Am I seriously the only one who actually loves the S6? Sure there are painful sacrifices, but lots of phones now do have Micro SD expansion. I would buy the S6 solely because of it's design and that's the first time I've said that for a Samsung phone.
I love how everyone says it looks like the iphone. The only part of the phone that looks like the iphone is the bottom part. Not to mention, did everyone like forget the fact that the iphone lookes similar to the htc one?
freezeter14 So your saying the Iphone 6 came out before the M7? Cause those design cues look so familiar. Also, if you're saying "Apple had the finger print scanner first so anyone who follows is a copy cat" You're wrong again. Motorola had the first finger print scanner. Who the hell cares if samsung changed the way the fingerprint scanner works. It was bound to happen anyway.The S6 in no way, besides that tiny portion on the bottom, looks like the iphone 6.
Dude, what's so hard to get? The iPhone 6 has the almost exact same design as the iPod Touch 5G which came out long before the first HTC One was released. How could you seriously think they tried to copy the M7 design? Jony Ive also said, they started designing the iPhone 6 after Steve Jobs died in late 2011. Since then they were working on it and tested the manufacturing process partly with the iPod Touch 5G. Your argument is just complete bullshit and you trolls keep repeating it forever, which makes you look pretty dumb. Sorry, bro.
Yay now people who can't afford iPhones can now get one 👏👏👏 Good job Samsung 👌 y'all talk shit about Apple but yet they said their design is " Original "😂👏
The most beautiful phone I have encountered so far!! My family own all iphone 6 and plus but we are all changing to S6 and S6 edge for our new contract in April! Exicited!! Good job, Samsung! You finally made all our wishes!!
It's such a damn shame Samsung is trying so hard to make the Galaxy like the iPhone. I didn't care when images came out that showed the similarities in build quality, but removing the SD slot and removable battery to be just like Apple is moronic and the dumbest thing Samsung has ever done in their entire history. People buy Galaxy phones because of the removable battery, because they want to add more storage with a simple SD card. This is ridiculous. #Samsung #WhatTheHellAreYouDoing #Fail
Agreed 100%. The absence of a micro sd card slot leaves me dumbfounded. They could have easily added one on the side, as they did with the sim card slot. I can do w/out a removable battery. They had everything almost right with this one... almost. In this case... why even buy an S6? Although I will say that the S6 edge does look nice... there is no way I would buy a phone w/out any removable storage option. Might as well get an iPhone...
I feel you. I was upset at first too. But SD cards are kinda overrated. It's just a reason to leave precious memories on your device for longer periods of time. Idk if you ever lost or had your phone stolen, but it sucks knowing you lost all your pics and video.
AnimeBeefRandoms I hope that the Note 5 line does have a micro sd slot. That would be the only element stopping me from upgrading later on in the year.
Wildcard Hoss It would only make sense since the Note series is targeted at a much more specific market (power users). The internal storage in the S6 though is MONSTER, so much faster then anything in the market. www.phonearena.com/news/First-Galaxy-S6-edge-benchmarks-show-peak-performance-in-AnTuTu-and-outrageous-memory-speeds_id66653
ignorant ass. omg the bottom side is similar to the Iphone 6, and now it has a touch ID...Apple wasn't the first company to implement the fingerprint sensor.
This is how a video should be done. For a flagship launch day phone. Great job Pocketnow! It's a breath of fresh air to not have to listen to the hum of the room background noise. This was just so easy to watch. Thanks again for you professional work Pocketnow.
I think Apple is too. What has apple come out with that is not already out? How long did it take apple to come out with a 6" screen? I mean lets be fare in the idea department.
freezeter14 there is some truth to that but when they do they pass it off as new when its not. Like apple pay, I mean NFC payments been out for like 4 yrs when google wallet came out. If Verizon, AT&t and tmobile didn't block it. I would have worked but it didn't so Apple jumped on it but that was an old idea that apple try to make new
freezeter14 totally right!?! they'll put out the same phone add a couple of new things and add a "s" at the end then boom another shitty phone everyone wants
I would rather sacrifice that "premium feel" for more functionality.. Samsung killed its market and user base with banning the removable back and expandable storage.. Good job Sammy! Now you've killed your market share by yourself :)
Eh, they still got their low to mid range phones. Plus I imagine people switching from iPhone would like it because there not losing any functionality. I also would've preferred if functionality took priority over "premium" build garbage.
that remains to be seen i hope so, so they can go back to that design but out of all the people i now who have galaxy s5's im the only one that carries arounf an extra battery
Samsung like copying apple so much what shit they announce too. samsung pay pshhhh rip off of apple pay i hate samsung idc what people say yes im a apple fan boy idk even know why im watching this on my iPhone
I like Samsung but even I can't defend them copying apple anymore with this phone...however apple does rip a lot of people off as well apple pay is Google android territory circa 2012 with wait for it... Google wallet! And other NFC based payment systems that have existed before "apple pay"
msmcshan1 The only thing that's similar is the frame and how thin it is. There's only so many ways to make the same rectangular design and I think the S6 is a winner.
Iphone had best design out there... but was a joke compared to specs and performances of any android phone, so who cares if samsung copied a little of its design... Iphone is a joke, always has been..
I dont know anyone who uses 2 apps at once and use widgets. I had android and i tried it once showed it to my friends and then boom back to how humans use their phones. Ios is much better at doing what a phone is meant to do if you havent tried ios try it
BeckRobin I have an iPod and an iPhone. But I use my galaxy because its a more entertaining experience overall. I used the iPhone for one month and liked it for a while, then I began to get extremely bored and tired of it.
It's looking good if you compared to S5.The bottom of the phone is so much like an iPhone 6 but at least the back cover is looking great. Anw most people would have casing on, so I guess how the back looks like wont really matters. But I guess removable battery is one selling point of android phone, it's a pity they took away that.
Looks like some nice feature improvements and really like the Edge version but I'd first want to know two things. How will the Quad HD resolution display impact the battery and how scratch resistant is that back. Putting a cover over it would be a crime but if it's both high maintenance & it scratches I would probably pass.
When I had the S5, people were claiming that it got uglier and that it was not a quality phone (looked like a bandage). Now that the S6 is new and improved, people complain of what was forgone. Bloatware has been removed, battery life increases, plastic has been replaced with metal and glass, and screen resolution is phenomenal (best in class). No SD card? That is a drawback, but that's why there are options for 32,64, and 128gb now. No removable battery? New technology allows quick charging; allowing over 2 hours of usage with a 10 minute charge. People wanted a premium feeling device and Samsung listened. People complain about the drawbacks, but Samsung has managed to address many of the customer's issues in their new build. If it was't for my Z3, I'd purchase a green emerald or black sapphire S6 Edge myself. Sadly, I'm probably going to have to end up waiting for the Note 5 Edge on contract.
Its all nice but, the thing that made me rethink about getting the s6 is not having the memory expansion, I might wait and see if Samsung's new phone will probably bring that back, because a lot of people are complaining about it. So i might get the s5 instead
Why is it that not a single review has mentioned anything regarding the phones audio with and without headphones? My HTC one is my main source for my music and it sounds great both ways. I'm thinking of jumping ship to the s6 because HTC disappointed me. At least the m9 has Dolby audio processing what about the s6?
im debating on which one i want to get, i need to see the size comparison with the screen and phone itself. i dont know how i feel about the edge, not really something i feel i need
plus i didnt mind the plastic, it fell apart if you dropped it which i didnt mind because i rather everything spread as you drop it than have it break to pieces because of the glass, i need a review on this already
As much as I liked having SD card support and a removable battery, I honestly really don't use them both as much. I only use my SD card to store images/movies and I never had to buy a separate battery. So going into the S6 will feel the same. Plus with some appps even if you love it to the SD card (I have the S4) it still somehow uses up internal memory, at least for me.
Why wireless charging would be essential due to the non removable battery?? There are not many charging station outside anyway so it does not really change the fact that you could have to bring along your charger during a long day...
Samsung appears to take 2 steps forward and 1 step back at the same time. With S6 Fashion takes precedence over Function and Flexibilty. Expandable memory and Removable battery were 2 key features that made many people prefer Samsung over other Android devices.
OMFG!!! That metallic color!!! but shame about no memory expanding and internal battery,at least the battery should be bigger than 2550,my LG G2 has a 3000mAh,and yes i'm both an LG fan and Samsung,but when passing from Note 1 to something better i chose to choose 1 out of 3:Nexus 5,S4 and G2,despite G2 has only 16 GB,no slot and internal battery,S4 is simply junky,don't ask why,and nexust would of given me Lollypop,but that's that i'l get it on G2 soon as well,i hope...
You know the more I see this phone the more I start to like it. The edge variant at least looks sleek, responsive, light, and hides a powerhouse of technical specs as well as some newish innovations that I'd expect from a Samsung phone, such as the wireless charging and fast charge. It's sad to lose some of the old Samsung staples like an ad card slot, but I can live without that if I must.
OMG! Somone shrunk my Note 4. Overall a lot to like apart from removal of expandable memory. The drive for thin means a smaller battery in the S6 (2,500) and 2600 mah with the Edge. I hope Samsung puts out a ruggedised version that is water/shock resistant. S6 v Z4 comparison please?
In 2012 i was between the Htc One X and the Samsung Galaxy S3. I chose the htc but i gotta tell you it was a really tough choise for me because they were both excellent. Now 3 years later samsung is offering something worth buying again, after the s4 and the s5 this is the only which will probably become my next phone and eventually my first samsung phone because although i like htc an the sense...its really boring and nothing has really changed since the sense 5. (Htc fan boy)
Samsung almost made me impressed. The question is. How much does it cost? And i'm hoping for a consistency in the battery and the smoothness of the phone.
Does the iPhone 6 have glass on the back and a 16mp camera, wireless charging and 577ppi? Just wondering because everyone is saying it's the same 🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
Same cartoony Touchwiz, Ugly design, Small battery with Quad HD, No microsd expansion, No removable battery, no longer waterproof, snapdragon in North America, no front firing speakers, and a glass back instead of metal.
Oh no another apple fan boy.. all the things ur complaining about the iphone 6 doesnt have and is worst.. but i but ur bragging about how great the iphone is for the same reasons
I am an android user (N5) and i think every other phone (windows, apple, android) looks better than this. I really cant believe how shitty design samsung has + lolwiz.
Looks so goooooooood. Hated samsung for making cheap feeling phones but now I am so excited for this phones release. I work in a phone store so I should be able to play with it soon enough :)
They should have kept the expendable storage. It wasn't incompatible with the metal build and it was one of the phone's best features. I don't quite follow their line of thought.
sadly to say I looked at the comments section of this video -__- (told myself I shouldn't) and to no surprise its hell!!!!! people obviously don't seem to get what is going on here -__-. I understand that there are a lot of people that really love Samsung's products and have stood by them ever since the original galaxy device and even before that but it really is sheer ignorance the stupidity in some peoples comments. First off ( my opinion) i really like the new style that Samsung has chosen, i believe that it makes the phone look very sleek and though it really makes a statement for itself... it does break up the monotony of using a cheap feeling plastic phone that most people who use Samsung are used to. My only problem with the new look (and its the same problem aesthetically i have with the iPhone 6/6 plus) is the protruding camera... me personally i don't use my phone on a flat surface but at the same time I do get careless with my phone sometimes and tend to set it down kinda hard and such and thus it does become a problem.. as far as no micro sd expansion, i can understand why they aren't able to implement it.. it would be very crippling to the performance of the phone if they included one, the new flash storage would be running cycles around it and it would not only kill battery to keep accessing such a slow media storage knowing your main drive is trying to run faster but it would also slow down the os like crazy and may even reduce the life span of the main drive while causing lag and all sorts of weird anomalies to happen so that is understandable... as far as battery wise goes, even though they don't allow us to change the battery out of the device the smaller footprint processor will most definitely be more efficient and the new display also being more efficient thus not needing a bigger battery... but time will tell, though in my opinion they could have easily made it swappable still -__- but i don't see it as much of a problem.. overall after looking at the shit storm of comments below -__- id say that everyone is judging this phone way to harshly when no one has even got there hands on it yet for a real review yet... my main hope from this gen galaxy device is that they increase single core performance because it has been terrible with the snap dragon processors.. and now with the exynos im hoping they fix it, other than that id say its pretty solid... also people need to stop saying this phone is a copy of the iPhone __ when clearly it isn't.. the only real worry (after owning a iPhone 4s) is the glass back on this phone which is a terrible idea. Im not going to sit here and say Samsung is better than apple or any of that shit because both companies have there very strong points and very weak points.. ive always switched between both companies because both are great companies, and the people down below this comment that seem to think that one or the other is shit and all of that well you people are very ignorant and need a lot of help, especially if you have looked for the past 4-5 years Samsung and apple are very very close and work together a lot.. and neither one of these companies are truly original in idea because all these technologies that we see today in phones have already been played somewhere so people saying apple copied this or Samsung, lg, htc copied that you all sound stupid because nothing in the mobile industry is original.
I'll wait for the super deluxe version. Cause now I finally learned my lesson. From the S: Captivate evolving to the S2 then to the S2: Skyrocket then the S3 to the S4 then the S4: Active. I have all these not including the Note line up to 3.
There's no denying how beautiful and powerful this phone is. If you want SD storage so bad, get a Note4! With Lollipop hitting the Note line soon I can't see why it would be a huge deal breaker.
Great... Was about to get note 4 and this comes out But the note's removable battery and s pen and bigger screen is pulling me there At the same time s6 impresses me -_- great, jusr effing great
Way to bite HTC one camera ui. Original LG optimus g glass front and back gorilla glass. What happened to the all aluminum body? Wow an aluminum side frame!! I still see touchwiz lag as well! I do like the looks of it compared to previous versions though! Between that and the M9 I'll stick with HTC!! The S6 has a great processor!! Exynos really did a great job!! Its faster than the snapdraggon 810 as far as benchmark scores are concerned. It's sad it's waisted on lagging touchwiz!!
The S5 didn't sell well because Samsung makes a great product. The phones are not inexpensive to many people and their older models continue functioning fairly well. There are only a few things they may not be able to run. I held onto my Galaxy Blaze S Blaze 4G until just the other day because it was fine. The only reason I upgraded at all is that the Blaze which now lacks a lot of support on flavors gave me a hassle with a smart watch. The market wouldn't even show the app to my phone, then I got that installed, then I had to figure out which OS it would run on it, then it would do everything up until the moment of finalizing the deal and not connect. However, it wasn't that it couldn't connect to the phone it did that fine just not to Casio's application.If I didn't have the ability to splurge at that moment no doubt I would have fixed the problem by the end of the night and continued blissfully for many moons. So really my tipping point was a G-Shock bluetooth and lack of patience because the phone is still awesome after more than three years. I do not enjoy phones for gaming and have been strictly PC for about twenty years. Iphone, lol you guys I'm tell you like this... you know it's going to lose. It's going to hold some little retro niche and it's going to bow out it doesn't matter how many Chinese kids they whip or parents that they chain up or how many nets they install.
Am I seriously the only one who actually loves the S6? Sure there are painful sacrifices, but lots of phones now do have Micro SD expansion. I would buy the S6 solely because of it's design and that's the first time I've said that for a Samsung phone.
It's an iphone clone.
Jeremiah Bromell That doesn't change the fact that the design was good.
The super fast charging also left me excited. 10 min to 50% is outstanding
DOGE™ I'm didn't say the design isn't good. It is.
Jeremiah Bromell "iPhone clone." The only part that is a clone is the bottom.
I love how everyone says it looks like the iphone. The only part of the phone that looks like the iphone is the bottom part. Not to mention, did everyone like forget the fact that the iphone lookes similar to the htc one?
Iphone came out first before htc one.
Not only did Samsung copy apples design but also the finger print scanner
freezeter14 So your saying the Iphone 6 came out before the M7? Cause those design cues look so familiar. Also, if you're saying "Apple had the finger print scanner first so anyone who follows is a copy cat" You're wrong again. Motorola had the first finger print scanner. Who the hell cares if samsung changed the way the fingerprint scanner works. It was bound to happen anyway.The S6 in no way, besides that tiny portion on the bottom, looks like the iphone 6.
freezeter14 The finger print scanner been on Motorola phones for years way before Apple decided to add it to the Iphone.
freezeter14 are you dumb?
Dude, what's so hard to get? The iPhone 6 has the almost exact same design as the iPod Touch 5G which came out long before the first HTC One was released. How could you seriously think they tried to copy the M7 design? Jony Ive also said, they started designing the iPhone 6 after Steve Jobs died in late 2011.

I really wasn't expecting the iPhone 6S until September. Color me surprised.
What??
ignorant ass 😂
Hah I get it
hahaha #1 comment of all time.
No no... not the iPhone 6S. This is the iPhone 6S Galaxy edition. The real iPhone 6S will be revealed later on this year.
I'm an apple person but I think I'm falling for the s6 😱
Better go for HTC One M9
It has micro sd slot too...with great built quality
Prem Kansara I have an m8 and rather stick with the m8 over the m9 plus the m8 price should be cheaper now
Break away from shitty IOS!!!!!!!!!!!
Get customizable with your life!!!!!!!!
u won't regret it once u get ur hands on any Android u will be surprised to see so many things to customize
welcome to the light. haha
Yay now people who can't afford iPhones can now get one 👏👏👏
Good job Samsung 👌 y'all talk shit about Apple but yet they said their design is " Original "😂👏
Its nothing like the iPhone
True
Samsung phones are just as expensive so what are you talking about ?
It Also has the glass back (iPhone 4) the fingerprint (iphone5s) and Samsung pay (Apple pay)
Ken Padilla The 5S was not the first smartphone to have a fingerprint scanner, that would be the Motorola Atrix.
The most beautiful phone I have encountered so far!! My family own all iphone 6 and plus but we are all changing to S6 and S6 edge for our new contract in April! Exicited!! Good job, Samsung! You finally made all our wishes!!

Get a Note 4/ wait for Note 5 if you want removable battery/MicroSD. S series is for mainstream, Note series is for power users!
I feel you. I was upset at first too. But SD cards are kinda overrated. It's just a reason to leave precious memories on your device for longer periods of time. Idk if you ever lost or had your phone stolen, but it sucks knowing you lost all your pics and video.

Wow as soon as I saw it I was like "I WANT THE BLUE ONE" because it just looks so awesome. Nice job Samsung, I think you hit the jackpot
Yay, finally Samsung just gave up and copied Apples style outright, I like it.
Please share, what did Samsung copy with the S6 Edge?
Diego Gonzalez I can STFU but I would like answer please and thank you
Diego Gonzalez That was out of nowhere lol
From Where?! What the fuck did samsung copy from apple?
ignorant ass. omg the bottom side is similar to the Iphone 6, and now it has a touch ID...Apple wasn't the first company to implement the fingerprint sensor.
I have the Note 4. Is it worth switching to S6?
Agh. I want the s6 edge in blue
That Gold has some swag on it
Stephen Griffin i thought the edge doesn't havea good option
NewKingBrandon it does
Stephen Griffin a gold* option

I think Apple is too. What has apple come out with that is not already out? How long did it take apple to come out with a 6" screen? I mean lets be fare in the idea department.
Apple doesn't come out of ideas they just take it slowly until it's the right time to produce it.
freezeter14 there is some truth to that but when they do they pass it off as new when its not. Like apple pay, I mean NFC payments been out for like 4 yrs when google wallet came out.

Cannabis Gnome when the iphone 6 plus came out apple fans was happy just it took you 4 years and no Ipen to go with it...lol
I wasn't able to watch the video finish but just a general question, does the S6 have expandable storage?
No micro sd slot ??? Oh wow m9 I guess you've won my money
:D Big Like
How does it compare to the galaxy alpha? That is what originally what got the metal talk started in Samsung
I would rather sacrifice that "premium feel" for more functionality.. Samsung killed its market and user base with banning the removable back and expandable storage..
Good job Sammy! Now you've killed your market share by yourself :)
Eh, they still got their low to mid range phones. Plus I imagine people switching from iPhone would like it because there not losing any functionality. I also would've preferred if functionality took priority over "premium" build garbage.
that remains to be seen i hope so, so they can go back to that design but out of all the people i now who have galaxy s5's im the only one that carries arounf an extra battery
Jakob E Lol even if samsung lost half of its share overnight It would still have a greater share of the market than crapple
What is the price of the phone ?. Does is really worth that price ?, Fisher ?
Samsung like copying apple so much what shit they announce too. samsung pay pshhhh rip off of apple pay i hate samsung idc what people say yes im a apple fan boy idk even know why im watching this on my iPhone
ignorant ass 😂
Do you realize that, that has been going on for years. Apple copied google with google pay...
I like Samsung but even I can't defend them copying apple anymore with this phone...however apple does rip a lot of people off as well apple pay is Google android territory circa 2012 with wait for it... Google wallet! And other NFC based payment systems that have existed before "apple pay"
Does your iPhone have a "Learn English" app?
msmcshan1 The only thing that's similar is the frame and how thin it is. There's only so many ways to make the same rectangular design and I think the S6 is a winner.
Beautiful... loving the look. Finally Samsung ..
Iphone had best design out there... but was a joke compared to specs and performances of any android phone, so who cares if samsung copied a little of its design... Iphone is a joke, always has been..
But the iphone is still faster and has better performance. How do you explain that? I think android is a joke they need high specs just for android
BeckRobin iOS is plain, boring, and is just no fun... end of conversation
I dont know anyone who uses 2 apps at once and use widgets. I had android and i tried it once showed it to my friends and then boom back to how humans use their phones. Ios is much better at doing what a phone is meant to do if you havent tried ios try it
BeckRobin I have an iPod and an iPhone. But I use my galaxy because its a more entertaining experience overall. I used the iPhone for one month and liked it for a while, then I began to get extremely bored and tired of it.
BeckRobin What's the last Android version you used?
@ 4.22 min. What color is the edge?. In alot movies and pics it looks silver. Seems to be reflection, but looks awesome
How ofter do people expand there phones storage? And how ofter do you drop it in water? And how ofter do you need to change your battery?
I could have sacrificed some of the thickness for bigger battery but in any case I think I am going for it.
Wow! Very beautiful! IMO it's the most beautiful Galaxy S since S2! Really impressed!
How much would an Iphone with the specifications of the new Galaxy S6 ?
It's looking good if you compared to S5.The bottom of the phone is so much like an iPhone 6 but at least the back cover is looking great. Anw most people would have casing on, so I guess how the back looks like wont really matters. But I guess removable battery is one selling point of android phone, it's a pity they took away that.

If it was't for my Z3, I'd purchase a green emerald or black sapphire S6 Edge myself. Sadly, I'm probably going to have to end up waiting for the Note 5 Edge on contract.
How much app storage does the 32 Gb variant allow to the user ?
So when van we buy it?
Real Beauty. First time I really liked any SAMSUNG phone for its design.
Damn that collour ...
Its all nice but, the thing that made me rethink about getting the s6 is not having the memory expansion, I might wait and see if Samsung's new phone will probably bring that back, because a lot of people are complaining about it. So i might get the s5 instead
Is that a sony Nex 5T that pocket now used to film this?
Can the GS6 wireless charge with a case on?
Will this phone have a usb 3.0 or 2.0?
I am doing right like you, but still cant manage where is the ok google???I only have google hotword even though my smartphone is 4.4.2
Why is it that not a single review has mentioned anything regarding the phones audio with and without headphones? My HTC one is my main source for my music and it sounds great both ways.

I can get on board with the non-removable battery but the lack of expandable storage is a massive NO for me.
As much as I liked having SD card support and a removable battery, I honestly really don't use them both as much. I only use my SD card to store images/movies and I never had to buy a separate battery. So going into the S6 will feel the same.

Brilliant First Impressions video! Keep up the good work Pocketnow
Will you even be able to root it?
I like it. but Im getting the s5 because its waterproof. maybe later on down the road I will get the s6. any comments??
That blue looks amazing ! If the Nite 5 looks like this, I'm tempted to get that instead of the 6s Plus!!!
Why wireless charging would be essential due to the non removable battery?? There are not many charging station outside anyway so it does not really change the fact that you could have to bring along your charger during a long day...
So this means note 5 is uhd right?
Pretty much the industry leader and the most advanced technologically phone in the market.
Samsung appears to take 2 steps forward and 1 step back at the same time. With S6 Fashion takes precedence over Function and Flexibilty. Expandable memory and Removable battery were 2 key features that made many people prefer Samsung over other Android devices.
OMFG!!! That metallic color!!! but shame about no memory expanding and internal battery,at least the battery should be bigger than 2550,my LG G2 has a 3000mAh,and yes i'm both an LG fan and Samsung,but when passing from Note 1 to something better i chose to choose 1 out of 3:Nexus 5,S4 and G2,despite G2 has only 16 GB,no slot and internal battery,S4 is simply junky,don't ask why,and nexust would of given me Lollypop,but that's that i'l get it on G2 soon as well,i hope...
Not bad, and timing is also good as I'm looking to buy brand new smartphone middle of this year as my old one is getting bit old.

You know the more I see this phone the more I start to like it. The edge variant at least looks sleek, responsive, light, and hides a powerhouse of technical specs as well as some newish innovations that I'd expect from a Samsung phone, such as the wireless charging and fast charge. It's sad to lose some of the old Samsung staples like an ad card slot, but I can live without that if I must.
s6 or m9????
OMG! Somone shrunk my Note 4. Overall a lot to like apart from removal of expandable memory. The drive for thin means a smaller battery in the S6 (2,500) and 2600 mah with the Edge. I hope Samsung puts out a ruggedised version that is water/shock resistant. S6 v Z4 comparison please?
Does anyone know if TYPE-C USB has been included in the S6?
2019! good memories
You know i can be okay with the non-removable back but no SD Slot? what a BUMMER! Not sure if i will be getting it now.
No micro sd slot? Can't remove the batteries now? What are you trying to do? This is a major disappointment. I had high hopes for this s6
The reviews for this phone is so good I love it
I thought it was an upgrade from the GS5??
I want to see a review/show off of all the colours in depth. Especially the green and gold one.
Will it bend
is it android 5.0?
In 2012 i was between the Htc One X and the Samsung Galaxy S3. I chose the htc but i gotta tell you it was a really tough choise for me because they were both excellent. Now 3 years later samsung is offering something worth buying again, after the s4 and the s5 this is the only which will probably become my next phone and eventually my first samsung phone because although i like htc an the sense...its really boring and nothing has really changed since the sense 5. (Htc fan boy)
Samsung almost made me impressed. The question is. How much does it cost? And i'm hoping for a consistency in the battery and the smoothness of the phone.
Is it true that the edges of S6's display don't register touches at all? dealbreaker...
Does the iPhone 6 have glass on the back and a 16mp camera, wireless charging and 577ppi? Just wondering because everyone is saying it's the same 🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏
Same cartoony Touchwiz, Ugly design, Small battery with Quad HD, No microsd expansion, No removable battery, no longer waterproof, snapdragon in North America, no front firing speakers, and a glass back instead of metal.
it does not have snapdragon
Its has an Exynos 64-bit octacore! (Samsung's own CPU chip)
The same shitty hater everywhere.. just came to talk shits, don't care about anything else .. bla bla bla ..
Oh no another apple fan boy.. all the things ur complaining about the iphone 6 doesnt have and is worst.. but i but ur bragging about how great the iphone is for the same reasons
I am an android user (N5) and i think every other phone (windows, apple, android) looks better than this. I really cant believe how shitty design samsung has + lolwiz.
Had the s2, 3 and 4. Now I have the g3...... Was hoping for something new not an blended iPhone 4 and 6....... I'll stick to my g3
No micro SD.....why? just...why?
the new charging thing sounds interesting tho
Pretty green-ish color. Yeah that's all I could pick up from this phone. But I'm looking forward for the full review. Thanks guys!!
Looks so goooooooood. Hated samsung for making cheap feeling phones but now I am so excited for this phones release. I work in a phone store so I should be able to play with it soon enough :)
They should have kept the expendable storage. It wasn't incompatible with the metal build and it was one of the phone's best features. I don't quite follow their line of thought.
I actually thought they would do something like the projector thingy, or just something revolutionary. Now i dont know if i want this over my S4 :/
That blueish-green colour has gotten me in love...
I'm pre-ordering the Galaxy S6 Edge black sapphire
Cópia completa do Iphone 6, criatividade passou longe.
I never liked the Samsung S Series, but this is surprisingly good.
FINALLY. I've waiting Pocketnow.
sadly to say I looked at the comments section of this video -__- (told myself I shouldn't) and to no surprise its hell!!!!! people obviously don't seem to get what is going on here -__-. I understand that there are a lot of people that really love Samsung's products and have stood by them ever since the original galaxy device and even before that but it really is sheer ignorance the stupidity in some peoples comments. First off ( my opinion) i really like the new style that Samsung has chosen, i believe that it makes the phone look very sleek and though it really makes a statement for itself... it does break up the monotony of using a cheap feeling plastic phone that most people who use Samsung are used to. My only problem with the new look (and its the same problem aesthetically i have with the iPhone 6/6 plus) is the protruding camera... me personally i don't use my phone on a flat surface but at the same time I do get careless with my phone sometimes and tend to set it down kinda hard and such and thus it does become a problem.. as far as no micro sd expansion, i can understand why they aren't able to implement it.. it would be very crippling to the performance of the phone if they included one, the new flash storage would be running cycles around it and it would not only kill battery to keep accessing such a slow media storage knowing your main drive is trying to run faster but it would also slow down the os like crazy and may even reduce the life span of the main drive while causing lag and all sorts of weird anomalies to happen so that is understandable... as far as battery wise goes, even though they don't allow us to change the battery out of the device the smaller footprint processor will most definitely be more efficient and the new display also being more efficient thus not needing a bigger battery... but time will tell, though in my opinion they could have easily made it swappable still -__- but i don't see it as much of a problem.. overall after looking at the shit storm of comments below -__- id say that everyone is judging this phone way to harshly when no one has even got there hands on it yet for a real review yet... my main hope from this gen galaxy device is that they increase single core performance because it has been terrible with the snap dragon processors.. and now with the exynos im hoping they fix it, other than that id say its pretty solid... also people need to stop saying this phone is a copy of the iPhone __ when clearly it isn't.. the only real worry (after owning a iPhone 4s) is the glass back on this phone which is a terrible idea. Im not going to sit here and say Samsung is better than apple or any of that shit because both companies have there very strong points and very weak points.. ive always switched between both companies because both are great companies, and the people down below this comment that seem to think that one or the other is shit and all of that well you people are very ignorant and need a lot of help, especially if you have looked for the past 4-5 years Samsung and apple are very very close and work together a lot.. and neither one of these companies are truly original in idea because all these technologies that we see today in phones have already been played somewhere so people saying apple copied this or Samsung, lg, htc copied that you all sound stupid because nothing in the mobile industry is original.
Really liking that Edge!
i like this review
is really sounds formal than usual
new style from michael ??
The look he gave to the guy when taking the selfie... lol
Sensacional. .sensacional. Os aparelhos ficaram lindos. Parabéns a Samsung
I'll wait for the super deluxe version. Cause now I finally learned my lesson. From the S: Captivate evolving to the S2 then to the S2: Skyrocket then the S3 to the S4 then the S4: Active. I have all these not including the Note line up to 3.
I like your reviews Michael,, thank you so much for your mentality and honestly
Regards
I said I would never get an android but this Samsung is actually really nice looking!! goodbye current iphone 6
I've said it before and i'll say it again. Michael Fisher is the best reviewer on youtube.
Awesome looking .....
Though I'll stick to my S5 for now
There's no denying how beautiful and powerful this phone is. If you want SD storage so bad, get a Note4! With Lollipop hitting the Note line soon I can't see why it would be a huge deal breaker.
Great...
Was about to get note 4 and this comes out
But the note's removable battery and s pen and bigger screen is pulling me there
At the same time s6 impresses me
-_- great, jusr effing great
Way to bite HTC one camera ui. Original LG optimus g glass front and back gorilla glass. What happened to the all aluminum body? Wow an aluminum side frame!! I still see touchwiz lag as well! I do like the looks of it compared to previous versions though! Between that and the M9 I'll stick with HTC!! The S6 has a great processor!! Exynos really did a great job!! Its faster than the snapdraggon 810 as far as benchmark scores are concerned. It's sad it's waisted on lagging touchwiz!!
The S5 didn't sell well because Samsung makes a great product. The phones are not inexpensive to many people and their older models continue functioning fairly well. There are only a few things they may not be able to run. I held onto my Galaxy Blaze S Blaze 4G until just the other day because it was fine. The only reason I upgraded at all is that the Blaze which now lacks a lot of support on flavors gave me a hassle with a smart watch. The market wouldn't even show the app to my phone, then I got that installed, then I had to figure out which OS it would run on it, then it would do everything up until the moment of finalizing the deal and not connect. However, it wasn't that it couldn't connect to the phone it did that fine just not to Casio's application.If I didn't have the ability to splurge at that moment no doubt I would have fixed the problem by the end of the night and continued blissfully for many moons. So really my tipping point was a G-Shock bluetooth and lack of patience because the phone is still awesome after more than three years. I do not enjoy phones for gaming and have been strictly PC for about twenty years. Iphone, lol you guys I'm tell you like this... you know it's going to lose. It's going to hold some little retro niche and it's going to bow out it doesn't matter how many Chinese kids they whip or parents that they chain up or how many nets they install.
Here in Sweden everyone is pre-ordering the Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge.
It's crazy
This or the m9?
The S6 is just a beauty! Take my money!
S5 ezy to fix and can always replace parts if needed o well not a major upgrade from s5 but maybe for s4 and older phones good luck
3:30 'There's no micro SD Expansion'
My reaction:Oooo......that's suckish
