Keep adding them guys, I don't have the time. Enjoy.
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
I don't know, looks like the review is rushed TBF.

Display brightness shows lower compared to S5, when

we know

that S6 has higher brightness than S5. It has already been found by Displaymate, and also hi-tech.mail.ru did display analysis. Even Samsung mentioned this, so no way I can believe that they found S5 to have higher brightness.

GSMArena mentions better speakers in S5, which is complete nuts.

[youtube]258qh9CidKA[/youtube]
[Galaxy S6 General] megagodx:
That review seems botched, I don't think their testing methodology is particularly accurate either. The S6 using similar firmware and a more energy efficient display should have achieved similar or better results as well. Either way, if this is a legitimate problem, we can see Samsung seeding an expedited "emergency" firmware patch.
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
Yeah I don't trust this review either. Need to hear from others. I am pretty sure the S6 speaker is much louder than the S5
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
The review mentioned no removable battery and no SD card like 7 times lol it felt a little tainted to be honest.
[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
I feel like that review was written before they even got their hands on the S6. They mentioned the lack of removable storage like 18 times and all the factual information presented by Samsung at the release of the S6, they seemed to find the opposite result.

Bring on Annandtech's Review!
[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
It was a rather odd review for them with constantly repeated points and some of the testing seemed strange or rather a bit off. Certainly not one of their better reviews. Interesting they just reduced the Edge to a small note at the end, as it sounds like they might not do a separate review for it.
[Galaxy S6 General] jamuk2004:
Agreed, poor review from GSM Arena.

I've begun to doubt the quality of their reviews recently and this review was just about the worst I've read yet.

It seemed to have a very negative slant, its as if they thought the readers would hate it because of the lack of microsd/not easily removal battery and wanted to side with them preemptively but didn't focus too much on the benefits those changes bring e.g. quite a bit slimmer than GS5, ultra fast storage speed, more storage size options.

As others have pointed out the camera review was also a bit lax, particular in regards to low light which is meant to be the main point of improvement over the GN4 camera.
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
As others in this thread have mentioned. Something is very wrong with parts of this review and that's not just being hopeful as someone who has a pre-order in for this phone.

Speaker volume, Screen brightness, Battery life. All seem very wrong.

They are saying that compared to the S5:

Not even 1 hour less each Web browsing and Video playback

But 10 hours less talk time?? That just doesn't add up.

They are saying close to S4 numbers for battery. That just can't be..

Yes, the S4 has a 2600mah battery close to the S6 but tech has come quite a long way since then and everything should be more efficient than that.

My guess. This is a buggy (I will mostly blame Google and their totally botched Lollipop, but some Samsung tweaks may be needed too) early device that should not have been reviewed as retail.

That might explain battery life but that still leaves speaker sound and screen brightness. Doesn't make sense.
[Galaxy S6 General] Chinmay301:
I think OnePlus 2 will beat Samsung Galaxy S6 in every aspects! :)
[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
Why?
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
Ignore him....

I think this cleverly marketed, little guy (routing for the small dog is fun) phone will be better than the best phone this year that has no competition because the generic little guys will be worse in every way but cheaper.
[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
Yes, they will only care about the price...
[Galaxy S6 General] MikeyMike01:
I'll wait for Anandtech's review.
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
Maybe..but you have to be able to buy it for that to matter lol plus with out cm building the software.. Its an uphill climb
[Galaxy S6 General] POLO_i780:
For those who didn't like GSMArena's Review, what I'm going to say is, don't raise your expectations for AnandTech's one, especially on battery life, in fact, those of you getting the S6 I say prepare to forever defend the S6 battery life, I foresee many threads WRT Screen On Time and a flood of complaints. AnandTech did mention in the Note 4 Exynos 5433 review that despite the new architecture the 5433 was quite an aggressive CPU and the same may now be true for the 7420 despite 14nm.

With a tiny 2550mAh battery and QHD display there is only so much the 14nm Exynos7420 can do to save energy, put that together with Lollipop which isn't as efficient as Google claimed, and you end up with the sort of battery results GSMArena got.

Don't hold your hopes up for AnandTech, they will be brutaly honest (I love that about them), take note how much GSMArena candy coated the GS6 Review, its an absolute cause for concern, IMO.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lympe:
I have to agree with you. Last year gsmarena gave 9.36 hours (wifi time ) for s5 and anandtech 10.2. Not a big difference.

The only thing that bothers me is that I was ready to preorder s6 but now I have to wait for other reviews ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
I personally need half a days use. I'm a heavy users but Ive wrapped my life in wireless chargers. I have 4 around my house, mycar (I drive 4 hours a day) and at work. I know I don't meet the standard user. But for me.. It should be fine
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
Few repeated things gets mentioned time and again. It has been proven multiple times that QHD is not a concern for batterylife, yet every 17sec we see someone complaining about QHD and batterylife. I am sure if you would have followed the discussion you will find ample amount of posts explaining AMOLED QHD power consumption from various reliable sources.

As for Exynos 5433, it's not same as 7420. That should be obvious to everyone. That uses more than a year old GTS scheduler as mentioned by Andrei. And it was obvious that the software stack needed to be optimized on the 5433 to make it more efficient. heck, that SOC is even running on 32-bit even though it's capable to run on 64-bit. That's just lazy or some deliberate policy from Samsung. And it might be because it wasn't sold in many countries, even the Gear VR doesn't work on Exynos Note 4 (not atleast couple of months back).

Comparing 5433 vs 7420 is doing apples vs orange. Totally different motivation and stakes are much much higher for 7420.

There is no reason to conclude anything on 7420 based on 5433. They are different SOCs, and the motivation to optimize 7420 is much much higher than 5433.
[Galaxy S6 General] POLO_i780:
I own a Note 4, I know how efficient QHD SuperAMOLED is, I get 8hours SOT daily, you don't have to tell me how efficient it is.

The efficiency of SuperAMOLED and a 14nm cannot do much though when the phone has a QHD display coupled with a tiny battery. THE VERY LEAST Samsung could have done is keep the 2800mAh battery of the S5, the S6 would have had incredible battery results with that battery, dropping battery size by 200mAh or more while throwing in more spec is going to cancel out the new super efficient CPU and screen.

I would love to see how the S6 manages when running Google Chrome for long periods, that browser will do a number on that puny 2550mAh battery, regardless of how efficient the CPU and screen are.

I dislike forbes coz I think they're kinda anti samsung but it's nice to see this

http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/03/20/samsung-galaxy-s6-and-galaxy-s6-edge-reviews/
[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
one of my favorite things about Samsung phones is the capacitive buttons. i think it's just a huge waste of screen space not having them on an Android phone. i wished more phones had them, because it basically turns your 5 inch screen into 4.5 inch, unless you're gaming or watching a video in full screen... hope Samsung continues the legacy in keeping the button on future devices.
[Galaxy S6 General] Japultra:
You can make the navigation bars smaller with a bit of customisation. Mine barely take up any screen space at all.
[Galaxy S6 General] MysteriousDiary:
True, and I think the software buttons were some of the worst ideas Google had in the past. At the moment every phone has an unused bezel at the bottom for the display drivers and ports so it makes just sense to use them for the buttons. They give vs more display space to work with, especially when the keyboard is open. The worst example is the M8 and M9 in my opinion with it's front speakers, unused black bar and additional software buttons - they push the keyboard way too far up so that it gets almost uncomfortable to use it.

Software buttons and front speaker might make sense on a tablet, but not on a phone where size still matters (imho) .
[Galaxy S6 General] meboy:
Great on a tablet. All tablets should have those two things.

But not on a phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] lopri:
Is that a serious question? You do not want to know what kind of baseband the phone comes with? :eek: I did not say it is "important," by the way. That is your imagination. (although performance of baseband has a lot of implications)

Would you be curious to know the Note 5 will come with Snapdragon or Exynos? If your answer is yes, why is it important to know?
[Galaxy S6 General] osvanberg:
Agree!
[Galaxy S6 General] lopri:
I agree. Those who never criticized other phones for lack of removable battery and sd card slot are hypocrites criticizing the S6/Edge for those reasons.
[Galaxy S6 General] yashlg97:
man are you sure that one handed mode has gone. i really found that samsung's implementation was much better than the others and was really functional as well. could you please cross-check and let me know.
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
Regarding M9 reviews, some thoughts:

I think HTC is doomed this year. Only people who will buy this phone will be HTC employees and HTC fanboys. Can't imagine how can they have less batterylife when S6 has :

has much higher resolution display

higher clocked processor (they gimped the SOC to 1.5GHz in M9 to keep it cool :rolleyes:)

and less battery capacity

One should give credit to Samsung's optimization if it has even similar batterylife.
[Galaxy S6 General] D15:
I'm absolutely puzzled by this. To be honest it's bad enough to make a phone ~3 mm thicker and still doesn't have a (much) better battery life, but then to put a smaller display in it with lower resolution and slower processor on top of that? What were they thinking?
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
My one complaint. Why the heck does the back arrow have to be on the right lol I set up my g2 the same way to try to get used to it before I get the s6. Soooo hard to get used to!
[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
I don't think we should put the blame solely on HTC for this, the main issue was caused by Qualcomm who managed to severely ruin the 810 processor. HTC was put into a tough situation as they don't have the means to use a different processor like Samsung does and essentially had their hands tied.

If HTC had used the 805 processor from last year, the tech blogs would have had a field day and HTC would have been humiliated even though the 805 would perform better, last longer and run cooler than the 810 they are using now.

So, instead they used the latest and greatest and that ends up leading them to a whole new problem. There's a reason why the rumoured M9+ is using a MediaTek CPU and Im betting it has a lot to do with the poor performance and stamina of the 810 processor.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lympe:
Back in the right is the way to go. My thumb would have been dislocated by now if it was on the left
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
It would indeed be better to use 805 instead of 810. The GPU is very good for FHD, and the CPU will be sufficient even though it's not 64bit. Yes, a few tech blogs will crib about it but normal people will hardly notice any difference. A common consumer couldn't care less about 64bit processor.

Ok, enough of OT discussion ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Japultra:
The back button is the most used button. Unless you're left-handed, having it on the bottom right is the most logical and convenient placement.

This is another reason software keys > hardware keys. You can set it on any side you want.
[Galaxy S6 General] ScottyNuttz:
Consistency from phone to phone is more important than things being in the correct position. I have a Nexus 4 and it's so frustrating when I use my wife's GS3 and the buttons are all changed around.
[Galaxy S6 General] Japultra:
Your phone is the one with the illogical button placement, not hers.

#firstworldproblems
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
Yeah. That's were I stand. It doesn't matter what they do, as long as they all do it lol. So going from phone to phone is more natural.
[Galaxy S6 General] asdfvtn:
Wouldn't having the button placement the same on all phones make every competiting phone the same?

For example, nearly all of last year's flagships would having the same 1080p, snapdragon 801, etc. The only differences would be the material of the phone and brand name. (okay, that was probably oversimplified, but I think having different button placement allows different strokes for different folks!).

Personally, after regularly using an M7, S4, iPhone 5, and a G2, I feel the power button on the back the most comfortable. Plus I really hope double tap to wake is on all phones..
[Galaxy S6 General] ombadboy:
On that note.. does the S6 have double tap to wake? I have a Nexus 9 so I tasted some double tapping sweetness and double tapping my Nexus 5 gets me infuriated..
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
No, it doesn't. That's why there is a home button on the front, which is far more convenient at least for me.
[Galaxy S6 General] asdfvtn:
Nobody mentioned it in a review so far so I'm assumption right now is that it doesn't. Luckily, the home button on the S6 makes it easy to wake the screen too though so I'm not too afraid.
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
I know the doubletap option was available within certain custom kernels for the Nexus5, but it was a real battery-muncher :) Unfortunately.

The Note4 had a very nice air-gesture where you could swipe over the top of the phone (above the screen) and the screen was activated for a quick view. If I understood correctly this air-gesture is not present on the S6...correct?
[Galaxy S6 General] Japultra:
I tried this on an S6 at the Samsung Experience store and it doesn't work. The home button should be more than sufficient though.
[Galaxy S6 General] Protagoras:
Well it might be still there, but deactivated by default. I think Samsung has said the S6 will have plenty of its gimmicky features deactivated by default so they don't bother you. If you still want them, then you can get them from the settings.
[Galaxy S6 General] sd_N:
Except being able to use it on Verizon... Lmao
[Galaxy S6 General] se1000:
I know a lot of people disagree with me, but I prefer capacitive buttons and I prefer the back button to be on the right side.

With that said, personally, I think the best would be capacitive buttons that you can choose the actions for.
[Galaxy S6 General] D15:
Why? They're much better than on-screen buttons.
[Galaxy S6 General] Fokus007:
I bet you didn't see this review guys. It's in Polish though. So translate it or not but definitely you have to check their beautiful shots of S6, they are worth seeing. ;)

[Galaxy S6 General] anewday:
Anyone find it odd that anandtech reviewed the M9 before the S6? :confused:
[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
HTC lifted it's review embargo before Samsung lifted theirs. There's really no other conclusion you can draw from one review releasing before the other.

Anand tech probably has its S6 review already completed or very close to competition and is just waiting for the go ahead to release it.
[Galaxy S6 General] ombadboy:
Do we know when the review embargo for the S6 is lifted? I know there have been a few reviews floating around but as far as I understand there is still a review embargo on the S6
[Galaxy S6 General] le_lutin:
I was looking for information on that just yesterday and couldn't find anything. I think there's an embargo on talking about the embargo!

[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
From phonearena's review I can see Samsung added back the alphabetical app sorting in the app drawer, which means that now the phone is close to perfect for me (I don't use third party launchers, due to the fact that TW has some amazing widgets which do not work on Nova. The SPlanner widget is the perfect example).
[Galaxy S6 General] equake:
I take it that the ROM is now final for production. Was this on the Edge review or on the S6 review. I noticed the battery life on the Edge was substantially more and better than the S5.
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
Both.
[Galaxy S6 General] Sachinfan:
Just came back from a nearby showroom where s6 was on display. It's absolutely stunning! Photos don't do any justice to it's build quality and that ridiculously awesome screen.

I am planning to visit the store again and carry my G3 along to see if there is any screen quality difference between the displays, though I am very well aware of the answer....

For anybody looking at buying a android flagship this year, S6 pretty much should pull you over on it's side :)

Video review from phonearena

http://youtu.be/JC8C-9F-A9I
[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
the only thing that concerns me is the long term smoothness, lets be honest, samsung phones arent known to keep speed and smoothness for a long time, thats the only concern....all the reviewers said that the phone is very smooth, but they used it for about a week not like us, we gonna use it for 2 years....
[Galaxy S6 General] Poetique:
I've never heard of a device that does keep its speed and smoothness over time. At least not so long as it's filled with crap.

That's another part of the reason I went with the 128GB variant. I know just how ****ty performance gets once you start approaching filling up the device.
[Galaxy S6 General] Szadzik:
I reboot my S5 daily and see no speed decrease over time, no idea where you got that theory from.
