Even till this day, I think the galaxy s6 edge was the best looking phone ever made
Edge plus was actually
im still using this phone in 2023 as my main phone and i use it with custom rom Android 12 Lineage OS on it and runs amazing like butter
@@MarcusStuff_ that's right! I like how android gives you a backdoor method to get newer versions of Operating System. on your older android phones and its insane bro!
Using my S6 Edge with 5.0.2 Lollipop
@@DavidNgo86 wow
@@official_kryshh8141
1)unlock the bootloader
2)Orange fox custom recovery
3) flash the custom rom + kernel
What about display?is there any burn issue?
This was the first and last Samsung phone I've owned. I went from this to the Pixel 2 XL in 2017. I liked the S6 it was a good phone, but near the end the battery life was HORRIBLE. But good memories with this phone.
Yes it had no Protection mechanisms against battery damage, maybe intentionally by Samsung. If the device reached 100% by charging, it will drain the battery even if USB charger is connected and then by 95% recharge it to 100%. This cycle repeats every 20 minutes and imagine what happens over many nights
Reminds me of older 2009 MacBook Pros, the batteries were there even more horrible and after 2 years they had 30 % capacity
Nobody hated this phone. It's still one of the best transition S5
They hated the small battery and no expandable storage
I hated no SD card
@@DavidNgo86 say hello to edge plus
@@mannyblackstar not a very popular device judging by how many are on the used market compared to a Note 4 or S5
@@Pleasing_view oh ye and now your vwey happy with phones yes, you lucky if the phone supports a physical sim. But when Samsung tried it for the 1st time everyone has an issue.
I actually had to use my S6 again as my main phone back in 2021.
I accidently broke my S20 Ultra and I wasn't able to get a new phone at the time, so my only option was to go back to my S6. It was kinda crazy using a 2015 flagship phone for modern times haha. It's software never updated since 2015, either. It's still running its original Android version and Touch UI. I'm surprised it was able to run some of the more intensive mobile games I was into. Though it was laggy and the phone got super hot lol.
I eventually got an S22 Ultra a year later, but I still used the S6 as my work phone for another year. Then I finally decided to retire my S6 (again) earlier this year and replaced it with a Pixel to use as my new work phone.
I gotta say, the S6 is by far the most durable phone I have ever used. I'm a clumsy guy and I've broken a lot of phones throughout the years (Note 3, S8, S9, S20 Ultra), but the S6 has withstood YEARS of my usage and STILL works today. I love this phone.
Awesome video! Watching this from my Samsung Galaxy S6 😎
My dream phone back in the day, the design is beautiful.
I had a white s6 and I loved it so much. I can't even remember why I stopped using it, or if it broke
I still have it, replaced the battery, flashed LineageOS (Android 12L). Smooth af
It was the best software experience back then. But in 2021/2 I tried to set it up from scratch (after total reset) and it is extremely slow, maybe for many reasons including that the chipset has slowed down massively. Even included apps like the remote app have become very intrusive with ads. Not to mention the battery and the micro usb port that are weak points after many years on this device
he says don't even consider it but for anyone who has less than £70 or wants to spend on a phone it's a good option. I wouldn't use it as my daily driver but it's capable and many apps still work. Things to consider with this phone: uses Micro usb, no micro sd slot, has headphone slot and battery may be badly degraded.
A phone is an investment, nobody should go out there way to buy this even with 70 pounds. It just makes no sense.
@@vividR15 A phone should be a investment but given the failure rate and planned obsolesce tactics of the manufactures. There have been known issues with the iphone 14 with freezing and other software glitches.
All I'm saying is it's more worth while getting a S6 (providing it's in working order and decent battery) over a cheap android phone the same price which built like garbage and many stop working very quickly.
@@rodderlayne7198 yes i agree, much better than a cheap android phone at that price range. 👍
My S6 Edge I bought off Ebay for dirt cheap due to a cracked glass on the bottom right edge has a bad battery but running Android 5.0.2
You can get a s9 for that price
still have this phone as my tv remote love it
Still use it up to today
Custom rom and rooted?
Using the Edge with stock Lollipop Touchwiz
@@DavidNgo86 really nice I still use S4 mini
I always admired this phone!!! Samsung really stepped that year, in terms of quality and design. It no longer felt cheap, and felt WAY more premium (maybe even more premium than the iPhone 6/6s). This and the S6 Edge had such a GREAT touch to them, and the AMOLED screen was AMAZING!!! This phone did aged well!!!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6. It was my first phone that I got from my dad in 2019. It has very bad battery life (could go at the max 3 hours). The charge port was messed up (it being my first phone and beliving everything on TikTok) I made it worse. I decided I didn't like the OtterBox that was on it and took it off. That was the worst mistake I ever made. It cracked the phone a lot. To where a few days before Christmas of 2020, it cracked to where the screen didn't come on. I still wished I didn't do that.
US model Samsung phones since the S7 have had locked bootloaders. International models can be rooted still.
Also I use S4 mini unlock bootloader I changed rom
Can you connect an external monitor and keyboard in this phone?
I'm actually using one for a backup when I fix my current notw 10 plus :) still holds up for your basic needs :) outdated sure but in a pinch it's good for the basic needs these days

Everyone hated the removal of the SD card slot back in the day, but now, none seems to care.
Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 edge 128GB
It was too early to do it at the time. Most phones only had like 64 GB
Because Apple and tech bloggers have conditioned people to accept it
128 gb isn't a good reason to remove key features. Even tho storage has increased, so has pic size and app size.
I used to own this phone I loved it! It was one of my favorite phones.
Except unsupported and "unsecure", what exactly do you dislike in the software 7:14?
I still have one and use it as a secondary smartphone and would use it as a primary without any problems
we dont care about software lol there is custom roms like even android 13 on the s2!!
Lol
How ??
with custom roms bro didnt you know about that?@@heis_Ochepo
I’m using this now until I get my iPhone 13 pro back from repair and it’s absolutely crap and slow
my s6 rn is trash mine is stuck at android 6 idk why but it cant update to android 8 it keeps failing to update once it reach 70%
my s6 has its bezzels burnt on its top layer (idk why) but it works just looks ugly on the front but the back is absolutely amazing still
thinking of reusing it again 😅
This was my favorite phone from Samsung and my favorite iPhone was the first gen se
This phone have everything a phone should have.
I have this phone with gear VR.
Best thing😏✌️💪
is phone is amazing. i threw it at the wall as hard as I at the wall and it still works.
Just reanimated mine. My main smartphone is iPhone 13 pro. I got a phone addiction, so i thought that i can use Samsung S6 for a while. Made a reset to factory settings. I should say that for current tasks it is not enough. Idk why, but it lags A LOT! I now intend to get iPhone SE because apparently it's still good.
I had my s6 edge for a long time. Just put a new battery in it and factory reset it and it happened to fix the lagging.
try upgrading the s6 to android 12 or 13 for my s4 from android 5.0 to 11 made it faster
Bro i need a second separate phone for VR in 2023.
Because i cant use my main phone for VR since its eating up the battery very fast.
I'm keeping the eye on the s6. Bcs it has a one of a best displays and will be lot cheaper.
My problem is will this phone supports "google vr services (play store app)" in 2023 ?
Please someone help me.
Mine still runs sweet
They should never strayed from that design
The software issue can be solved with a custom rom
does it run snap ok?
Nice
My friend had this back in the day
I watch this video multiple time in samsung galaxy s6
I watching this on s6 edge lol
Same but mine is running 5.0.2 Lollipop
@@DavidNgo86 I watch on my S4 mini
I have still my Samsung Galaxy S6 128GB
Really congratulations bro😊😊🎉
My phone ❤
I m watching on my s6 and waiting for the update .bet it comes
How long does battery of s6 last, normal usage of social apps(whatsapp,insta,fb) and TH-cam?or whatever your experience is kindly share and guide me i want to buy it as my main mobile...i need it for calling, whatsapp, youtube videos(not much as i have tab for it) and hotspot.
This phone did not have IP certification, the Active probably did but never this. I owned the Samsung exclusive teal coloured one back in the day. And it only got up to Nougat in updates, Oreo (8) never arrived. Compare that with the iPhone 6S which received new iOS until last year, easy to see why these are forgotten.
and look at how the iphone 6 performs, i own one and no matter what i do it still feels laggy
@@MacTTR the 6 and 6S are different phones. I own a 6S and it still works fine on 15.4.
yes, but most of the time iphones are really laggy on the latest version of ios that they can run (like the 5 on ios 10) but samsung knows what they are doing... they are limiting the phone to the last "smooth" android verison
@@MacTTR Using a 10 year old phone as an example is very lame, and pretty much yesterday's news. When iOS 10 was released the 5 was already four years old, and part of Phonegate where Apple were slowing down the phones on purpose. Samsung didn't limit updates to give the best user experience, they did it to force people to upgrade. But now that more and more Android users are moving to iOS, they have no choice but to offer more updates, and that's why they're offering four years of updates now, which is still behind Apple.
Lol y'all are tripping, iPhones usually only lag when the battery needs replacing.
You know that Samsung galaxy s6 has remote control sensor on the top of the phone
I still use this phone today I use it at work
Well because tech bloggers moaned about "flimsy plastic ".
This was insane back in the days
I used it its very good phone
Still have S6 for sprint, also charging port doesnt work need to charge it wireless 😂
This phone is a lot different and a MUCH improved version of the galaxy s5! EXCELLENT good specs, even to this day! However, the battery is really bad. Be aware of that. I'm glad it still performs well and it has great display and camera! Android 7 may be unsupported, but you'll still have ample apps and lots of capability! I wouldn't mind recommending this, and it would be a good backup or a good hand-me-down for a young child and for an older grandparent. Just be aware of the battery!🔋
Can't we change battery
1,5 years ago i still had one
Told me in the first 15 seconds not to buy, so I stopped watching the video. Thanks for saving me time 🤣🤣🤣
this phone is the reason apple users even got glass phones today give the credit where it's due just gonna keep it real
I have a Samsung j7 which I'm using rn lemme tell ya it's nowhere close to bad lmao
My favorite phone ever was the 6 😢
IR blaster
One UI Sucks
"dont buy this phone, buy THIS phone that costs 5x as much"
I‘m watching this on my Galaxy S6 🥲
What is your experience with this phone and battery timing on screen with low to medium brightness?im planning to buy it
@@xariusa3089 I've had it for over 8 years so the battery is almost dead now. I can't really tell you
⛔️😐IF YOU INSTALL LINEAGEOS 20 YOU WILL HAVE ANDROID 12,and everything is just perfect
i upgraded from a s6 today, google decided my phone was unable to run my bank apps anymore from the play store. FU google
Well you aren't doing that well if you're still using an s6.. google doesn't need losers.
They probably kept your bank account from getting hacked using old software. Shame on them #Sarcasm
@@mikecarr1484It's not about being loser but it's sar value less than 0.5 is there any updated mobile phone that has this value? They all have 1.5
