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
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is complete. The biggest thing I look for in my next phone is camera quality, the S6 is the king of the hill. The pictures that this phone takes just on automatic are incredible and the video is out of this world. The screen translates video better then the naked eye. I also have converted a few Iphone user because of the camera. I can't wait for Samsung Pay.
This is my second Samsung smartphone, having just upgraded from an S3. The battery seems to last much longer than my old phone, even with running apps. Calls also seem clearer and reception seems better to me even with the same carrier. The quick charger is a great improvement (makes the phone a little warm but really works fast), although I also purchased a wireless desktop charger from the carrier, which makes overnight charging very simple (no messing with plugs). I don't take a lot of photos, but the camera resolution looks great, front and back. I can't say I miss the removeable battery or the memory slot, as frankly I never used them on the older model. The phone looks great, is fairly light and feels similar to my old phone in my pocket. There is a small ridge around the camera, so it's not completely flat on the back side which I noticed at first, but getting used to it. Overall, Samsung has produced what appears to be a high quality smartphone that looks good, is lightweight and offers all the latest bells and whistles.
I really loved my note 3 but thought I would try upgrading to Samsung's newest model, the S6. Don't get me wrong, it is an amazing phone, but I found a lot of what I was looking for (weather resistant / expandable memory / functionality ) was sadly missing from the S6. I returned the S6 and upgraded to the Note 4 instead. ...couldn't be happier.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My 2nd Galaxy

After 3 yrs my Galaxy 3 went into meltdown mode and I had to buy a new phone..I was happy with the 3, so I bought the Galaxy 6 and now i am really happy!! This is a fabulous phone with many quality new features; and cool updates of the existing programs. Having owned a Samsung Galaxy, I find the learning curve is very easy to pick up and follow, without the frustration that usually accompanies new electronic devises. I'm not really tech savvy. so ease of operation is very important to me, the camera, the size, the technology and great graphics and high density..make this the phone to beat...Great phone,Great price, a phone everyone can use and appreciate!!
The s6 is definitely faster than the s5. I like the look and feel of the phone but do miss the waterproof/resistant feature. The fast charging and wireless charging capability is awesome and convenient. I was considering switch to a competitor phone, but this phone did not disappoint. I can still costomize, take amazing pictures, and enjoy a fast loading phone. I will continue getting Samsung Galaxy phones if they make strides like this one.
