Beatiful Design and Powerful Performance Somewhat Limited by Battery and Discarded Features

Positive: Beautiful design, powerful processor, sufficient RAM and storage, above average camera (no complaints), display is color accurate with excellent resolution.
Negative: Poor battery life, no memory expansion via SD card, battery not intended to be removed/replaced by user, not water resistant (YES, it matters!).
My Galaxy S6 does not see heavy usage, yet battery life can be a problem. Power saving mode has become my norm; and no, my device is neither defective nor outside the norm. That being said, it's not a bad product. My dilemma is that getting this device was a long time coming and I had come to expect what the S5 (yes, S5) had to offer. Features like the battery which is both larger/replaceable, SD card expansion, water resistance, etc... Micro USB 3.0 was also dropped, but it didn't matter to me. The S6 having a faster processor, an extra GB of RAM, sharper screen, and being more "design oriented" (or elegant) is nice, but features which were standard on the S5 are still very much desirable. Side by side with my girlfriend's S5, both in cases, many would assume they are the same phone! Again, not a bad product, but I would have gladly accepted it being slightly larger/heavier if it combined what was best about the S5 with S6 resources, display, and design. Hopefully Samsung will realize that the S5 helped establish both a technical benchmark and consumer expectations. Please consider and balance this going forward!
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight, above average system resources, beautiful design and display
Cons: poor battery capacity/life, no sd card expansion (like s5), not water resistant (like s5), battery not removable (like s5)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good so far

So far the phone is fast and been reliable. Other Samsung phones have slowed after a few months, so time will tell if it remains fast.
Finger print sensor was not reliable at first, but is better after a few weeks. Not sure if it is because I have learned how to use it better or it learned.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone, great camera, fast

This is the best phone I have had so far. I started with 2 iPhones, switched to an LG-G3 and now the S6. This phone has by far the best camera I have seen. The only one that compares to it is my son's iPhone 6S. The phone is fast, there is never a lag bringing up any app. Size and weight are great too.
There are two things that lower my design qualification of this phone: 1. You cannot add more storage. Not a big deal for me since I don't need more than the 64GB, but could be a problem for other people 2. Battery life is not good. The fact that Samsung put a smaller battery on this phone compared to the S5 and the fact that you cannot replace it is a big design flaw. My LG-G3's battery would last me all day easily even after using Maps and music in the car for a long time. This phone would need a re-charge if I do that.
Overall a great phone.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, great camera, great performance
Cons: short battery life, can't swap battery, can't add more storage
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone

I had to finally break down and get a new smart phone. This is a great phone for what I use it for...talk, text, games, social media and banking.
After reviewing phones for who had the best camera, this phone was rated number one. I have to agree that the camera on this phone is exemplary. If you use your phone to take a lot of pictures, then this is the phone for you.
