A decent phone

Phone owned for more than a year

It is my second android phone. I got used to android. It is OK. What I miss are high quality apps from WP. Apps in microsoft store are much better - Visualy, and they work better with the phone. Even my bank apps, that is not some low end app, is better for WP.
But all this, has nothing to do with the phone itself.

Phone is nice. It feels decent, and works decent. I don't mind having it, even though it doesn't blow my mind.

Terrible. More trouble than it's worth.

Phone owned for more than a year

I had the Galaxy s4 before this and loved it. Never had an issue with it. The s6, on the other hand, has been nothing but trouble. I've had to replace it at least 4 times due to "manufacturer defect". The first time was because it kept freezing whenever I would open and use certain apps. The second time was because it would constantly tell me I had no 4G service when I knew I was in an area that I always had service and would constantly disconnect from WiFi for no reason. The third time was because it would freeze up randomly and restart itself. The fourth time was because the battery would go down ridiculously fast even in power saver mode and I couldn't use it while it was charging or the battery would continue to go down. Even though I was always conscious of not overcharging it and would rarely leave it on the charger past 100% or overnight (only did a few times on accident). I'm sure my cell phone carrier keeps giving me refurbished replacements that aren't actually fully fixed. Also all my pictures tend to be way lower quality than I expected of this phone especially when using zoom. This phone has been nothing but frustration for me. I constantly have issues with people not being able to hear me clearly on calls. However, I will say that I have dropped it many times and have never even scratched my screen and I have a very simple case on it.

Awesome phone but could improve in battery life.

Phone owned for less than a month

Overall awesome phone from Samsung. I got this device recently in 2017 and still performs extremely well and better than most midrangers for an outdated flagship. Only thing of concern is the low battery life which can get me through a day barely with moderate usage.

Awesome phone, but poor battery life

Phone owned for more than a year

Phone is great in my opinion. And ever after using it for more than one year and two months, it gets the job done. I am a heavy user and the only thing I didn't like is the battery back up. Waiting for the nougat update.

Great display and sound with bad battery backup

Phone owned for more than a year

I've had my S6 for about 1year 4months. Still very fast, no noticeable slow down at all.
I haven't gotten Marshmallow yet, but it can only come with improvements such as doze, which will increase the battery life (which is dreadful). On the topic of battery life, its pretty bad, but fast charging makes up for it imo.

Samsung Galaxy s6 is exceptionally great

Phone owned for more than a year

the samsung galaxy s6 is one of the best phons on the market Like any smartphone, the Galaxy S6 isn’t without compromise,its battery life is seriously disappointing, and it’s an open question how well the sometimes shaky software will age over time. But the Galaxy S6 remains one of the best Android phones you can buy today and with one possible exception, it’s probably the best Samsung smartphone in history.

CMON DUDE IT'S a FLAGSHIP

Phone owned for less than 3 months

the battery life is not as good and truly ram usage is always above 59% but its performance is of a beast.
After the price drop its an easy decision. It feels great in hands awesome display. Future proof(on the grounds of compatibility with gearVR)its light;charging speed is just awesome but what blows my mind is the camera

the battery!

Phone owned for less than a month

Everything is perfect except the battery and no MicroSD Card slot. The battery only last 4-10 hours on Heavy and regular usage. Probably because the leaked RAM, hope samsung fix it in marshmallow update.

The Smartphone Beast

Phone owned for less than a year

Ok so its been 5 months since im using this phone and I can say that this is the best smartphone you can get right now.It gives you some world -class perfomance,Stunning Visuals,Great Multitasking,The worlds best camera performance In short it gives amazing all round performance.The only disadvantage is the battery life because its only 2550 mah which is not ideal for a QHD Phone.But the fast charger helps me overcome this problem.I love playing High-end games on this phone like MC5, Asphalt 8 ,Fifa 16 as it handles them quite easily and makes gameplay smoother.The UI os well polished and gives you a silk smooth performance.Its design is quite impressive and it offers you premium build quality.So the Verdict is that get this phone as soon as you can or you'll regret it.

Best Phone I've Had!

Phone owned for less than 3 months

If you're looking for a phone that's new and and gets the job done, the Samsung Galaxy s6 is the best for you. With a new look and new interphase, Samsung has made a phone that stands out from the rest. The s6 shows that this company can still compete with the Apple iPhone line.

Great camera, terrible phone

Phone owned for less than a year

I cannot understate how disappointed I am in Samsung for passing this fraudulent product on the consuming public. No removable battery or SD card slot (like in previous models), a smaller battery with practically no battery life (worse than any previous smartphone I have owned), and a design with glass! Whoever made the decision to put this in production should be fired immediately. You have damaged your company's name, and have permanently altered my future purchase of any Samsung product. The only good quality about this device is its camera. It is outstanding. However, you have to spend the rest of your day keeping your phone charged because it is going to drain and quick (and this is after replacing the phone with another S6, doing a half dozen factory resets, turning off all background data consumption and turning off all notifications and using only the bare minimum of apps). Horrible.

Great phone,Not so great battery

The phone is great in every single aspect, including touchwiz which hasn't caused any lags thankfully!yet I still have my own complaints.Very high unexplained ram usage.pretty weird for a 3gb ram phone. Battery life could have been better,hoping updates could fix this

Best phone I have ever had

Phone owned for less than a month

One of the best phones I have ever seen, phone is really fast has a great capacity, it will be better if it has a microsd slot so that one can have his/her personal stuff more safe, and the other thing is that the battery drains quickly.

Interesting..

Phone owned for less than 3 months

It amazes me that so many folks rate highly about this phone when its one of the worst phones from a user experience. On paper its a beast but in the real world I get more speed from throwing rocks.

I found some pleasant things about this device, like the screen and build quality. However, most benefits of this phone were killed by Samsungs UI and poor ram management, which has yet to be addresses.

Insanely good phone, i can say the best!

Phone owned for less than 3 months

I must say that this phone is absolutely great, big step from S5, in terms of design, camera, function, speed, display.Samsung did great job.I love this phone so much.Honestly, i love Apple products, i love how they are operating, very good hardwer/softwer balance, very optimized, they are not pushing so much strong hardwer, but still, they perform same as android flagships, and sometimes even better, so i said to myself, i will always keep with iPhone.But then i tried S6, and guess what, i finally made decision to go back to android just because of S6.Whole new game for android, everything just feels so nice, optimized and well performing.The only thing i thing that could be better is battery, i mean, its not that bad and its not that good.I can go through a day with it, and for me thats all i need since when i go to sleep, i put my device to charge overnight.But instead of too much battery life, u get really quick charging, in about 1h 20 min from 0 to 100% is insane, really love that thing.Everything i need from the phone, i got it here.

Finally a good Galaxy s phone

Phone owned for less than a year

Near perfect phone, but not quite. Battery could be bigger. TouchWiz needs more trimming down. The screen is the best mobile screen. Amazing sharpness and detail (not like the 326ppi ones). Excellent colour calibration and white balance. The camera is incredible. Finally Samsung made a good Galaxy S phone, since the S2.

Phone owned for less than a year

I have had this phone for about 3 months now and i am in love with it. it fast, very responsive, the camera is amazing and the screen is just ridiculously sharp and beautiful. over all the best phone i ever had and yes i think its better that the iphone 6s, my mom have it and i played with it couple of times it doesn't even come close to the galaxy s6 high end specs and you feel it when you compare them together.

the best from samsung

Phone owned for less than a year

A very lovely phone from Samsung. Finally samsung managed to build a true flagship phone. Build quality = superb.
Screen = don't ask, you have to see it yourself.
Processor and s**t = i don't care.
UI = i like touchwiz. I can't see why many people despise it.
Customisability = it's Android. And you get Samsung theme shop!
Camera = best. My favorite, that wide angle front camera!!!! Selfies can't get any better.
Battery = meh. But fast charging really step up the game.
No micro sd card slot = no problem

Great phone

Phone owned for less than 3 months

Overall, I can only say good S6 and beautiful, as my analysis suggests, it works very well at all and does what it promises, the battery could be a bit stronger, radio was to bring, and battery should be removable , since the card is not possible to use SD Card, but sufficient 32GB.
