Pros: Battery life is certainly better than previous phones! sleek, nice size, nice design, display is great! Camera is awesome! It's exactly what I expected from Samsung!
Cons: not many-just small things. You can't customize your text bubbles anymore and the keyboard can be a bit finicky. Gentle taps work most of the time but every once in a while you have to use a little more pressure to get the keys near the edge to register.
With that said, I fully expect updates to roll out that will fix these small things. It's a new phone altogether with all of the loved features from previous phones! Kudos to Samsung for yet again, staying ahead of the phone design game!
I upgraded from an s4 so this phone is amazing for me. The display is amazingly bright and beautiful. I enjoyed seeing my battery life on screen and it comes automatically on this device. The fingerprint feature is a nice touch to have. (lol) I also like that they added themes for the phone, it gives my it more character which I love. I wished they would do that for the stock messaging app though. All in all the battery lasts forever even with heavy usage. The fast charging is a wonderful to have as well as the upgradeable SD card. The only cons i would have is not having a removable back. Then left side button being the split screen button. Just seems like the could have implimented it someother way.
I have been a long time user of Samsung products and finally they brought in the phone that has it all. One thing I like most about Samsung phones is they keep me satisfied for years by being cutting edge and not causing me to feel I need to upgrade every 6 months. Android Marshmallow is just excellent, it feels like butter. I love how the operating system works and TouchWiz integrated into it so seamlessly I actually am keeping it as my launch page. Samsung Pay is an amazing edition and I can't wait to use it. The camera is excellent, front and back, and is a great improvement. The phone is IP68 again like my beloved S5 was and they also brought back the SD card slot - excellent! It saves me money because having to pay for more internal storage is a lot more expensive than getting a high capacity top of the line SD card. One thing I love about this phone is it is fairly similar to the iPhone in appearance and function but it's still android and it's still Samsung and it is the best phone I've ever owned.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Bright display, Built-in speakers, Durable, Lightweight, samsung pay, android marshmallow, camera is excellent, speed, always on display, form factor, improved fingerprint scanner, ip68, removable sd card
Cons: battery life could be better
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love my new phone! Getting used to the edge but very user friendly!
This phone is amazing looks and feels great. The screen is bright and colorful. World's great with one handed operation its a perfect size. Great features ot compliments 6.0 perfectly. The phone does get hot when downloading multiple apps or doing heavy multi-tasking. Other then that its a must pick up.
I have had this phone for less than a week now and still have not had a chance to find out all of the cool new things it can do. But already I LOVE this phone! Everyday I learn something new. It is fun, new, and exciting. Very customizable and the fast charging is AWESOME!
