What a pleasure. Delivered everything it promised. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants the latest and best phone available on the market, today.
I LOVE THIS PHONE! I'm an unabashed techie... not because I love it but because I need it! The S6 is fabulous! Fast, lean, I've used it internationally, heavy media and data use, scheduling, navigation and messaging on several platforms. What a performer. Effortless, Battery life is good and ability to recharge quickly is amazing!
I have had this phone for a little over two weeks and find some kind of new feature everday. I had an android operated phone once before about three years ago but preferred the iPhone over it because of the stability and a little better performance. Once I saw this phone had come out I was hesitant to switch from an apple product, but am absolutely glad I did. The level of speed and performance this phone has is absolutely amazingand blows any phone I have used out of the water. The design is amazing and sleek and it feels like you have a luxurious piece of equipment in your hand. I show my friends and family all the time and quite a few have questioned why they are still buying apple products. The only downfall that I did experience was when I was first using the phone a few of the stock apps would "unexpectedly stop", but a couple days after they automatically updated and that problem was solved. Overall this is an amazing phone and Samsung has definately won me over for good.
Pros: 64-bit processor very fast, screen is superb, camera photos are remarkable. Clearly radio (4G and WiFi) is quite responsive, as I can see more neighbors' WiFi signals than with old phone. Prefer larger screen without getting into "plus-size" phones. Can't comment on games, as I don't play tbem, nor do I watch movies. Bluetooth sync is easy and quick.
Cons: (1) Software or program logic or process -- not sure which or how -- to move files between phone and tablet is obtuse. I cannot figure out how to move things like photos to my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE or Tab 4 tablets, or vice versa. I wind up emailing files to myself or using a cloud storage account. (Can't get the two tablets to communicate either, despite being a techie.) (2) I still think I miss an external memory card to pop into a card reader to change mp3 files around, still evaluating.
Concerns: (1) Battery life -- per reviews on net -- on long trips with, say, GPS navigation use; in fairness, yet to be tested by myself. (2) Newly-reported Android 5.0.1 operating system memory leak problem causing phone crashes; Samsung needs to get a fix out the door sooner than later.
Wants: A decent suction-cup wireless charging windshield mount that would hold S6 and (for example) in a third-party protective case... at a reasonable price.
On balance: Would buy this again, not sure S6 Edge needed for my type of use). Was going to wait for rumored S6 Active with waterproofing and SD card, but I'm not hard on phones, and decided to replace 5-year old smartphone now.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, processor speed, bluetooth
Cons: attention to exchanging files (see comments).
