This has been a disappointing cell phone from the beginning because of a very poor battery life, even with low screen brightness and little use the battery does not last a day.

My 5 year old phone broke so I needed a new one . Went to best buy in Williamsburg VA . I had already made up my what phone I thought I wanted . I just wanted to see it and see how it felt and was constructed. I talked to three different employees yes all three were glad to help me . It was great service , I felt like everyone of them actually cared about doing their job that's a rare feeling in this day and age. After talking to them and hearing 3 different views they changed my mind on the phone I wanted . They didn't up sell me both phones cost the same . I'm glad they changed my mind the other phone I was looking at is now getting bad rewiews on line and it appears to be having service failures . The Best Buy employees were ahead of the game from being on the front lines .
The phone is great it has a big screen that is easy to read . Works fast , has plenty of storage,looks and feels great .

Great Upgrade

I upgraded from a Droid RAZOR Maxx to the S6. What a difference. The S6 has a big bright screen, the apps load fast, and is full of usable features. I got the S6 a week ago and I am still finding cool things it is capable of doing. Love the ability to automatically go into car mode when I connect to blue tooth in the car. Easily set up personal ringtones for each family member. Battery lasts all day, but if I have an evening event it needs a little power boost.

I loved this until 6 months in and my prongs bent on the charging port internally. Even though this is a known issue with Samsung they would not cover it under the warranty because I damaged it. Sad that just plugging it in to charge can cause damage to a phone. Traded it in on an iPhone.

Had an S3 that I really liked. The S6 has so many issues I do not have the time to list them all. I doubt I will purchase Samsung again.

I love everything about the performance of this phone and the charging pad is fun as well. However, my battery life is pretty horrific even with taking battery life saving efforts. I still like the phone but just carry around some extra juice when I am out and about.

Home button wakes phone in pocket - can't disable
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The home button wakes the phone and turns the screen on. The button is activated with such a light touch that the phone will turn on in my pocket making my battery life tank. What's more if listening to music or a podcast the button will turn on the phone and then random touches will make the music skip. Pressing the home button twice activates the camera. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THIS BUTTON SHORT OF ROOTING THE PHONE. If you plan to carry this phone in your pocket, then be warned that you will have 1/2 the battery life, skipped music and a bunch of photos of our pocket. If there was a way to disable the home button this would be a fantastic phone, but as is, the thing is junk.

I admit, I am not a fan of TouchWiz, however, this is the first Galaxy device that makes TouchWiz hardly noticeable. I am in love with the screen. And the camera is definitely a huge selling point. Android 5.0 is taking awhile to get use to (why is copy & paste so difficult) but this phone is the best Android has to offer imo. That is until the Galaxy Note 5 is released. All in all, I am quite content.

I was stuck between this and iPhone 6. I chose this because it was cheaper so far works well love the split window and pop up window feature. But a couple of my apps are glitchy. Really really fast. Love the fast charging.

Black Sapphire, NOT Black
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
FYI Only... the color is Black Sapphire, not Black. The phone is dark blue to me... which is why Sapphire is part of the color name. I love this color. If you are expecting Black Black, then let this review be a notice that it is NOT Black Black.
I recently upgraded from the HTC One M7. The M7 was my very first smartphone... very late to the party, I know. When I got the M7 two plus years ago, it was between it and the most recent Samsung Galaxy. The M7 was free (Black Friday), and the Samsung was not. And while I loved the M7, a Samsung is what I really wanted. I only buy Samsung TVs, and will now likely only buy Samsung smartphones and tablets. Very nice product.

Samsungs worst flagship phone
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Ive had this phone for ~3 months now and it is so full of issues and downsides they hardly make it a worthy upgrade from the S5.
The limited storage is the biggest issue so far. Carriers and apps are not ready for cloud storage so why would you get rid of the SD card slot???
Now that it supports GearVR, the storage limitation fails even more.. every VR experience is 700-1400MB for a few minutes of 3D video. Of course.. that is all the hpone is good for (a few minutes of 3d Video) before it overheats and needs to take a break.
Attaching the phone via USB to transfer files feels so dated... and if the phone dies your data is lost as opposed to being on a MicroSD card.
The smaller battery mixed with higher resolution screen is a mega fail.
Its super slippery.. you HAVE to have a case with this phone.
PROS:
MST makes samsung pay 1000x more useful than apple/android pay.
Fast charging and built in QI charging is great.
Anyway.. wait for the S7, the leaks suggest it is fixed many of the issues people have with the S6.. most importantly the SD card slot.

Nice phone, but with a non removable battery, no sd card slot & not being waterproof makes it less then better for me. I will wait for these features to come back as they have their advantages over the S6.

Loved my Samsung Galaxy S4 so decided on the Galaxy S6 for my replacement phone. I liked the idea of the water resistant S7 but normally don't get the latest model 1) to save money and 2) to allow time for the manufacturer to get the bugs out. This worked out especially good for me this time. I would not hesitate to get the S7 for my next phone now that the battery problem has been addressed.

phone sucks - overrated

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Wifi does not work on this phone. Web pages crawl and take minutes. Once I switch to LTE, its fine. This is for any wife router, not just at home. Complete waste of money. Good thing Samsung and wireless providers tested this out.
Aside from that, the phone is so slippery as the back glass design was a poor choice. Didn't the iPhone 3 have a glass back? What is the point? So its more fragile?
Android OS is completely buggy and unprofessional. You have a billion notifications and options to turn off or on and you have disable almost all features just so your battery does not drain by mid day. It's like you have a job once you buy this phone and you have to baby it and constantly fiddle with it. The Android operating system is complete garbage. If you are a loser and have time to mess around with stuff and are ok with things not working that you paid for, then by all means buy this phone.
