Pros: 64-bit processor very fast, screen is superb, camera photos are remarkable. Clearly radio (4G and WiFi) is quite responsive, as I can see more neighbors' WiFi signals than with old phone. Prefer larger screen without getting into "plus-size" phones. Can't comment on games, as I don't play tbem, nor do I watch movies. Bluetooth sync is easy and quick.
Cons: (1) Software or program logic or process -- not sure which or how -- to move files between phone and tablet is obtuse. I cannot figure out how to move things like photos to my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE or Tab 4 tablets, or vice versa. I wind up emailing files to myself or using a cloud storage account. (Can't get the two tablets to communicate either, despite being a techie.) (2) I still think I miss an external memory card to pop into a card reader to change mp3 files around, still evaluating.
Concerns: (1) Battery life -- per reviews on net -- on long trips with, say, GPS navigation use; in fairness, yet to be tested by myself. (2) Newly-reported Android 5.0.1 operating system memory leak problem causing phone crashes; Samsung needs to get a fix out the door sooner than later.
Wants: A decent suction-cup wireless charging windshield mount that would hold S6 and (for example) in a third-party protective case... at a reasonable price.
On balance: Would buy this again, not sure S6 Edge needed for my type of use). Was going to wait for rumored S6 Active with waterproofing and SD card, but I'm not hard on phones, and decided to replace 5-year old smartphone now.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, processor speed, bluetooth
Cons: attention to exchanging files (see comments).
I would recommend this to a friend!
