The Galaxy S6 is easily Samsung’s best smartphone yet. It’s the first device I’ve used from Samsung in a long time that feels polished to a sufficient standard, both from a hardware and software perspective, which makes it easy to recommend as a flagship Android handset.
Samsung finally delivers on design; Chart-topping performance without the throttling concerns; Superb camera in nearly all situations; TouchWiz is more attractive and less cluttered than before; Excellent display, and decent battery life; Design is even more attractive than the standard Galaxy S6.
MicroSD card slot omission means expensive storage upgrades; Slippery body attracts fingerprints; Getting the Edge will cost you a premium; No useful software additions, or anything that makes compelling use of the curved display; Less ergonomic design than the regular S6.
