Samsung messed up when going from S5 to S6. I loved the S5s durability and changeable battery. Was almost dreading changing to the S6, the only saving grace was the advanced features. Just wish they would combine the best of both designs.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: not durable enough
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had to replace, a lost, sturdy , dropped many times, 'wet paper towel wiped off the rubbery screen protector maybe once a week’, adequate, 4 + year old Galaxy 4. You would have had to pry it out of my hands if not lost - because my stomach turns at the thought of a new device and what will follow. These are not shiny new toys - they are -burdens.
Got a S6 - Granted the service provider where I purchased, misrepresented it and the value and effect of the screen protector, never mentioned an alternative insurance thru Samsung. Only after the screen broke from minor trauma, 3 days later -- THEN I was told--chastised ! " very fragile" " screen protector prevents smudges" , so fragile "really has to have" a 'full case, - with a back' because the back is glass". From what I can see on line, salesman may have been correct that the Sport not much more resistant to breakage.
What difference does it make if its 'pretty' -or Pearl- which I chose because it is hard to find, the black cell, along with the black house phones , black remotes . Super sleek design equals slippery. I am convinced what I have is Cinderella's glass slipper and it will only be safe in a full metal jacket, on a pillow, at home!
When one can see a whole new mini industry emerging - for phones from you and your competitors, specifically and only, to " replace broken cell phone screens" - That should tell everyone, something .
Adding features, most of which few need or want, and can't easily remove or hide, makes it increasing it difficult to find what one wants, including --basics-like, the microphone. Had to add an ap to mute - and it doesn’t work as well as the ap had to add to the last one ! Getting the phone recognized by my PC was a 2 hour 2 tech ordeal because one has to get to: find about device , builder and tap 7 times to become a developer - to see and be able to access USB connection. Not in the manual . Ridiculous. This is a interconnected problem - THE INDUSTRY has decided, customers don't need to personally, back up, their own phone, on their own PC. And you can't back up much of the phone-phone part .
Same complaint as the Galaxy 4, I got mainly, as a phone, and just like the Galaxy 4- it's a lousy phone. You changed where missed call notifications are. Can't hear voice mail unless on speaker -one would think a complaint on line since 2013 would be a quick support call, not 90 mintues, to get fixed - and the fix lasted for 2 hours.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality, fragile, slippery, manual inadequate, support poor
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

One of the best phone in the market right now. The only thing missing is the water resistance feature.
