Great screen
on May 8, 2015
Posted by: Aeon
The screen is beautifully clear and large. It's great at taking photos and videos. One this I feel is slightly off is the volume. I have to turn it up more to hear when it rings.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

seriously debating on going to....

I'm seriously debating on if I should deal with this phone or go down to a Galaxy S5. I do not like the fact that it doesn't have an external memory card option. Or the fact that my messages are disappearing before I'm able to read them. And please explain how to open the SIM slot on the side of the phone with the key in the phone instructions.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, too expensive
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been dealing with a windows phone and didn't know if I would like this phone but I love it. It was very easy to learn. I've had my Samsung for about 3 weeks now and had no problems. The battery life isn't that good but I can deal with it.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

I've used this phone for about two weeks now and I absolutely love it! It never lags, the camera is great, and the design is amazing. My only complaint would be battery life, but that's only if you're a heavy user. I would highly recommend thus obone!
Pros: great camera, fast performance, so many features
Cons: not great battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!

The S6 is definitely a big upgrade! The design of the device is percise and sleek. The software is much cleaner and it runs smoother. Havent had any crashes and the internal hardrive works perfect. It was a great idea to get rid of the sd card slot. Overall the phone is perfect in my opinion.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

Great looking phone, but the battery is not good.

The phone design is beautiful and very durable. But the battery on my model was not great. I had to keep a charger with me everywhere I went. The screen is beautiful full of vibrant colors that aren't washed out. The audio quality is better on this model. Overall the phone is highly overrated in my opinion.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The best phone available right now!

I’ve always been a big Samsung fan, so when I the Galaxy S6 came out I was super-excited to get it. This has been the biggest change to the Galaxy series in a very long time, so while there are a lot of things to like, there are a few things to dislike as well.
Design: I LOVE the design. Its metal and glass unibody is simply stunning and is very thin and lightweight. My only complaints are that it is very slippery, and that my phone has a couple of dings on the corners of the metal and some scratches on the front and back. I didn’t have a case for it for the first couple of days, so seeing this was very disappointing considering how expensive it is.
Screen: If I could describe the screen in one word, it would be perfection. The colors are vibrant and aren’t too saturated at all. Its Quad HD resolution means it’s pin-sharp too, but I think that 1080p is more appropriate for phones. Another thing I love about the screen is that it gets extremely bright for improved outdoor visibility, and adequately dim for using it at night.
Camera: The camera is really, really good. Like crazy good. The amount of detail and clarity is insane from just a phone camera, and the colors come out very good as well. Low-light performance is a major improvement over my previous Samsung phones, and the simplistic user interface and new camera features like OIS and Tracking Autofocus are very useful and work great. And the front camera, oh boy, the front camera is just amazing. Great color accuracy, stabilization, clarity, and the wide-angle lens and gesture control are very useful when taking selfies (if that’s your thing).
Performance: This was a shocker for me, but I wasn’t impressed with its performance. And, that’s actually not a bad thing at all. My S6 runs very fast and smoothly, and I applaud Samsung for getting rid of most of the lag useless features that plagued previous Galaxies. The only reason I say that I’m not impressed is because my S6 is not much faster than my Note 3, which was already very fast. One thing I do want to mention is that RAM management issue this phone has. While I know Samsung has already acknowledged this glitch and is working on a fix, it is extremely annoying and shouldn’t be happening on any flagship phone.
Battery life: Ugh, this is the one thing I don’t like about this phone. Having a Quad HD screen and only a 2550mAH battery (which is smaller than the previous-generation Galaxy S5), there’s no wondering why the S6 has bad battery life. While it’s decent enough for me, it could be a whole lot better. I can get up to 13 hours of battery life on of a single charge, with about 3 to 3.5 hours of screen-on time. Thankfully, there are two power-saving modes, fast charging, and wireless charging to help remedy this. Fast charging is the arguably the most useful. By plugging my phone in for just 15-20 minutes I can get a solid hour or two of extra battery life, which is crazy. I’m not a big fan of the wireless charging though. While it is convenient, it doesn’t charge fast enough. Maybe I’m spoiled by the fast charging, but wireless charging is something I’ll probably only use when I want to charge my phone overnight.
My thoughts about the lack of a removable battery and Micro SD: Honestly, I don’t care, and I don’t think that many other people will either. Unless you already carry around a spare battery for your current phone, you won’t care about the lack of a removable battery. I was mad about Micro SD because I actually used one, but I decided to just purchase a higher-storage 64GB model and then transfer everything I had on my Micro SD to my phone, and I was satisfied. I’m actually kind of glad Samsung did this though; now my gallery runs significantly faster and there’s much less of a chance of me losing everything.
Other things: The S6 fingerprint scanner is okay. It still has issues recognizing my fingerprints sometimes, which is very annoying, but it’s fast when it does work. The speakers get really loud, and call quality is very good. The new Touch Wiz looks and feels very polished, and it is much simpler to use. The new Samsung keyboard is actually usable now, so useable I actually use it as my default keyboard. That was a very pleasant surprise. I will say that I wish it was still water resistant like the S5 was, but it's not that big of a deal.
Overall, I think that the Galaxy S6 is one of the best, if not THE best, smartphone available right now. It has a great screen, fantastic cameras, speedy performance, and great user experience that I think many people will love.
Pros: Lightweight, stunning screen, speedy performance, fantastic camera quality, fast and wireless charging, fingerprint scanner, loud speaker, perfect size, perfect for selfies
Cons: slippery to hold, scratches easily, bad battery life
I would recommend this to a friend!
