Very Disappointed S6

I hate to say this but I am very disappointed in the new S6. I cant talk to much about the features because the battery doesn't last long enough for me to take advantage of them. I have to use the phone for work and unless I limit ANY usage other than the bare necessities it will be dead by the end of the day. I have power save turned on and still I can practically watch the battery drain as I use it. I cam to Samsung from a Droid Razr Maxx and I never had this issue. I am even afraid to use the music feature for fear of total drainage by the end of the day. I am also very disappointed in the wireless charging, I can put phone on charger at 8 PM, and in the morning 5 out of 7 days it will be at 67 to 85 percent in the morning. What is bad is that I bought 2 of these phones, for myself and 1 for my wife. booth phones have the charging issue, I cant say much about the battery on my wife's, but she never uses her phone except to text a couple times a day and to play solitaire before going to bed. I would greatly appreciate anything that can be done. I have only had this phone for a couple weeks...not happy to say the least.
Pros: it looks better than it works
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, battery, wireless charging, functionality, so far extreme disappointment
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don't buy this phone

I have previously owned a Galaxy 2 and Galaxy 5 an had been extremely pleased with those phones. My husband had a Galaxy 3 which he was pleased with. I even purchased a Gear Fit and paired it with the Galaxy 5.
The Galaxy 6 is a battery hog and it overheats all the time. Today was the worst, I had to charge the phone three times. All of the suggestions on the web are useless. Tried them all and they do not work.
The phone will overheat just carrying it in my purse. Checking email or using it for anything for maybe 30 minutes causes it to overheat. Don't even try a game, you might just burn your fingers. Many times I have held it in front of the AC vent in the car just to cool it down because nothing else worked. Tried all of the suggestions I found on the Internet and nothing has worked. I don't think it likes the Gear S or bluetooth.
I would like to get a different phone but I am stuck with this for another 20 months. UGH!!!!
Pros: can't think of one
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, poor battery life, overheats
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Absolutely amazed!

Was happily impressed by the speed and fast response of the Samsung Galaxy s6. I previously was the owner of the Galaxy s3 and I quickly saw a huge difference. Everything about the s6 is amazing, from the screen resolution, to the battery life. The camera upgrade is absolutely impeccable. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy s6 honestly can't be described, it needs to be discovered.
I had previously had LG Androids, boy, I did not know what I was missing! This Samsung is so far superior to what I was used to that I seem to use it constantly. I'll never have anything else!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love android OS and I love samsung quality. I have been using galaxy since 3Rd generation but the galaxy s6 gold is horrible, by far the worse smartphone that I have ever used, not only battery dies within 4 hrs of use, but it's constantly searching for signal in the same places and spots that I used my previous galaxy s3 and s5. Bad bad bad bad phone. Horrible. Poor performance.
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Better than I imagined.

I was skeptical when I first got this phone. I previously had a druid ultra maxx and loved it. Due to a variety of reasons I got this one. It took me about two days to fully get used to it and appreciate it. I would heavily recommend this phone to anyone. It is fast, smart, and very cool looking.
Cons: battery does not last as long as i want. 14-16 hou
I would recommend this to a friend!

First couple of weeks with the S6

As a dedicated follower of another major manufacturer I was somewhat sceptical of switching not just to another device but another OS as well. The overall experience of the S6 has actually turned me into a convert. The phone has exceeded expectations on most fronts. The available apps are sound and the phone performance has been great.
The only issues I have really run into is visibility in bright sunlight (I work in Florida a lot) and some bugs with the interaction of the device with my car (Uconnect).
Otherwise a solid performing device!
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic Device!

This device is fantastic. Packed full of features, sensors, and gizmos... and built out of aluminum, this is by far the best android phone in existence! The display is gorgeous, and I love the feel of the phone.
