Switching from iPhone, I must say that the Samsung Edge is way beyond the iPhone. But the problem is that with the longer the ownership, the expectations rise really quickly. So my main issue is the responsiveness of the edge screen and the features for it, part of me now wants the standard S6, but we will see what the edge will have later on.
a few months ago i lost my Nexus 5 phone, well it stopped working. I didnt like the Nexus 6 because it is too big. I passed up on the Note 4 for the same reason. I looked at the Galaxy S5, but like many others I felt that the phone could be alot better. Sprint's version came with a meager 16gb of storage which was reason enough for me to skip it. Fast forward to now, i eagerly pre ordered the Galaxy S6 as soon as I could. I can safely say that this will be my daily driver as long as it is working and in my hands. The QHD screen is beautiful, great for media consumption. The camera takes very sharp photos, better than my pocket point and shoot. The 4k video, although it has some "jelly" effects if you move too much, is great. Especially in great lighting. Best camera I've ever had on a phone. I had a iPhone 6 while I waited for the Galaxy S6 and the build quality of the S6 rivals the iPhone 6. It feels very sturdy yet light. I put a case on it because the camera lens sticks out on the back too much. I saw a reviewer accidently break his camera lens on a very short fall. This version of touchwiz is almost perfect. it runs very snappy, almost no hiccups. Samsung finally also gives you the option to turn off the flipboard home screen. I never used it on my S tab, and it never really worked great for me on my tablet. i can't say enough about this phone, i really like it. My only complaints are that I shouldve bought a 64gb version lol, and it tends to overheat a bit on me. I think it's Sprint's fault on my end. The other day it go really hot on me while I was in a congested part of town between high rise buildings. It got so hot that it would not let me shoot video with the camera. I put the phone into airplane mode and it started cooling down. Maybe sprint or samsung can fix this with an update. Other than that, I can say that this is the best phone I've ever owned. I hope samsung can push Android updates quicker with this version of touchwiz.
Cons: over heats when you have poor cell reception

Phone is a little pricey, but worth it. The battery does recharge quickly but drains kind of rapidly as well. Comes with a lot of unnecessary apps that I had to manually uninstall. But overall gives great performance and looks & feels great as well.
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: battery life drains quickly

This my third galaxy series phone. I absolutely love this phone. It's comfortable to hold in your hand. Touch wiz is great on this phone. Samsung got rid of all the bloatware on this phone. The camera is excellent! I have converted many apple fans when I showed them all the things you can do with a Samsung phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color

I am impressed. My prior phone, a Motorola Droid RZR HD ( which was a very good phone)) could not handel a couple of apps that I need for work, the S6 has no problems with them. It has allowed me to unload or disable much of the bloatware that came with it and came with a great keyboard alternative "Fleksy" which you usually have to pay for. The screen resoulotion is awsome and a noticeable improvement over the great screen of the S5. I haven't expirenced any glitches with streaming or viewing videos. I haven't heard a phone yet with great sounding speakers, but the speakers in the S6 are better then most. Too bad they aren't front facing. I do miss the external memory card and wish that the phone had the dust and water resistant features of the S5. The battery charge life is fair at best, but when you consider the increased screen resolution and cpu speed and charge life is about the same or bettrr than most other phones- it's acceptable. I have read that upcoming software improvements could increase the battery charge life. I love the wireless charging and quick charge although you do have to pay extra for the wireless charging pad, unless you can take advantage of a special offer. I've had no problems with Bluetooth or WIFI. I gave "design" 4 stars because it looked too much like the I- phone, although this didn't bother me enough to pay the extra $100.00 for the Edge.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, fast processings speed
Cons: not as durable as s5 or my droid rzr
