My whole family were getting new phones, as we changed cell phone carriers also, the rest of my family went with other phones but I stayed true to Samsung. I have had Samsung phones for years and have always loved them. My new Samsung Galaxy S6, 32GB is by far the best!!!! It is so easy to navigate, I love all the features and the design is wonderful. I would expect nothing less from Samsung. I can truly say I will be a Samsung customer for life!!
This is the second smart phone that I've ever owned. My first one was an iPhone 4. From there, I jumped up to the S6. It was quite a big jump. The Samsung has a lot of nice features: like where you can reply to a text without having to open messages, or the split screen, or talk to text, also, the Google Maps on the S6 is super convenient. However, my old iPhone 4 was just more user friendly. The texting was easier and the auto correct was more accurate. I find with this phone that it will just randomly change a word that I had spelled correctly to a totally different, random word. Also, the keys are super close together and I find myself constantly pushing the "." button which is right next to the space bar. Also, to type a "?" you have to hit the symbols key, then the "?", then symbols key again. With the iPhone, you pushed the symbols key, then "?", then the space bar and it would automatically switch back over to ABC, so you didn't have to hit the symbols key again. One of the main reasons I left iPhone was because I hate iTunes and I know Samsungs are nice for uploading music from a computer. I even got the 64Gb so I could store more music. Well, the music player doesn't work very well. If you pause an hour long song at, let's say, 20 mins and come back to it tomorrow, it starts from the beginning even though you had it paused?? I don't get why that is, but it's annoying that I can't just hit play from where I paused it and it start playing again. In conclusion, this phone is nice and has a lot of cool features. It was very difficult for me though coming from something so user friendly as iPhone to Samsung. I guess if you never had an iPhone before, I would definitely recommend this phone.
If it weren't for the excellent service I had from my G3, I would probably never get a Samsung Phone again. I have had frustrating issues with dropped calls and extraneous noises both domestically and internationally, and severe issue with roaming data and network continuity. I have worked with the service provider to help resolve my issues, but ultimately I ruled out the carrier as the issue. When I return to the States this time, I will exchange this unit for another and see if the problems persist.
I also am frustrated with the additional Samsung Apps which are duplicates of the Google Apps. The Samsung Apps need to be optional IMHO.
Again, Samsung is a great company with an excellent product. I think I simply had the misfortune of getting one of the rare lemons.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, too much duplicate software
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a s4 previously and I really enjoyed it and now this is much better it does a lot more for some reason when I turn it off or get out of a thing it goes to the camera I don't know why yet I'm going to check with Verizon and see if there something to be done about that but all in all it's a great product. I am learning new things everyday about it it's interesting for an old man to learn my wife thinks I'm a techno freak but that's okay she still has a flip phone I've tried to talk her into a smart phone but she doesn't want one
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, i like the size fits my hand well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

That big screen is fantastic! Yet the phone still fits in a shirt pocket. Performance is very fast. Camera is awesome! And it also works very well as a phone, including the sound quality on speakerphone. We have two of these-- my wife has the one with 32GB, and I got 64GB since I take a LOT of photos. Since we have the same phones, I can help her more easily if she has problems (she isn't as used to tech stuff as I am), and she can use my phone easily if hers is not handy. We would make the same purchases again, and recommend these phones without hesitation.
