I love the phone! The hardware, the software, the features, the size, and the quality. I just hate how slippery this bugger is. I am so afraid of dropping it I find myself choosing to not use it rather than add an opportunity to drop it. I'd like to just go without a case because I love the gold color, it's such a pretty color, but there's no way. I'm serious. It's that slippery. I'm constantly losing my grip on it, or it'll slide down my leg when set on my lap; it slides under me on the bed, on the couch, or flies off the couch when I get up. Everything else is wonderful and once I get a case it'll be perfect. Just wish there were some texture or a material that allowed for more grip. That's my only complaint. I have to wait a few weeks till payday to buy a cover and I can't wait. I love the selection of accessories for the model though. Especially all the options that still show the gold of the phone. Thanks Samsung! I seriously love it aside from that issue.
Pros: Realistic color, Bright display, Lightweight, speed, camera
Cons: slippery
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Galaxy S6

I changed to the Galaxy S6 specifically to be able to use Samsung Pay which is supposed to work at locations where mobile wallets requiring NFC will not. The hardware of the S6 is excellent, easily as good as the major competitor. I would have given the S6 a higher score if the Galaxy phone was still waterproof and included a SD card slot and replaceable (and bigger) battery, all features I would want. The phone works well overall. The keyboard is a little slow to respond at times which can be quite frustrating. A factory reset did not resolve the keyboard issue. A significant issue is how quickly the battery drains when in use. Invariably I have to charge the phone mid way through the day which was not required on my prior phone. My experience with Samsung Pay is mixed. It works well at terminals using NFC but then so would other mobile wallets. However, to date I estimate that only about 40% of transactions using Samsung's MST technology are successful. If I begin experiencing greater success with Samsung Pay it would improve my satisfaction with this phone.
Pros: Bright display, great hardware build quality
Cons: poor battery life, unresponsive keyboard, no replaceable battery, no sd card slot, not waterproof
I would recommend this to a friend!

The best Galaxy yet

I love this phone. The only downfall is you're unable to expand the memory with an external SD card. The design is sharp, the camera is the best I've ever used, and I've owned iPhones, and 3 versions of the Galaxy. Overall I'd highly recommend it.
I've been a big fan of Samsung phones since the Galaxy 3 which was my first galaxy phone. Each year it gets better and better. I had the Samsung 6 edge and loved it. I wanted to try the s6. I love the features on this phone. I'm obsessed with pictures and the camera is amazing. Great sound quality for a music junkie like myself. Am a bit disappointed with the 6 edge an 6 because your unable to expand the memory and battery life is not as good compared to the 5 and the note. Overall a great phone and would definitely recommend.
I love my Galaxy S6. I had the S4 and the S6 is leaps and bounds ahead of the S4. I love the sleeker design, the crisper photos that the camera takes and the greater selection of apps that come with the phone.
