite Remote.
The battery will last an extremely long time so no more charging several times per day. I am so glad I bought this phone. I want to leave some surprises for you to discover on your own, but I have one last thing I feel I must fill you in on.
I dont know if any of you out there are exercise buffs or may have let yourself go to where you dont feel as healthy as you maybe once were mos or years ago. I was the later. I was a gym rat, and due to an unforgiving accident I let myself decline though inactivity and diet even after my recovery.
The S6 includes a fitness app with extremely advanced capabilities such as monitoring your cardiac rate, H20 intake, and fitness level. You can set it with small goals till you work up to increasing your intensity levels. This along with a heathly eating guide I agreed to receive suggestions from had a profound effect on me returning from almost a point of no return. I know you've all probably heard similar stories that are just a tool with no more ability than to attract peoples interest.
I stated this helped me in an extremely short period of time return from a point where I was in need of serious help. Well, I don't like to broadcast my hardships to anyone, but that accident I mentioned resulting in me having my left leg pulverized to an unrepairable state. Once I got adjusted to life without one of my limbs, I became complacent with an inactive lifestyle. I felt weak and fatigued most of the time for no apparent reason. I knew what I needed to do and yearned for returning to my old self, but my attempts were futile.
Without thinking it would benefit me, I signed into the fitness application, and filled out the info about myself. It tracked my daily progress and showed me how I was reaching and maintaining my desired goals and fitness level. Theres much more to this also along with a tall list of sensors and utilities you can incorperate into this, but without nothing more than that APP and myself, I slowly began getting out and active. I think because we are so close to our phones, and how it lets you know weather you were productive each day, I hadnt realized why in just the first week why I felt so amazing. I know this would help you, if it worked so well on me.
I'm still learning new things about this incredible technology available to us all. Check it out at Samsung Online. I wanted to provide a perspective from a regular blue collar American. I have no doubt this will help the ones reading right now who can relate to having struggles in there lives. Don't think of your life being easier or harder. Lets just say we all have hardships, and there are tools available that will put you back in the drivers seat. Good luck to you all...
Samsung has never let me down. You wont regret your purchase, just as I haven't. Enjoy Your new discovery!
I love this phone its a light phone there is nothing bulky about it this phone takes the best photos and video. Audio is excellent on videos. Has an excellent battery life for me i watch my favorite shows and videos and i do not find myself charging it so soon while watching but i also set my phone to where the battery can be saved longer so its great for me. I have always had a samsung phone they all last for years but this phone is by far the best i've had from them yet.
When it comes to computers and gadgets and Apps people would say that I am dumb or its very hard to understand how they work and what is what. Well I can proudly say that with my Samsung Galaxy S6 its very easy to use. Samsung made the apps easy to understand and download and how each apps works. It easy to get on the Internet and all of the Social Sites ( Facebook and Twitter and Instagram ). Its easy to access maps and GPS ( and to understand the navigation ). If easy to type what I want and it corrects my mistakes for me so I want be embarrassed when I send it. Love the ring volume because I am kind of hard of hearing. If I don't want to type all I have to do is click on the microphone and just talk into it and it will type what I say. I love everything about my S6 phone. I would so recommend Samsung Galaxy S6 to anyone. I had a I Phone 5 at one time thinking they was better but I can honestly say that I will always from now on will never use another phone.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, easy to use and understand
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had this phone for a few months now and overall I've had a good experience. I have had a few issues though. First, the camera stabilizer seems to be broken (this appears to be a pretty common problem). I've never bothered to take it in to get it checked -- mostly because it doesn't bother me that much -- but it can get annoying, especially if you use the camera a lot. Second, the double-click home to access the camera can be overly sensitive at times. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to close an app only to be staring at my face because the camera opened up. This feature can be turned off, but sometimes I do need to access my camera quickly so I leave it on, the registration of clicks just seems too sensitive at times. I have had some issues with apps closing unexpectedly and odd program behavior after restart, but I believe those are issues with Android more than the device itself. Again, overall this device has served me well, there are just a few small things that bug me occasionally.
I have owned about 10 different smart phones over the past several years and as the neighborhood geek I have helped people with their smart phones and I rate the Galaxy S6 the best phone I have seen and used. It's a great phone, that's important. But the wifi, NFC, apps and every feature just seem to work and work fast. Split screen, multi-tasking, surfing the net are great. And it has a top notch camera!
