Samsung galaxy s6 Review
The update is believed to be bringing the full Google camera API into the mix, meaning support for RAW shooting and shutter speed control. This would obviously be very cool and make an already excellent camera setup even better. Android Lollipop 5.1.1 update will likely begin rolling out very shortly, so keep your eyes peeled.
Your experiences with previous Samsung devices will not do justice to face it off with its new devices. Best way to know how they stack up is to get some hands-on with them. I might as well say that Im a previous apple owner and Ive had issues with how boring iOS 6 is and how small their screen size was, how bad the battery life is, and how un-innovative they were when they released the iPhone 5, but again its just stupid of me to do so because technology progresses.
On the back of both phones, youll find a 16-megapixel camera with an f/1.9 aperture lens, and an LED array that includes the cameras flash and heart-rate monitor.
One new feature not seen on the Note Edge is Edge People. Swipe inwards on the small grey tab in the upper right corner of the screen and youll see a hub showing your five favorite people. Select one and assign them a color, and you can fast-track a call or message to them. If you miss a call from one of them, a slim tab in their designated color appears on the side of the display to alert you.
On the front of both phones, a metal-ringed home button joins two capacitive keys. As with the S5 and Not e 4, the home button is a fingerprint scanner, but its been hugely improved and is actually worth using now. Instead of swiping your finger across the sensor, you now just press it on the home button, similar to Apples Touch ID scanner. Its fast and reliable, and one of the better fingerprint scanner implementations weve seen on an Android device.
Like everything else in this handset, Samsung has pulled zero punches when it comes to the Galaxy S6’s power unit. Inside you’ll find the insanely powerful, 64-bit 14nm OctaCore Exynos 7420 CPU running alongside 3GB of RAM and a Mali-T760 GPU. As you’d expect the results of all this grunt are pretty startling and I’m willing to wager this handset is the most powerful smartphone ever created.
Why not slightly round the rear, make it sit more nicely in the hand and improve the space for a battery? HTC does it to terrific effect on the One series, but it seems other brands are obsessed with a flat phone. As a result the S6 doesnt even rest comfortably on the desk, with a little wobble when tapping it at work.
In addition, both phones get their own unique color variant. The S6 sports a very nice Blue Topaz finish, while the S6 Edge gets Green Emerald. Do note however that neither of these colors will be available at launch. On each of the three main colors, the metal frame matches the main body color, with the aluminum on the Black Sapphire being a shade darker than on the White Pearl. The Platinum Gold, of course, is gold colored. Both the Blue Topaz S6 and Green Emerald S6 Edge appear to use the same light silver aluminum frame as the White Pearl.
The S6 isnt waterproof like the Galaxy S5, so you need to take more care than before. Mind you, we’ll be surprised if Samsung doesn’t release an IP-rated Galaxy S6 ‘Active‘ variant in the coming weeks or months.

I am a previous Samsung mobile owner and have always had a bitter taste with Samsung devices. Issues ranging from the customised interface (which adds nothing), delays in firmware updates / buggy updates, rubbish customer service and tons of crapware on the device that one cannot remove.
This is a joke, cloud storage is the warts thing since sliced bred.First, I like to be in total control of my files (like privacy, you know), second it takes a lot of time to store and download the cloud data (even from a PC), third you need to pay for rent to access you data.
QHD panels and battery performance do not go hand in hand; that’s been my position of them since day one. Every QHD device I’ve tested so far had a shocking battery life and struggled to get through a full day (and a night on the town) with heavy usage. The Galaxy S6 is the exception to the rule, however, as its battery –– a mere shrimp at just 2,550mAh –– just keeps on going and going and going. And even when it does want to conk out you can switch on Power Saving mode and eke out another full day’s worth of usage.
LeeTronix April 13, 2015, 8:52 am I think the SD card removal is a case of if itoy (apple) can do it then we can do it, and I think they should of included the SD card, keep their identity not copy itoy. I feel that phone companies are wishing people would use the cloud for main storage use, but it is still about having the stream speed to make good use of it. 4G is available but it is not consistently available all the time when out and about and if you need to access your cloud where the coverage i s poor which can be more frequent than not then it is just not going to work. So an SD card is a good compromise for those many times when you cannot use the stream speed needed for cloud storage.I am sure for a lot of people the internal storage is enough, but some like me do not want all my things on the actual device. I think it is about having the flexibility and choice. As for an application that requires more than 128 I think you have missed the point entirely. It could be lots of certain heavy intensive files or it could be a SD card you use on your computer like a tablet or laptop etc and you insert the card into your phone so you still have access to certain data or it is a card you use a lot whatever the reason it is about choice and flexibility not necessarily the size of an individual application.
Like the iPhone 6, the problem with bottom edge speakers is that when you hold the phone in landscape orientation, its quite easy to cover the speaker w ith your hand. And even if you dont, theres an annoying one-sided quality to the audio. Its a pity because with a screen this good, we hoped the audio would be able to match it. Of course, you can always plug in some headphones.
Eno March 2, 2015, 11:34 am Samsung can say goodby to its loyal customers, the non replacing battery is one thing but the omission of micro SD card slot is unforgivable!Their strategy is to tray to "milk us" for the versions with more internal memory and force the move to cloud, I say one thing, f..k the cloud!People are smart and will look elsewhere.
