I agree the phone looks great but my main issue with this release is going to be the MISSING MICROSD slot.

not to bothered about the battery being none removable but no MICROSLOT ..... what year is this again, ? ... might end up going for the note 4...... or galaxy edge.
[Galaxy S6 General] Applesexual:
Let's wait until the the official announcement.
[Galaxy S6 General] rodstar86:
From that leaked video the edge looks way better than what was seen in recent leaks. Hell with it S6 Edge here I come. I'll prob deal with the no SD card issue and back my files (photos, music ect.) Daily.

Side note is there any kind of NFC enabled memory card that maybe I can just touch the back of the phone to transfer recent files. (If not don't steal my idea):D
[Galaxy S6 General] manojmcn:
My assumptions:

The low end phones aren't bringing in enough margin so target the top premium end customers who are also ready to go for iphone for whom there is no loss.

They are confident of people opting for Note 4 in case non removable battery / micro sd slots are needed.

The edge is a looker but also a market catalyst for Note 4 edge, for people who wants more functionality on the edge.
[Galaxy S6 General] spridell:
I have to agree that if the leaked video just out are the real deal, they look MUCH MUCH better than what has been posted here before.

The EDGE looks really good.

Yup Apple is going to sue them for the speaker holes that are round in shape, which was invented by Apple for iphone 6.

Before that all holes were hexagonal in shape

Yup a little disappointed at HTC One M9. Except for camera its all M8.

They have virtually handed an open goal post for Samsung.

here it is:[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EvkCXmD3cQ[/YOUTUBE]

Seems like a nice phone tbh
[Galaxy S6 General] ViRuS3k:
Well guys.

seen the htc live feed and going by the spec.....

20mpixel camera vs 16

qualcomm 810 snapdragon vs exynos

sdcard slot vs none

the only better factors i can see there between the htc and samsung is better display on samsung vs lower on htc vs better camera on htc vs lower camera on samsung

then there is the speakers, boom sound with 5.1 dolby vs midget sound on the samsung.

they better pull something out when samsungs live feed comes on or i know where i will be going....
[Galaxy S6 General] harjybarjy:
Random question, I use a OTG micro SD to USB adapter (like this one: http://www.gearbest.com/memory-cards/pp_149197.html?currency=GBP&gclid=CP_f_-q-h8QCFUrpwgodqVEAUg), Do you think it can be read on custom recoveries to flash zip files?

Since the new S6/S6E doesnt have SD card support, i could still get the entry level/cheapest S6/S6E and plug this in for music/photos/films,etc... and save a bit of cash!
[Galaxy S6 General] BoostRoid:
What? How do you figure the camera is better on the M9? Because if the megapixel count? Come now.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr_Maz:
camera mpixel means nothing when you get to this level, apperture size, software and OIS are more important

810 v 7420 will be interesting - 7420 should be more effiicient

sd card slot - big win for HTC for people upgrading who already have a 64gb+ card

^^ This is Sony A7s a FF camera, but

only 12.2MP

.

With your idiotic logic HTC M9 with it's 20MP camera is better than this? Afterall M9 has more megapixelzzzzz.
[Galaxy S6 General] David111jr:
lol. :laugh: Its to early to say which camera is better because of the fact it has more MP it does have the opportunity to be better.

That being said it probably wont be, its a camera made from toshiba that hasnt been tested before.(unless im wrong)

Where samsung camera has been tested on the note 4 and knows what had to be done to make it better. And rumors speculate that they have.

Im sure blind comparisons will be all over the place very soon :cyclops:

There has been confirmation the m9 are preproduction model that does not have all the tweaks that the production model has. That being said the camera will probably still suck [it's htc were talking about]

[Galaxy S6 General] David111jr:
Yes it can be used. But we probably won't have custom recovery or root for a long time if not ever.

That's the only thing slowing me down to pre-ordering the s6
[Galaxy S6 General] vegetaleb:
The real winner until now is the Note 4.

Perhaps the Sony Z4 later

Sadly I've heard no mention of Verizon carrying the S6 or S6 edge. I really hope they don't take forever to make it available.

Agreed. Not worth upgrading from an S5. Guess I'm waiting 6 months on a monthly rolling contract sim until September.

[Galaxy S6 General] kolembo:
We're up and the hall is PACKED. Everyone is on their devices.

A woman in tight business suit and high heels comes on stage and welcomes CEO. He has the phone in his his pocket.

Relentless Innovation. We listened, we learned, we pushed forward. We rebuilt from the ground up. The most beautiful phone Samsung have ever produced and the most advanced one in the world.

The screens that go the ENTIRE way around the hall burst into life, aaaaand....

The pictures are exactly as the OP suggested!

As has been the discussion all week, it's the curve that they're pushing - and yes, it's gorgeous.

It remains to be seen what they're going to do with the none-curved version.

The pricing will dictate whether or not the S6 flies off the shelf - and it's availability.

I think they should have released just the curve.

There you have it.

The curve is gorgeous. Absolutely. The detail is very precise. The plain S6 is plain ugly.

Let the games begin.
[Galaxy S6 General] CFoote:
The 2600 mAh battery is disappointing - with a very high resolution display and 8 core processor, I will be very curious about battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] sohebq:
Great joke on iphone, hahah. Lady rocked,
[Galaxy S6 General] CouldntThinkOfAUsername:
So it was real. A pretty ugly device, if I want something that looks like an iPhone, I'll buy the iPhone 6.
[Galaxy S6 General] spridell:
Well from all the reviews so far it seems the EDGE might be the way to go.

And the different colors are really nice. The black and white versions look boring.
[Galaxy S6 General] blueandigo:
I want to punch them. All of these references to micro **** but no micro sd
[Galaxy S6 General] kolembo:
Haaaaa! They've gone directly after the i6plus with the camera!

They did side by side photos - and didn't mince their words. This is the i6plus.... And THIS is the S6.

Incredible. Ha.
[Galaxy S6 General] fix-this!:
yeah right down to copying the rounded frame of the iphone 6.
[Galaxy S6 General] blueandigo:
So why you remove my extra storage?
[Galaxy S6 General] XperiaiPhone:
iPhone clone...

It's so funny reading comments here and some members even accusing the thread starter a liar. He just posted a phone he received yet many bashed him, Now they are eating what they said. The same phone reefur posted is exactly the S6 with no changes. Many Samsung fans think Samsung can design a truly new phone. Well, surprise!!! its just the same iPhone clone it started to begin with... :highfive::silly:
[Galaxy S6 General] kolembo:
It's hilarious! It's a mad scramble for the phones! It's a scrum! Old people being shoved out of the way! Airport style announcements! VR glasses in attendance.

Is so funny. Ah.

I have to tell you though. I think Samsung's pulled it off - the materials look excellent and the detailing is seamless. I think once these things hit the streets (it has to be the edge) everyone will want one. The reactions to the phone in the hands of the journalists is all the same - premium.

So.

Again, it's all about the edge though. The lighting notifications is a fabulous coup - they love it.

HTC M9 vs Galaxy S6
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr_Maz:
i think it may be a case of them saying that any storage card you add will perform slower than the new version of storage provided by the device
[Galaxy S6 General] reefur:
Just wanted to apologize for the fiasco everyone. Just wanted to share something I was confused about that was brought to me. Turned out to be bigger than I thought. I wanted to show more but out of respect to Samsung and others involved I stopped posting. I just wanted to share knowledge/info with the forum I have loved for years but due to a few haters who dug up old posts here and elsewhere, tried to find me on social media and then threatened me and gave that info to others. I had to stop for the sake of my family and to respect the companies involved. (Even though most had it all wrong with bad info) Despite offers of money and exclusive articles I simply wanted to share with this community I've taken from so much in the past. In the end, I stole nothing, nor did I conspire to do anything out of the ordinary. An acquaintance dropped something on my lap they were confused about and I shared. I can assure you guys this was not worth the stress caused but I was glad we could all share in it despite the negative people. Let me assure you, I was impressed by the phone and feel Samsung has a winner despite some of the obvious complaints. (no SD, non-removeable battery, iPhonesque design) Anyhow, to each their own and I apologize if I made anyone angry, my intent was never personal gain. Enjoy the show everybody!
[Galaxy S6 General] dandroid13:
Too bad about the sdcard but I'll still get one anyway, the blue one is really nice. :D

And who cares if it looks like an iPhone, it has Android, you can root and mod the hell out of it unlike an iPhone. ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] sandman512:
LOL, go ahead and enjoy IOS.
[Galaxy S6 General] cleverley1986:
Like I said.

Not a big enough jump for me to go from an S5. I'll be waiting for the next Note.
[Galaxy S6 General] MacTheRipperr:
I have the s5 and most definitely will be getting a black s6 edge. Haters are going to hate.
[Galaxy S6 General] blueandigo:
Idc, I should still have an option. They really listened to their fans alright.
[Galaxy S6 General] sohebq:
seems like they want us to focus on edge alone as this is future.
[Galaxy S6 General] ste9hen:
Well Sony have been trying to sell phones on the basis of metal frame, glass back and Sony camera and it has not helped them much.

And this is with waterproofing and 2 day battery life and SD cards.
[Galaxy S6 General] RED_:
OP was right!

Good phone, definitely getting one. USF2.0 is a big deal, camera looks great, design is great and everything overall seems pretty damn good. Best phone on the market when it comes out.
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
I must say, I really like it.

I like the looks except the front is a little boring and fingerprints on the black won't look great. Glass will be less slippery than metal back.

Screen looks much improved (would have liked 5.2,5.3), size, weight (138g nice!), Fast camera access, focus and quality, speed looks very good in hands on videos. wireless charging, fast charging, Might actually use the fingerprint reader now. Samsung pay sounds good if it ever comes to Canada.

All the little things really add up. This is what Samsung does well. They do their best to do everything the best and often pull it off.

I just hope the 128gb isn't crazy expensive.

What colour to choose... Black, white, blue, gold. They all look pretty nice actually. Gold and Blue reflect light really crazy. Need to see them all in person.
[Galaxy S6 General] nyknight77:
Very disappointed, but on the bright side, the s6's back is not ugly like the HTC m9 rounded turd

[Galaxy S6 General] das boot:
If you think that looks anything like the frame of the iPhone 6, you must have a very vivid imagination. The edge, nor the regular s6, look nothing like the extremely rounded and uncomfortable edges of the iPhone.

Attaching the image of Ativ S released in 2012 for the sake of people who think rounded edges

came into the world with iphone 6.
[Galaxy S6 General] mickeywdw1254:
Cool, is this the iPhone 6 running the newest release of iOS?
[Galaxy S6 General] allendj81:
It looks freaking awesome, Ill jump on the Edge for sure. This is the Galaxy S6, not a freaking Iphone. Cant believe that they are comparing the S6 to the iphone just because it has rounded corners, all galaxy devices have had rounded corner in the past, if anything the iphone6 copied the galaxy line. Display is better, it charges faster, the both cameras are better, color options are better, innovation of hardware is better (at least on the Edge). Buy what you like, you have the option to do so, this thread is full of haters that wont even buy the phone even if it met their "expectations" lol

[Galaxy S6 General] aquaholik:
If they are disappointed with the S5 sales, the S6 sales will be even worst. Like somebody said, if I wanted an Iphone 6, I'll buy the Iphone 6. They'll learn that the 32gb model sales will flop and nobody is going to shell out another $100 or $200 for the 64GB and 128GB. LG and HTC learned from their mistakes and brought back the SD card. The Nexxus sales would double if they had an SD card.

I'll excuse the SD card exclusion but now it has a smaller battery, an absolutely unneeded 1440x2560 that will burden the smaller battery further, and most disappointing of all, if you went to the trouble of internal battery and no SD card, the least you could do is make it waterproof.

This is a MAJOR stepback from the S5 and all because they don't know who their loyal customers are and bet the company on a new design just because Apple had the best sales ever due to the pent up demand for a bigger Iphone.

The S5 sales was not as expected not because of the design but because of increased competition and nobody needs to upgrade their phone every year. I'll be looking for the S5 price to drop and pick it up because it will be a bargain. Bigger battery, 1080p, waterproof, SD card. Why the hell would I buy an S6 just because of the increase processor speed that I will never be able to tell the difference in every day use but the shorter battery life will be noticeable every day. The increase resolution will not be noticeable and I will not be able to use my current SD card.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jeshter2000:
You clearly do not know what you are talking about my friend. I held this devices. And it soo totally different, than anything else on the market. Touchwizz has never felt sooooo smooth.

Themes changes every aspect of the OS, built in wireless charging and for both standards. And the 64 GB is worth every DIME O can tell you that.
[Galaxy S6 General] aquaholik:

You are betting form over function. We'll see how disappointing the second and third quarter sales is for Samsung six months from now.

[Galaxy S6 General] eyc:
This guy is a moron, and in due time, will come to realize it, starting with when Samsung's sales fail to "flop" as he so eloquently states. I don't mind skepticism or opposing views, but when someone speaks in such exaggerated tones about everything, none of it can be taken seriously (e.g., "flop" "double the sales," " MAJOR stepback").
[Galaxy S6 General] sohebq:
Place S5, LG G3 and M8 side by side and ask a non techy or normal user to pick one. Probably his first choice would be G3 then M8 and lastly he will go for S5. Why? Because for him design n looks matters. He is not bothered about Water proofing, fingerprint, heartrate bla bla. Samsung finally learned to change the design. Hence what is left to bash now. Weired.

Will be getting S6 Edge in white, best looking phone to date... don't need SD card, not using one in S5 either.
[Galaxy S6 General] kolembo:
Unfortunately that increased competition was a direct result of design.

People want a phone that they WANT to use. That makes them feel good using. Every phone is very capable these days.

You may be right about the sdCard issue and Samsung may reverse that.

The Galaxy S6 is a gorgeous phone. Absolutely. The attention to detail is meticulous, and more importantly, they are reporting that is feel is next to nothing else available.

These devises are the most intimate things in our lives - we fondle then more than anything else.

The S6 Edge will be Samsung's biggest phone ever.
[Galaxy S6 General] tharindunw:
nice work
[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
actually, it appears people want a phone that "looks cooler" fashion over function it seems.

take a look at the S6/Edge, it seems people are swinging towards the Edge simply because of the cool factor. lets face it, how useful is the Edge of the phone? whoa, it has a notification and a clock! nothing i can't already see at the top of the screen.

now if they made the phone completely without a bezel, i would find that more appealing and functional. ie more immersion when playing videos, games, browsing the web, etc..
[Galaxy S6 General] kolembo:
[MENTION=853591]tft[/MENTION] yes that's the point I'm making. At this stage, function is ALREADY pretty much taken care of.

People don't want fashion over function. They want something they enjoy spending time with.

Function is now assumed... And the Galaxy S6 Edge sounds and looks exceedingly functional!

The design of the S6 allows it to become more than a phone for the people that use it. We no longer wear clothes just to keep warm, drive cars just to transport ourselves, build buildings simply to live and work in.

The S6 itself does not impress me. However, the S6 Edge is a game changer. Samsung is challenging the experience of owning a phone here.

I think it will change everything.
