    The phone has a lot of neat features enjoy using it the biggest drawback that I have found is the battery life. Having to charge it every 24 hours, and sometimes every 12 to keep it up to charge. Other than that the phone is a very well-made phone working properly gives you plenty of options and things to work with.

    I am enjoying learning this phone. It is a big step from a regular cell phone to this 'does it all' type! The screen is so clear and is responsive. Unfortunately, the battery life is not so great. I keep it on power saver so I don't have to charge it daily. I also don't leave the phone on unless I'm leaving the house.

    My first smartphone purchase. Not at all disappointed. Was familiar with android operating system since owning a Samsung tablet. Functionality and general look and feel are very much the same. Phone quality (sound) is also good which is important to me. System response is quick. I can not get the fingerprint lock function to work properly. Usually takes a few tries to engage. It's annoying.

    I absolutely love this phone. My wife and I looked into the Samsung phones because of the camera quality we had heard about on these phones. They have not let us down yet and the screen quality is fantastic. Great battery life and all around good phone. We could not be happier, and beats the heck out of Apple.

    Huge improvement over the S5

    I've used the S4, S5, and Note 3, but the Galaxy S6 is easily my favorite phone. I was not a fan of the S5 because it felt cheap, had too much bloatware, and had issues with overheating. Samsung addressed all of those issues with the S6. The phone is much more responsive and there are a lot of small software changes and new features that make the phone easier to use. The new glass finish feels great, but Samsung could have been a little more careful with assembly. One of the corners on the front of my phone sits slightly below the bezel. It's not noticeable when just looking at it, but you can feel it when you run your fingers over it. I'm not going to lower my review because I personally don't mind. But if things like that bother you, I suggest you go inspect your phone before buying. I'm sure its not the case for all S6 phones.

    Really enjoying my new phone and the programs I have loaded on it. The camera produces amazing pictures. I enjoy the Samsung software that records exercise. I am sure there are many more programs I have yet to explore, but so far, I am really happy with this new phone and the service I received at Best Buy.

    This is my third galaxy phone, and it has been an amazing purchase. It's fast, the apps work great, and it has provided me with great service. It's thin and light, easy to carry. Love it!

    Phone has been great! I had to play with the settings after the first few days since my data usage went thru the roof, but after getting everything set and adjusted it has been great! Battery will last a day with light usage, but if a medium to heavy user, carry around the rapid charger and you will be good.

    I upgraded from the s3 to the s6. Completely seemed transition everything the s3 did the s6 did better. Only drawback I see is the batery. I knew it wasn't removable, they don't tell you it's also smaller with a much smaller battery life than older models. Otherwise everything about this phone is great.

    Falls Short of Expectations

    I'm a long-time, loyal Samsung phone user so I was excited to get the Galaxy S6. Unfortunately, the excitement was short lived. This phone is "buggy". It started out being fast, really fast, but it wasn't long before it started to bog down and become agonizingly slow. It appears Samsung and Google are aware of this problem because Samsung has already developed a "fix" for it and is doing over-the-air updates on the phones gradually. I'm still waiting for my update. Another highly annoying feature is the limited customization of notification reminders. While I can set which apps give me notifications and I can turn off notifications when desired, I am stuck with Notification Reminders. If I don't immediately clear a notification the phone will remind me with audible reminders at specifically set intervals. I can choose the interval, but a 5 minute interval is the maximum so if I don't clear a notification my phone will sound a reminder every 5 minutes until I clear it. The other option is to have no notifications, or put the phone on silent all the time. Really Samsung? Please bring back the option of No Notification Reminders. As I continue to learn the phone I find things that are good but also things that I'm less than thrilled with. Overall, the various little "buggy" things I keep finding create more annoyances than I would expect from the newest phone from Samsung. It makes me miss my previous versions.

    I had the Galaxy S5 and was very happy with it, so I upgraded to the S6. The S6 is faster with performing basic needs of a phone. I'm not a social media guy, so I can not review the functionability on the social media realm. The two things that are missed on the S6 from S5 is that the Galaxy S6 is not waterproof and there is no expandable memory you can add yourself.

    This phone was worth waiting for. Sleek, quick, very intuitive, great camera, screen clarity is impressive. I think it is as good or better than any iPhone I have seen used and has better battery life than all of my friends iPhones

    Big change from my flip phone

    So far so good. I've had a flip phone for nearly 11 years, so the S6 is taking a bit to get used to but I'm learning something new every day. The S6 is easy to explore on and do things that I didn't expect. I've use the Google Maps device to find my way around Washington DC and have loved the Samsung Milk Music. Definitely a great phone for the 60+ population.

    Honestly I don't see much change for better or worse. I did not know about the no replacement battery until I had it in the bag. The batteries always need to be replaced long before it's trade in time. I hope this does not prove to be a problem. Overall I am not impressed or unimpressed.
