    Issues With Screen

    So I purchased this phone about two months ago and it worked beautifully from the start. The design is sleek and it runs effortlessly. However, out of the blue after months of taking care of this phone a patch of blue, what looked like ink, showed up in the top left corner of the screen. I removed my case and screen protector to check if it was the protector and it wasn't. So I figured I'd take it later to get fixed. Ten minutes later more purple spots showed up in random spots on my screen. Finally, an hour after the first stain appeared y entire screen is a shade of hot pink. I have turned it off and on multiple times and the pink is still there. Confused and upset, I went to the internet only to find similar complaints about this same issue with people who've recently purchased the S6. I have always loved Galaxy's and this is highly upsetting. If you purchase this phone buy it with an extensive protection plan and do not assume it will work perfectly fine because it's new. I will be seeking help with this issue soon but I fear facing replacement issues because I bought it unlocked, without a carrier. I would be very upset if I find that this issue, which was in no way provoked by negligent behavior on my part, can't or won't be solved and I've wasted $530.

    This is a great phone....wonderful camera ...really crisp pictures . The phone is a nice upgrade from the S5 however my only aught is that it has no microSD card slot or the phone....it is operating under similar to iPhone....I miss my storing my photos and stuff on the SD card. If anything happens to the phone it is system operated the probability of retrieving the photos would be a little more difficult.

    The Galixy S6 is a great phone and I am very pleased with its performance. I really like the battery life, I can use this phone all day and still have power to spare. The only reason that I did not rate this phone with five stars is that I would have liked to have a micro SD slot as is the case with previous Galixy phones. The only other negative is that the phone is very slippery so you will need a good case to address this little problem.

    I just had Best Buy help transfer my contacts, apps etc. from my S3 to the S6, using "smart switch" by Samsung. It all went smoothly. This S6 is the unlocked version, so I am able to use it with my no contract carrier (T-Mobile). The phone is sleek and works well; no hiccups. It takes beautiful pictures! I was quite happy with my older phone, but needed a phone to pass on to my teenager, so I got the new one to enjoy. :)

    Got this phone after my galaxy s5 poofed out on me.. so far is been great all around, I just don't like that their is no SD slot and that I can no longer use an extended battery as the battery is hardwired in. I also find that some external charging devices won't work too well with this phone... one will completely discharge when you plug it in.

    The Galaxy S7 will come out in the first quarter of 2016, so there isn't much more time when the Galaxy S6 reviewed here will be a flagship phone. However, for the price I paid for the unit (under 450) it was a fine deal for a fully unlocked phone. The unit works well with both ATT and Tmobile phones.

    What sold me on this phone was the camera quality and screen, wow, really good work as always by samsung, the bottom speaker, eh, I prefer them on the front. Only reason for giving it 4 stars, is the battery life, battery life on my unit was so poor, really bummed me out. Over all, great phone.

    I mainly bought this for the camera. Just amazing for the simple ready to shoot situations. The lack of an sd card slot and replaceable battery are the cons of this.

    This has been my first ever Samsung phone, and I absolutely love it. It has all the features I want and need. The Display is crisp and HD. I also have the ability to personalize it however I choose. The storage space is also very nice and I can hold everything I need on the 32GB Provided. I had a 16GB before and it got a bit full quick. This one is perfect. The Display is also the perfect size with a 5.1 Inch Display. I am also pleased with the folders and how I can store as many apps in a folder as I please. Overall, I have taken a well-acquainted liking to the Samsung Galaxy S6 by Samsung.

    I do not like the selection of emojies with this phone. My LG which is alot less quality had alot better selection of them. It has a large capacity of storage and it takes very high quality of pictures. I bought this phone because it was an unlocked phone. I wanted to have the freedom to go to any phone carrier and not be trapped. If Best Buy would havevhad Iphones I would have bought it instead but this was my second choice. Its easy to use.

    Samsung is one of the leading representatives for the Android Community. This is my first Samsung phone that I have had and I absolutely love it because of the ease to use and the different variety of settings that I can customize with. I needed an Unlocked phone to use with T-Mobile. I got it for only $450 during a weekly deal. I decided to upgrade from my previous phone, the LG Nexus 5.
