This is a fantastic phone; however, I am disappointed Samsung would take a step backwards and mimic an iPhone by deep sixing the micro sd slot. Please bring it back and step away from the inferior designed iPhone. Let Samsung set the bar for innovation and let iPhone try to catch up. I know many people that have switched to Samsug because of the micro sd slot and I wonder how many of them will go back to iPhones because of the removal of the micro sd slot.
I REALLY LIKED THIS PHONE. HOWEVER, I TRADED IT FOR THE NOTE 5. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN THE POWER SAVER MODE WITH ALL UNNECESSARY APPS STOPPED BLUETOOTH OFF, AND WIRELESS ONLY ON IN MY HOME, IT WAS LOSING 10% OF ITS CHARGE PER HOUR WITH ALMOST NO USAGE. IT MAY HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE, THE BATTERY HAD A PROBLEM. THE NOTE 5 HAS BEEN FINE EVEN WITH HEAVY USE.
I upgraded from a Samsung S4 and the only reason I upgraded was because my old phone could not be charged using the charging port. Luckily I was able to purchase a few spare batteries and charge them in a wall charger which allowed me to be able to swap out batteries as needed. With the S6 this is no longer an option because it does not come with a replaceable battery. I've been using this phone for almost 2 weeks and unless I'm missing something, one major weakness is that you can't back up your settings from an older Samsung and be able to easily re-create the home pages and installed apps. Another major weakness of this phone is the text and message notifications. I use my phone on the vibration setting 90% of the time and this phone even on the highest vibration intensity has a very week vibration. To make matters worse, it appears the notification only occurs once, there doesn't appear to be a way to have the notification repeat until acknowledged. Fortunately there is an app that does seem to help, but this should be a built in function of the phone. As a result, I have missed several critical notifications. The outgoing text messaging with the ability to group is a welcome addition over the S4. While I haven't used the camera extensively, it does appear to focus and take a picture much quicker than the S4 and the quality does seem much better.
This is my best phone ever. The battery lasts at least all day. I steam audio constantly and this phone keeps going. I also like the easy to access voice mail. Overall I'm very happy with my phone
Pros: Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, easy to use
Cons: occasionally randomly calls the last person i text
Everything is faster and camera is a bit clearer, there was virtually no increase in battery life over s5, and I do miss having the water and dust resistance.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Lightweight, very quick responsive., wireless charging is great.
Cons: battery life could be better., where's the durability?
