Love the picture and video quality and the fun camera modes! Great display color and resolution. Like the style and size. Strongly dislike the short battery life and that it is not possible to replace it with an extended battery. Seems like Samsung only tests battery life in a bare phone, not one full of power hungry apps like GPS, video or Virtual Reality. If Samsung wanted to seal up the phone, why not go all the way and make it water proof?
Cons: had to buy everything new car & wall chargers, every accessory had to be upgraded and purchased., last model pieces not compatible made process $
I've had this phone a fewhile months now (lost and got it replaced, consistency was great between them) I've used it strictly on wifi and on 4g and it works wonderfully. Screen size is good, big enough to watch videos or read pdf's but small enough that it fits easily in pockets and I can use it one handed. Speaker is nice on it. And features are all around great. The cases for it are plentiful. Down sides are battery life, I end up charging it mid day atleast an hour or so to get it thru to the end. And not being able to use a micro SD card. Also to replace the sim card you need a special tool or a super fine point. And it's not supplied at all. Found this out when mine was stolen and got a replacement. With a new sim card. Even still I would recommend this phone.
I love my s6 it's so easy to work with and it never let's me down I the quality of the phone is just wonderful I am not very good at electronics but this phone was so easy to learn I couldn't have picked a benter phone this time it's no comparison to my last phone the BB z10. Thanks samsung for such a great device
I am glad to see a lot of the old Samsung S5 bloatware gone. The new Lollipop is very nice. Camera is a big upgrade.
The fingerprint scanner is nice in theory - works a bit better than the old scanner on the S5. I still have problems getting the phone to recognize my fingerprint. It works fine for a day and thereafter it seems to work only about 10 - 20% of the time. Very frustrating. I do like that I can set places (such as my home) as "secure" and don't have to unlock the phone every single time while I am in that location. This is very convenient.
I had problems with the sensitivity of the screen for a few days. But once I put on a tempered glass screen protector I have had no problems.
I wish the 128GB was available when I bought this phone. I got the 64GB and am worried about the memory. I am hoping to keep this phone for a couple of years. My old S5 only had 16GB of memory and there was so much bloatware that I could no longer update apps - even after removing all unnecessary apps and photos. I even got a memory card and was planning on moving all the apps to the SD card. Turns out the OS would not let me move all that bloatware to the SD card and I could not delete it either. It just took up precious memory.
So far I am glad that I purchased this phone. I would do it again.
I loved my Samsung S4 but love my S6 even more. Faster, charges quickly, battery lasts long time, GREAT camera. I wouldn't have another smart phone. GREAT JOB Samsung.
