Great phone, poor battery life

This phone has great features like the camera, easy to navigate interface, and exclusive content. The pictures are on par with any professional camera. The only poor quality is the battery life. It seems I can only get through 1/2 a day before having to charge it.
So went with a new S6 over my S5 which was my old work phone. I like the features and design, with exception of the non remove battery and have a set (finite) GB hard drive. Ended up going with 64 GB so should be fine moving forward as my old 12 GB S5 was giving me warnings all the time. I am just miffed that Samsung decided to play follow the leader vs keeping with what got you here. Really would have preferred function over form on this one.
I had an iPhone 4 before this and was due for a change. I decided that the s6 would be an easy change for me because it has the buttons that give the allusion of being like an iPhone. I have been happy with the phone except for the battery life, which I have to watch religiously. If I forget to shut apps down it will not last me a whole day. Also, since I have been trying to preserve battery life and shutting off wifi and Bluetooth settings to preserve the battery, I just noticed that it does not Sync across my Ford sync for messages like my iPhone did. I really miss this feature, because I could at least hear my messages. Now nothing goes thru. I hate to say this but if I was still in my return time if there was another phone out there that did work, I would exchange it out. I hope Samsung/Ford gets this figured out. Also, why can't I be on the phone and look at my calendar at the same time? I can't figure out how a supposedly great new phone doesn't have the features of a 3-4 year old iPhone. But if you are not looking for the these things, the phone is quick, looks great, and easy to run
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

I know this will vary from person to person. The auto-reject feature did not work well. I also could not use the spam feature as Verizon opted out. That was very upsetting. Tried downloading 3rd party apps but was inundated with ads. In the end I returned the phone and reluctantly got the iphone. Just wished these features were built into the phone like the iphone. Overall, the phone is beautiful. It has a solid design and the look and feel are both terrific. The resolution is awesome. Would have given 5 stars for everything but unfortunately I can't due to the issues I've had with the spam filter.
If in the future Samsung comes up with a way for me to control spam outside of using the behemoth Verizon, I will definitely reconsider getting another Samsung phone.
First time using a smartphone other than iPhone. Love the features and customization. The only reason I choose to hey this phone was for the camera quality which I am not disappointed from and it had been fun learning its great features.
I have had my S6 for about 3 weeks now and I love it. The improved camera makes fantastic pictures and the ease of use is great. I would definitely recommend this phone to anyone. I have had an I phone but did not like it at all. Glad to have my Android back. 5 STAR PHONE.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the S6. Here are some pros and cons:
Pros:
-great design, fits comfortably in my hand -the display is amazing, very high resolution and colors are vibrant -Andriod is great, very customizable
Cons:
-battery life could be better, which is why I gave it 4 stars overall. I would have given it 4.5, but that wasn't an option. There is a power-saving mode though, so the battery isn't too much of a problem.
When Advance calling is enable calls drop and internet performance suffer (it wont allow me to summit the review with the name of my carrier). Second the camera is supposed to be the best out there for smartphones. Zoomed pictures are very blurry, none zoomed pictures are OK until zoomed in then you see blurry pixels.
I was so excited about this phone but it has been a total let down, I wish I had my Samsung S4 back but my carrier no longer sells them.
