    This is a top-end phone. It has a great display, great camera, great voice activation, but... Battery life is a large disappointment. Can barely make it thru a 12 hour day and I don't do lots of data download. I had no trouble setting up my emails, gmail and cox, but upon signing into cox which is my main email, I got 369 emails. These were duplicates from my laptop, so I wanted to delete them. Unfortunately, the email app that comes with the phone has no "select all" command in the email inbox. Three Hundred and sixty nine times I had to select, delete and delete confirm!!! My previous 2 smartphones were a Motorola and a Blackberry. They both had such a command. Very disappointed with this device.

    This was a upgrade that my girfriend had been wanting to go back to since she had her S3 a while ago! She had been using a Droid Ultra with 8GB and it was okay, but there were connection issues with it when it was on wifi! Strange things would happen such as loading and then it would knock out connections to other devices on the wifi at home! Just weird!!! No matter what was done to correct settings it did not matter! So when we were at a point to upgrade, this is what she wanted. When you see a smile on the person who is the Love of Your Life, while they are using their phone and no longer getting aggitated, that just gives you a warm fuzzy all over that they are Happy!!! Transition of the apps and data was effortless using the cloud feature!!! So much better than the ways you had to do it a few years ago! The screen size is very good and clarity, you can almost look through it like it is suppose to be for real life look and feel on pictures and videos!!! The battery life is above adequate in comparison to other phones!!! For those that have enjoyed the Samsung phones in the past, but for whatever reason you switched, this is a good comeback!!! Great Buy from Best Buy!!!

    I upgraded from an old LG flip phone to the new S6. It is very fast and very responsive. The screen is very bright and detailed. I can watch 4K videos on it and it looks just great. The only thing I don't like about it is the battery just doesn't last as long as I'd like.

    I was getting this phone for my daughter, she wanted a smart phone forever. I am so glad this is the one we picked out it takes great pictures and is easy to use. I think my next phone will definitely be a galaxy s6.

    Phone is fast, but battery is hot

    Fastest phone I've owned, hands down. Clearest display on a phone I've owned, as well. This stuff should be expected though as I upgrade phones every ~2 years. My biggest gripe though is how hot the battery gets. I live in Austin, TX so it is always really darn hot outside, but the battery gets hot when I use Google Maps as a GPS, when I play games, when I watch videos, etc. It gets REALLY hot to the touch. Overall though I recommend.

    I honestly can't complain. I was an iphone user before the galaxy S6 and I'm really enjoying the benefits of having an android + samsung phone. The resolution on the pictures is amazing. Plus the wireless charging is fairly convenient at home. Great product samsung!

    Updated from a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and very happy with the choice. Although the Note was great it was too big, this phone is just right. Have an Iphone 6S for work and the Galaxy S6 is by far so much better.

    I have had the Samsung Galaxy S6 32GB Black model since its launch. While it takes some getting used coming back over to Android from iPhone, this phone so far has lived up to the hype. It is extremely fast over WiFi or 4G. The battery seems to last a good amount of time, and I do use the wireless charger every now and then. Overall, I am happy with my purchase and wish some of the apps would work better over bluetooth.

    After careful review of the reviews for this phone, I decided to give it a try. Really like it! It is very easy to use and the size is perfect. I was reluctant at first because I thought that I would miss not having the ability to add an SD card for additional storage. However the 32gb that comes with the phone appears to be more than enough. For those who would still like the security of having additional storage space, cloud storage works well with this phone and provides easy access to my pictures and music plus the availability for my other devices.

    Great Battery Life

    My last phone was the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the one that ran ice cream sandwich firmware. The battery only lasted 1-3 hours with use and 7 hours only with hardly any use. The new phone I have now which is the Samsung Galaxy S6 is wonderful. The battery last me all day and sometimes 2 days. I love the new fast charging technology. For heavy usage playing games, talking on the phone, web surfing, I get between 12-15 hours. Normal usage any where from 1-2 days before I decide to charge it at 30%. It could go for 3 days if I wanted to. I just want it 100% the next day before I go out. The phone charges in an hour with the fast charger it comes with. The battery size is 2550 . The phone fits nice in one hand and is not very heavy. It has many power saving features. I leave the power saver feature on all the time. Not the one that makes the screen black and white though. Of course that power saver can be a life saver if your battery is really low and you need to make a phone call in an emergency situation. Get the Otter Box case for it. It gives you a nice grip and protects the phone very well.

    Perfectly acceptable phone for non power-users

    The S6 is my 1st smartphone purchase, and fulfills all the needs I currently have for phone with all the smart functions included. After a reasonably short break in period the battery looks to be good for several days use as a phone, with the occasional venture into web/email browsing during the day. I don't know what a more consistent smartphone user's use pattern would be, but I will hazard a guess and say the lack of replaceable storage media will be an issue with someone who does a great deal of work on their phone, 128 megs can disappear quickly for someone who's phone is their computer, even just someone who wants to keep their music on it.. On standard power setting the phone will eat through a charge in a couple of hours of constant use. Setting to power savings made will increase this. Whether you can live with the reduced performance is question I can't answer. For me the 1st level of power saving did not radically diminish the functionality of the phone, but I primarily use it as a phone, with secondary functions of texting and checking emails.

    I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S4. I needed a bigger screen for my aging eyes. This phone is perfect. I am able to make the font bigger than on my old phone. The camera is the best on the smartphone market with tons of added features. It still fits nicely in your hand and is the perfect weight.

    This is a great choice of you don't want a huge phone. The size is large enough for me. The metal and glass construction feels great in the hand. The Samsung options and apps are a nice plus. It lacks a little of the customizable options I was used to with my LG G2 but I can survive without those. Canara works great and takes good pictures. Overall I'd say you can't go wrong.

    I've had this phone for a month now and it is great. It looks great, feels great, and it's fast! I just wish I didn't have to cover up its beauty with a phone case, which is needed because the phone is pretty slippery without one.
