I was a longtime friend of the iPhone. From 2010-2015, I went through 3 versions on the iPhone. I finally made the switch over to android with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and I couldn't be happier.
I was hesitant, but iPhone just wasn't progressing enough for me. Making it thinner and the screen bigger with the iPhone 6 wasn't enough change. I wanted something impressive and the Samsung Galaxy S6 delivered.
I was honestly a little nervous about making the adjustment but it really wasn't that hard. After a day or two, I was fluent in navigating about my Samgung.
There is so much more you can do with android! The customization, the widgets for my home screen, the Chromecast capabilities... I can finally qcast and play chromecast games with my android friends. "Ok Google" functions so much more smoothly than Siri. Plus, I don't have to worry about accidentally pressing the "Siri button" and embarrassing myself.
And the Galaxy S6 itself is amazing! The specs are so much better than the iPhone. The screen is spectacular and so crisp. The camera has everything I've ever wanted in a phone- I especially dig the selfie mode. The wireless charging has really made my long days easier. I can just set it on the pad right by my night stand. No searching for my cord in the dark.
Next step - getting a Samsung tablet to go with and ditching my old iPad.
The Galaxy 6S is a user friendly phone. The back button is my favorite feature. Not having to mess with Itunes is great, I simply plug in my phone to my laptop and drag and drop pictures, music, documents, whatever! The camera is very good. It is amazing that a phone can take pictures as good as this phone can. The panorama feature is cool. Cristal clear voice as well!
Pros: user friendly
Cons: expensive, the off button position
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone has exceed all my expectations. Favorite part is the camera
With the Samsung Galaxy S6, I was pleased to find that there were a lot of features on the phone for customizing and theme based design. I only wish on that topic that you could pick and choose what parts of certain themes to keep and others to alter. The performance is decent, I have yet to have to reboot the phone to make it go faster, and the access to programs and the ability to have a split screen for multiple apps is definitely a great addition to have as well. My two biggest pet peeves however are the lack of having a micro SD availability, as well as the less than impressive battery life that, even after the latest update, is still not winning any awards. I find it fun that the background moves in relation to how I move my cell phone, which gives a trippy 3D-esque feel to it. However I wouldn't mind being able to take that feature off just to ensure more battery life. My home (center) button can double as a bio-metric scanner which I love using as my security unlock for my phone. Though I do kind of hope that there might be a time when I can scan at least the thumb and index finger on both hands so I can use it more freely.
Cons: battery life too short, no micro sd availability
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product has been easy to use and setting up new and old favorite apps has been a snap. There are many preloaded apps available also. The size of the device is just right. Texting, emailing, messaging, and social networking is fast and easy. The camera on this product is fantastic. The pictures are clear and sharp and the camera is so simple to use. It's a wonderful product!
I love a lot about the phone. there have been a couple things I don't really care for. 1st would be the placement of the volume button in relation to the power button. When you hold the phone your thumb goes right over the power button as you get a grip on the phone to depress the volume up/down you are pressing the power button too which seems to win out more times then not. A tad frustrating design. The 2nd thing is the change in the buttons at the bottom of the screen. I don't use the feature of closing all windows that often and appreciated that I was once able to access my settings, apps, and other features with a one button touch. Now you have to go through a few screens to get to that point now. Not super functional. If that's changeable that would be great. Have only had the phone for a couple weeks still learning the new features.
