I have had this phone for a little over two weeks and find some kind of new feature everday. I had an android operated phone once before about three years ago but preferred the iPhone over it because of the stability and a little better performance. Once I saw this phone had come out I was hesitant to switch from an apple product, but am absolutely glad I did. The level of speed and performance this phone has is absolutely amazingand blows any phone I have used out of the water. The design is amazing and sleek and it feels like you have a luxurious piece of equipment in your hand. I show my friends and family all the time and quite a few have questioned why they are still buying apple products. The only downfall that I did experience was when I was first using the phone a few of the stock apps would "unexpectedly stop", but a couple days after they automatically updated and that problem was solved. Overall this is an amazing phone and Samsung has definately won me over for good.
After being hounded by my phone provider about the new S6 and how I should get one, I relented only because I found my older S4 was outliving its usefulness. This is not to say the S4 is a bad phone. On the contrary, it was a great phone and after seeing the initial reviews about the S6 and that it no longer supported external storage or a removable battery, I thought about sticking with the S4. Later on though I realized that it was going to be the way of things for internal storage vs. cloud and I found that it really didn't make a difference for me personally. Most everyone said this was the phone to have and that it performed excellent. So, I dragged myself down to the store and picked one up. Since then, I cannot say I would be tempted to go back to the S4. The S6 does perform wonderfully, it has a beautiful screen, the build quality is far superior to the S4 and aside from the two caveats I wrote above, this is one of the best Android devices you could own.
I have yet to find anything else wrong with it. While I am not a fan of the Touchwiz interface, this version seems to be more user friendly and does follow a bit of the Lollipop design. There is no shortage of notifications and I did find out something yesterday while on a rather long walk around D.C. that the S-health app was running and gave me a lot of interesting information, and I didn't even know it was tracking me. i know that sounds bad, due to all the privacy issues these days, but this was a feature I never gave a second thought to use and it was that smart to know what I was doing.
In any case, I like this phone very much. It is very handy and I find that I do take it with me more often now than before with the S4.
What a pleasure. Delivered everything it promised. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants the latest and best phone available on the market, today.
Pros: Bright display
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love Samsung. Have a Samsung Galaxy Note, and was impressed with it. Read all of the reviews on the S6, and waited " impatiently" for it to come out. Was the first customer, that Friday morning, and love my new Samsung Galaxy S6.
