Overall I love this phone. It's fast and has a lot of really cool features including a heart rate monitor...what? :-) It really suits my needs and then some. However, there are a couple of things I just don't understand.
1. Okay, the glass shattering on the front of the phone has always been a known issue, but now I have to worry about the back of my phone shattering too? I mean, who does that??
2. It has a non removable battery...I'm not sure about this yet...would like to be able to replace the battery myself if I need to.
3. On day 2 of new phone ownership, my phone just decided to fall into a deep sleep and not wake up...All I did was try to begin a web search and boom, narcolepsy! I wasn't playing music or talking on the phone at the same time, nothing that I would consider worthy of causing a blackout. Anyway, I called Support and they walked me through the manual reset process and it has worked like a charm ever since.
I would definitely recommend this phone to everyone, especially since it has the capability of reverting to "dumb phone" mode if you are someone who is not smartphone savvy. Just be sure to get a protective case for your glass phone!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

still getting aquainted

Too many built in apps that I don't use Battery does not last all day and if you don't have the charger with you, your out of luck. Heard that there was a problem with S6 security and do not know if it was fixed. As I said still getting aquainted with this phone and wondering how this phone is rated so highly. Also didn't know about the S6 active until after I got this phone. Would have gotten the active over this one. Down in the pros it says durable but at Verizon they said since it was all glass that it needed extra protection in case I dropped it.
