I have owned three different Samsung phones now and I have never had a problem with any phone ever they've always lasted a long time never broke the glass I think it's an awesome phone and I will keep buying Samsung Galaxy only phone's
I absolutely love my phone. NORMALLY, it is easy to do what I want. BUT I continue to be prompted to download an "important update" and when I try, IT ALWAYS FAILS. I've spend over 3 hours with the help folks and even they don't have an answer. Guess I'll see if Verizon, where I purchased the phone see if THEY can get the download to complete. On line help is useless to me....I'm too old to understand.
The Galaxy S6 is a great improvement from its predecessors in the aesthetic department. Very good looking, however, I was disappointed to know that the Emerald Green color was not available in the US. Still, the Platinum Gold is really nice and I am very happy with it.
The GS6 has a beautiful screen for watching movies and videos. I'm not much of a mobile gamer, but I have played some demanding games on my phone and they looked really good and I did not experience any issues when playing them.
Just like with the games, I don't remember ever experiencing any issues when running an app, except for the occasional crashes that happen in Android. I think that's a big testament about the processing power of the GS6.
Another big improvement on the GS6 is the camera. I love shooting videos on QHD and HDR makes eveything so neat. Also HD 60FPS videos look really cool. I have so much fun with this camera, whether it's day or night since it works good on low light conditions which is great because I'm not a fan of the flash so I try to avoid it as much as possible.
The GS6 is not without faults and I think its biggest issues are battery and memory. The battery on the GS6 is good enough to last me a day of regular use, at least it was in the beginning. Over time the batery life of my GS6 decreased considerably, I think mainly because of my constantly charging my phone overnight. I don't think this is necessarily Samsung's fault, but the fact that I can't change a worn-out battery is a problem for me. On the bright side of things there's fast charging technology which I love, unfortunately, I don't normally carry a charger everywhere I go.
There is also the Ultra Power Safe Mode (UPSM), which can greatly extent your battery life by shutting off background apps and services and basically reducing your smartphone to a 1999 flip phone. But it comes in handy when I'm down to 5%.
The other problem I have with the GS6 is the fixed memory. I don't like the fact that I'm stuck with 64GB since that's what I could afford at the time I purchased it. Most people will be fine with 64GB, very few might get away with 32GB, but if you can afford the 128GB I would recommend you go with it. The internal memory is there to improve performance, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a very good looking phone with amazing perfomance, a feature-packed camera, and beautiful display.
This is my first ever cell phone and as a mature individual, I continue to be amazed with the things it can do, and I'm just getting started! I hardly know where to start, but love Samsung Pay, GPS capabilities, excellent signal range and many others. The one thing I would like to see improve is battery life, but I also realize it is possible to control this issue somewhat by adjusting the settings. Suffice it to say if I had it to do over again, I would still purchase a Samsung Galaxy!
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, really good camera too!
I spent a lot of time on my phone, and this time I got the Samsung Galaxy 6S. I cannot believe how much I love this phone! I manage everything....my LIFE.... on this phone. The display is so clear and bigger than my last smartphone. I don't think I can ever leave Samsung now. I'm HOOKED!
