And FYI, it boots although I booted one I had permission to do so on. I left the other alone, same model. Definitely glass back, feels solid as heck, runs android 5.0.2., no more finger swipe, just press like iPhone/iPad. This thread has gotten a bit out of hand. My fault, my curiosity has led to craziness. Im going to let others do the work going forward. Also, this IS the s6 whether you like it or not albeit not final version. I confirmed by turning the 2nd unit I got my hands on obviously. Pictures have not done this phone justice, it's actually pretty nice. It's weird, people complain about Samsung's build quality and point at HTC and Apple as examples of solid build quality, Samsung takes cues from them and they get ripped? I guess you can't make everyone happy. I'm fine without removable battery but the SD card being gone does piss me off..... To each their own, I know people are passionate about what they want or need. Anyways..... Voila
[Galaxy S6 General] spock123:
That's absurd!! That's a ****load of money for not much data.

Ofcourse in your circumstance it would be wise to save data as much as you can.

But I don't agree with you about keeping media local, never stream 3G/4G etc.

Yes, in your case it makes sense, but a lot of places it doesn't.

I my case I pay 30$ a month for unlimited 4G, I have speeds around 50-100mbit anywhere I go (Copenhagen, Denmark) and there is no data throttling at all. So for people living in places like that it does make sense to stream.

Heck, I never even turn on wifi cuz it's so slow compared to LTE, lol.

In Korea they have even faster speeds and better coverage.. I've heard of people in Seoul getting 40 mbit LTE inside a METAL ELEVATOR!

Internet is the future man, I'm telling you... that also applies for radio

The data prices will come down eventually.. also where you live.
[Galaxy S6 General] Applesexual:
Ok, those pics actually do make it look a lot better. Maybe it's down to the angle?

BTW, how's the UI? Does it lag or stutter?
[Galaxy S6 General] Phillax:
That title goes to HTC.
[Galaxy S6 General] nishant786:
It does! It looks sexy. And i really want them to succeed again, they seem to be taking a lot of steps in the right direction lately. Dont want people to write them off - a la HTC.

You are right. They seem to be taking a lot of steps in the right direction and deserve credit.

So do you, inspite of your apprehensions you did give us a lot of info. Thanks a lot!

Overall did you seem to be satisfied though? With the build quality and especially the UI?
[Galaxy S6 General] reefur:
No lag, video might get posted by someone else, anything is possible. UI is classic Samsung garbage. Slightly different than Note 4. But buttery smooth.
[Galaxy S6 General] Applesexual:
Thank ****ing god. At least they got this one correct.

[Galaxy S6 General] RainesX:
Ah man and here i were seriously considering to return to sammy after trying the z1 out.

Unless the edge have an sdcard slot i wont return.

Both HTC and LG have put there sdcard slots back and the the only one always hanging on to it goes and removes it!

da fuk? :eek:

ah well guess the last thing that dies is hope :silly:
[Galaxy S6 General] maikel_swe:
Why?
[Galaxy S6 General] kaaleth:
Looks like fake GooPhone.

For Giving the HTC one M9 the same front design as the One M8 instead of slightly modifying it and removing the black bar.
[Galaxy S6 General] jay1996:
For the guys who are saying its fake.. At least you are getting a preview of a prototype , if you are uncomfortable with these just get the hell otta here. This is just a prototype and we love it , although there are pros and cons , let's just wait for the final version and the official release. :cool:
[Galaxy S6 General] allendj81:
By sunday's time, ill still be an american and you will be in your country of origin, still calling people names and crying that the S6 doesnt have an fm radio. I never insulted you. If you are so desperate of buying a cell phone based an fm radio feature, you should simply consider another nice cell phone of equal price, if you think that listening to the radio on a $800 device is cool.
[Galaxy S6 General] Chris Gabriel:
I have some doubts about this

Aww i think this is not legit, 2 scenarios:

1. it’s another attempt from Samsung to disappoint us by pushing us yelling and insulting its next product in order to wow us with something completely beautiful and gorgeous and then boost the sales over the world

2. It’s just a fake render made by a Chinese manufacturer

Personally I don’t believe this is the next Galaxy S6 why:

1. it lacks the logo on the back and on the front by accident there is a bar code sticker just where we should have been seeing the logo Samsung (come on guys, even though it’s a test product or something like that, why Samsung would not put its logo on it),

2. the one who leaked these pictures refuse to boot up the phone (weird!),

3. it lacks a memory card slot (Samsung will never do that because it knows how android users like that, and there is no point for to do such thing,

4. the sim card slot is below the power button (when i see the AT&T image of the Galaxy S6 egde variant there is no such thing, maybe you would say that the sim card slot is on the left side for the edge, that doesn’t make sense because the screen curved in both side so if the S6 has a sim card slot on the right side then the S6 edge should have one to there and between us I prefer to believe that the picture that all major american carriers have put on their websites for the S6 is more legit than a complete stranger coming from nowhere).

5. by seeing the image of the S6 from carriers website we can notice that the build material is different from the one in those leaked images, the one from carriers is gorgeous and doesn’t look any other phones, more likely i will be buying the edge variant, and by paying attention to the corner i can see that the metal go behind the phone which makes me think that there won’t be glass on the back of the phone…

So guys better wait March 1st…

just check the image from AT&T, Sprint and Tmobile websites

[MENTION=498081]reefur[/MENTION] Can you send me please a short PM with your email or so? Thanks! Cheers Chris
[Galaxy S6 General] Phillax:
Why do you want his email?:confused:
[Galaxy S6 General] Applesexual:
There does seem to be discrepancies between the official renders and the leaked photos. Perhaps these really are prototypes and not the final build.
[Galaxy S6 General] kolembo:
This can't be it.

If this is the Samsung S6 I'll....I'll...

It cannot be. No way. Every normal cell of my body tells me you're all being taken for a ride. Does this look like liquid metal to you? Certainly this has no water-proofing.

Samsung knows what it's doing with the S6, absolutely has to get it right, no second chances here.

THIS is a toy phone. Lego perhaps.
[Galaxy S6 General] krept55:
Can you get any more specification from it ? Camera spec, etc?

Also what do you rate the looks out of ten in purpose bro?

Lastly is there ant bloatware
[Galaxy S6 General] Applesexual:
1. S Voice - Bloat

2. S Health - Bloat

3. Facebook - Bloat

4. WhatsApp (download link) - Bloat

5. Microsoft One Drive - Bloat

6. Microsoft One Note - Bloat

7. Skype - Bloat

8. All Google apps - bloat

9. GALAXY APPS - bloat

That's about it.
[Galaxy S6 General] reefur:
Ok

Ok, sorry.
[Galaxy S6 General] Applesexual:
Wait. Do you have any edge versions?
[Galaxy S6 General] Tron666:
OP: Filthy lair.

or just uses some old development models and claims em to be final product.

ggwp.
[Galaxy S6 General] King p1n:
Oh shut up.

You made a new account just to say that?

Theres always one person... *yawn*
[Galaxy S6 General] MerXury13:
He never said it's final. I don't like leaks at all, but just calling him a liar is stupid.
[Galaxy S6 General] zomer86:
Nevermind it's real.
[Galaxy S6 General] riz157:
If this the actual s6 then it's bit of a disappointment since it looks very much like previous versions. However it's an improvement as it's better build quality.

Would I buy this over the m9 which is also very similar to m8, based upon the images alone probably not. I owned m8 and currently using note 4 and i keep going back to m8 because of its looks, feel and ui.

S6 still looks plastic and cheap in the images, unless the ui is drastically revamped I'm afraid Samsung could take a further hit.
[Galaxy S6 General] King p1n:
Can you not read?

He clearly stated it seems to be a prototype model.

Either way the S6 will likely look no different to what hes posted.
[Galaxy S6 General] Applesexual:
But the SD 810 will make your M9 lag like Android gingerbread and cut your battery life in half. :D
[Galaxy S6 General] Chris Gabriel:
Hmmm

It's up to everyone to have his own opinion, we can't trust or believe everything that is on internet why? wait because it's internet, you're being too mysterious with your leaks, if you really want to convince us that your product is the real S6 it's simple show us the About option of the phone with the build number and product name on it, show us a benchmark result of the phone with all the specs on it, but wait you're not doing that, what are you hiding ? :confused:
[Galaxy S6 General] sohebq:
We don,t need to see Powered by Android. Can you show previous logo whereit says Samsung Galaxy S6 and also about phone page. This will end all confusion.

Sent from Galaxy Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
[Galaxy S6 General] Chris Gabriel:
Aww

Yes i made a new account to say something about my opinion so what is your problem with that? or better for which reason do you want me to open an account here? maybe for one of your post ? okay that's not a big deal PM the links of your post and i will take a look of them, and also everyone is free to have his own opinion if you don't agree with that it's fine i'm not trying to convince you of that, but i prefer to think logically before accepting something, if i was saying all of that it was because i have seen some unclear thing and i was hoping from the owner of those pics to clarify them for me instead of condemning my point...
[Galaxy S6 General] zozza1985:
S6

We hope this to be really :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] riz157:
That remains to be seen, real life performance is important factor when deciding which phone to go for. I was bitterly disappointed with note 4 performance with its lag even though thee specs would suggest the opposite. If Samsung have addressed lag issues and revamped TW then that could win back consumers however I'm not so sure Samsung have fixed those issues.
[Galaxy S6 General] 10xavix10:
I hope at least S6 is water resistant, otherwhise it's not going to make sense. Think about S5 users that want to upgrade to S6. It doesn't make sense that they have to lose a feature as important as this buying the next version of the phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] reefur:
The pictures don't do it justice. It feels thin and solid in hand, regardless it will not please everyone. Good night.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jimmith:
I did a quick fix and cleanup of the best front shot to get a better view of it.

I like the look, but it's nothing revolutionary. I guess the double edge version is the "project zero" one.
[Galaxy S6 General] FrezoreR:
What's the point in covering the identification holes when you can find those pictures in the thread either way?
[Galaxy S6 General] kaaleth:
Any chance to post new images without stickers? Or maybe could you show us - for example - half part of the Samsung logo?

Otherwise it's fake (GooPhone I think).

Shocking I tell you.

I'll wait for the launch but if this is it, is all over for Samsung.

Horrendous. Absolutely.
[Galaxy S6 General] MacTheRipperr:
I'm not seeing what all the fuss is about. That s6 edge looks beautiful to me. The sd card slot is a bit of a disappointment, but I think I could probably get over that. Be open to other people's opinions and respect that not everyone may see things the same way you do. Thanks for the photos to everyone that contributed.

[Galaxy S6 General] MrKaon:
We have to wait and see, last year LG managed to lag perfect 801 so don't judge latest snapdragon SoC performance base on LG's phone.

HTC is a master of software and thermal enhancement.
[Galaxy S6 General] HoustonZ33:
First off, That looks like the same ol' same ol' ****in' TouchWiz to me - That alone might keep me on the Nexus 6.

Second, The SD 810 is a fireball.....plain and simple, Early word is it's heating up and bogging down the M9 as well. I fear every phone with a SD 810 may have the same fate.
[Galaxy S6 General] Cyberz22:
I hope it's not true!
[Galaxy S6 General] blueandigo:
Yeah this thing is trash. Thanks to everyone for complaining about plastic when you can put a case in your phone. Now no one gets a removable battery nor SD cards.
[Galaxy S6 General] oliverweidel:
I can confirm this. So the pictures are leaked, nothing to hide. The "not edged", "not metalled" S6 will look like the pictures from reefur. If you say fake, then you have to wait for MWC... ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] apis10:
Btw Samsung announced a faster flash memory module today.

It will run 32,64 and 128gb and it is said to be faster than previous versions.

Personally, I wouldn't mind 32gb internal only. It is enough for most people.

I get that some might want an external SD card for backups and keeping roms to flash, but let's face it, we are a minority in this world!

You need to have a better understanding of wireless networks (ALL wireless networks, including 3g/4g/5g/LTE etc etc)

Wireless bandwidth IS limited, there's only so much you can ram through the air digitally.

Utilising unlimited wireless data would be like everyone in every home turning their taps on in their home at once, eventually the water will slow to a trickle.

It's not an efficient use of bandwidth and it's simply wasteful. You're using more battery for a start, you're also becoming 'accustomed' to having data remotely which is not only less secure but what about when you roam and you're in the habit of utilising data remotely? You forget, big bill.

If everyone continues to behave this way, phones will soon have NO storage and it'll all be done over cellular / mobile data, they'll assume people don't even want big phones.

Regardless of where I live and how much it is, I simply can't do it, it feels wasteful. I'd much rather a tip top quality 320kbit, well encoded mp3, with art on my device and 1080p h.264 encoded media, all on my SD card (or in the case of the S6 sadly? My local phone memory)

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

I don't even care about the radio, I care about the members that do. It's a premium feature, included on premium phones, presumably the S series is no longer a premium product.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

If you read the full 10 pages of the thread, you'll see someone else has posted a pic of an s6 edge and an s6, side by side - his s6 in the photo looks pretty much identical to the op. So either the op has made a second account to backup his pic (and obtained a real edge s6?) or 2 people can now confirm their prototypes are very similar to one and other.

Occams razor says these photos are sadly legit, despite the mis-aligned SIM card tray and lack of an SD Card.

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

I

NEVER

complained about the plastic. All the idiots complaining about the plastic were iphone or htc fans crying that "Samsung phones aren't like the phones I like" - so now all the goddamn phones will be the same.

The plastic made for several awesome things.

The S1/2/3/4/5 were all slightly lighter due to the plastic.

they were all slightly flexible

they all had slightly less inertia when dropped due to the weight

combine all of these things - made them pretty damn resilient phones

Furthermore, I never found them cheap feeling.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

So you're making a claim right here, right now there will be at LEAST 3 different models?

I do not believe you in the slightest.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr_Maz:
looking at the the #iamthenextgalaxy released images from Samsung either the front or the back of the device tapers downwards from the top and up from the bottom

http://www.technobuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/next-galaxy-s6.jpg

I don't see that on these images
[Galaxy S6 General] wizzbang3:
Definitely can't deny you're right on that - and it makes very little sense to me - none the less, these pics do now seem legit.

Perhaps they use a modified S5 / S6 'cheap' casing for the test models? like the ones in this pic and the final product is a bit more impressive?

Regardless, no SD card is still killer :/ and I'd heard the no SD card rumours last week, not just in this thread.
[Galaxy S6 General] Large Hadron:
That's because those images are of the Edge model.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr_Maz:
but the edge variant shown in todays leaks also shows a square bottom ?

either way with all the pre-production marks on the front and the not for sale on the pack this is clearly not a retail model. Personally hope this isn't the final design for the standard version, but I'll probably go for the edge anyway
[Galaxy S6 General] FrezoreR:
Indeed :) but not that blue sticky stuff :P
[Galaxy S6 General] ShadowLea:
I'm shocked that almost nobody here knows that Providers get a test device in a test shell. So they can be tested on their network.

It's not the final version, but it's probably pretty damn close.
[Galaxy S6 General] zomer86:
Testing should be finished by now.
[Galaxy S6 General] kolembo:
I bet you BOTH Samsung and HTC have attempted to distract us.

Well, I hope so anyway. HTC can survive an evolution, particularly as they've moved their low light camera to the front, and put in a fabulous rear one - but Samsung cannot survive what I'm seeing in the pictures.

It simply cannot survive it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr_Maz:
testing may be finished, doesn't mean that they will be sending our the final product to people.

It's clearly a test device based on the markings on the front.

did the poster say how he got the device?
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Read the first sentence posted in here. It is from AT&T HQ.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr_Maz:
thanks, so if he received it via AT&T (and not directly) it could have been sent to them at anytime during the testing period
[Galaxy S6 General] :
But I am still suspicious. How can he have been getting it from an AT&T HQ if he is in Korea? AT&T is not even Korean.
[Galaxy S6 General] Biggenz:
Coming from iOS to Android recently, I thought I'd wait for the HTC One M9 to be released only to see it looks exactly like the M8. Then I thought the GS6 must be amazing at launch only to find this thread. Lol.

[Galaxy S6 General] Sacher_Masoch:
That's bad if the phone doesn't have a micro SD card slot (I just bought one for my note 2). It is (with the physical home button) the reason why I like the phone. I don't really care about the design, even if just making a copy of apple might be stupid in my opinion.

BTW, if it really doesn't have the card support, do you know any other brand which make a phone with a physical button, a micro SD slot AND a big community for custom roms? :D
[Galaxy S6 General] Rajesh_m:
Do you have any camera samples of htc rear camera? Probably not! And samsung has clearly improved their design unlike the htc which is still sticking to the m8 design. And yet you think htc will survive and samsung will not! Much hatredness! And not to mention about that superhot processor in htc m9(m8s?)

Hatred towards samsung and its products are increasing day by day. The leaker itself told that the device is solid and looks good,and yet you guys act as ignorant people!

I have been all samsung guy so far since I really hate everything about LG,SONY,HTC. For the first time i was geniuenly excited about a phone release and BAM.. no sd card. What am I supposed to do with a phone without external storage ? goddamnit my 10+ year old nokias had sd card slots. How hard is it to put an sd card slot to any phone ? the module itself is a tiny piece and im pretty sure the integration wont take an engineers 1 day in work. If edge variant has sd slot I will buy that one else I'm gonna keep hugging my S4 which would be still the best Galaxy S in the market
[Galaxy S6 General] Android-Desire:
I wonder how HTC lived past the design.
[Galaxy S6 General] el6006:
Those profiles on the #iamthenextgalaxy pictures are just the profile of the screen portion of the Edge model. Thats why the glass tapers like that. Look at the Six Appeal pictures and looking just at the glass portion, it looks exactly the same. The metal frame is left out on the #iamthenextgalaxy picture. Nice.
