Samsung Galaxy S6 review

Pros:
  • Beautiful design
  • Excellent camera
  • Incredible screen

For years, we've harped on Samsung to stop building its smartphones with creaky plastic and bloated software. The Galaxy series is Android's flagship brand, but Samsung has rarely offered the best Android experience. Now, in the Galaxy S6, change has finally come.
Pros:
  • There is no faster
  • more capable and feature-rich smartphone on the market today
Cons:
  • It's great to see Samsung integrate metal-and-glass into its design
  • but the result lacks distinctiveness next to the similarly styled iPhone 6

Samsung Galaxy S6 review

The best Android phone you can buy right now
Pros:
  • Great for media, Super sharp screen, Amazing camera, When I first saw the Galaxy S6 I was immediately impressed
  • It was like someone walked into the boardroom of Samsung HQ, picked up the S5 and tore it to pieces, before delivering a more grown up version based on the things consumers actually want.
Cons:
  • Battery not good enough, Price too high, OK, not ALL the good bits are gooder
  • Battery life on the Galaxy S6 isn't good enough for a phone of this caliber or price
  • I don't think anyone should be worrying about whether their new expensive smartphone will still be able to make emergency calls when...

With the Galaxy S series losing steam ever since the Galaxy S4, Samsung needed a dramatic change in order to make a comeback in the flagship market, overrun by better looking, and sometimes even better performing devices.

  • Excellent Quad HD 5.1-inch screen
  • Exynos 7420 is proving itself as full replacement to Snapdragons
  • Loud bottom mounted speaker
  • 16MP camera performs very well in all but the dimmest lighting conditions
  • Touchwiz is actually...
Cons:
  • No longer waterproof
  • Lack of expandable storage
  • Battery not replaceable
  • Battery life average - just over one day with typical usage
  • Camera sticks out and can get damaged somewhat easily

Samsung's image has lost a lot of its former sheen; even more so when it comes to the top-end Galaxy S range. Under more pressure than ever before, the company is betting on a major reinvention. Gone is the cheap plastic, in favour of slick aluminium.

Samsung's Galaxy S6 reviewed

Samsung's 2015 flagship is here, and the spec sheet reads like a real fighter, with an eight-core processor, Quad HD AMOLED screen, an improved fingerprint sensor, 16 megapixel camera, and a body that for once is made out of high grade materials, none of that plastic from before.
Pros:
  • Built very well
  • Feels great in the hands
  • Superb screen
  • Very fast to use
  • A fairly clean bloat-free user experience
  • Excellent camera
  • and one of the better smartphone cameras we've seen
  • Fingerprint sensor works most of the time
Cons:
  • Battery life really only hits a day
  • Removable battery is gone
  • No more upgradeable memory
  • No more water-resistance
  • Camera app "pro" mode lacks aperture and shutter-speed control
