Introduction
Samsung is currently the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world
However
Many aren't aware that it had recently lost its crown to Apple — its arch rival. That was mainly due to the low number of sales of its last year's
A spectacular camera. Better than the iPhone 6 Plus—yep
We said it
Big improvement in materials. Glass and aluminum make this Galaxy actually feel like it's worth the price tag

The editors didn't like
The glass back is slick but it's also
Well
Slick. The way it can just sliiiiiiide down your hand is an ultra drag. (Except it doesn't drag. Because it's slick. I digress.) But
Unlike my glass-backed Nexus 4 that I swear had an actual death wish
The Ga
TouchWiz is still bad. The Flipboard home screen is a laggy hack. Apps hide the status bar for no reason. Things look different for no reason. Your OS looks like TouchWiz
But you'll be using an entire ecosystem of Material Design apps
The G6 supports al
Subpar battery life
Glass construction can be slippery and fragile
Lacks removable battery and SD card slot present on previous models
User interface less polished and attractive than Google's core Android Lollipop OS
Awkward hybrid button configurati
Lack of Water and Dust protection
Lack of a MicroSD slot
PWM across all brightness levels
Powerful hardware
Broad support for wireless chargers
Dramatically improved camera hardware
Improved fingerprint reader (a touch reader as opposed to the awkwardtouse swipe system)
Less preinstalled bloatware
The downsides
Expensive
Wireless chargi
Auto focus can be slow in low light
Lowlight images look a little grainy
Builtin flash is weak
Playback navigation and file sorting could be improved
No highlight peaking with manual focus
Sealed battery with average endurance
No microSD card
No expandable storage or removable battery
Shorter battery life than Galaxy S5
Speaker performance is subpar compared to other products we tested
Longtime fans will bristle at the Galaxy S6's nonremovable battery and absent expandable storage. The phone has an intensely reflective backing and looks embarrassingly like the iPhone 6. Battery life
While good
Falls short of last year's Galaxy
No expandable memory
Speaker placement
Lack of stereo speakers. Price
Battery downgrade
Average battery life
Edge screen is gimmicky
Non removable battery
No micro SD card slot

Smudge-loving surfaces
Non-expandable storage
There's still a bit of bloatware to contend with
Still too much TouchWiz. The phone can feel a little slick in your hands. A lot of bloatwarebut at least you can remove it
Nonreplaceable battery
No microSD slot
Not water/dust resistant
Battery life Battery life is average overall and a little shorter than the Galaxy S5
Software still needs work
Curved screen mostly a gimmick
Poor battery life
Slippery construction
Inconsistent software performance

Lack of expandable storage
Battery not replaceable
Battery life average - just over one day with typical usage
Camera sticks out and can get damaged somewhat easily

Samsung has done a great job with the Galaxy S6. With the exception of needing to buy a case, so it doesn't slip out of your pocket (or anywhere else), and a not-so-great (but decent) battery life, the S6 is a great phone for the person that wants pow...
Overall, there is no denying the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a pretty excellent smartphone. The days of Samsung being pegged as having a less than premium build on their flagship are over thanks to the metal and glass design, which not only looks amazing, but...
