My Samsung Galaxy S6 after 2 months
on August 1, 2015

Expertise:Expert
It's been a whole 2 months with this beast of a device that I was actually skeptical about buying. I'm sure you all know by now that there's no expandable memory and no removable battery. Then I thought about it, I never had a spare battery for my previous phone and my 16gb SD card was nowhere near full capacity. The only reason I was a bit nervous about the battery was due to past habits, like rooting and needing to do a battery pull once in a while if freezing occurred. Problem solved.... I don't NEED to root this baby!!
I like this phone. Samsung has done a great job with their latest flagship. From the design to what's under the hood. The Exynos processor alone makes a huge difference between this phone and the last Galaxy S line device. TouchWiz!!! I don't need a launcher at all now and I don't even miss gestures. I can change the grid size (I like 4×5 personally) and change the theme to my liking without any added apps which would take more space.
Now let's get into the whole expandable storage deal. I always liked being able to swap SD cards or upgrade to a higher amount of storage. That was more of a concern than the battery. After careful consideration and a little bit of math I decided to go ahead and jump on the ISO "internal storage only" bandwagon. No regrets 2 months in. I transferred everything from my 32gb Note 4 to my 64gb S6 with about 43% of storage left to play with. Already over the 32gb that I had, with room for a lot more. Since I'm not rooted and making backups of roms, backups of apps with data, downloading and saving roms etc. I have 0 worries about storage and I don't even have to bank on the cloud saving me! Plus I'm kind of OCD about keeping my devices clean and junk free.
Battery. Battery. Battery.
This is where it gets tricky because it's pretty much up to the user of the S6 to turn this on, turn that off, adjust this setting and so on. For such a powerful device with this awesome processing power and brilliantly sharp screen, the battery does quite well with my daily usage. I'll admit to being one of those people I mentioned above. The master optimizer. Turning features on and off almost to the point that I made my smartphone dumb. I'd squeeze out 14 hrs here and there with around 4 to 5 hrs SOT (screen on time) all the while I'm missing some notifications, emails, and manually entering my location anytime needed because I turned off my location to save battery. IT'S NOT WORTH IT!!

The last 2 weeks with my shiny white 64gb Galaxy S6 have been amazing! Why? Because I turned almost every feature on and I'm getting the battery life that fits my schedule without missing anything! I have the highest level of location enabled which means GPS is on, bluetooth connected to my Bluetooth headset all day, brightness set to auto, vibration on, apps syncing hourly, and whatever else that I use to turn off to save battery. Basically I'm getting the same 14 hrs plus some on occasion.
Overall, I say this is a great phone for many different types of individuals. The pros outweigh the cons and there's not many to mention in my opinion. Once again, that's up to the user to decide and as I always say...... To each their own!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight
Cons: none
I would recommend this to a friend!

Worst Phone
on July 31, 2015
Posted by: BigThumper

I have owned many Samsung phone and they are the best. But i must say that this is the worst phone that Samsung has put out., it locks up on a regular basis. It changes settings on its own. The batter life is not on par with any other phone that Samsung makes. it does not even last the day before it has to be charged. You can not access the internet while on a phone call, like you can with most other Samsung phones. Yes you can if you turn on HD Calling but then it only works if you are in a 4G LTE area. I drops WiFi connections on a regular basis. It has one of the worst signal receivers. You also don't have the option of an SD Card. They took away the ability to remove the battery. If I had the option I would not buy this phone again, it is not worth the money. I will be switching to a Note 4 as soon as I can.
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love My New Samsung

Like expensive feel and weight of phone. Phone is super quick and screen colors are vivid. Gets expensive with accessories, but a good phone case and screen protector is a must to guard your investment. S6 is not cheap plastic like my old S3. The gold could be a little more golden like on S5. Battery life has been above average so far. Would recommend.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: price
I would recommend this to a friend!
