Samsung - Galaxy S6 4G LTE with 64GB Memory Cell Phone - White Pearl (Verizon)

Long time Samsung user. Decided to update to the S6 from an S5. The S6 seems to be faster then the S5 in many ways I don't like the fact there is no external SD CARD or removable battery but I knew that going into this purchase. I decided to go with the 64gb version and I'm glad I did. The camera is great and is ready to take a pic with 2 taps of the home button. There is no lag like there was with the S5 camera. The biometric system on here is much better then the S5 in every way. Battery life isn't as nice as the S5 but with the rapid charger and the wireless charging this more then makes up for it. So far I'm very happy with the phone. However when it came to purchasing the device the store tried activating the phone by what the outside sleeve said it was. I was supposed to be activating a s6 64gb by Verizon but they found out the phone wouldn't activate and the reason was the phone in the package was a S6 Edge 32gb by Sprint. This took over an hour of phone calls by me and by the store to resolve this issue and fix my account with Verizon. In the end the store did discount my purchase but I started this purchase at 830pm and didn't leave the store until 11pm. All in all they made it right and I'm happy.

The phone is great, the best phone in the world. Big size, fast, easy, very good.

There are definitely some very nice features about the phone that distinguish it from other android devices, the camera is incredible, the screen quality is superb (you will immediately notice how nice and sharp the pictures look on it from your SG6 camera), the overall hardware performance is solid and snappy, and the aesthetic design is strong. Throw in some key features such as a double tap home button to pull up the camera, a fingerprint sensor that works pretty well to unlock your phone, and wireless charging (you don't need a special case, and if you buy a case, it works fine as I have an Otterbox Commuter case), and you'll have a lot to be happy about with this phone. However, there a few drawbacks, the call quality and speaker could be slightly better, the battery life is good but leaves a lot to be desired, there is no water resistance, there is no expandable memory (goodbye microSD card), and no replaceable battery. When you pick up the phone, all of those small drawbacks disappear and it become fairly easy to forget. Yet, in the back of your mind, you'll know that there is still a great deal of potential for a better device in the future.

I bought this phone for three reasons...Camera...the best...love it. Screen...I can SEE this screen in direct sunlight...WOW! and last but certainly not least is SAMSUNG PAY which should be available by the end of the year...with magnetic stripe payment...a real PLUS till everyone goes NFC. I'm glad Gold Platinum was available by the time my upgrade was available. I chose the 64 GB because I like Lots of pictures and Lots of Music stored on the phone. Samsung has an offer till 07-05-15 buy a 64 and Samsung will give you $100...what's not to like. If you're not a power user battery life is OK. I love the fast memory and Processor. OK the downside...I lost my cool ringer tunes from my S3...don't really care for the new ones but the positive points far outweigh the negative. BUY THIS PHONE!!! I use a UAG ice case to show off the color.

I recently had to replace my Motorola Razr Maxx HD and had the pleasure of getting a Samsung Galaxy S6. I chose the S6 for its speedy response times and excellent reviews on other sites. I was not disappointed. Obvious to most android enthusiasts, the S6’s display is probably one of the best HD displays ever made. It is a Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560, capable of 16M colors. The display is so sharp that I don’t feel bad watching Netflix on it instead of my plasma TV. If you turn up the brightness 100% and happen to be in a dark room, chances are you’ll squint once or twice. And the blacks the phone produces are the truest black I’ve experienced on the 5 smartphones I’ve owned in the past. Yes, the display is just that good. One of the positives about the S6 is its back facing the camera. The image it takes is so crystal clear that it puts other competing phones to shame (HTC One H9 comes to mind). The photos and videos it takes are extremely high-end. Technical specifications include a 16 MP camera in the back and a 5 MP camera in the front. I primarily use the frontward camera for video conferencing, many have told me that the image is extremely crisp and high resolution. A huge negative? No removable SD card. I highly recommend getting a phone with the largest storage capacity you can afford. For me, I purchased the 64-gig. Like with any android, 10 GB is taken up by Lollipop. Out of the box images taken with the backward facing camera will likely use a lot of space if you’re like me, make liberal use of cloud storage. The Battery: One of the largest complaints is the battery life. Some reviewers are going to flat out lie to you and tell you that they last on a full charge for 24 hours with moderate use and without the need to charge it. My “moderate use” includes ensuring nothing unessential is running in the background, low brightness, using the basic power saving mode and only turning off and on the display every half hour or so (and not for long). You will be charging it during the day if you use the phone heavily. But the charges are so fast that it really doesn't matter a hell of a lot. To be clear: the phone will not last you a whole day on 1 charge if you use it more than what I would call “moderate use.” But one of the plus sides is that Fast Charging is superfast. My best friend has an H9 and that Quick Charge is a joke compared to Samsung Fast Charge: from 40% battery, you should be ready to go in less than a half hour. The Fast Charge almost makes up for the small battery life (small by comparison to the Razr Maxx HD I had at any rate). To be fair, the battery isn’t that big of a deal as long as you have a car charger and the Fast Charger handy. I can’t vouch for using it in stores that use wireless charging as stores in my area don’t do that (you’re lucky if they have public WiFi here). A smart, energy efficient android user will have only a little gripe about the battery life: the phone’s others features are totally worth it. This phone happens to be extremely fast. I suppose the same could be said for any modern smartphone but it just feels much quicker than others that I’ve used. I could bore you with tech specs like the use of the Exynos chipset utilizing a quad-core processor but it’s pointless: transitioning between apps has made this multitasker extremely happy. The Lollipop split/multi-screen views are a must for anyone that toy with only 1 app at a time (though this functionality is cool, many apps don’t support it, most Google ones do though). Gesture and motion support is an obvious plus, anyone with a Samsung smartphone will be familiar with these and they require no further explanation. Actual voice calls (hey, these things do that?) are of high quality and leaves nothing to be desired. Having heard myself on a friend’s voicemail, I am left only with the eerie feeling that my voice truly sucks. Not because of the phone though! The construction and design is top notch. I opted for the Black Sapphire and I’m extremely pleased with the way it looks and feels in the hand (though you’ll probably want the Zagg Glass screen protector and an Otterbox case… as much as a shill as that makes me sound!). The phone itself does get warm with heavy use but I’ve never found it nearly as hot as my old Razr Maxx HD. I gladly recommend the Samsung Galaxy S6 to anyone in the market for a new smartphone!

Traded up from my S4. Really enjoy the phone as it works well and is fast. The camera is much better especially the shutter speed. Far fewer blurry pictures. The call quality is good. The applications work well even though there is the usual preloaded stuff I was just as soon do without. We purchased the phone on the plan over two years which ended up saving us some money in the long run due to how the plans were adjusted. If you decide to buy this phone, watch for deals and make sure to do the math to determine which deal is the best. Also, I recommend getting a case for it to keep from damaging it.

When the time came for my family to upgrade their phones, almost everyone wanted the new iPhone 6. They all had android phones but were convinced that the best one to get was the iPhone and yes, they are all very happy with their iPhones. As for myself, while I'm an Apple fan, I'm a bit tired of Apple saying their the best when they're actually behind in technology. I compared the Samsung Galaxy S6 to the iPhone 6 and found that Samsung is about two years ahead in technology and features. The S6 has a quad HD screen as compared to Full HD, faster processors, a 16 MP camera as well as a 5 MP front facing camera, and wireless charging. I'm very pleased with the call clarity and how well the phone adapts to different networking configurations. I would highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy S6 to those who want an excellent phone with superior technology.

The phone has many great features. The camera is amazing for HD photos as well video. Very fast downloads and processing as well. Unfortunately it heats up quite fast and battery life is short when using phone for games and other graphic. Overall great phone but hope they resolve these small matters
