Great polished product

I held off upgrading to the S6 last year because it was missing some of the things I had come to love in the S5. This time around they took what was great from the S6 and improved upon it.
Visually the S6 looks very similar to the S7 which is a good thing in my opinion. It is almost a shame to put a case on the phone and although I get tempted I plan on protecting it for long term usage.

Pros: You've probably heard it all before....
-I'll note that playing games on it is a lot of fun and the Gear VR is a great addition but if you're serious about gaming make sure you consider a game pad before investing in the headset.
-The fingerprint scanner is a nice upgrade too, no longer is there a need to swipe. Simply place your thumb or finger on the home button at any angle.
-Subtle improvements to aesthetics and convenience are great but what I think really stands out is the new low lighting camera feature. The very quick access double click, focus, and shutter speed combination also make catching that perfect unexpected shot that much more attainable even when lighting conditions are not favorable.

Cons:
-I will admit I did need to talk to tech service once already due to an odd circumstance that led to my phone turning completely off when I plugged it into my computer... simply turn it back on I thought, but it wouldn't! Tech support was however very helpful and I reset my phone with no loss of data. I also haven't had the problem since and honestly I'm not too worried about it at this point.
-I'll also note that bluetooth range appears to be slightly shorter at least compared to the S5.
-Another note is VR streaming can be choppy at times even with fast internet, although if you choose to download your content then I can attest that the experience was smooth and I had no VR sickness whatsoever. The phone itself warmed up after extensive use during gaming but was definitely not uncomfortably hot as with other phones.

I'd personally say its an astounding upgrade from the S5, as for the S6 it will depend on how important the details are for you to make the jump.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight

Just had the phone over a day now. Great display and the expandable memory is a huge plus. I just wished it included an ir blaster like the s4 had. I ended up using that phone many times as a tv remote.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers
Cons: no ir blaster
