I've used both Android and iOS devices since the iPhone 3 and the original T-mobile MyTouch, including several HTC models. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses. I decided to upgrade from iPhone 5S to the Galaxy S6 this go-around, instead of iPhone 6, because Samsung has taken a clear lead in innovating both their devices and the Android platform. I'm excited by the new Google Wallet Touch-to-Pay feature as well as Samsung's wireless charging. Review after review says that the Galaxy's camera is superior. I had initially wanted the S6 Edge, but the lack of apps or features that support it wasn't worth the extra $100, so I opted for more memory instead. Nearly every day, I discover a new feature that iOS didn't have. I also recently saw Samsung's Smart Watch which is superior to Apples, in that it functions as a standalone device and has a bigger curved display. The Pre-installed Peel Smart Remote alone makes this device hard to put-down.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, swype keyboard, predictive text & auto-correct, samsung switch app, usb device on mac os x, wondershare mobilego for itunes, chrome browser & chromcast, fingerprint id, google play and apps, tangle-free earphones, split screen
Cons: miss a few ios apps, battery recharges slower than expected, android apps, wish it worked w/ galaxy note pen, pre-installed camera app
There was a lot of hype surrounding the release of this phone...and Samsung lived up to it! The fast processor and amazing camera are just a couple of the amazing features on this phone. Great job Samsung!
I've had my Galaxy S6 64GB since it came out 4/10/2015. Upgraded from the old Droid RAZR MAXX. Have to say, I love it! Its been fast, reliable and looks pretty good too! I'm not a huge app user, but the apps I do use run pretty smooth ( yet I have noticed a slight lag from time to time as other review sites have pointed out). The menus are laid out pretty well and there is quite a bit of customization available. Learning curve was just what I expected as well.
My only real complaints, no built "favorite contacts bar" widget, battery life is pretty sub-par (although from me this hasn't really been a big issue since I'm not on the phone all the time and I always have a charger near by), and even though I'mm not a big app user, with out a Micro SD slot, I can see 64GB running out on me. Kinda wish I would have gotten the 128GB version.
Prior to pre-ordering the S6, I was using a 2014 Moto X Pure Edition. I loved the phone, but couldn't get past the premium look of the S6 and the reported excellent camera quality. While the Moto X is a great phone, the camera left a lot to be desired. I have young kids and my wife is always snapping awesome looking photos of the kids from her iPhone 6. I couldn't make the jump to an iphone, but an S6 would still be an Android phone that I could try out.
At first I had trouble getting used to TouchWiz from pure vanilla android. About a week in, I was hooked. The phone is quick, has a great premium build and materials and the camera is insane! My wife has played around with it and would now like to switch from her iphone to an S6.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, camera quality
This has been a great phone, with but one issue that I have come across. Any music and pictures that I move over from my computer are not showing in any of my galleries. If I search through my files they are there, but in my picture gallery of music app, none of the files are displaying.
this phone is great. I had the S5 and loved it, then went to the S6 the day it was released for sale. It is very fast and can do multiple things at once without stalling, crashing or slowing down. Great upgrades.
