Even taking pictures/shooting videos is not even as fast as S4/S5 (and i'm not using microsd on G3 to get it speedier) : while in a car yesterday, i wanted to shoot the moon quickly, it doesn't take current scene when you press button even if focused, but 2sec later... By daylight, it's still 1sec.
To sum up, camera lags both in taking and previewing before take (not being ultra smooth like on Galaxy S4-S5 when only pointing).

Bending intentionaly a S6 Edge with its curved screen and twice thinner sides against "normal" phones, how smart it is. That even shows than while being twice thinner on sides, it resists as well as i6+.
Putting pressure right on the center, any phone will bend anyway excepted it's titanium made. S6 has its reinforced aluminium against accidental pocket slight bending not dumb intentional tests.

[deleted post]The irony that z4 uses qhd resolution with fast and wireless charging. Not to mention aluminium 6013 of S6 and S6 edge is actually stronger than both z3 and z4. Bending phone, you do know that video is fake, also aluminium 6013.The drop test confirms S6 and S6 edge are the most durable handsets.
Also by your logic, all those who voted for S6 and S6 edge as well as all reviewers are paytrolls.
S6 edge survived for 20 minutes under water, very impressive since there is no IP67 rating. Official test carried out shows battery life is actually same as S5 for S6 and same as note 4 for edge. What else S6 and S6 edge are favourites as per gsmarena poll.

Having said that there is more to phone that removable battery and micro-sd card, hence choice is not that simple. I would be cautious with G4, as snapdragon 810 overheating means that there will be reduction in performance. I hope G4 has better battery life than G3.

This is a great phone. The performance is amazing and you won't have any problems. However, if you can wait, see what LG offers in the G4. If LG keeps a removable battery and micro sd card expansion, then the choice is simple. If it doesn't then you should compare the two, but by how good the G3 is, I'd say get the G4.

I mean that test suggests stronger aluminium 6013 used in S6 edge is weaker than one in iPhone 6, yeah right. Lets no ignore that they try to bend it in the middle not were iPhone 6 has weak spots.

AnonD-373771, 04 Apr 2015Funny how far apple is going to give S6 edge a bad reputati... moreI'm not sure if it's Apple only or any fanboys of any/all other brands trying to break current Samsung's fame (not hype since S6s are definitely top charters, check S6Edge review, it pretty nails everything and all benchs, even people with their gaming resolution argueing earlier can't say anything now).
I'm not even surprised to see that since trend was at Samsung's bashing up until now. And just right before official's release and availability of S6, as you are saying, some shady reports with scratched screens in circles (one i saw was like intended rubbing on some harsh surface) are popping up.
I wouldn't trust any of those reports so far, since among all phones i have bought, the only suspicious opening i had, was with a Motorola Moto X (2013). Phone perfectly sealed but while unsealing it and opening the box : fingerprints on screen, some dirt on the back (White phone, easily spotable) and some other little thing i don't remember, i was disappointed.
Even cheap chinese phones or clones i have bought never had such a thing.
And i never mentionned that anywhere on the internet or to my friends until now.
And even if there was really such a problem with S6, i'm pretty sure it would be some insider(s) saboting production and Samsung would quickly both replace products and find the cause. How come a company wanting to be n°1 would produce weak quality phones as flagships willingly? People never think i keep saying.
You are right, that's pathetic.

m86k, 04 Apr 2015Many S6 reviewers i mean.Funny how far apple is going to give S6 edge a bad reputation. some people claim S6 edge is scratched and has dead pixels. Yet when asked to provide photo to proof, their response was I don't have time take photos and I don't need to prove anything. All the people claiming the issues post from their iPhone 6.
One person did post photos, but the pattern matches that of intentional damage. They also claimed they received another unit over night with same issue, and returned both and choose to stick with their iPhone 6.
One person claimed to work in store and all the S6 edge they received had scratch, I guess he/she did open every single galaxy s6 edge to confirm. Seems like they are lying.
I think apple is actually scared of S6 and S6 edge, they are panicking.

Ranadheer, 04 Apr 2015everyhting is pretty good. As every one knows humans need o... moreI had a S4 and despite its battery's size, it was nowhere lasting as long as my S5, especially with screen on.
To get the most of a S4, you had to keep data off when not using your phone and not push to hard on brightness and if possible turning on eco mode.
It's not about figures for batteries sizes. My LG G3 with it's 3000mA is comparable to my S4 or i should say even a bit worse.
This afternoon, i was reading 3/4 pages of S6 Edge review here from my G3 over LTE (without any sound, video, messages or call, no bluetooth, no background apps, auto brightness @ 67% since screen is very dim in auto..) and i saw my battery dropping from 52% to... 38% over not even 1 hour (screen wasn't even on for 25min in total). And afterwards, i took 4 pictures then 5 or 6 short videos clips of less than 30sec in 4K and 720p slowmo, battery is now at 23%. Let me write it again : 3000mAh on G3.
Many reviewers are stating that battery is on par with S5. And with my S5, i already went to a cars show and took 300+ photos/videos without my phone dieing.

Then if you are still wondering what to do, so wait for LG G4 announcement and maybe Sony Z4 if it materializes somehow to make your decision.
That is only if you are aiming at buying a flagship phone.
Honest people will never tell you to buy a particular phone, it must come from you to be able to appreciate to its real value, not from others minds.

New tests from gsma seem to have calmed down all trolls since both S6 nail down pretty much all competition being 1080p or QHD SD810 or not. And battery results are quite good despite the normal size.
Sony and LG must have a lot pressure on their back this year. Hence Sony new Z3 commercials campaign whereas they werent advertising it for a looong while. Just saying, My 2cts
