+Nawnp MCPE Not really the nano does not really save that much space in modern phones and the data on the chip is the exact same! It only makes the phone have more overall space by about 2% compared to using a Micro Sim!
Darth Awar I know size isn't that much an issue anyways, what I said was future support so that if you change phones with nano sim to nano sim is better then micro to nano. As far as size is, it doesn't make much a difference on any smartphone, maybe size is a factor on a cellular smart watch?
Non-removable glass back, no SD card, no waterproofing or dustproofing... They wanted to make it more like an iPhone, so they adopted the iPhone's worst features.
+iDontbreakPS3 i like the glass panel, i have a powerbank. i like the no-sd card, cause i have dropbox and spotify and the watre-dustproof, don't be idiot to drop your Phone in the water and buy a waterproof case if you really worry
+iDontbreakPS3 nobody likes, but some don't mind. Actually most don't mind. For example me. I never remove the battery and i never use expandable storage, so all i see in the s6 is just improvements
I always felt like the S5, even though it's freaking ugly, wins for me. Because it's waterproof so I don't have to worry about it getting wet, it has SD expansion which I don't have to worry abut saving space, and it has a longer lasting battery. Those factors sadly makes it look like I should get an S5, but I want the S6 :(
Akshit Kapoor yes I already updated my gs5 it's a great new version the only inconvenience on this version is that the battery drains little faster than the 4.4.2.
Yeah bro, s5 is just more convenient. But It's understandable why they made the s6 so different. They just wanted to shit on the Iphone 6. I'm sticking with my gs5 though.
I don't understand why people care so much about design. I mean, when I buy a phone I don't buy it because it's fucking pretty, I buy it because of the specs, because of the features, because of what it can do. The S5 is a very good phone, I had my 4G+ version for a month now and I coudn't be more satisfied. Oh and In my humble opinion If you already have a S5 don't go for the S6, it looses a lot of features and It's not worth the upgrade.
Although I do like the design of the new S6, I don't see why they didn't make the sides look like the Note 4? The square design is easier to hold on, AND the Apple Lemmings wouldn't have called it a copycat of the iPhone's design. It didn't seem like a wise choice to me.
Howard B if they had just made a smaller note 4 I would've been a lot happier with the design. I get how the S6 stays more true to samsungs phone design that they started with the s3 but the s4 was such a good move in premium quality.
Howard B well it obviously is a copy of Apple's design ideas, but that's because they're getting more desperate after the huge profit crash that occurred after the s5 release
Personally, I would go S5 hands down. It looks like Samsung just copied apple. Android is known for its expandable storage and removable battery. I see no point in getting a phone that just looks nice. Sure it's fast and has a good camera, but you're really not going to notice a difference between the two phones. But this is just me, anyone agree?
I'm glad you don't disable the comments like other reviewers. I know their are lots of trolls but you also get real questions from people who respect you and pocket now. So thanks again. I still love my note 4 but the s6 and s6 active are very nice.
I like my S6. For waterproofing and expandable memory there's cases for that but I think they come in either or. I dunno if they have all extra battery life, water resistive, and expandable memory in one case. That's really nice about the S5 but I love the camera on the S6. I'm a bit of a photo bug.
why ppl care so much about the design idgaf I'm buying a cover no matter what the design looks I have an s4 right I forgot the last time I saw the actual phone lol
Rancy809 you have an s4 that's why you wouldn't care for the design. The s6 especially the edge is a sexy beast that needs to be paraded. Just don't drop it though.
Commandosoap777 have you tried using a s6? the internal storage speed is basically much faster than conventional ones, yeah that includes class 10 sd cards. Personally I never used a external sd and never removed my battery. So for me it's a great upgrade.
I live a highly sophisticated lifestyle which is why I exclusively use Porsche Design Blackberry phones. My cousin cleans out septic tanks for a living and he uses Windows Phone.
I've had my S5 for a year now and I really like this phone. It's my first android after using iPhone for a few years. The plastic faux metal sides and the 'Glam' back I really don't like haha but other than that I feel fine waiting to see what Note 5, and apple will offer later this year..
WOW this Channel is getting better and better, Unlike the other biased channels.. you guys really stick the the beauty of Android phones. Great job guys.
S5 isn't too bad, I'm using one myself, with a 64gb SD card, but right now I'm not gonna upgrade to the S6 just do to the fact there's no SD card slot, they couldn't do what Sony did and add it too the side?
Thank you for the comparison. I'm a construction worker and was thinking of upgrading but with the comment of tool belt you cleared my mind. Excellent reviews as always.
yea it was a father's day special at best buy.. free Samsung smart TV and a seperate Samsung promotion buy a galaxy s7 beetween like June 1st and 19th get a free vrgear
+haabesb There are several mine is called QI and you but a card that attaches to the case or battery and a dock/pad to place it on! Costs about 15 to 25 dollars down under!
Its so annoying when people whine about not having expandable memory and a removable battery. I have the iPhone 6, which has none of those. But id MUCH rather have a beautiful, sleek metal phone than a plastic piece of shit😂😍😍
Beatuty doesn't mean everything in phones. In fact iPhones don't even have some features that have been on android for a while. IPhones also are extremely limited lmao. Rather have an "ugly" phone instead if a phone that's pretty and has no features. Let me guess you're one of those people who do no research on the phone and just buy it because of the looks.
Oxi Clean I've had android too. Laggy, shitty things. And no I didn't have cheap ones. The last android phone i had was the galaxy s6 edge. And I'm still on my first iPhone, and I couldn't be any happier with the looks, performance, and camera quality! I'm in love!!
Aaaaaand that all doesn't matter when you get a case for it... Also have fun with the iphone bending because the aluminum isn't durable at all and it completely breaking because of sweat.
I want to know how battery life is on the galaxy S6 considering mixed daily usage gaming browsing videos ?I am not sure whether to get s6 or s5 I am currently on note 2
I want to get my first phone since I'm moving to middle school and I din't want the S4 because it is too outdated and I did't want to get an S7 because of how expensive it is and I'm not a big fan of the design. So I have the option between S5 and S6. Any suggestions?
Joep Stuyfzand well yeah good point bro but I dearly want to switch from samsung because it just got plain boring. Allways the same bloatware and shitty touchwiz
S6 all bullshit, S5 way better as it is waterproof, dustproof, removable battery, expandable memory... why the hell would u upgrade to a device which has less features and functionalities than the previous one, silly..
I love design, I have always usually been an Iphone user, I think the feel and look of the phone is just as important as the hardware itself. I got the gold platinum version s6 and expect it in tomorrow. As a user of both android and IOS, I think it's good to swap now and again, and now that samsung are taking notice of quality rather than the usual plastic stuff It makes my purchase so much more worth it.
I'm not highly in favor of any one manufacturer or OS over another but part of this proves a point that annoys me with almost all but Apple; even though you could argue iPhones might not have as many features to begin with, Apple never takes any steps backwards: even if only slightly, it's always perfected or improved in some way, but with Samsung (removal of expandable storage, removable battery, water/dust resistance etc.) and HTC (camera particularly: they're just jumping everywhere with the 2 sensors in the M8 then removing that and drastically changing megapixel count with no improvements or worse optics). It's annoying because people will like/need some of those features for them to just be removed instead of improved next generation and it just seems stupid to me.
Nah,the active variant looks like shit,actually looks pretty similar to the s5 active,but damn,i think is awesome,can you imagine those 3550mah with the 21% more power efficient panel,50% more memory efficient,80%more efficient with the chip that combines all the 3 chips of wifi,bluetooth and gps,atleast 50% more efficient processor (35% to the 20nm but the s5 active is 28nm,so is atleast 25% MORE efficient)and the efficient of the new ddr4 memory If you thought that the note 4 autonomy was great,then this one is going to be so fucking awesome
I use now the galaxy s5 for a long time. Samsung devices face a camera deamon bug and they still have not fixed that bug, Software updates are so poor and you have 0 response. You must restart again and again your device to use the camera or uninstall apps like viber, skype for a flagship this is a shame and other galaxy models face the same battery drain problem
I own an S5(octacore)... About the performence... it is smooth as butter (thanks to 5.0 update) And now it is avalable at pretty cheap price as compared to GS6... Cameras are simillar on both but s6 takes lead at night... Ofcourse GS6 is gr8t fone ... i like it very much But ... if u want a gud fone at cheap price GS5 is best at its pricerange (considering every aspect)
I still don't understand why looks are so important. When their size is so similar, you'd be hard pressed to spot the difference over 2ft away, especially if they were the same colour, and it would be near impossible when in hand. I'd go with the S5, simply because of my lifestyle. It is the better all rounder for sure and is only trumped slightly OIS on the S6's camera. I've not managed to slow my wife's S5's RAM even though it is 1Gb shy of the S6's. Save a boat load a cash and go with the S5. Or better still, the Note 4!
I am still stuck with the Galaxy S3, and don't know which to choose. Both have features the other would be better with. It's like COD: AW and Ghost. Maybe Samsung takes what users like and dislike and create a much better device. I don't take many pictures, so 32GB is plenty of storage. The main issue would be the battery life, in my opinion. The S5 being water/dust proof is an advantage, but then again, I am pretty good with taking care of my things.
Everyone wants a removable back AND a glass/premium quality phone so I think Samsung should put the battery on the side of the phone. They could put a latch kind of like the waterproofing hatch in front of the charging port on the s5, but a lot bigger and for a battery
The 5s is a good phone but the camera is lacking when it should be better since it's a 13 megapixel camera. The S6 is faster and have better resolution and camera display. The glass feel in the S6 makes the phone feel more expensive and feels similar to an iPhone. The S5 feels cheaper since the backing is plastic.
Waterproof and expandable memory is the only thing keeping me with the s5
JMVEntertainment SD card
zerolemon 4 life :)
R u on stock touchwiz ROM?
I'm running cm12.1 (android5.1) on mine
***** no they've tested the s6. Its secretly waterproof.
***** the s5 can go 3 feet underwater for 30mins
How the hell is a nano sim card a "feature"???
uNkLeRaRa4 Its just a cut out of a micro sim card. I don't know if thats really a feature as well.
It allows more future support, so potential. Then again it hurts current support so there is the who cares ideal.
+Ariel Jersey Jr It is but barely just like having Bluetooth in this day and age it's something that we kinda expect!
+Nawnp MCPE Not really the nano does not really save that much space in modern phones and the data on the chip is the exact same!
It only makes the phone have more overall space by about 2% compared to using a Micro Sim!
Darth Awar I know size isn't that much an issue anyways, what I said was future support so that if you change phones with nano sim to nano sim is better then micro to nano. As far as size is, it doesn't make much a difference on any smartphone, maybe size is a factor on a cellular smart watch?

+GotripGamer yeah. true, microsoft onedrive is my removeable storage :P
+RadioactivFly That is exactly what I have been saying they need to re-adopt all the S5 features they dropped for the S6!
Darth Awar
Well, I'm using an S5. And after my 2 years are up, I'll probably go to LG if Samsung doesn't get its shit together.
I always felt like the S5, even though it's freaking ugly, wins for me. Because it's waterproof so I don't have to worry about it getting wet, it has SD expansion which I don't have to worry abut saving space, and it has a longer lasting battery.
Those factors sadly makes it look like I should get an S5, but I want the S6 :(
Why care about the s6 superior build when you need a case over it anyway!?
i need a case for every fcking phone
hows the experience with the theme you are using on s6? and u did nt touch the software.. hows touchwiz with 40% less bloatware..
Akshit Kapoor pocketnow.com/2015/04/08/samsung-galaxy-s6-review ^M
Pocketnow we got 5.02 now so there is no lag now can u edit ur review
Have you received an update?? How's the experience after the update?
Akshit Kapoor yes I already updated my gs5 it's a great new version the only inconvenience on this version is that the battery drains little faster than the 4.4.2.
Arjana grande bing bing
What a pretty cat. The s6 really does have an amazing camera.
Looks yellow
Sputnik Spyglass well the lighting is yellow
Ankur Sahoo i mean in comparison with some shots of the 5
enzyme20056 a pretty cat O.o?
but a s6 has no storage, can you save the photos you took? or no.
Samsung really tried to make a iPhone 6 spinoff...I have the s5 and I couldn't be happier
Sorry but the s6 demolishes the iphone six
Yeah bro, s5 is just more convenient. But It's understandable why they made the s6 so different. They just wanted to shit on the Iphone 6. I'm sticking with my gs5 though.
Reaper Phenmenom which c I'll colour? I got the gold one
I have all black, true plus facts that they made it just like the iPhone 6 except better just to show that they "got it like that".
I don't understand why people care so much about design. I mean, when I buy a phone I don't buy it because it's fucking pretty, I buy it because of the specs, because of the features, because of what it can do.

Dennis Wibe except that was not a highend smartphone. making a pretty device isn't good enough either it has to be good too.

Michael's videos just keep improving- keeps me a fan of pocketnow

I dunno if they have all extra battery life, water resistive, and expandable memory in one case. That's really nice about the S5 but I love the camera on the S6. I'm a bit of a photo bug.
I really liked how you ended the comparison with describing those two situations at the end of the video!
why ppl care so much about the design idgaf I'm buying a cover no matter what the design looks I have an s4 right I forgot the last time I saw the actual phone lol
Rancy809 you have an s4 that's why you wouldn't care for the design. The s6 especially the edge is a sexy beast that needs to be paraded. Just don't drop it though.
Eco Box lol paraded
Exactly
Under 301 club! Also, great comparison Michael. So interesting to see the differences between these phones.
Where can I get that weather widget shown in the beginning?
"1950s diner stool edges" is exactly how i described the s5...Michael Fisher have my babies, i think we're soulmates
ok i have to say this,this guy has the best voice for reviewing phone,love then he does the reviews i alway understand clearly
So basically the s6 is an s6 with less battery life and less features.... good job Samsung!
Commandosoap777 Or less annoying features and many tests actually show that the S5 and S6 do about the same in battery life.
Not really....
Waterproof,SD card,revoable battery were all useful things
. I ment s5 sorry for the error
The only reason ppl like it cuz the design was changed other wise this Is a step down from the s5 epically I'm battery
Commandosoap777 have you tried using a s6? the internal storage speed is basically much faster than conventional ones, yeah that includes class 10 sd cards. Personally I never used a external sd and never removed my battery. So for me it's a great upgrade.
S5 !!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The fact that the S6 no longer has a SD Card slot feels like the ultimate betrayal.. But it does look beautiful
I live a highly sophisticated lifestyle which is why I exclusively use Porsche Design Blackberry phones. My cousin cleans out septic tanks for a living and he uses Windows Phone.
K
Mike Moore lol
Michael Fisher does it again with the best tech reviews!!
This man's reviews are so good. Amazes me every time.
We need to get Pocketnow past the 1 Million sub mark peoples. Excellent review as always Michael. Love ur radio voice.
I've had my S5 for a year now and I really like this phone. It's my first android after using iPhone for a few years. The plastic faux metal sides and the 'Glam' back I really don't like haha but other than that I feel fine waiting to see what Note 5, and apple will offer later this year..
WOW this Channel is getting better and better, Unlike the other biased channels.. you guys really stick the the beauty of Android phones. Great job guys.
I love how the lollipop update for the AT&T s4 and s5 come out a day before your comparison lol
I'm hoping to upgrade to the s6 soon and I'm truly excited about it, I really think samsung hit it out of the park with this phone!
S5 isn't too bad, I'm using one myself, with a 64gb SD card, but right now I'm not gonna upgrade to the S6 just do to the fact there's no SD card slot, they couldn't do what Sony did and add it too the side?
Very timely review Michael Fisher 👍🏽
Wich theme are u using?
Thank you for the comparison. I'm a construction worker and was thinking of upgrading but with the comment of tool belt you cleared my mind. Excellent reviews as always.
I'm getting galaxy s5
which currently I'm using iphone 6 now and I'm not happy 😒
Stefan Kuzmanov better buy 2016's flagships.The iphone 6 sucks.
I just traded my s6 edge plus in for a S5 plus. and i never ever was so happy with an "downgrade"
Awesome comparison Michael, keep up the brilliant work guys
Whats the widget app you're using ????
Could you make a video that'll help me decide whether to get the s6 or the s6 edge
ended up waiting to upgrade now I have the s7.... patience paid off.... came with a free smart TV and
vr gear as well
lol nice m8
stop lyin only came with gear
yea it was a father's day special at best buy.. free Samsung smart TV and a seperate Samsung promotion buy a galaxy s7 beetween like June 1st and 19th get a free vrgear
So no comparison between processors and speed???
Awesome comparison. Oh yeah, It's M. Fisher.
Nice video! Can anybody tell me what blueprint tablecloth they are using. It would be cool for a study table.
As always, great comparison review, thanks.
You should do a Galaxy S6 versus a Galaxy Note 4 video Pocketnow
can you please do a comparison between the s6 and note 4 :)
Should've put little info on the active. But other then that great video man 😁👍🏽
samsung galaxy s5 is better than the samsung galaxy s6. I am getting s5 i cannot wait
Hows the s5 battery life?
Horrible
Dont listen to him i have an s5 and the battery life is doing great i am charging it in teo days but i am playing on it 24,7
I fixed the battery is now alright
alright thanks you guys!
I like your comparison between this 2 phones very understandable ..keep up the good work 👍
So does anyone know what that Star Trek app was that he was using?
what is that wireless charging addon called for the s5 ?
+haabesb There are several mine is called QI and you but a card that attaches to the case or battery and a dock/pad to place it on!
Costs about 15 to 25 dollars down under!
so...what you're saying is:
if you're a classy high-flyer = S6
normal every-man = S5
Great comparison! I like the new finger scanner on the lock screen more than on the S5, but I don't think it's worth the upgrade.
does the S6 have double tap to turn on and double tap to put in stanby? thats really the only feature i find important? which has that
Whats the battery life like on a daily regular usage on the s6
Great Review again Michael.
Its so annoying when people whine about not having expandable memory and a removable battery. I have the iPhone 6, which has none of those. But id MUCH rather have a beautiful, sleek metal phone than a plastic piece of shit😂😍😍
ok
lol enjoy your limited I phone

Aaaaaand that all doesn't matter when you get a case for it... Also have fun with the iphone bending because the aluminum isn't durable at all and it completely breaking because of sweat.
When's the s6 active supposed to drop?
That was a great review mike.
I don't understand 4k video. It is only 2160 lines. How do they get the 4k. You figure it would be a 4320 resolution at 4k.
The Galaxy S 5 on the Sprint Network already offered enhanced LTE FYI
I want to know how battery life is on the galaxy S6 considering mixed daily usage gaming browsing videos ?I am not sure whether to get s6 or s5 I am currently on note 2
I want to get my first phone since I'm moving to middle school and I din't want the S4 because it is too outdated and I did't want to get an S7 because of how expensive it is and I'm not a big fan of the design.
So I have the option between S5 and S6. Any suggestions?
s6 is good i am using on
does s6 hv fast charging like s7?
xoluELF07 Yup
go for the S5 neo, yes the S6 is a bit better, buttttttt.....the S5 neo is less expensive en is working fine.
Rick Drent Thanks for the feedback.
S6 2018...nouget 7.0 yeahhh finally
How can you download or bring that avengers theme in the Galaxy S4?? I love it, it's awesome Pocketnow 😍
the s5 is mhl supported too. one of the newest phones with it. meaning I can watch showbox str8 from my phone to tv with an mhl cord
Fantastic review. You guys rock! Thank you.
All my hope is in the G4
Kurt A. Didnt like the S6?
Joep Stuyfzand to small
Kurt A. Hahaha, get the Note 4 :)
Joep Stuyfzand well yeah good point bro but I dearly want to switch from samsung because it just got plain boring. Allways the same bloatware and shitty touchwiz
Same here 😃
What's that launcher on the s5?
I'm still on my S5, because i love the removable battery, plus micro sd card slot and dust & water resistant.
1.37 What is the theme of the Samsung Galaxy s6 ?
In Jan 2016 I went for the S5 instead of the s6/7, removable battery is what I prefer over ram and processor power
Your reviews are Amazing
Excellent analogy in the conclusion!
The s5 charges with usb 3.0 but doesnt have fast charging and still charges faster than s6 with quick charging? lol what
S6 all bullshit, S5 way better as it is waterproof, dustproof, removable battery, expandable memory... why the hell would u upgrade to a device which has less features and functionalities than the previous one, silly..
Why the hell would you think that not being waterproof means it's not a good phone?
+Jordan Semmel Rekt
exactly, I'll stick to my s5
my s5 is terrible
Zane Zinn why
best review yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love design, I have always usually been an Iphone user, I think the feel and look of the phone is just as important as the hardware itself. I got the gold platinum version s6 and expect it in tomorrow. As a user of both android and IOS, I think it's good to swap now and again, and now that samsung are taking notice of quality rather than the usual plastic stuff It makes my purchase so much more worth it.
stunning comparison i have ever seen
is it good if i get a samsung S5 in 2017?
This video was so helpful! Thanks you!
I'm not highly in favor of any one manufacturer or OS over another but part of this proves a point that annoys me with almost all but Apple; even though you could argue iPhones might not have as many features to begin with, Apple never takes any steps backwards: even if only slightly, it's always perfected or improved in some way, but with Samsung (removal of expandable storage, removable battery, water/dust resistance etc.) and HTC (camera particularly: they're just jumping everywhere with the 2 sensors in the M8 then removing that and drastically changing megapixel count with no improvements or worse optics). It's annoying because people will like/need some of those features for them to just be removed instead of improved next generation and it just seems stupid to me.
can you ever do an s6 vs s4 review and both are running lollipop to see if it is really worth the upgrade, probably wont answer Pocketnow
Good review as always. ..thanks
Curious Question: will there be an Active version of the S6??
With a hugeeee battery
3500mah or 3550mah (bigger than the Note 4 battery lol)
Awesome. Hope it looks just as good!
Nah,the active variant looks like shit,actually looks pretty similar to the s5 active,but damn,i think is awesome,can you imagine those 3550mah with the 21% more power efficient panel,50% more memory efficient,80%more efficient with the chip that combines all the 3 chips of wifi,bluetooth and gps,atleast 50% more efficient processor (35% to the 20nm but the s5 active is 28nm,so is atleast 25% MORE efficient)and the efficient of the new ddr4 memory
If you thought that the note 4 autonomy was great,then this one is going to be so fucking awesome
I still love my s5
the ATT lollipop update was outted yesterday for the s5 Pocketnow
Say what you want about the S5,
It is more clumsy friendly, (ie) drop resistant,
than any other iteration of Samsung phone that has lead into 2020.
I use now the galaxy s5 for a long time.
Samsung devices face a camera deamon bug and they still have not fixed that bug, Software updates are so poor and you have 0 response. You must restart again and again your device to use the camera or uninstall apps like viber, skype for a flagship this is a shame and other galaxy models face the same battery drain problem
I own an S5(octacore)...
About the performence... it is smooth as butter (thanks to 5.0 update)
And now it is avalable at pretty cheap price as compared to GS6...
Cameras are simillar on both but s6 takes lead at night...
Ofcourse GS6 is gr8t fone ... i like it very much
But ... if u want a gud fone at cheap price
GS5 is best at its pricerange (considering every aspect)
Why do the US versions of the S6 have Galaxy S6 on the back? Because my European one doesn't.
Awesome review, thank you!
I still don't understand why looks are so important. When their size is so similar, you'd be hard pressed to spot the difference over 2ft away, especially if they were the same colour, and it would be near impossible when in hand.
I'd go with the S5, simply because of my lifestyle. It is the better all rounder for sure and is only trumped slightly OIS on the S6's camera. I've not managed to slow my wife's S5's RAM even though it is 1Gb shy of the S6's.
Save a boat load a cash and go with the S5. Or better still, the Note 4!
So does any one know why they removed the interchangeable back cover on the s6?
Which phone battery life lasts longer the Samsung s5 or the Samsung s6 ?
I am still stuck with the Galaxy S3, and don't know which to choose. Both have features the other would be better with. It's like COD: AW and Ghost. Maybe Samsung takes what users like and dislike and create a much better device. I don't take many pictures, so 32GB is plenty of storage. The main issue would be the battery life, in my opinion. The S5 being water/dust proof is an advantage, but then again, I am pretty good with taking care of my things.
Everyone wants a removable back AND a glass/premium quality phone so I think Samsung should put the battery on the side of the phone. They could put a latch kind of like the waterproofing hatch in front of the charging port on the s5, but a lot bigger and for a battery
Its odd how the s5 and older note3 are the only samsung devices with usb 3.0
The 5s is a good phone but the camera is lacking when it should be better since it's a 13 megapixel camera. The S6 is faster and have better resolution and camera display. The glass feel in the S6 makes the phone feel more expensive and feels similar to an iPhone. The S5 feels cheaper since the backing is plastic.
