I went from a Galaxy S4 to the Galaxy S6 easy swap, all apps and 95% of data switched. Camera is unbelievable great pictures. Accessories are plentiful. Real happy I upgraded.
It needs a place to put a SD card and to be able to take the battery out. It works smoothly. I did have trouble with it freezing. The design and location of the buttonsame is better. Like the screen mirroring
Pros: Lightweight, large size
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best phone ever owned

The Samsung Galaxy 6S is the absolute by far the best phone phone I have ever owned or used. I will not be getting any other brand of phone Samsung is the brand for me. My previous phone is a Samsung I purchased it in March 2012 never had one problem with it, it still works 100% like new would still be using it if I didn't get such a great offer to purchase this new Samsung Galaxy 6S. My daughter has the newest version of the I Phone and OMGOSH my phone is way better and not nearly as complicated as hers. She actually tried to get me to trade her phones plus give me $100.00 with it. I told her "no way". Thank you Samsung you made it happen, I'm actually cooler than my 17 year old daughter right now....haha I'm loving it!!!!! 5+ Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ Sincerely, Tamara C
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, excellent picture clarity, call clarity, so many wonderful apps, many cool fun options, perfect size
Cons: honestly can not think of one con
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great All-Around Phone

The Samsung GS6 is a great all-around phone - perfect for the average consumer who wants a little more freedom than they would get with an iPhone.
One of the most important things about a phone is the display and Samsung nailed this one on the head. With a QHD display, pixels are but a memory. Text is sharp, video watching is a pleasure, and colors are well saturated making things more pleasing to the eye. Display: 10/10
As for design, it is absolutely gorgeous. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it is easy on the eyes. The glass back makes for an ever so slippery device and quite the fingerprint magnet. Smudges are very apparent especially on the "black" model. It's really a dark blue. Without a removable back, we cannot change out the battery when needed. Which means when the battery decides to fry (generally after 1-2 years of use), we'll either have to pay big bucks for a professional to change it out or just buy a new phone entirely. Expandable storage wasn't a big deal for me, so I could live without it. Again, pretty phone, but not the most practical. Design: 8/10
Speaking of battery, it can't usually make it through the day. If I were to give it a grade, I would give it a C or C+. Personally, I would much rather have a thicker phone with a larger battery than a thin phone with lackluster one. Its saving grace is its fast charging. And its fast. I can usually top up in the middle of my day when I get the chance, but it's 2016 for crying out loud. Just give me a thicker phone. Battery: 6/10
The camera is stunning. Double tap the home button and the camera is ready to shoot when you are. Beautiful in automatic mode, but also very capable in "pro" mode if you wish to make adjustments. Fast and gets the job done. I personally appreciate how it shoots in a 16x9 aspect ratio perfect for if you wish to make one of the photos you take as your wallpaper which I often do. The selfie camera is perfect for your selfie taking needs. Wide, sharp, and with surprising quality. Camera: 10/10
The phone is blazing fast and will keep up with most of what you need to do. Though ram management is questionable at times, an update or two should fix this. Hopefully in the coming weeks/months Samsung will update their devices to 6.0 Marshmallow. Performance: 9/10
Touchwiz has definitely lighten up and isn't nearly as obtrusive as before. It still has a multitude of features such as multi-window support and a capable fitness tracker. Most applications aren't shoved in your face, rather they can be downloaded to your discretion in the Google Play store. I personally did not like the stock look of Touchwiz, so I threw on Nova Launcher and made it look like stock Android. All is good in the world now. Software: 7/10
Overall, this is a phenomenal phone worthy of your pocket for the next 2 years. Put a case on it or a skin if you're daring and it becomes a phone with one of the best feelings in the hand today. You will not be disappointed with the Galaxy S6.
Cons: less then average battery life, no removable battery, no expandable storage, very slippery device
I would recommend this to a friend!

Simply GREAT! S6

This is by far Samsung's greatest phone yet. The ease of use and simplicity and functionality of the phone make it very easy to use. I really enjoy the dual screens, especially when running YouTube.
My email usage with my personal and work email is fantastic. Also to add, when opening spreadsheets, documents or PDF, there is no issue. Also works great with the cloud.
Bluetooth accessibility with my vehicle and other Bluetooth functions works fantastic.
Pictures - one word - WOW!!!
My only set-back is the battery life. If you are on your phone consistently, bring your charger or portable battery charger. No bueno...doesn't even compare to the iPhone 6.
Overall, Samsung kept it simple and USER FRIENDLY! Kudos!
