Great overall, with some flaws

The phone is very well built and feels good to hold in the hand. The placement of the volume and power buttons is much better than it has been on previous phones. The buttons are not directly opposite each other, so when pressing the power button, I do not press the volume buttons and vice versa.
The optical image stabilization in the camera is very much needed on phones, and it helps an incredible amount when taking video and low-light photos. The quality of the camera is also very good, with enough detail to make me happy, but it isn't oversharpened like pictures from some other current flagship phones.
Touch Wiz isn't bloated as it was on the Galaxy S4 (my previous phone), and the phone is generally pretty snappy. There are occasional times when the phone starts lagging and it takes 20-30 seconds for it to recover, and it doesn't seem like there's a pattern to this, which is pretty annoying. I have also had apps crash randomly on various occasions, and the crashes aren't reproducible, so I don't believe it's the app's fault.
The fingerprint sensor is much improved from the Galaxy S5. I just press the home button and leave my finger on the button, and it unlocks the phone. It generally works well, but I have had some difficulties with the consistency of the sensor. If my fingers have any dirt on them, it won't work on the first try. Additionally, I can't even get the sensor to work when I'm working out and my fingers are sweaty. Even after wiping my fingers off, it takes multiple tries if my hands are dirty/oily/sweaty. The backup password is a little annoying because of the requirements - it requires a letter and a number. I would much prefer having a backup pin instead of password, like the backup pin when the pattern lock is enabled. This would allow someone else to unlock my phone instead of me telling them an entire password with letters and numbers. Instead, I either have to come unlock the phone with my fingerprint, which is annoying.
I haven't been able to get through an entire day's worth of usage out of the battery because I use the phone fairly heavily throughout the day. With the same usage on the Galaxy S4, I have been able to, so the battery performance has decreased even though the battery size has stayed almost the same from the S4.
Overall, it's a great phone, but it has some flaws (some of which can be fixed through software). I would recommend the phone to many people, as it is easy to use and feels great in the hand.
Pros: Bright display, feels good in the hand, good camera, fingerprint sensor is handy, good build quality, not too big or too small
Cons: battery isn't great, apps occasionally (and randomly) crash and freeze, fingerprint sensor doesn't always work properly
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm a new Samsung customer after switching from the iPhone. I am in love with how compatible it is with all of my Google accounts. The only issue I have is with the software freezing up and shutting down on me. I'm waiting to see if it is just a kink in the system, but I'm still loving the phone!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: software freezes up

This phone is great! I previously had a Galaxy Note 3 because I liked the size and the idea of a stylus pen. However I found that I didn't use the stylus pen hardly ever so that just ended up being wasted functionality for me. The S6 is only slightly smaller so I still get the size factor that I like. The camera is one of the best on the market today. The fingerprint sensor is very cool. S voice seems to be improved. Battery charges very fast. The new metal and glass chassis is very nice. Very pleased with this phone.
