I live in indirapuram, ghaziabad and last time I checked they were offering it at 49k only. Will check again when I buy.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Congrats on your purchase slim, I stay in bangalore and reliance is also offering at 43990, except Samsung Cafe every one is offering the same. We I told him if he can do some more discount he said he will work out 3-4% more discount if I really want to pick it then. So if I reduce another 4% I would have got it for 42k change. If anyone in bangalore want to know where to go, pm me and I will let u know which reliance digital to go.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
[MENTION=6019282]Aman[/MENTION]- thanks. each and every friend of mine showed criticism against my purchase. All are apple fan boys and believe me they all come to me if they need any assistance : on new products and even cars. :D

some said should have bought the edge version but a premium of 12k plus no protection, no thanks.

for all the others, I inquired about the prices of the screen before making the purchase. 9xxx rs for s6 and 12xxx rs for s6 edge. don't know why they kept 12k difference.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Even i have a ton loads of APple products, and between ip6 and S6, i will pick S6 anyday. My only gripe would be resale, but then that is a problem with any android phone. Will wait it out a bit more and pick it later end of next month i guess, should def get it at below 40k.
[Galaxy S6 General] Funkym0nkey:
yeah, I rarely buy expensive phones online. But sometimes you have to for various reasons. I never buy anything on EMI, but my friends do, so they have to go online route in such cases.

Also in my case Black 64GB was only available online when I wanted to buy, not locally where they only had Gold in 64GB.

But yes, agree with everything else. i bought my first 32GB for 49900. It was bad, so thankfully returned it and got refund after lot of fighting. Now I can buy 64GB for less than that. Insane drop. Much bigger than what we saw in 1st month with S5.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
even I wait a few months for the prices to settle and the first batches always have some problems but I needed a new phone so bought it. I didn't even read any reviews(the first time) just went to a friend who bought edge to ask him about the phone and the battery backup.

and frankly there was no other phone besides iPhone 6.

LG g4 not available in india.

HTC one m9+ @52k for a mediatek processor.

moto turbo - was seriously Considerimg this. I was watching a review of the phone outside croma (lol) but many said even though battery size is huge backup isn't that good. around 5:30 hours of sot. and paying 42k for a Motorola made me more confused.
[Galaxy S6 General] rajeshjsl:
Here's mine , already posted in battery thread but here you go ,

Sync is manual , 33% brightness , some gps (10 min) , some browsing (1 hr) , some camera pics (10min) , some video recordings (5 min at 60fps) , total 80km to and from airport , half hour calls .

some youtube , some music . Pretty good for my usage .

Just went to Croma.

41990 in store. + the wireless charger from Samsung.

Crazy how the price is dropping so much just a month after launch... and this is supposed to be the best phone on the market.

Pretty tempted at this price. Might just pick one up.
[Galaxy S6 General] PG101:
That's Samsung.. One of my grudge with the company.. But the S6 is really worth it.. I don't care that I paid 52 for a 64gb, and it may now be 49k.. He he

Just checked in Samsung Cafe in Phoenix mall, they are officially selling for 41,990 now.
[Galaxy S6 General] rajeshjsl:
Its officially more than a week since activation now , no signs of "s6 specials" in "deals for you" .

Time to shoot an email to samsung .

This is bad .
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Got it by the end of day 1. You should check it out.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
I hated Samsung like anything for their absurd pricing. 2 years back at croma I stopped one person from buying a grand :D and suggested him another phone. the sales person said please buy your own product

and don't say anything to the customers. :D I laughed so hard.

but really they have done a good job with this phone but still it will pinch me a little bit to see the MRP [MENTION=3835322]419[/MENTION]99 at croma. have to go to the market tomorrow so might go to croma as well.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Got the gold platinum for 40k
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Great deal. Welcome to the dark side :cool:
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
congrats and from where did you buy?
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
From a mall in bangalore. I just installed my samsung rewards app, can't see the option to get the wireless charger, any pointers.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Will take a couple of days post activation.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
wow that's great and now I am definitely feeling the pinch.

it will take 2 days for it to appear.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Thanks.

I was thinking of getting it for around 37.5k when the price reached that level, but got lucky somehow today. They are still selling for 41,990(just used some skills to get it for 40k). Thought with wireless charger thrown in it anyway was coming to around 37k, so went for it. I still think it will fall to around 37,999 in another month or so and then sit there till Note 5 comes.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dpk1:
Got new S6 64GB (Sapphire black)!

Hello guys! I got mine for 48.5k (64gb) yesterday. Got my 1.5 yr old Xperia Z1 exchanged (paid 38k cash). So far I'm pretty happy with my purchase. The phone itself is pretty slick n premium looking. Camera (Isocell) is awesome (better than my Z3)! Screen is better than ever (no tints), battery is decent for this beast of a phone (screen shots below). My S6 is made in India (manufactured in April 2015).
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
mate you are not helping :( I am going to write an email if I see the MRP [MENTION=3835322]419[/MENTION]99 at croma :p

dont know if it will be of any help but I'll still do.

you are getting good battery life. I get max 4 hours sot. have disabled some apps yes ram usage is high.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Guys. The battery life seems to stabilise over time.

One suggestion. Let it hit 100% before you take it off charge. 5 hour SoT. More than 20 hours of uptime. Always syncing.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
I asked the shop at kamla nagar and he quoted me 41k :banghead: last Sunday he said 45k :banghead:
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Ya even at 40k i am skeptical that i paid more.... it should not be this way when you buy such an expensive gadget.

Also guys could you please confirm that why does white look yellowish in the phone. My 1.8 yr old G2 has better whites.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Whites look white on mine. Absolutely satisfied with the display. Easily the best in the world right now.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
need to go check in showroom, but a lot of forums confirming that seems to be an issue at AMOLED side. It is not deal breaking, but just that it is a little irritating.
[Galaxy S6 General] kannanX10:
could u post ur camera ISP----by dialing *#34971539# and checking on the ISP ver check label

[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
That's interesting. I got the Sony sensor on my rear cam. Same manufacturer details.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
my ss

what's sls1? and why does the selfie pics looks odd after processing :/
[Galaxy S6 General] safepacket:
Guess what Samsung's prices are still falling.. I got my 32gig (black) for 40,300 and believe me I did not had to bargain a lot for this..

Got the phone from a store in cochin.
[Galaxy S6 General] jais_dude:
How about S6 edge prices?

Sent from my Galaxy S6 edge
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
I went to croma and there the price was the same. so now I know why croma was expensive everytime I inquired.

they don't decrease the prices even after the manufacturer decreases.

I reported this issue on email and got a call back from Samsung's executive team. the women on the other end just said it's a marketing technique and for all the features of the phone check Samsung sites:what:

I just said thanks and hung up.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr.Raviteja:
Hope Edge price will also go down :fingers-crossed:

Rhino shield bumper case by Evolutive Labs now available for S6

Hello All,

The famous Rhino shield bumper case by Evolutive Labs, which was available only for Iphone , is not available for s6 too,

The bumper comes in both Blue and White color and Looks amazing, and its a great protection for s6
[Galaxy S6 General] jais_dude:
So ur still waiting for ur edge..

Sent from my Galaxy S6 edge
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr.Raviteja:
Ya buddy Planning to Take on 8th June :p
[Galaxy S6 General] rajeshjsl:
Our S6 model is G920I .

Will it work in US/Europe/etc ? And if yes , what steps to be taken ?
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Guys i received a SMS saying that i can now claim my wireless charger in deals for you, but it is still not showing up, how long it takes after the SMS?

Got it, never mind.
[Galaxy S6 General] Sachinfan:
I am getting 41.9k near my home. although it is great for us, it is still bad news for samsung despite making one of the best android device of all time.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr.Raviteja:
I'm still Confused why there is a price drop only on S6 but not on S6 Edge..Around 7k has been dropped on S6 but not even 2k has been dropped on Edge
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Because I guess they are doing well with it and also it is a niche product. I am ok with this approach, though I really think Samsung should have launched S6 at a price of 43,990 to begin with.
[Galaxy S6 General] jais_dude:
Agree edge is doing well..in demand..supply not that great..well received globally. .:D;):)

Bought one on 13th April for 50k from trivandrum now it's down to 40k. Gonna sell it tomorrow and wait till note 5 releases. Otherwise I will be fu**ed up when note 5 releases
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
Got another OTA, this time around 137MB.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Mate the price will stabilize now, would stop around 38990, if you sell now you are just making a big loss.
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
After the update
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Ya got it too, any change log?
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
Haven't noticed any difference yet. Hope we get Android 5.1 in June with RAW support.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Ya, also the phone gets really really hot while upgrading the apps after the upgrade.
[Galaxy S6 General] rajeshjsl:
Can someone give the changelogs ?
[Galaxy S6 General] girishm:
unlucky

I'm one of those who bought this phone during early launch period (was in desperate need of phone and had not much options), back then Samsung mentioned if there's a price drop within 6 months of my purchase then the amount would be refunded, but Samsung site still displays the price as 49999, little confused as to whether I should ask them for refund as it's now available at around 40000 in official Samsung outlets. :confused:

I think u got 64gb s6 which was made in india --- if possible could u tell me ur camera ISP ver ,a screenshot......................

EDIT no need i ckecked ur earlier posts
[Galaxy S6 General] openmatrix:
Yea I know but the resale value will go down to 32k at that time. Another 10k loss. Anyway I'm exchanging with iPhone 6 and wait till note 5 comes out
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Look what just arrived in the mail! :)
[Galaxy S6 General] PG101:
Yet to receive mine.. when did you order?
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
The 21st.
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
It was Sony sensor
[Galaxy S6 General] rkial:
Is the camera lens getting scratched a major concern? It protruding doesnt matter. its not like cameras on other phones are depressed.

If you lay it on the table, it will make contact with the surface.. but I read somewhere that it is just regular glass and is more prone to scratching than the rest of the back or the screen.

How is it holding up for you guys?

I don't use a case. Don't want to. Will get some protection for the screen.. Maybe something for the back as well but I really dont see myself using a case.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
I usually like my phones naked. But this one, is all glass and quite thin. Put on a skin if you don't wanna increase the girth but be aware that continuous usage leaves its trace of fingerprints and grime which makes it extremely slippery.

Also, the camera lens does stick out. That in itself strengthens the case for a case(ah ha :)) more than anything else.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Buth now also you won't get more then 35k, anyway your choice mate :D

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

congrats mate, mine just got shipped.

Question for you, does it charge even when the phone is in the case..
[Galaxy S6 General] openmatrix:
Yea I know but the resale value will go down to 32k at that time. Another 10k loss. Anyway I'm exchanging with iPhone 6 and wait till note 5 comes out

I'm exchanging it with my friend's 6+ mate
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Cool...
[Galaxy S6 General] Sachinfan:
does this phone get warm little quickly? I bought it today and I am getting a feeling that it does get warm with casual usage too.
[Galaxy S6 General] openmatrix:
That's because of metal and glass. It will conduct a lot of heat than plastic. It's normal that android phones overheat.Remember smart phones today have much more power than workstations 5 years ago. BTW it's also normal to overheat while fast charging .

Check the phone's temperature with an app named Castro . If the temp goes above 48-50 then try to replace the unit.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
I too updated the phone. I manually checked then it showed an update. :sly:

turned off the automatic check for updates.
[Galaxy S6 General] japjit100:
Can any one tell best price for 64gb in delhi

Blue colour is available in india?
[Galaxy S6 General] rkial:
As you said, the skin wont help with the lens.

I mentioned not using a case just because I wanted to ask about the lens and ways to protect it without using a case.

Anyone using it without a case? Is it holding up fine? Anything that can be done/needs to be done to protect the lens other than using a case?

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Thats a pretty poor deal for him. He can sell his 6+ for over 40k easily :p

And that is if it is a 16gb model. He'll get even more if it is a 64gb.

16gb models with no expansion should just be a no go.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Perfectly. Only gripe is that you need to have a complete travel adapter in any case. :(
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Thanks, battery is real sore point of the phone, I am not even able to get through one day, really very disappointing.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
17-19 hours of runtime with 5 hour of SOT.... 4 or just under that, if there is some amount of 4G involved.

I am finding it above average for the most part. Could be better sure but seems good for now.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
You are lucky I am getting around 4 HR SOT on wifi and 3 on 3g/4g, and a runtime of 9-10 HR. I am a heavy user, but my G2 use to get through without a need for recharge. With s6 I have to give it a bit of juice during the end of day.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
I think for me the battery is good. btw I charge my phone as soon as it reaches 50%.

the 3hour sot ss was 100%-41%

2 hours sot ss is 100%-67%
[Galaxy S6 General] segag:
Wireless charger code

I cant claim the wireless charger because i bought the phone before 1st may! Apparently the offer is valid only for people buying the phone between 1st and 31st MAY. I feel bummed i paid a lot more money for this phone and i cant get the offer.. :crying:

Anyone else in the same boat?
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Finally got around to do some gaming. Dayum. Everything flies. Smooth as butter. It does get heated up but that's expected.
[Galaxy S6 General] rkial:
I wanted to ask about this... I keep reading the battery is fine but gaming will make it plunge..

That is the same for every phone, but I have no idea how had it is

is it 10% in 25-30 minutes or waay worse like 10% in 15 minutes.

A rough estimate would be great.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
More like the former. Lost about 15% during one hour of Mc5 and DT2. Full brightness and max settings.
[Galaxy S6 General] rkial:
That is fantastic. Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S6 General] B$!ngh:
I am using it without any case. Tempered glass on screen though.

No scratch since 8 days although be careful since it does feel slippery.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Got this today, seeing how average the battery life is this will stay at my office desk :p
[Galaxy S6 General] japjit100:
Hey guys any one sifted note 3 or 4 to s6

Screen looks small or not . have any problems
[Galaxy S6 General] girishm:
I shifted from Note 4 to S6.

Pros -

easy to carry and use

reasonably better camera

premium feel

lot faster with less bloat

Cons-

bad battery (really bad)

miss media/gaming experience of large screen

removable battery/SD card if that matters to you

---------- Post added at 06:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 AM ----------

Yes even I did the same, but I got around 2.5k worth Samsung reward points after registering my phone, even you might have got, check in Samsung rewards.

If not, you could try registering you phone and if applicable you will see your reward points within a weeks time.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
just posting for others to see how much battery life they can get. again, coming from nexus 5 this is a huge improvement

Have the GSam screenshot ?
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Haven't installed, will install now.. Does it work properly without root?
[Galaxy S6 General] rajeshjsl:
Yes , seems to .
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
So it lost south charge just in sleep mode, guess need to factory reset.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
turn off your location services if they are on. I forgot to turn them off and today battery was depleting faster than before. turned it off and saw immediate improvement.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Did that no good, something is keeping the phone awake, anyway to figure out wake lock without root.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
yeah that's the problem

my app shows just 20 minutes as awake. before reset I'll recommend uninstalling all 3 party apps plus disabling some of the Google appz
[Galaxy S6 General] japjit100:
Any one can tell me I have to check any manufacturer problems when I m purchase tomorrow
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Just make sure the phone is not broken :p

If there are problems you'll only get to know after using it
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Flashed latest BOE3 via Odin and rooted. All perfect.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
I guess i have found one issue why my phone is staying awake and hence bad battery life. When i am walking or mobile, the phone stays awake, initially i thought it was because of S Health counting my steps. So i disabled S health, but still the same issue.

Any pointers?

Also i am in bangalore and i am not getting 4G at all, when i went to AirTel Showroom they said it is an issue with Pre Paid and i should switch to Post paid. I tried with Post paid sim on my Phone and i did get 4 G, any pointers here too?
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Not sure if you're rooted, but if yes, have you flashed the recovery.img from the stock rom? Also wiping cache twice post doing this has worked like a charm for me. The S6 stays cold as metal and glass could be.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Not rooted, can't as office mail won't work or else. Have cleaned cache once, will try again.
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Have you disabled Galaxy Apps, Samsung push service? Disabling Samsung push instantly made my device cool. Also disable any unwanted syncing stuff from accounts.
[Galaxy S6 General] japjit100:
I m going buy today

Can anyone tell me how to get free wireless charger

Today is last day
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
The seller will inform you how to get the charger. He will install an application. Samsung rewards and you will get a coupon in that app after 2 days. Go to samsung estore. Add wireless charger to your cart and apply coupon. Add your address and it will be delivered at your home.
[Galaxy S6 General] rajeshjsl:
I have been fed up from samsung support .

The coupon isn't appearing in the app . Already been 12 days since activation .

Mail exchanges done , called customer support , stupid service .

The "s6 specials" tab is itself not present .

Saw many people complaining the same thing in the review of the "My samsung rewards" application in google play .

Heck , one guy says he's going to file a case against samsung for fraud .

You'll be lucky if you get the coupon . If took more than 3 days , it wont even appear (till) .
[Galaxy S6 General] x017in:
got eh coupon within 48 hours of buying.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
The app ask to turn on the location. Maybe you can turn it on then check. I too wasn't getting so did this and it appeared. You can try it.
[Galaxy S6 General] rajeshjsl:
Did it with a gps fix couple days ago , still no help .

Why are people getting the same problem and giving bad reviews to the app in the play store ? Looks like the situation is more serious .
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
The framing battery life is pis sing me off to an extent I want to break the head of the rep who sold me this phone. The stupid phone just refuses to go to sleep when I am walking even after disabling the shealth app and reseting the phone. It's a shame as this phone is so much awesome in every other department
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
LoL

The wake bug is only for those who've rooted and the fix is to flash the stock recovery.img. You're not rooted which means it's likely an app syncing in the background draining your battery. Which means end-user error. I don't recall anyone else reporting the issues like the way you're describing...So millions of people around the world can't be wrong.

Coming here and dissing the phone just makes you sound like a troll.... If you're not one, take your device to a service center and get it checked.
