Either you didn't read that past or you are being very bias and then scapegoating your bias onto them

- S6 over S5?

Here's the pros:
The memory reads are super fast. that's awesome.
It's really powerful.
... That's pretty much it.
The S5 is also powerful and have a better battery life.
And everything else that's missing... it doesn't have a micro-SD card slot AND they charge high premium for the memory, the reason why I hated Apple for.
It's a real insult to Samsung fans. Especially when THEY were criticizing Apple for those same flaws, fragile metal/glass body, no memory expansion, all the cash grab.
They battery can't be removed, meaning it'll be inside the phone, as a salesman, I know the battery can loose it's charge especially inside a metal body meaning that if it completely lost it's charge, I'll have to put it on a charger.. just like Apple.. and make the client wait 15 minutes or so before booting it up.
Top it all of, the S5 had water resistance, an answer to Sony's phone, but Samsung doesn't see them as a threat so, f*** it, let's remove it, make sure people pay more for our products.
Anyone is a fool NOT to pick an S5 over an S6. S6 is garbage, period.

don't u think the guys at gsmarena your brightness test should be done again i have seen both the screens of lg g2 and samsung galaxy s6, samsung's is hardly any brighter than that of lg g2 and u show a difference of nearly 200 nits.... i have checked in both modes as you have done the test... unbelievable... both data from ur website only... now following your website for 5 years u have done a great work on this site ... But now you are much more in favour of samsung products which is certainly not good for a website which has a wonderful history of remaining unbiased for every product. Thank You.

1hour/day GSMArena parameter isn't a real meter for a top-end smartphone.

Dododo, 17 Mar 2015The iPhone 6 did surprisingly well compared to the S6. The ... moreOld 8mpx technology can't beat 20mpx Samsung resolution, if you check image in 1:1, you can find greater detail.
And I know, some 20mpx around aren't real/good, but Samsung works very good on camera.

Have you noticed this "oil painting" effect on the new camera algorithm?
There is less sharpening effect (better), but this "oil painting" effect seems to me a little artificial.
You can notice it at 1:1 ratio only obviously.

Giving up the memory card slot and the removable battery are huge mistakes to me !
Let's hope Samsung does not make the same mistake for the Note 5 !!!
Otherwise I will have to buy another brand for my next phablet !

What on earth is the point of this review if you're putting the below statement underneath each section? It only means you revisiting most of the tests, therefore making this review moot??!? Let's hope this isn't the start of a new trend for GSMA... clearly a rushed review with multiple errors that you've attempted to rectify over the last couple of days... come on GSMA you're better than this!!!
(i.e. rendering most of the review pointless)
"The Samsung SM-G920F Galaxy S6 used for this review is a pre-release unit, using firmware version G920FXXU1A0BN, which was the latest available as of March 10. You can rest assured we will retest all of our proprietary tests once we get a production unit - hopefully within a week or so."

AnonD-26339, 17 Mar 2015Why compare it with non OIS iphone 6?
I would like to see ... moreNote 4 was tested against 6 plus through blind trial and note 4 was better. The camera on S6 is comparable to note 4 if not better. Also S6 was tested against 6 plus and S6 was significantly better, even in low light conditions.
I'm sure you can find confirmation of these if you do some searching.
