      [deleted post]Well build material plus its geometry makes up the look and design and it was yesteryears ago compared to iPhone. And actually its just iPods' design language that evolves.

It just doesnt have the bragging rights level iPhones. And let me remind you, that iPhone design language has started way back iPad Mini and iPod touch. Now to mention the original iPhones, only it was small and thicker.

            I only have 1 major problem with these devices: fingerprint magnet! 2015 and we still have to deal with smudges? Yikes.. I use Xperia Z3 Compact, but I don't have those many smudges on the back of my phone. Previously I use Nexus 4 and it didn't have crazy smudges like S6. Different type of glass/coating? I don't know. But gosh those smudges really annoy me. Should have gone with matte finishing at the back. Fingers crossed that MAYBE it's only because the phones are being held with so many different oily hands during MWC and MAYBE those smudges look so obvious because of the lighting.

              What I'm really looking forward is for your battery endurance test your test will make me buy or skip the s6.

                      "In the end, there will be those that say that Samsung copied Apple. While the similarities are uncanny, there are only so many ways you can make a smartphone, and if lawsuits aren't being filed and patent authorities are silent, so should we. What we held in our hands were two beautifully crafted devices, possessing their own personality, and that's good enough in our book."—meh! Thats it? Im pretty sure if its the other way around, we could find a whole page of discussion relating to design immitation of this from that. I dont find these editors neutral. Well what to do..

                        This is super phone.. good build quality, gorilla glass 4 front and back panel, processor with 14 nm process, qhd display with super amoled and metal frame . For me 32gb of internal memory is enough for me. Hopefully it's coming soon to indonesia. And I will see the iphone lover will regret their phone. Because iphone 6 has very low build quality.

                            I am impressed with the design, I feel like it's a breath of fresh air, and that is coming from a Sony fan.

IOS 8 improved them a little, but they are still way behind. Any self respecting user who has played with IOS and Android would know that. It makes me think you have never used Android and are just trolling.

                                  How is S6 looks like iPhone, not even frkn close.
                                  Yeah all back face glass phones like Xperia..
                                  What a brain...

                                  But most funny parts is still while you trolling about ip6.
                                  Do you really think S6 like ip6?

                                  I know you a hater but, being objective is good thing, really makes you feel better.

                                  BTW: I have a Huawei phone.

                                    Polls have the S6 Edge at 50% of votes. The S6 and M9 both share 25%.

                                    AndroidPolice also said that the S6/S6 Edge have the best build quality. They've at least touched the device for a few days, unlike the armchair industrial designers here on gsmarena and other sites.
