I upgraded from a Samsung S4 and the only reason I upgraded was because my old phone could not be charged using the charging port. Luckily I was able to purchase a few spare batteries and charge them in a wall charger which allowed me to be able to swap out batteries as needed. With the S6 this is no longer an option because it does not come with a replaceable battery. I've been using this phone for almost 2 weeks and unless I'm missing something, one major weakness is that you can't back up your settings from an older Samsung and be able to easily re-create the home pages and installed apps. Another major weakness of this phone is the text and message notifications. I use my phone on the vibration setting 90% of the time and this phone even on the highest vibration intensity has a very week vibration. To make matters worse, it appears the notification only occurs once, there doesn't appear to be a way to have the notification repeat until acknowledged. Fortunately there is an app that does seem to help, but this should be a built in function of the phone. As a result, I have missed several critical notifications. The outgoing text messaging with the ability to group is a welcome addition over the S4. While I haven't used the camera extensively, it does appear to focus and take a picture much quicker than the S4 and the quality does seem much better.
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love the phone but wish that it would let me.be able to have a micro sd slot so.i can upgrade my memory when I want to
This is a fantastic phone; however, I am disappointed Samsung would take a step backwards and mimic an iPhone by deep sixing the micro sd slot. Please bring it back and step away from the inferior designed iPhone. Let Samsung set the bar for innovation and let iPhone try to catch up. I know many people that have switched to Samsug because of the micro sd slot and I wonder how many of them will go back to iPhones because of the removal of the micro sd slot.
I love this phone! I could not be happier. It stays charged longer than any phone I've ever had. It works great and has so many cool features. It takes awesome pictures! And, it looks so good. I have had bunches of people ask me what kind of phone I have because they love the way it looks.
