    Still better than an apple product...

    Samsung is not permitting the user to insert memory sticks like they once allowed. Samsung is going the way of apple by requiring the user to purchase the phone with the pre-determined amount of memory already installed. This is one of my gripes with apple products. The rep said that the back cannot come off the phone anymore to access the battery, and since the memory stick went next to the battery, neither can be accessed anymore. All else is about the phone is pretty cool... I upgraded from a galaxy 3, and it was hard to decide between the note and the galaxy. Since the galaxy had the latest technology, I chose it. If the new note was out, I would have chosen the note. Now I use my Galaxy 3 (with a 32 GB stick) as an "iPod" to play music... It works great, and has retained many functional Wi-Fi features, just no phone capabilities... So keep your old galaxy as an MP3 player!

    This phone is my favorite so far. The camera takes great pictures. It is easy to navigate. The screen is big enough for me to see clearly, but not so big that the phone doesn't fit in my pocket.

    I had an S3 and this phone is a massive improvement. Much faster, can handle multiple applications open at the same time without slowing down. The battery life is great, I can go a day with medium use without needing a charge, with heavy use I find I need to put it on the charger sometime in the evening (heavy use = streaming music will using other applications). Also, the quick charge cord that comes with the phone is awesome, only a half hour will get you about 30% back. The camera is much improved and it seems like the focus ability is much better than previous versions. The screen resolution is great, videos and pictures look great on this phone.

    Great Phone So Far

    The S6 is a great phone with much better battery life than older models. Takes great pictures and fingerprint log in works well. Voice calls seems clearer as well. The quick charger is a great feature, although the phone gets pretty toasty during the charging period. I purchased a desktop wireless charger from Verizon that makes overnight charging and grabbing the phone in the a.m. very simple. Ample memory so I don't miss the memory card slot. This is my second Samsung phone and I'm happy with the purchase.

    Great camera. Fast. Was able to use chargers I already had from old flip phones. Only negative thing I have is battery life is not as good as iphone 4 that I had.

    I just upgraded from a Galaxy S4 and I'm really glad I did. I liked my S4 and was hesitant to upgrade, but the new S6 is faster and better in just about every way. The battery lasts longer and the photos it takes are WAY better than my S4. I do wish it had a removable memory card, but I'll learn to live without it. I'm not a fan of how it feels in your hand without a case, but that wasn't a factor for me since I planned on getting a case anyway.

    Great phone, not great battery

    Phone is close to being a flagship model, but isn't quite there. The battery life is disappointing. It will not last a full day under what I consider normal smartphone usage. It was operating very fluidly at first, but has become a tad sluggish. Nothing alarming at the moment, but I fear it will become that way after several more months. The camera is outstanding however. Probably what you'd expect for a new phone that doesn't have the bugs worked out.

    I LOVE my new Samsung Galaxy S6. I used to have the S3 and I thought that was still good, until I got the S6...it's faster, bigger, takes way better pictures, and I love how the customization features have been updated. I use my phone a lot for music and I was not disappointed. The sound quality is awesome and all of my album covers are displayed. It's AWESOME!!!

    A huge step up from my old Galaxy S3. I was concerned about the battery life, but it has rarely been a problem. No lock ups or major fails. The camera is spectacular and fast to start up.

    this device is one of samsung's strongest and fastest devices. The graphics and camera are bar none in the android field and keeps me thoroughly grounded in android technology. Apple is going to be playing catch up with this device for it's compatibility and resticted soft and hardware issues, This device is the next generation of android.

    When I walked into the store, I wasn't sure if I was going to get this one or the S5. The S5 has a removable/replaceable battery and I could add a memory card. This one has a faster processor and an improved camera. I'm not sure what tipped the scales in favor of the S6, but that's what I ended up getting. The camera really is sweet.Very quick response, unlike some of the older Samsung cameras where your subject got bored and left before the camera could lurch into action.

    I "upgraded" from a Samsung S3 to the S6. The S6 has a sturdy build, nice feel and a good screen. The S6 responds quickly and has good call quality. I'm disappointed with Samsung's decision to eliminate the SD card and use a non replaceable battery. It's very Apple like... which I DISLIKE. I still use my S3 to stream my music via Bluetooth because of the storage limitations of the S6.

    Not impressed with the price, and the same device just slightly bigger. Phone has some delay in closing apps and showing icons. Camera is fantastic, PICS are amazing. Purchased for my wife because her S4 quit working. Sometimes I wonder if the updates you download are meant to screw the phone up, so you buy a new one. Overall pleased with the purchase. Way better than our previous Iphones

    I love my new phone, Casey Mortensen helped me pick it out. She was mentioning to me that she's an Iphone person but she'd upgrade to the Galaxy S6 if she could. The quality of the camera is great! That's mainly what I use it for. Internet is fast, phone is clear and typing is easy on this phone. I am overall very satisfied with this purchase! We will be going back in the next few months to pick another one up for my fiance. Thanks again Best Buy!
