Awesome phone. curved edges on screen seem to be more of a fashion statement than actually useful. Sometimes they annoy me when using the swype texting because my thumb will slide off the edge and mess up the swype.
Beautiful, fast, enjoyable. There aren't many reasons NOT to go with an S6, but as most things do, it comes down to personal preference. The low battery is what makes a few people go with the Note 4 still, but IMO, Quick Charge offsets that (yeah I know the Note does it too). The camera is soooooooo much better than was on my S5. Kudos on that! Lately, since I removed my case, I have a new appreciation for the look and feel. Very slick and eye-catching! The thing I would want most in Samsung's next phone (S7?) would be put back the memory card slot...I know it seems silly but I miss it :/
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, responsive camera
Cons: short battery, no memory card slot, not enough edge features
Within days I noticed the rotation wasn't working/ restarted it a couple times ended up working again. And the problem with the battery also/heating up. & now when I try to turn it on when pushing the side button it doesn't turn on & ends up turning off then on again... I'm hating all these issues!! :( why can't u just work?!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: battery issues heating up, screen isn't turning on when i click the button.
I upgraded from the GS3 and all I can say I wow, what a difference. the quality and feel of my edge is amazing. don't get me started on the camera, it was so crisp and clear I thought it was fake, my picture quality went thru the roof. id recommend this and any other Samsung product to anyone. my favorite brand out there by far
Missing a ton of features from previous galaxy devices

You want to like this phone. It looks great, has impressive hardware, and some interesting new features, but after using it for about a month I wish I still had my Galaxy s3 back.
First, there is no longer an option to only show contacts with phone numbers in the contacts menu. Which makes it difficult to actually use your phone as a phone!
Second, there is no longer any options to control the LED indicator. You can turn it on or off, but you can't select to have it on for some notifications and not others.
Third, the menu button has been replaced with an absolutely useless recent apps button. This not only makes it easy to accidentally close whatever app you happen to be using, but completely breaks features in one my most frequently used apps.
Finally, you can no longer change the snooze settings on the alarm clock. There is one setting and if that doesn't work, then too bad.
I would recommend the phone if its software wasn't such a clear regression from previous galaxy devices, but as it is now I would recommend that you find a phone with more sensible software.
