Samsung Galaxy S6 review: Subject Zero

13 March 2015
Choose one word to describe the Samsung Galaxy S6. Gorgeous. Powerful. Special. Different. Thank you. That will do. Galaxy S5 has only one of these under its belt and hint... it starts with a P.

Screen is the biggest consuming part, 2k and that mah battery is a bad tech choice, along with bad optimizations...

    but considering the specs and lousy battery they put in just to sell on thin..its only understandable...
    Subpar batterylife compared to competition, believe even to lg g3 which was the worst until now...

      i'm disappointed with samsung for this s6's bad battery life result, and non removable also no micro sd card slot.

      and i also believe lg will put a better and bigger battery on it's g4 because that was once one big issue they had faced from g3.

          AnonD-314503, 14 Mar 2015Sir, read again my comment. Does it seem bashing and trolli... moreOr, you could just move on. Pretty much standard/conventional shapes of phones/frames have been covered during the last decade, so it's time to grow up and stop with this childish who copied who stuff. Just like cars industry has moved on for example.

              AnonD-374800, 14 Mar 2015Anyone els check heir review of the a7 and a5 batteries. Ho... moreTrue. Software/firmware etc.. issue since S6 looses the most in talking time, not even web browsing or videos, stop def it's nothing related to screen/resolution etc..

              Or we'll see with final units : if Exynos chipset is worse in energy consumption for communications compared to Qualcomm Snapdragon's, that would explain endurance details.

                Ouuuchhh, the battery life, unremovable, and gone the lg g3 way..., sooo dissapointing
                Sound blah, dissapointing...
                camera excellent but not as awe inspiringly good as expected from the whitepaper,
                Graphic performance, emm, good but not as expected, I expected it to beat iphone, but blh...
                And...the price, oh that price...

                So...No thanks.
                Even if I were a sammy fan, which I am hapilly not, would not even consider it...


                Z4 will eat this in a bite. :-)

                  AnonD-373771, 14 Mar 2015I can write up a long comment which and explain to you that... moreSir, read again my comment. Does it seem bashing and trolling? Anyway, okay, i will dare you to please write a comment expaining why my comment is false. And why are you pushing it copied m8, m7 and ativ where in fact those design were used long before iPod Touch iPad mini and Air and the original iPhone? Now look at the note 4 and alpha's frame, doesnt it copy iPhone 5? After all, if thats what you think, then fine..at the end of the year S6 will just be left out in the dust by samsung without support and update (if there is, it will only crack with bugs, look at what happend with S5 after lollipop). Goodluck buying S6. Thank you.

                    AnonD-374800, 14 Mar 2015Worthless negative comment that provides nothing! Hahahaha ... moreHe is right but, the S6 has no IP, no micro SD card, no removable battery, poor battery life and is looking more like an iPhone.

                    I love my Note 4 but Samsung is heading for a massive fail trying to create another iphone.... we want more features not less Samsung!

                        Anyone els check heir review of the a7 and a5 batteries. How could this phone, with as many hardware improvements as it has get worse battery life other than having a software issue? If anyone can prove that to me I'll admit this battery life is disappointing, but until then I think we should all WAIT and withold judgement till final software of released. I know that's hard for most of you but I suggest giving it a shot.

                                Even if the values stated in the review are correct, the battery life is very good considering the specification.

                                  lg g4 will be the phone with longest batterylife since lg is going to fix the g3's issue about the battery.

                                  g4 will be the phone of the year!

But I won't actually do that, because you know that what you said is just an attempt to troll and bash Samsung and has no truth to it.

                                      I will add this however, it doesn't alter the fact iPhone 6 is copy of ativ s and htc m7 and m8. also apple moved headphone jack to the bottom in iPhone 5 after Samsung did it in nexus s. It has been established that note 4 has significantly better camera than iPhone 6. S6 is even better in every aspect including both still image and video as was note 4.

                                      But I suggest you do some research before you attempt to troll, right now your behaviour is very childish. Also might want to calm down you seem to be very angry.
