Have owned an S3, S4, Note 4, and now S6. Samsung makes an excellent product. The S6 was for my son who is at college studying to be an engineer. He LOVES this phone. The phone is fast, sleek, logical, intuitive and highly functional. We are amazed at each successive generation for the improvements and innovation that bring the Samsung product along. One benefit not often though of is that Samsung seems to develop and support software updates more frequently. They roll out the updates to many other older generations of their lines too which means your phone stays much more functional and safe for the time you own it. Some brands do not seem to roll out updates as Samsung does-it is not that there are issues but that they constantly innovate. This fact along is reason enough to purchase a S6 but paired with the excellent aesthetics and quality build-you can't go wrong. **Please note-I do not recommend trading in your old cell phone through Amazon. The phone that this new S6 replaced was sent in it's original box, in perfect working order with excellent battery & original equipment cables having been protected by cases & screen protectors throughout it's 2 yrs of usage. It very clearly met the criteria listed for being in the top tier yet it was downgraded to a lower value. After it a long shipping voyage there, now they shipped it back (not yet received!) taking many weeks! Amazon evidently uses vendors to evaluate trade ins-had I know it was a third party then I would never have bothered! This is a money making venture but not for you the consumer. Don't make the mistake of factoring in a trade in for your purchase of a new phone. If you do decide to flip the coin and try it-take photos of the phone, photos of serial numbers and photos of every single thing. I do not recommend that you use Amazon trade in for your old phone. This one was in perfect condition and only 2 years old top quality-premium phone still sold today! Better to keep it as a spare of donate it & write it off your taxes. Very frustrated and extremely dis-satisfied by the trade in experience-especially as it was through Amazon. I honestly expect more and this will influence whether I purchase another phone through Amazon or if I go to my carrier who had an offer of $100 for trade in value on this phone. Lesson learned-it pays to shop around and factor in your trade in value with the purchase but I choose to be loyal to Amazon rather than my carrier. Some things we don't like are NO SD card! Though you can readily use cloud services of many kinds to safeguard your info, many of us still prefer to have that SD card. I also am not a huge fan of not being able to remove the battery myself. This model moves towards the Apple method of doing things where any little thing you want done has to be done at a store, shipped in or can't be done! Screen: The Gorilla glass is excellent and top quality. The clarity and resolution of the screen is outstanding-just when I thought my Note 4 was the greatest, they go and improve within the few months between the time that it came out and the new S6. Conclusion: I highly recommend this phone. We have two tablets, and have had five Samsung phones and been very happy with them all. They work well together and the quality is outstanding.

The Galaxy S6 is an outstanding smartphone. Not to be confused with its sibling, the S6 Edge, it makes up for the lack of a touch screen that extends to the sides of the phone with its lower price. Otherwise the phones are identical in features and capabilities which are long and impressive. The screen, with is slightly larger than the S5, is bright and, to date, has the highest resolution of any smartphone and is extremely responsive with virtually no noticeable lag when touched. Although it does not have the Snapdragon processor, which is the fastest in the industry, it does have two slower quad-core processors working in tandem which gives the phone phenomenal speed and multitasking capabilities. The improvements added since the S5 are built-in wireless charging capabilities that meet the Q1 standard, Gorilla Glass 4, the latest shock resistant touch glass from Corning. The already impressive camera is improved with an increased aperture enabling a greater sensitivity to ambient light and much wider pictures to accompany a superb auto focusing system. And addressing the complaints of the S5's plastic case, the S6 has a thinner and lighter aluminum body. The thinner body also makes the S6 ideal for use with a protective case or shell. Lastly, the latest version of Android seems perfectly suited for each feature of the phone, especially the S6 Edge, making it more than a match for Apple's iPhone 6 in both speed and ease of use while exceeding it in capabilities and functionality. However, the S6 does have its drawbacks but they are few. Like the S4 and S5, the battery life is pretty much just below average, most likely due to supporting the twin processors and that bright, hi-res screen. But unlike the S4 and S5, the battery in the S6 is not removable so you can't upgrade it with an increased capacity aftermarket version. This is most like due to the wireless charging capability. Samsung claims to combat this issue with built-in power management software that can extend battery life, enable rapid charging and improve battery performance as it learns the characteristics of the battery in conjunction with your usage patterns. I can attest that the S6 does charge fairly quickly although slightly slower using wireless charging. And Q1 wireless charging can be a quirky since the power adapter must match the amperage and voltage of the Samsung S6 adapter precisely for it to work reliably. If you're intent on using wireless charging, I recommend using a Q1 charger with an extra Samsung S6 adapter. It also only has a single, although highly capable, speaker which is surprisingly loud considering its small size. Like the S5, the S6 delivers much better high fidelity stereo sound when using the speaker jack or a bluetooth speaker/headphone connection. Another drawback is that the S6 has no MicroSD card slot so you are limited to built-in memory. However, Samsung does offer three memory options (32, 64 and 128 GB) as opposed to the usual two (16 / 32 or 32 / 64 GB) which entail additional costs with each increase in memory (another reason to opt for an S6 with increased memory as opposed to an S6 Edge for the same price). Overall, the S6 is an excellent response from Samsung after the unimpressive sales performance of the S5. While the S6 Edge is definitely the best looking smartphone on the market, you may not find its side areas worth the added expense when compared to the normal S6. The regular S6, though, has the edge (no pun intended) over its more glamorous sibling simply because the additional money required to purchased an Edge can be used to increase the built-in memory which, in my opinion, will do more to extend the functional life of the phone giving you more room for applications and other software. I definitely consider this phone to be the best on the market to date and have no problem recommending it for anyone looking for a phone packed with features and capabilities.

This phone was purchased on December 09, 2015 from Amazon and it was delivered on December 11, 2015. I chose the 128GB version because Samsung chose not to give the purchaser the ability to add a micro SD card. Over the years I have had many cell phones. Sony, Casio and Motorola and now my second Samsung. My first Samsung (S5) was returned within days due to a factory problem. I ordered a Otterbox Commuter case when I purchased my S6 and it works great and is still small enough to fit in my pocket when I go out. Pros: **The phone is a comfortable size for my hand (2.78 inches, 0.27 inches, 5.65 inches) and has a good size screen and the resolution is fantastic. Everything looks incredibly sharp and vibrant on this phone. **Easy to use UI that is not very different from any other android phone and very easy to use. **The camera takes the best pictures of any cell phone I have every owned and has some great features if you take pictures constantly you will really like this camera **The availability of the Samsung wireless charger which I have and love. **I use my phone as a hotspot for my tablet all day long and so far have had no problem with the battery running down before the end of the day. Cons: **No SD card slot therefore you can not expand your memory beyond 16GB, 32GB or the 128GB phone you purchased. If you save a lot of items to your phone you may run out of memory quicker that you think. Some of us choose NOT to send our personal information to the cloud and would like the ability to save everything to our phone with out having to spend an extra couple of hundred dollars to get the extra memory space. **The battery is not removable. I like to hold on to my phone as long as possible before purchasing a new one. The limiting factor seems to be the battery life. On previous phones I could just go to Amazon and find a new OEM battey for my phone an drop it in but, with this phone that is not a available option. The single biggest CON I have for this phone is that on February 1, 2015 (just 52 days after getting it) my new S6 lost all google services. No google search, google play store, google apps or any other other items associated with google worked at all. At the end of three days of researching and numerous phone calls (called my carrier, Google, Samsung) my S6 was able to be fixed by the third Samsung representative at the local Best Buy. Just in case this happens to anyone else I will include the steps she had to take to fix my phone. 1: Log out of G-Mail. 2: Update firmware (the Samsung rep has to do this). 3: Go to application manager and clear data for all Google apps. 4: Factory reset the phone. After much checking on line and with the forums it seems that according to the forums about fifteen to twenty percent of the Samsung S5 and S6 phone have this problem. The problem is fixable but, really annoying. One more thing if you have a vehicle with bluetooth make sure to check that your vehicle supports your new phone model. Over all the phone works great and does what it was designed to do. I'm not sure if I would purchase another Samsung phone or not and only time will tell if it woks great in the long haul or if I go back to Motorola.

Very impressed with not only this, but also the distributer for it. I was very hesitant on purchasing a phone second hand, as this was my first android device, and also the first phone I bought off-contract, so i wanted to be sure i was satisfied. To my surprise, this phone came in in AMAZING condition, with no scratches on the glass front or back, and all the buttons and ports working perfectly. The only blemishes are on the top and bottom rails, but I definitely did not mind this since it's a lot better than the glass being scratched. The one biggest fear I had was the battery condition, as I have learned from previous experience that phone batteries are always the first thing to go. And again, the battery in this phone was in exceptional condition, so no need to change it out! Now on to the phone, the phone is your standard top-of-the-line flagship and it definitely has beaten any phones i have previously used. The screen is VERY bright and the colors are fantastic, and the 1440p display really shows the capabilities of this device. I waited a little over a month before posting a review to be sure the phone had no 'surprises' soon after i got it, as that sometimes happens with used devices, however i am very pleased with this and highly recommend anyone to purchase this phone, and do not fear buying it used as long as you can see the device before buying it. The only complaints i have to this phone is 1. the battery, as stated above, is not removable. The battery life definitely isn't the best, but if you pick up a fast charger like i did, you'll instantly forgive it. I have work and school and have made it to the end of the day without killing the battery, which is good enough for me. 2. While it may be different per person, the seller i purchased my phone from stated it came with a generic charger, in which is true. I do recommend picking up a fast charger, however i do wish the seller included it. Nevertheless, that is a small complaint because they are very cheap and easy to get, in the end, i recommend this phone highly, even by today's standards it holds up very well against other phones, and even my sister who has a 6s loves using this!

Bought this phone used to hold me over about 4 weeks until my new phone arrives. This phone has terrible input lag in general. 90% of the time you tap something on the screen, it will take a few seconds to register. When I am texting, there are times where I can type 3-4 words before it shows up on screen. Majority of the time it's at least 1 word delay. Apps will take forever to load, or not respond. I've tried upgrading and downgrading firmware with same results. Battery life is horrible, phone sitting idle over night lost 64%. Should've taken that into consideration since this phone has a non-replaceable battery. If you are going to buy a used phone, I personally would buy a phone with a replaceable battery, and buy a new battery along with it next time. This phone also gets very hot while doing very little. I tried closing all open apps, and have only the internet browser open, and just browsing alone, the phone can get hot enough where you dont want to hold it. That was fixed by getting a phone case, but you can still feel the warmth through it. I could live with the short life of the battery, but can't get over of how slow and terrible the OS is running.

I've had this phone a couple months now and it works great. I upgraded from a Galaxy S2, which used to get overheated sometimes when charging or even just when using it a lot. The S6 has never yet overheated and it's obviously much faster than my old phone. The fingerprint reader works really well. There are some times when it doesn't read my thumbprint at first try, but I just re-place my thumb and it usually works after that. It seems to be as accurate as the fingerprint reader on my wife's iphone 6 plus. I also bought the Samsung wireless charging pad and I can charge the phone even with the Spigen TPU case on it. I do have to make sure the phone is centered on the charging pad, but I'd rather deal with that than wear out the micro USB port like on my old phone. The downside of the wireless charging is that sometimes the charging stops after reaching 100% during the night. So I'll wake up to my phone having dropped down to 94% or so. Sometimes the charger does seem to keep it at 100%, but I'm not sure why it doesn't do that all the time. Speaking of charging, the battery life on this phone is great. Even if I start the morning at like 94%, I can spend time surfing the web in the morning before work or listening to the radio over the phone (using bluetooth speaker). Then I'll use the phone occasionally during the day and I almost never have to worry about topping up the battery during the day. On my old phone (even with a new battery) I always had to top off the battery during the day. With the S6, the battery is plenty for most days of typical use for me. I can even go for a long bike ride using Strava and will have plenty of battery life left when I get home. Finally, I bought this phone at a nice discount using Amazon Warehouse Deals. It was listed as "like new" and it really was. I couldn't find any blemishes or defects on the phone at all.

Initiallunch, I was going to give this a 1-star review because i ordered the 128gb version but received a 32gb phone! Very, very frustrating. However, Amazon chat rep was very helpful. Although, I only found the chat option by accident as I searched and searched the Amazon site looking for a way to contact them because I has a time constraint due to planned overseas travel in less than 2 weeks. The condition of the phone I ordered was reportedly Used-Like new. The phone I received was indeed as advertised except for the critical aspect of being 1/4 the memory I'd paid for. As the chat rep and I exploited options, it became apparent no like-condition 128gb device waa available. I was resigned to simply returning the phone and looking for other options for my trip when the chat rep offered an equitable refund for the difference in value between the phone I received ad the one I'd paid for. With my time constraint, I needed Amazon to act more quickly than their policy guidelines allow them to respond. After a few conversations with customer service, explaining the situation multiple times, they came through with the refund in just a couple of days. Therefore, I added 2 stars to this review. I wanted Amazon and the seller to understand their order fulfillment processes have a serious flaw as neither company ensured the correct item was being provided. As for the phone itself. It arrived with a dead, dead battery. I researched the problem online and found a recommendation to leave out on a charger for 15 minutes. I did so and found that the screen responded after 10 minutes. Then the phone charged to 100% within 1 hour 50 minutes using my wife's fast charger. The charger that came with the phone is almost useless - a generic, 1amp charger not normally used with Samsung phones. I use these of nothing else is available. After all this, I took the phone to Verizon and got it activated in just a few minutes. That was a week ago, and it has gone through 3 system updates in that time. Except for the lack of memory I was so looking forward to, the phone is great. Like new physically and all the software and apps are working as expected.

I'm own a Galaxy S5 and I too was skeptical when the Galaxy S6 was announced due to the sealed in battery and non expandable memory. Then I realized that while I owned the Galaxy S5 for a full year, I never even once replaced its battery. I also realized that I was only using 30 GB out of the 64 GB micro SD card I have had on my S5 for a year. Those two facts made the non replaceable battery and non expandable memory non issues for me. Now let's talk about the Galaxy S6. I was never bothered by the use of plastic on the previous models, but the new design lines are beautiful. The phone is a work of art. It feels lighter and thinner than the S5. The screen is the most beautiful on a smartphone. The new fingerprint sensor is a lot better and makes unlocking your phone much much faster and accurate. The speaker is louder than the GS5 and I like the fact that it's placed on the bottom right. I also like how the power button is now lower on the right side and that the volume rockers are two separate buttons. I haven't taken that many pictures with the rear camera, but it's a lot snappier and pictures are better than on the GS5. I love how much faster the camera starts and love that I can double tap the home button to launch the camera. . The front facing camera is amazing. No more bad selfies. I also like the fact that you can take a picture by touching the heart rate sensor. The whole phone is a lot faster and data transfer rates are also faster. Touchwiz is lighter and cleaner and Lollipop is a beautiful, fluid OS. Another great feature is fast charging. I was able to go from 0 to 100% battery in just a little over an hour. Who needs removable battery when you can recharge that quickly? The screen is so sharp, WOW! Anyway, this phone is a beast. I highly recommend it.
