Overall this phone is fantastic! The only thing I would love to change is how sensitive the touch screen is. I notice if I even wave a finervous over the screen something happens that I didn't want to. Other than that I love my phone. Just got a new case for it and screen protector!
The Galaxy S6 is a great improvement from its predecessors in the aesthetic department. Very good looking, however, I was disappointed to know that the Emerald Green color was not available in the US. Still, the Platinum Gold is really nice and I am very happy with it.
The GS6 has a beautiful screen for watching movies and videos. I'm not much of a mobile gamer, but I have played some demanding games on my phone and they looked really good and I did not experience any issues when playing them.
Just like with the games, I don't remember ever experiencing any issues when running an app, except for the occasional crashes that happen in Android. I think that's a big testament about the processing power of the GS6.
Another big improvement on the GS6 is the camera. I love shooting videos on QHD and HDR makes eveything so neat. Also HD 60FPS videos look really cool. I have so much fun with this camera, whether it's day or night since it works good on low light conditions which is great because I'm not a fan of the flash so I try to avoid it as much as possible.
The GS6 is not without faults and I think its biggest issues are battery and memory. The battery on the GS6 is good enough to last me a day of regular use, at least it was in the beginning. Over time the batery life of my GS6 decreased considerably, I think mainly because of my constantly charging my phone overnight. I don't think this is necessarily Samsung's fault, but the fact that I can't change a worn-out battery is a problem for me. On the bright side of things there's fast charging technology which I love, unfortunately, I don't normally carry a charger everywhere I go.
There is also the Ultra Power Safe Mode (UPSM), which can greatly extent your battery life by shutting off background apps and services and basically reducing your smartphone to a 1999 flip phone. But it comes in handy when I'm down to 5%.
The other problem I have with the GS6 is the fixed memory. I don't like the fact that I'm stuck with 64GB since that's what I could afford at the time I purchased it. Most people will be fine with 64GB, very few might get away with 32GB, but if you can afford the 128GB I would recommend you go with it. The internal memory is there to improve performance, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a very good looking phone with amazing perfomance, a feature-packed camera, and beautiful display.
Went from my old flip phone to this new smartphone. Don't know much about them so got the advice of my sister who is VERY knowledgeable. After sharing the specs with her she was quite impressed and advised me to choose the Galaxy S6. One of the main features I wanted was a good front and back camera. Takes excellent pictures. This is everything I wanted in a smartphone; I know I can trust my sister. The white pearl is beautiful. Gave only a "Good" rating on design because I don't like always accidentally hitting the "Recent" and "Back" buttons on the front/bottom of the phone; maybe it's just a bad habit I need to break. Definitely would recommend this phone to friends/family.
To protect my phone I purchased a Samsung Galaxy S6 S-View Flip Cover in white. When the cover is closed, the convenient S-View cover lets me have instant access to critical features like time, weather and other status items. I can accept/reject an incoming call, dial contacts from my "Favorites" list and use the camera with just a swipe. I've dropped my phone twice on carpet and the Flip Cover did it's job, phone was unharmed. It protects the front/back of my phone when taking in and out of my purse or pocket. I highly recommend one.
