I'll keep this short...I love, love, LOVE this tablet. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxLNmVocUk8tnSkwWIlYSNFzWRIaFTBuzS The picture quality is amazing and there are so many features that this technodino can't wait to learn! My only (very, very minor) complaint is that I ordered this in bronze and they sent me black. Yes, it should have been corrected, but we were only in country for a short period of time and I didn't want to run the risk of not getting a new one in time. I'm such a fan of Samsung Galaxy tablets that I'd rather suck it up than lose out on having it. In the big scheme of things, this rates an irritant factor of .0000000001 out of 1000. In other words, I'm not looking at the colors when I use it, so I got over it very easily.
kotan80 Samsung = driver of technological advancement = high tech company that actually commits money into R&D and manufactures high tech parts. Apple = driver of market monopoly and greed = low tech company that doesn't make any new technology.
FrenchVoyeur LMFAO! Apple has created loads and so have Samsung, saying Apple havent done anything is pathetic and childish, another Android fan trying to fuck off Apple, not going to lie this S6 looks ALOT like the new 6 and 6 plus, and that fingerprint sensor seems similar to.... i would just stop saying silly things if i were you, just like the phone for what it is, good products sell themselves and dont slate others.
Ahh, FrenchVoyeur, it appears that you're one of "them." As far as specs go, Samsung, for the most part, is leaps and bounds ahead of iPhones. But my great disappointment is that Samsung has pretty much given up any hope of having a phone DESIGN of their own. In all honesty, sometimes I get the Samsung S6 mixed up with the latest iDevice. This was a blatant, open design copy directly from iPhones. Don't get me wrong, I would take this phone over an iPhone any day, but frankly, the S6 sucks. A lot. You claim that Apple is all about money and monopolies, but this is exactly what the Galaxy S6 is. They want you to pay MORE for more memory. They want you to pay MORE for a case. They want you to pay MORE for the phone in general. The S5 was the last USEFUL Samsung phone. They are now no better then iPhone. Also, I would like you to specify that your opinion is about Samsung *PHONES* and not Samsung. Almost every other device that Samsung creates in competition to Apple is horrible. Their tablets don't stand a chance, their computers are weak, and their software is HORRIBLE. That said, all of the Galaxy devices PRIOR to the S6 were "better" than iPhones (if you ignore running systems and skins that are pretty much unusably laggy). In my opinion, Samsung phones can't even touch how much better LG or HTC devices are. Even Sony. You make fun of iFanboys, but you yourself are no better, simply screaming from the other side.
To all the fanboys of apple this is actually great, if Samsung actually hits iPhone sales, well my friends that would cause Apple to actually improve the next iPhone
And that, my dearest friend, is the proof that most Android users are butthurt, insecure fanboys. On a Samsung phone review, the first thing yor hurt butt can think of is how much the iPhone, according to you, sucks. Stick to your Galaxy Fame, peasant. And this is coming from an HTC One M7, jailbroken iPad 3, Gaming PC, 2012 13" MacBook Pro Retina, PSP and other secondary gadget owner. I'm also planning to replace my phone with the SGS6. That means I'm not a (notice the poor grammar) "asshol fangirl!!!¡!1111one Iship;;;; open sorse ftwwwww." Brand loyalty is, seriously, the most retarded thing I've ever seen.
I dont understand why must the capacitive key lights turn off, and only turn on when you swipe. I get super annoyed using my sister's samsung when that happens, it could be just me, but i just dont get it.
When I want to see a review of a phone that I liked, I`m always searching for Pocketknow because I love how they review their phones. Hice work guys keep like this :)
Phillip Pugh Hell yeah bro! You will love the Galaxy S6. The Galaxy S6 is the best designed and most technologically advanced smartphone in the industry, period.
Nice Gordon Lightfoot reference there Michael. Looks like a great device, yet I feel something about it is lacking... I'm happy with my Moto X 2014 either way.
Isaac Abraham Michael does a good job of optimism in his reviews while not holding back from the shortcomings. The software is what ultimately broke the deal for me and why I went with the Nexus. Firstly, 5.0-5.0.2 have issues as he experienced with memory regardless of how much RAM you have. 5.1 has given me none of the issues on a Motorola as I experienced on 5.0. So the current version combined with slower SW updates (yes slow is relative but I want them ASAP) and the UI force closes from random applications in my opinion is inexcusable in 2015.
I agree with you to an extent. The shortcomings for a Samsung device would nearly always be the lack of product support and software updates. Surely for the first few months they will take care of the existing issues that are widely spread such as 5.0.2, but in due time the S6 will be forgotten and left behind. Regardless, it is the mentioned battery life that I know for certain will make regret the purchase in the long haul, which is realistically about a year.
1 year of normal charge cycles shouldn't impact the battery performance in a year if that is what you mean. Otherwise you imply you will get tired of charging it often? I agree, it is tedious and exhausting. I cannot blame them for releasing the phone with the latest available lollipop for the tech world would shun Samsung for waiting till 5.1 . It will be 3-6 months realistically until they provide an update assuming carriers don't hold back. Another reason I went with Nexus.
Its not its not necessarily the hassle of having to charge the phone daily. But more of being in a real world situation where you are suffering the worst case scenario and your phone is nearly depleted because it was decided to play a seldom video game on the off chance. The Nexus series and what it offers is how other phone manufacturers should treat their flagship devices. My strongest buying points in purchasing would lie in the camera, fluidity of the software, reliant updates to keep to speed and battery life. But unfortunately Nexus devices always tend to pay little attention to the camera software.
Richard Richard Yeah 5.0.1 was buggy as hell on my Nexus 5 with abysmal performance. Constant stutters, lags, background apps being unnecessarily killed, homescreen launcher redraws, app crashes etc. 5.1 is much, much better - but the infamous memory bug is still lurking there. I've had the phone completely bog down on rare occasions with 5.1 but it was a pretty much constant occurrence in 5.0.1. Lollipop's gradually getting where it needs to be, but still needs a bit more refining. The memory leak/background app killing bug needs to be obliterated once and for all.
I really enjoy the detail that goes into each Pocketnow review. The combination of the Michael's awesome voice and the diverse shots of the phone always make it an enjoyable watch!
The Note 5 is going to be twice as amazing and I would bet end up being the phone of the year. This was a great evolution for Samsung. the Note 5 will benefit and improve on whats learned from the s6.
Well one thing i see from the video is software problems. My question is does this happen with a international version with no carrier bloat as much? Then One thing i don't get is why Samsung removed water resistance? Wouldn't it be easier to make the GS6 water Resistance because the back is sealed and not removable like the GS5, it would be nice to have that, for that one unlucky time in the year or 2 you own the phone.
Is it just me, or does the "No SD cards or battery replacing" thing start to seem like not such a big deal the more you see it? I went from "Lol fuck that phone" to "Hmm.. I kinda want this now"
Yea I agree with you guys x) I was on the edge about the battery, since my S3's charging port busted, but I've managed to get away with charging the battery in an external charger. So my hopes is just that the charging port is just a bit tougher .-.
Lol that's what I said when I saw the video of S6 but I held the phone and everything changed. I want this ✆ now even though doesn't have ex battery & ex storage 😁
Nexus 5 user here. I've taken to carrying around small external USB power banks with me when I'm away from charger for a while. The 32GB memory is manageable but for my next phone I'll probably go for 64GB or 128GB, which will be plenty for me. The Galaxy S6 is tempting me but I'm trying to wait until the end of the year to see whether Google puts out a refreshed Nexus 5. If not I'll get whatever is best at that point in time.
Frankie Hiltz It's not just you. At first, I didn't even wanna hear about this phone. Then I actually started thinking and realized that I never needed more than 32 GB on my phone, thanks to Dropbox, and I NEVER EVER replaced, or had a spare battery. So I just decided to order this, fuck it. Wanted Note 4 at first, but better screen, better camera, better processor, better TouchWiz... Not worth it anymore.
Guys I didn't understand why you're so hard with the S5. I have the s5 and in my opinion is an amazing phone. Fast, reliable, and to me looks great. Yes the s6 might have another feeling but the S5 is great too.
I understand that... But my point is that now almost everyone is saying that S5 pretty much is crap... When is not... is a great smartphone just now the older version of something well made
leonardo zepeda I think the main reason for the praise is that Samsung finally addressed (or improved) some issues people have been complaining about for years (build, Touchwiz). Even though many didn't necessarily have a problem with the plastic before
wade18 the plastic was one of the best parts. I can drop my s5 from like 12 feet onto concrete and have a good chance it is unbroken. the s6 will be hard to match that from 3 feet.
Dude, Michael. Your reviews have always been great, and they seem to just keep getting better. This is probably my favorite review from you. I can't stand Samsung smartphones, yet I was completely enamored with this review. Seriously thought anout buying one. LOL! Bravo my friend, keep up the good work!
Man people are seriously underestimating the amount of people that don't like the fact that their no sd card or removable battery. When you download app and take a lot of pictures and videos and download music all that slows your phone down. At least with and sd card you can put all you music and video, pictures, and even some apps on to your ad card so it won't clog your phone down.
***** I remember I had the motorola photon back 2011. I ordered 2 extra batteries from amazon I would leave out and be gone all day when I got home I would still have one whole battery that wasn't used. And the batteries were thin I could put three of them in my side pocket and I feel them. I have a lg g2 now with a non removable 3000mah battery but I have to carry around a ravepower battery pack and it's kind of annoying. I just don't see how people don't care about this. So you got a carry around your charger everywhere you go and look for outlet. Plus companies like samsung and htc still for some reason refuse to a 3000mah or higher in their phones. Im not talking about phablets just the flagship s series and the htc one series phones.
***** wrong I have a lg g2 no sd card slot and my phone was running slow with all the pictures and music I had and apps it was slowing it down. I did a reset and it boots up faster when I turn it off and on it cuts on faster. When I had my samsung s3 I had all my pictures ,video of family , apps and all my saved music on my sd card and because of that my s3 never slowed down or froze or anything.
Let me tell you why micro sd is superior to internal storage: In my country with the current exchange rate, the S6 32 gig model costs 821 dollars. The 128 gig model is 1210 dollars. The 32 gig model + a 128 gig sd card= 160 gigs of storage for 963 dollars. See? They ONLY dropped micro SD because they want more money. There is simply NO REASON AT ALL NOT TO INCLUDE A MICRO SD SLOT OTHER THAN WANTING MORE MONEY. Micro SD is superior to internal storage and anyone with a brain can see that. More storage for less money. And if the S6 had a 16 gig model, it would be 144 gigs with the SD card for about 150 bucks less. So you would pay 600 bucks and get more storage than the 1200 bucks model. And you can tell me that internal storage is faster, but that's another money bullshit. If manufacturers would start making storage as fast as they can possibly make them, they would cap out at around 400 mb/sec for sd cards. Yes, internal storage COULD go further, but at that point, it simply doesn't matter.
High quality sd cards r as expensive as higher variants.. And google doesnt allow installing apps to sd card anymore.. And it cause the phone to lag on long term.. Not really a big deal
***** Google doesn't have to allow installing apps to SD. Custom ROMs allow it just fine, I don't give a shit about how stupid Google is. It's once again, money. Google also makes more money by doing this, so they give other companies a reason to get more money. It's still stupid, pointless, money whore and sd cards are still superior, but there is A LOT of money involved in not using them.
***** 16 gigs is enough, but a 16 gig phone usually only 12 available. I personally use about 20, so my example really was just an example, not my real world usage scenario.
ok custom roms is sth very different.. i do now but wont when i buy the s6.. the quick camera is a killer feature that will make me stick to the stock rom
***** Well, some custom ROMs allow you to set actions for long press and double press. And The reason I don't buy Samsung is Knox. It makes rooting and flashing stuff stupidly difficult.
Got to play with the S6 and S6 Edge. As a Note 4 owner, the S6 Edge is so wonderful, it's the only phone I'd considering downsizing to. It was the black (blue sapphire) color, and I was pleased to see that fingerprints didn't show nearly as bad as in the videos I've seen. TW was buttery smooth and the screen is just gorgeous! The curve looks really cool with everything you do. Viewing pics wasn't weird at all. The edge options were kind of cool, too. Easily the best phones of the year, bar none. CrApple and HighTechCrap can fuck off!
No no man don't blame android for Samsung's lag and app crashes. HTC's flagships never lag and rarely ever crashes apps. Nor does the Sony Xperia Z series. No no don't blame 'Android phones' for Samsung's mistakes.
Not many Xperia's are running 5.0.2 or higher right now, which is where the complaints come from. And unless you own an M9 you can't make the argument for HTC either.
But Michael didn't specifically relate the lagging issue with the latest software. He related it with 'Android' in general. But if he had, I would agree with you. Although I own an Xperia z3 running android 5.0.2 and it works just like it did on KitKat.
***** I own the One M8 and have never had an app crash, or home screen redraw for me since the Lollipop update. Also since a recent HTC Playstore update, RAM management has also improved.
Great review as always Michael. First review that I have seen that mentions app crashes and other software issues. Glad to see Samsung finally have a great flagship.
I will. With a screen on time of only two hours I will be avoiding this. The only reason I'm ditching my S3 is because the battery is showing its age and the SD card slot is having issues. If the SD card slot was fine I would just buy a new battery and hold out for something better. Almost everything is better about the S6 over the M9 but the sound, battery life and processor. Battery life and good sound are important things to me.
Buggy and laggy, the reason why I will never permanently switch to Android. It's too bad, this is a nice looking phone. I have tried so many times but always seem to go back to the iPhone. It's so consistent and always just works. Hope it sells well though, competition is always good for everyone.
i've gotten bored of the iPhone software and hardware. This is why i want to switch to samsung galaxy S6/Note 4. In my opinion, i think they are great flagship phones.
miamicanesfan01 Switched to Android 3 years ago from iPhone and couldn't be happier. I still have an iPhone for work, and I only use it for work email. My Note 3 is neither buggy nor laggy. Sorry you had a lesser experience.
I'm not feeling the S6 mainly because it doesn't have MicroSD slot\Replaceable battery. I'm not the type that can go buy a new phone when it comes out and usually over the long haul batteries wear down and you will download more than you think you will initially. i'm disappointed that Samsung listened to tech press complaints of it having a "cheap feel" especially when majority of the people buying it won't leave the carrier without a "plastic cheap feeling" case to protect it from drops. Hopefully, the new Note will keep the "Function over Form" principles.
Right, looking to get the S6 but my only concern is battery life. What's the battery life like in a day with medium usage which includes messaging such as WhatsApp, internet surfing, Instagram, Snapchat, etc? These would be used throughout the day and perhaps some TH-cam as well - would love to hear everyones real life experience.
I have heard rumours about the Note 4 getting the S6 UX with the Android Lollipop 5.1 update. Thats going to be awesome, considering the Note 4 is already a fast and premium phone. It has been updated to Lollipop already but the 5.1 is going to bring an even more refined UX experience. Surprise me, Samsung.
Hey Mike I have an S5 and I noticed that when the phone is in Power Saving mode the capacitor buttons do not light up with every screen interaction, in fact they don't light up at all once in that mode. Just curious if that remains the same for the S6?
I don't know if this applies to the S6, but with my old S4 I could disable the backlights for the capacitive buttons so that they never turned on. It's should be in the settings.
Good thing I'll still be using Go Launcher EX on this baby; been waiting on my platinum gold preorder for a few days. Any Galaxy fan will be excited for this phone, save for the low battery life and the app crashes. Hopefully there will be remedies for that; at least the phone will charge very fast to make up for less battery longevity. Doesn't sound too good considering we can't remove the battery to begin to if we ever need to replace it completely, but it can't be THAT bad. Only time will tell -- thank you for the unbiased video, Michael!
I recently purchased both the S6 and Note 5, and was curious about a dual purpose these could serve. Do you think they could handle the job of testers for my games in Unreal Engine 4 since it is now compatible with the Android Mobile OS?
Please do respond if you could: During your time with the device did you have a problem with the touchwiz launcher repeatedly asking you to select a default launcher (between touchwiz home and touchwiz easy home)? Mine keeps asking me to select a default home launcher even tough i have selected the normal touchwiz home launcher as "always"
Hey. I got this Samsung Galaxy s6 and when you fail your fingerprint enough times a backup password will half to be entered. If you fail that 5 times it will factory reset the phone (delete everything on the phone) is there a way to change that?
Well right now I am feeling like this is not the best phone ever :-( I wished you had talked about how to upload videos to TH-cam or how to send a video text without having to trim your video,and then trimming it makes it blurry and the Galaxy S 6 it does not have a TH-cam share app... it comes with a TH-cam app where you can go on TH-cam and look at other videos, but when you try to upload a video to TH-cam there is no app when you hit the share button so now I'm feeling a little confused think I'm going to take this phone back to the store.....
here's something that I just found out. if you go into the google now settings and change your language to English(UK) ...when Google now talks back, it has a pretty cool accent :)
I don't understand why Pocketnow hasn't yet got even a million subscribers! They deserve the most subscribers for a tech channel because they're the best!
I've got My s6 edge in gold and I absolutely love it (its way better than any iphone coming from a previous iphone owner) it's screen is amazing and its camera takes great pictures
I dont really mind the non removable battery cuz people now bring along powerbanks. But what really bugs is that models with more memory is more pricy. Its cheaper to have an expandable storage.
@Michael you can turn off the key in the power saving mode while reading in the dark, that what I do with my note 4 and I'm sure samsung included that option in the s6 as well.
With my s6 edge I've seen wonky things within apps (I'm assuming its lollipop) but have yet to see any apps crash on me. I'm hoping the bug with cell standby and the weird things happening in some apps can go away through software update once the phone is technically out.
Can anyone explain to me what causes the HDR mode to turn off from auto? I tend to leave it on auto 90% of the time, but sometimes when I open the camera and snap a shot I'm shocked to find that HDR is off when I almost always leave it on auto. It's not a big deal but I'm not sure why it resets. If anyone could clue me in I would be very thankful.
i am confused, you said the S6 is the best samsung ever, but you excluded the NOTE 4, does this mean the NOTE 4 is a better device?? because in your NOTE 4 review you didnt say that it is that great...you criticized the performance, and the S6 outperforms it in this segment...
Just started my contract back in January with the S4 won't be able to get it unfortunately until my contract ends but by then I am assuming the s7 and the s8 will be out by the time my contract ends
Has anyone experienced the lag in the front facing camera? I turned off beauty mode(putting it to 0) and and still doesn't work :/ But when I turn on the wide selfie mode, the front facing camera was smooth. It only lags when I'm using a standard selfie mode. Any thoughts?
Odd, I got the AT&T version and its working extremely well the battery is actually better than people have said it was going to be, and I have only run into a problem with one app crashing.
I'm trying to decide between an iphone 6 and GS6. I'm a former apple nerd so I'm really torn and I was wondering if anyone here has been in the same spot and could give me some advice. Is this one better? I know some of you are "samsung forever" people, just like there are many "apple forever" people here, if you are one of those I don't need your help. But if you have some experience with both and can give some real advice, I would love to hear it!
Really good review Michael, very fair and honest IMO. I think the review also shows that there really is no perfect phone, Samsung have really stepped up on their hardware, display and camera, but software seems to have the same Touchwiz hiccups and the battery life does not seem to be of 2015 flagship expectation. Not to mention the omission of things that Samsung Knights held so dear.
People complained that it was ugly and felt cheap, now they're complaining that it's fragile and doesn't have the features they liked, I liked all of the "gimmicky" features, and used them. Honestly, I want a Note 4 with upgraded specs instead of the Note 5, plastic is harder to break and cheaper to replace than glass.
+Pocketnow Would you say it's worth upgrading from Galaxy S2 to Galaxy S6? :-/ It is quite pricey and my current phone does everything I need it to do, apart from the occasional insufficient RAM, due to unmovable apps. :-/
FN-2187 That actual edges of the "Edge" models was a very poor design choice, IMO. Speaking from a purely aesthetic point of view, of course. I am sure it had a tonne of functionalities, but a curved display simply doesn't look good (again - this is my personal opinion). :-/
Could someone please reply? I'm getting my first phone today 😄😄😄 would this be a good phone?? Please reply quickly I'm leaving in about one hour. Thank you so much. Should I get iPhone or this one Samsung?
I think a micro SD card slot wouldn't be hard to put in considering its how small the slot is. It's far cheaper than flash storage-many people can't afford the memory they need when buying phones without the slot.
I have one question, but it really does matter to me in this case. Can I change the icon pack on the stock launcher? (with a third party pack, not from the theme store)
Larocka on the deafault launcher no, but you can run a custom launcher such as nova to change icons and still have the theme changed on the phone for notification, settings menu etc.
The detail and the English used is amazing in this review. Love it.

You claim that Apple is all about money and monopolies, but this is exactly what the Galaxy S6 is.
They want you to pay MORE for more memory.
They want you to pay MORE for a case.
They want you to pay MORE for the phone in general.
The S5 was the last USEFUL Samsung phone.
They are now no better then iPhone.
Also, I would like you to specify that your opinion is about Samsung *PHONES* and not Samsung.
Almost every other device that Samsung creates in competition to Apple is horrible.
Their tablets don't stand a chance, their computers are weak, and their software is HORRIBLE.
That said, all of the Galaxy devices PRIOR to the S6 were "better" than iPhones (if you ignore running systems and skins that are pretty much unusably laggy).
In my opinion, Samsung phones can't even touch how much better LG or HTC devices are.
Even Sony.
You make fun of iFanboys, but you yourself are no better, simply screaming from the other side.
To all the fanboys of apple this is actually great, if Samsung actually hits iPhone sales, well my friends that would cause Apple to actually improve the next iPhone
Upa hahahha
And that, my dearest friend, is the proof that most Android users are butthurt, insecure fanboys. On a Samsung phone review, the first thing yor hurt butt can think of is how much the iPhone, according to you, sucks. Stick to your Galaxy Fame, peasant.

That means I'm not a (notice the poor grammar) "asshol fangirl!!!¡!1111one Iship;;;; open sorse ftwwwww." Brand loyalty is, seriously, the most retarded thing I've ever seen.
What if i told you that its actually call raising the bar and forcing to make better phones to outsell the others?
You seem to be the only one with a head on your shoulders, everyone else is more oriented towards iPhone apologetics.
guitarrakapo Shut the fuck up. =)
Making the recent app quicker, disable the google talkback app
Going to give it a try.
It's been disabled on both our units since we unboxed them. ^M
Pocketnow
How should I disable it
Lionel Messi Ok thanks Lionel Messi
been disabled still crashed :/
Ordered the Black Sapphire one today :)
Me to ! :)
Anything except white is great
TINI TOM White is awesome.
Michael Kao I'm going with the white, because the black isn't black.
visiøn wow so fast? here in Europe I still have to wait 3 weeks 😐
I dont understand why must the capacitive key lights turn off, and only turn on when you swipe. I get super annoyed using my sister's samsung when that happens, it could be just me, but i just dont get it.
***** I think there's a setting for that. always on, always off or how many seconds you want it to be on after clicking it.
Maxine Daryl Toledo It should be default but if there is then thats good.
Change em in the sertings bro
Vaibhav Gupta It should be default, but thanks for confirming.
***** I don't think it should be default in your preference. Yea, options are good :)
When I want to see a review of a phone that I liked, I`m always searching for Pocketknow because I love how they review their phones. Hice work guys keep like this :)
I am an iphone user but I am quite impressed with what Samsung did here. Well done. I never knew Samsung can make it back.
zorkor This apple like phone will more than likely hurt samsung in the long run. No one wants a phone that shatters.
vcostor Ehh hater shhh
Danny Cunningham yOU mean like m9 ugly
Danny Cunningham If you just worry about break then I suggest you wait for s6 active it is coming soon.
Danny Cunningham
Bruh, have you even seen the drop tests? X)
Ive watched a lot of reviews on this phone. This was the best.
Dane Reid Agreed!
DECEMBER 2022!!!!!!!!!!!! NOSTALGIA
Good review just prove that the gs6 is a beast of a phone I'll take mine in black
Phillip Pugh of course you will take it in BLACK
Phillip Pugh i want mine in yellow, heheh
Alrighty you are Just obsess
Phillip Pugh Hell yeah bro! You will love the Galaxy S6. The Galaxy S6 is the best designed and most technologically advanced smartphone in the industry, period.
Already have it man is it a beast on par with my note edge
As always, the fairest and most comprehensive video review comes from PocketNow..Good job team!
Nice Gordon Lightfoot reference there Michael.
Looks like a great device, yet I feel something about it is lacking... I'm happy with my Moto X 2014 either way.
I've been using my S6 for 4 days and I'm loving it. Highly recommended
God, Michael's praise is so high. Its making it difficult to hold out to see how the G4 and Z4 are going turn out.
Isaac Abraham Michael does a good job of optimism in his reviews while not holding back from the shortcomings. The software is what ultimately broke the deal for me and why I went with the Nexus. Firstly, 5.0-5.0.2 have issues as he experienced with memory regardless of how much RAM you have. 5.1 has given me none of the issues on a Motorola as I experienced on 5.0. So the current version combined with slower SW updates (yes slow is relative but I want them ASAP) and the UI force closes from random applications in my opinion is inexcusable in 2015.
I agree with you to an extent. The shortcomings for a Samsung device would nearly always be the lack of product support and software updates.
Surely for the first few months they will take care of the existing issues that are widely spread such as 5.0.2, but in due time the S6 will be forgotten and left behind.
Regardless, it is the mentioned battery life that I know for certain will make regret the purchase in the long haul, which is realistically about a year.
1 year of normal charge cycles shouldn't impact the battery performance in a year if that is what you mean. Otherwise you imply you will get tired of charging it often? I agree, it is tedious and exhausting. I cannot blame them for releasing the phone with the latest available lollipop for the tech world would shun Samsung for waiting till 5.1 . It will be 3-6 months realistically until they provide an update assuming carriers don't hold back. Another reason I went with Nexus.
Its not its not necessarily the hassle of having to charge the phone daily. But more of being in a real world situation where you are suffering the worst case scenario and your phone is nearly depleted because it was decided to play a seldom video game on the off chance.
The Nexus series and what it offers is how other phone manufacturers should treat their flagship devices. My strongest buying points in purchasing would lie in the camera, fluidity of the software, reliant updates to keep to speed and battery life. But unfortunately Nexus devices always tend to pay little attention to the camera software.
Richard Richard Yeah 5.0.1 was buggy as hell on my Nexus 5 with abysmal performance. Constant stutters, lags, background apps being unnecessarily killed, homescreen launcher redraws, app crashes etc. 5.1 is much, much better - but the infamous memory bug is still lurking there. I've had the phone completely bog down on rare occasions with 5.1 but it was a pretty much constant occurrence in 5.0.1. Lollipop's gradually getting where it needs to be, but still needs a bit more refining. The memory leak/background app killing bug needs to be obliterated once and for all.
you can change the illuminated buttons at the bottom from power saving to not light up and dim the screen even further in a dark room
Who is buying this awesome smartphone in 2016 ? :)
I bought it June 1st. :-)
got it. :)
I am waiting for it to arrive! Swapping from iPhone 5 :D
Jian Maniti is it a nice phone?
+Edgerrin Anderson yep. Really nice. It can still compete with other phones that are released this year very well.
I really enjoy the detail that goes into each Pocketnow review. The combination of the Michael's awesome voice and the diverse shots of the phone always make it an enjoyable watch!
The Note 5 is going to be twice as amazing and I would bet end up being the phone of the year. This was a great evolution for Samsung. the Note 5 will benefit and improve on whats learned from the s6.
Well one thing i see from the video is software problems. My question is does this happen with a international version with no carrier bloat as much?
Then One thing i don't get is why Samsung removed water resistance? Wouldn't it be easier to make the GS6 water Resistance because the back is sealed and not removable like the GS5, it would be nice to have that, for that one unlucky time in the year or 2 you own the phone.
Is it just me, or does the "No SD cards or battery replacing" thing start to seem like not such a big deal the more you see it? I went from "Lol fuck that phone" to "Hmm.. I kinda want this now"
Frankie Hiltz my sentiments exactly! especially now that there's a day one 64 GB variant
Yea I agree with you guys x) I was on the edge about the battery, since my S3's charging port busted, but I've managed to get away with charging the battery in an external charger. So my hopes is just that the charging port is just a bit tougher .-.
Lol that's what I said when I saw the video of S6 but I held the phone and everything changed. I want this ✆ now even though doesn't have ex battery & ex storage 😁
Nexus 5 user here. I've taken to carrying around small external USB power banks with me when I'm away from charger for a while. The 32GB memory is manageable but for my next phone I'll probably go for 64GB or 128GB, which will be plenty for me. The Galaxy S6 is tempting me but I'm trying to wait until the end of the year to see whether Google puts out a refreshed Nexus 5. If not I'll get whatever is best at that point in time.
Frankie Hiltz It's not just you. At first, I didn't even wanna hear about this phone. Then I actually started thinking and realized that I never needed more than 32 GB on my phone, thanks to Dropbox, and I NEVER EVER replaced, or had a spare battery. So I just decided to order this, fuck it. Wanted Note 4 at first, but better screen, better camera, better processor, better TouchWiz... Not worth it anymore.
This was most undoubtedly the most positive review I've ever seen on this channel
Is this the new Iphone?
Yup and apple switched to Android with this one
Troy Nguyen thats not funny you're just being clueless... samsung took the design and made it even better just like what iphone 6 took from the m8...
kram !! we know we're just joking about it. Just like you did when Apple took the design of m8
This is like the best review of a phone I have seen in my life lol. Well done man!
I'm with Windows Phone, but the Galaxy S6 is making a strong case to switch (I prefer the edge though)
Guys I didn't understand why you're so hard with the S5. I have the s5 and in my opinion is an amazing phone. Fast, reliable, and to me looks great. Yes the s6 might have another feeling but the S5 is great too.
I understand that... But my point is that now almost everyone is saying that S5 pretty much is crap... When is not... is a great smartphone just now the older version of something well made
leonardo zepeda I think the main reason for the praise is that Samsung finally addressed (or improved) some issues people have been complaining about for years (build, Touchwiz). Even though many didn't necessarily have a problem with the plastic before
fightnight14 s5 is even better since the s6 came out. The s6 is almost a waste of time.
wade18 the plastic was one of the best parts. I can drop my s5 from like 12 feet onto concrete and have a good chance it is unbroken. the s6 will be hard to match that from 3 feet.
vcostor Exactly. I saw a drop test with the S6 edge and I'll just say you DEFINITELY need a case for it haha
Dude, Michael. Your reviews have always been great, and they seem to just keep getting better. This is probably my favorite review from you. I can't stand Samsung smartphones, yet I was completely enamored with this review. Seriously thought anout buying one. LOL! Bravo my friend, keep up the good work!
Man people are seriously underestimating the amount of people that don't like the fact that their no sd card or removable battery. When you download app and take a lot of pictures and videos and download music all that slows your phone down. At least with and sd card you can put all you music and video, pictures, and even some apps on to your ad card so it won't clog your phone down.
It's funny because SD cards are exactly what slow your phone down, not the phone's in-built flash storage.
Cloud buddy,cloud
***** I remember I had the motorola photon back 2011. I ordered 2 extra batteries from amazon I would leave out and be gone all day when I got home I would still have one whole battery that wasn't used. And the batteries were thin I could put three of them in my side pocket and I feel them. I have a lg g2 now with a non removable 3000mah battery but I have to carry around a ravepower battery pack and it's kind of annoying. I just don't see how people don't care about this. So you got a carry around your charger everywhere you go and look for outlet. Plus companies like samsung and htc still for some reason refuse to a 3000mah or higher in their phones. Im not talking about phablets just the flagship s series and the htc one series phones.
***** wrong I have a lg g2 no sd card slot and my phone was running slow with all the pictures and music I had and apps it was slowing it down. I did a reset and it boots up faster when I turn it off and on it cuts on faster. When I had my samsung s3 I had all my pictures ,video of family , apps and all my saved music on my sd card and because of that my s3 never slowed down or froze or anything.
MsMonster128 that cloud don't help you if you don't have good internet connection.
This is clearly the best gs6 review i have watched. Brilliant MICHAEL FISHER
Let me tell you why micro sd is superior to internal storage: In my country with the current exchange rate, the S6 32 gig model costs 821 dollars. The 128 gig model is 1210 dollars.
The 32 gig model + a 128 gig sd card= 160 gigs of storage for 963 dollars.
See? They ONLY dropped micro SD because they want more money. There is simply NO REASON AT ALL NOT TO INCLUDE A MICRO SD SLOT OTHER THAN WANTING MORE MONEY.
Micro SD is superior to internal storage and anyone with a brain can see that. More storage for less money. And if the S6 had a 16 gig model, it would be 144 gigs with the SD card for about 150 bucks less. So you would pay 600 bucks and get more storage than the 1200 bucks model.
And you can tell me that internal storage is faster, but that's another money bullshit. If manufacturers would start making storage as fast as they can possibly make them, they would cap out at around 400 mb/sec for sd cards. Yes, internal storage COULD go further, but at that point, it simply doesn't matter.
High quality sd cards r as expensive as higher variants.. And google doesnt allow installing apps to sd card anymore.. And it cause the phone to lag on long term.. Not really a big deal
***** Google doesn't have to allow installing apps to SD. Custom ROMs allow it just fine, I don't give a shit about how stupid Google is.
It's once again, money. Google also makes more money by doing this, so they give other companies a reason to get more money.
It's still stupid, pointless, money whore and sd cards are still superior, but there is A LOT of money involved in not using them.
***** 16 gigs is enough, but a 16 gig phone usually only 12 available. I personally use about 20, so my example really was just an example, not my real world usage scenario.
ok custom roms is sth very different.. i do now but wont when i buy the s6.. the quick camera is a killer feature that will make me stick to the stock rom
***** Well, some custom ROMs allow you to set actions for long press and double press.
And The reason I don't buy Samsung is Knox. It makes rooting and flashing stuff stupidly difficult.
Got to play with the S6 and S6 Edge. As a Note 4 owner, the S6 Edge is so wonderful, it's the only phone I'd considering downsizing to. It was the black (blue sapphire) color, and I was pleased to see that fingerprints didn't show nearly as bad as in the videos I've seen. TW was buttery smooth and the screen is just gorgeous! The curve looks really cool with everything you do. Viewing pics wasn't weird at all. The edge options were kind of cool, too. Easily the best phones of the year, bar none. CrApple and HighTechCrap can fuck off!
Khemistry Galaxy S6 = High tech.
iPhone 6 = low tech.
No no man don't blame android for Samsung's lag and app crashes. HTC's flagships never lag and rarely ever crashes apps. Nor does the Sony Xperia Z series. No no don't blame 'Android phones' for Samsung's mistakes.
Not many Xperia's are running 5.0.2 or higher right now, which is where the complaints come from. And unless you own an M9 you can't make the argument for HTC either.
But Michael didn't specifically relate the lagging issue with the latest software. He related it with 'Android' in general.
But if he had, I would agree with you. Although I own an Xperia z3 running android 5.0.2 and it works just like it did on KitKat.
I'm a proud owner of the nexus 5, and I can attest to the occasional jank and crash since lollipop. 5.1 made it better, but not by much.
Rizwan Basir hey I have a Xperia z3 too! when did you get your update to 5.0?
***** I own the One M8 and have never had an app crash, or home screen redraw for me since the Lollipop update. Also since a recent HTC Playstore update, RAM management has also improved.
Great review as always Michael. First review that I have seen that mentions app crashes and other software issues. Glad to see Samsung finally have a great flagship.
When Sony used glass .. meh. When Samsung did it....Wow Amazing
Govind Pavan The glass is a horrible idea.
sony still uses glass
***** yes they do
Govind Pavan
glass is the only reason i goed with the note 4 glass back is fucking stupid idea
***** Everybody has their opinions and BTW its "went" not "goed".
I'm not even a Samsung fan but that navy S6 looks very tempting
who is going to buy a HTC now?
No one :p
***** S6 stole all our money, nothing for m9
Me I still puffer the whole eco system but s6 is making it hard .lol what ever is cheaper
already did. I still think it's a better phone despite what the masses have to say about it.
I will. With a screen on time of only two hours I will be avoiding this. The only reason I'm ditching my S3 is because the battery is showing its age and the SD card slot is having issues. If the SD card slot was fine I would just buy a new battery and hold out for something better. Almost everything is better about the S6 over the M9 but the sound, battery life and processor. Battery life and good sound are important things to me.
Just got a refurbished one for 70 dollars. Amazing how cheap it is now
Buggy and laggy, the reason why I will never permanently switch to Android. It's too bad, this is a nice looking phone. I have tried so many times but always seem to go back to the iPhone. It's so consistent and always just works. Hope it sells well though, competition is always good for everyone.
Ive been using android for 4 years now, and i have never had an real crash, and with my 4 phones, i almost never had bugs
Try a HTC One M8 or M9. Their devices are the quickest and slickest in everyday use. Samsung wish their UI was as fluid
i've gotten bored of the iPhone software and hardware. This is why i want to switch to samsung galaxy S6/Note 4. In my opinion, i think they are great flagship phones.
miamicanesfan01 i use HTC M8 and i never had any lag and bug so far ! , sense ui is perfection .
miamicanesfan01 Switched to Android 3 years ago from iPhone and couldn't be happier. I still have an iPhone for work, and I only use it for work email. My Note 3 is neither buggy nor laggy. Sorry you had a lesser experience.
I'm not feeling the S6 mainly because it doesn't have MicroSD slot\Replaceable battery. I'm not the type that can go buy a new phone when it comes out and usually over the long haul batteries wear down and you will download more than you think you will initially. i'm disappointed that Samsung listened to tech press complaints of it having a "cheap feel" especially when majority of the people buying it won't leave the carrier without a "plastic cheap feeling" case to protect it from drops. Hopefully, the new Note will keep the "Function over Form" principles.
Man that occasional lag wasn't expected?!
Anish Somawar nope, but thanks to Android 5.0 it happens, thats why everyone has 5.1 and 5.2 which lag is non existent
I was using CM11 and the performance was flawless but 5.0.2 crapped my experience
Masterincommander 5.1 on a nexus 5 and 7 is still piss pooradd touchwiz and you have even worse
Best reviewer out there. My new go-to for phone reviews. Great job Michael.
Right, looking to get the S6 but my only concern is battery life. What's the battery life like in a day with medium usage which includes messaging such as WhatsApp, internet surfing, Instagram, Snapchat, etc? These would be used throughout the day and perhaps some TH-cam as well - would love to hear everyones real life experience.
I have heard rumours about the Note 4 getting the S6 UX with the Android Lollipop 5.1 update. Thats going to be awesome, considering the Note 4 is already a fast and premium phone. It has been updated to Lollipop already but the 5.1 is going to bring an even more refined UX experience. Surprise me, Samsung.
Hey Michael, why don't you post the score for the reviews anymore? No 8/10 or 9/10 or 9.5/10?
Hey Mike I have an S5 and I noticed that when the phone is in Power Saving mode the capacitor buttons do not light up with every screen interaction, in fact they don't light up at all once in that mode. Just curious if that remains the same for the S6?
I don't know if this applies to the S6, but with my old S4 I could disable the backlights for the capacitive buttons so that they never turned on. It's should be in the settings.
Why did Michael say to check their full review for more info on battery life? Is this not the full review?
Good thing I'll still be using Go Launcher EX on this baby; been waiting on my platinum gold preorder for a few days. Any Galaxy fan will be excited for this phone, save for the low battery life and the app crashes. Hopefully there will be remedies for that; at least the phone will charge very fast to make up for less battery longevity. Doesn't sound too good considering we can't remove the battery to begin to if we ever need to replace it completely, but it can't be THAT bad. Only time will tell -- thank you for the unbiased video, Michael!
I recently purchased both the S6 and Note 5, and was curious about a dual purpose these could serve. Do you think they could handle the job of testers for my games in Unreal Engine 4 since it is now compatible with the Android Mobile OS?
This is the best review for the Galaxy s6!...and Android Authority is my favorite phone channel
Please do respond if you could: During your time with the device did you have a problem with the touchwiz launcher repeatedly asking you to select a default launcher (between touchwiz home and touchwiz easy home)? Mine keeps asking me to select a default home launcher even tough i have selected the normal touchwiz home launcher as "always"
Hey. I got this Samsung Galaxy s6 and when you fail your fingerprint enough times a backup password will half to be entered. If you fail that 5 times it will factory reset the phone (delete everything on the phone) is there a way to change that?
Well right now I am feeling like this is not the best phone ever :-( I wished you had talked about how to upload videos to TH-cam or how to send a video text without having to trim your video,and then trimming it makes it blurry and the Galaxy S 6 it does not have a TH-cam share app... it comes with a TH-cam app where you can go on TH-cam and look at other videos, but when you try to upload a video to TH-cam there is no app when you hit the share button so now I'm feeling a little confused think I'm going to take this phone back to the store.....
Fantastic review as usual. Great shots, cuts and edits, and overall great coverage of all the key features. Thanks!
I love your reviews.. You always manage to review the elements I really want to know about.
Can't wait to get mine!
here's something that I just found out. if you go into the google now settings and change your language to English(UK) ...when Google now talks back, it has a pretty cool accent :)
I don't understand why Pocketnow hasn't yet got even a million subscribers! They deserve the most subscribers for a tech channel because they're the best!
I noticed the blue version isn't available for pre order which makes me sad cos I wanted that one. Anyone know when the blue s6 comes out
Beautiful review! Michael Fisher is the king.
I've got My s6 edge in gold and I absolutely love it (its way better than any iphone coming from a previous iphone owner) it's screen is amazing and its camera takes great pictures
Ali Kazi Agree!
I dont really mind the non removable battery cuz people now bring along powerbanks. But what really bugs is that models with more memory is more pricy. Its cheaper to have an expandable storage.
VintageRKO cheaper yes, that's why i got my 64gb card but they are so slow...
The app crash issue can be remedied by a factory reset, this issue is common after carrier updates.
Watching a Samsung galaxy s6 ad on a galaxy s6 review, nice!!
If you could get the note 4 at a price 50 bucks lower than the s6. Which I can currently at T-Mobile. Which one is better at those prices?
Dany namou you could get a better deal than that for the note 4, but your main consieration shoud be the screen size.
@Michael you can turn off the key in the power saving mode while reading in the dark, that what I do with my note 4 and I'm sure samsung included that option in the s6 as well.
With my s6 edge I've seen wonky things within apps (I'm assuming its lollipop) but have yet to see any apps crash on me. I'm hoping the bug with cell standby and the weird things happening in some apps can go away through software update once the phone is technically out.
Can anyone explain to me what causes the HDR mode to turn off from auto? I tend to leave it on auto 90% of the time, but sometimes when I open the camera and snap a shot I'm shocked to find that HDR is off when I almost always leave it on auto. It's not a big deal but I'm not sure why it resets. If anyone could clue me in I would be very thankful.
Anyone know that film/show clip at 2:20 and what its from at all?
i am confused, you said the S6 is the best samsung ever, but you excluded the NOTE 4, does this mean the NOTE 4 is a better device?? because in your NOTE 4 review you didnt say that it is that great...you criticized the performance, and the S6 outperforms it in this segment...
You. Make. The. Best. Reviews.
Getting this as a warranty replacement device since T-Mobile ran out of G4's. Hoping those app force closing errors are fixed.
Great Vid, michael! Thanks for putting in the time to release polished reviews.
just got mine, i noticed when you have powersave enabled, those two buttons at the bottom dont light up, for your dark room problem ;)
Just started my contract back in January with the S4 won't be able to get it unfortunately until my contract ends but by then I am assuming the s7 and the s8 will be out by the time my contract ends
love the pretty colours that the S6 comes in :)
Great review! Nice work captain 2 phones!
Will the software enhancements on the S6 also be on the Note 4 eventually?
Has anyone experienced the lag in the front facing camera? I turned off beauty mode(putting it to 0) and and still doesn't work :/ But when I turn on the wide selfie mode, the front facing camera was smooth. It only lags when I'm using a standard selfie mode. Any thoughts?
Odd, I got the AT&T version and its working extremely well the battery is actually better than people have said it was going to be, and I have only run into a problem with one app crashing.
Forget about the device. I'm amazed by the way the review has been presented. ❤
I just love you reviews. You guys are so amazing to test a phone. Thank you.
Great review, as always! Wish I could get that beautiful white S6! Oh well. Maybe next year.
I'm trying to decide between an iphone 6 and GS6. I'm a former apple nerd so I'm really torn and I was wondering if anyone here has been in the same spot and could give me some advice. Is this one better? I know some of you are "samsung forever" people, just like there are many "apple forever" people here, if you are one of those I don't need your help. But if you have some experience with both and can give some real advice, I would love to hear it!
Michael is the one who made me Buy this one.
Really good review Michael, very fair and honest IMO. I think the review also shows that there really is no perfect phone, Samsung have really stepped up on their hardware, display and camera, but software seems to have the same Touchwiz hiccups and the battery life does not seem to be of 2015 flagship expectation. Not to mention the omission of things that Samsung Knights held so dear.
nice review especially the boston pics walk around
Michael, just love your reviews,
Why didn't you meantion the IR blaster to control the TV that is an amazing feature that sets it apart from some phones.
When will you do the After the Buzz on the S6 and S6 Edge???
HIGHLY NEEDED ANWSER-- I may have missed this, I know the S6 edge is gorgeous and lasts 3-4 hours.
How long does the normal S6 last?
People complained that it was ugly and felt cheap, now they're complaining that it's fragile and doesn't have the features they liked, I liked all of the "gimmicky" features, and used them. Honestly, I want a Note 4 with upgraded specs instead of the Note 5, plastic is harder to break and cheaper to replace than glass.
I love the look and feel of Note 4.
+Pocketnow Would you say it's worth upgrading from Galaxy S2 to Galaxy S6? :-/ It is quite pricey and my current phone does everything I need it to do, apart from the occasional insufficient RAM, due to unmovable apps. :-/
yes
Alex MMI Thank you. Doubt I would though. The Note 4 (the phone I would have gone for in place of S6, as I deem it better) is rather pricey. :-/
+Todor “Trey” Koev Go for Edgr Plus
FN-2187 That actual edges of the "Edge" models was a very poor design choice, IMO. Speaking from a purely aesthetic point of view, of course. I am sure it had a tonne of functionalities, but a curved display simply doesn't look good (again - this is my personal opinion). :-/
Could someone please reply? I'm getting my first phone today 😄😄😄 would this be a good phone?? Please reply quickly I'm leaving in about one hour. Thank you so much. Should I get iPhone or this one Samsung?
Samsung
Can most of these problems be fixed with software updates?
I think a micro SD card slot wouldn't be hard to put in considering its how small the slot is. It's far cheaper than flash storage-many people can't afford the memory they need when buying phones without the slot.
I have one question, but it really does matter to me in this case. Can I change the icon pack on the stock launcher? (with a third party pack, not from the theme store)
Larocka on the deafault launcher no, but you can run a custom launcher such as nova to change icons and still have the theme changed on the phone for notification, settings menu etc.
