1. You have a custom ROM, which means untested, unverified, and cannot be taken as an example here.

2. Do you not reboot your PC every few days? What happens to it if you do not?

3. I use Tasker to reboot it on a schedule, come on, we are in 2015, no one does it manually.
[Galaxy S6 General] maxpayn02:
Did you know that the S6 has trigger command " hey galaxy " or any phrase u like just like the moto x ? Cool huh
[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
1. i tried many custom and stock roms, they all the same...even cm12 starts lagging after a while

2.i dont reboot my laptop, maybe once in a week

3.its not about you rebooting it or an app rebooting it, go check HTC phones, they keep there speed for a longer period...i am using galaxy devices for 3 years now, S2 and S4 and they are both flagships...and its always the same...
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
Yeah. I hope they did some work on svoice. Otherwise it will be, hey galaxy, launch google now, OK Google, what time is it.. Lol
[Galaxy S6 General] Szadzik:
What methods do you use to measure speed decerase over time? To me it sounds like just a personal feeling, not a fact.
[Galaxy S6 General] maxpayn02:
I totally forget about the s voice , but u could disable it so maybe that would lunch google now instead

Mashable S6 review :

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is the Android phone of the year

http://http://mashable.com/2015/03/28/samsung-galaxy-s6-review/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link
[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
i dont use benchmarks, its all in the daily use, when i wanna switch between apps through the recent apps screen there is a bit of lag, there is some lag when you drag the notification panel down....
[Galaxy S6 General] D15:
I had the S3 and S4. The S3 did take a performance hit after a year year and a half, but my S4 is still great till today (never rooted it or installed any custom ROM on it). There was a slight lag when I first used it and it hasn't got noticeably worse till now which I'm very impressed about.
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
So, I went down to my local best buy to get a hands on. First, omfg the screen on the edge is the most amazing screen I've ever seen. The way it wraps around is just stunning!! That said, the in hand feel of the s6 was much better. I've already seen all the reviews so I decided to give this svoice a go instead of focusing on the already determine features. We all know the camera and screen are amazing and the build quality is superb.

So to svoice. I was able to use any phrase I wanted. Pretty cool. I had it set to "hello" and bam phone awakes awaiting command. Tested out basic commands like, time, weather, call xxx and text xxx. Worked fast and smooth.

Side note. How do these people at best buy stay employed lol. While I was there s guy asked the best buy guy what the differences where between the s5 and s6. His response was a bigger battery and larger camera. Omg lol I couldn't help but chime in and set him strait. I almost took his blue shirt away! =)
[Galaxy S6 General] barondebxl:
had my hands on the S6 edge today and its a very nice looking phone, the display is just incredible and performance is top notch. Compared it in store with the note 4 and it smoked it big time. Made the note4 look like crap with that older touchwiz UI.
[Galaxy S6 General] omersak:
Are you being tempted again? The new software should make its way to the Note 4 too, right?
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
Should is the key word. In theory - yes. In practice, knowing Samsung and their rather poor updates, Note 4 users will wait quite a bit before receiving anything.
[Galaxy S6 General] tmac31:
there isnt really much difference with exynos note 4 lollipop i doubt software improved alot still slow gallery. biggest improvement is only on multitasking button lag. even camera launchs almost identical.
[Galaxy S6 General] CLARiiON:
OT: How do you manage to buy/sell so many devices? I am assuming if you sell your previous phones, you are getting decent prices.
[Galaxy S6 General] surf1:
Been rooting and romin for years back to the S2, no problem with slowdown or lagging on roms. Been running DynamicKat (not even updated version) since last summer on my S5, just as slick and smooth and fast as it was when I flashed it.
[Galaxy S6 General] barondebxl:
Exactly that

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

"you doubt". i had my hands on. The S6 is noticeably snappier. The new touchwiz makes the old one look disgusting IMO.
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
I 100% agree. I played with the s6 for about an hour today. There was a note 4 next to it. The s6 was noticeable smother. The note didn't lag..but you could see the fps drop in animations.
[Galaxy S6 General] barondebxl:
Exactly.
[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
i dont know, its not a secret that TW lags after a while, i wish that the galaxy s6 doesnt lag, because i am thinking of getting one in two weeks.....
[Galaxy S6 General] dondavis007:
Somehow I wish that Sammy didn't go for Super high resolution using an arm gpu. My Note 4 is lagging after a while playing chappy games like the hobbit and I imagine that because of the screen in combination with throttling. I normally use the iPhone or Nexus 5 playing because I hate the slowdowns, otherwise a good phone.

[Galaxy S6 General] tmac31:
which old touchwiz? kitkat version yes there is no doubt. but new lollipop on my exynos note 4 has pretty much same speed. i tried with 4 s6/s6 edge devces too. even camera launch speed is very similar.

it could be about you tried with snapdragon note 4 cuz my sd edge is definetly slower and laggier than my exynos note 4.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mithrandir007:
That doesn't make sense.

You're saying Galaxy phones are slower than HTC phones.. though most of the hardware is common.

The slowing down after a while is because of all the crap you install on it, that runs in the background, etc.. it has nothing to do with hardware.

Yet you just said that even CM12 starts lagging after a while, which has nothing to do with Touchwiz.

CM12 would start lagging the same way on an HTC device.

Also, the S5 was a big improvement on speed, it still has a few lags here and there (though they are rare now), but it's already very snappy, and even when I left the same rom on the device for 4 months, sometimes not restarting the phone for weeks, it was still not laggy.

So I have a good feeling about the S6 speedwise when you factor in the new UFS 2.0 storage, 3GB DDR4 and very fast CPU, in addition to a lighter TW on Lollipop.

[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
i dont know whats causing these lags, probably bad optimization, TW wasnt optimized for old galaxy's as the S6, this seems the reason for these random lags, its why cm12 starts to lag after a week too, dont get me wrong, i am not a samsung hater, in fact i said i am thinking of getting the S6...but i just hope i dont get disappointed after couple of months...
[Galaxy S6 General] dondavis007:
Samsung is like a technician trying to squash a bad Web app. Instead of locking att the code Sammy do the good old trick, whack on more, faster and more optimized hardware. The problem with that approach is that sooner or later you cross the thin red line, for a greater amount of cash.

Will the international units of the phone ship with that logo (galaxy s6) at the back as well? I thought it was only for the US market. I really, really don't like it.
[Galaxy S6 General] il buono:
Pretty sure it's only for the U.S. Market. The international version only has the Samsung logo on the back.

Sent from my iP6+
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
Hope you are right, because that logo at the back is painful to watch.

From GSMA's comparison of the S6 and M9 we can conclude that the Samsung is basically better in every single aspect except audio quality (both headphones and speakers). Good job htc.... yet another disappointment.
[Galaxy S6 General] i9100g user:
I'll just leave this here:

Design:Subjecive (GSMA chose S6 though , the irony)

Display:S6 (i think even htc die hard fans will agree on this)

Battery life :S6 (look up gsm arena comparison)

UI: Subjecive (GSMA chose S6 again!:p)

CPU:S6 (M9 either overheats or throttles)

GPU:tie (on screen) (thanks to QHD and no Gfx Benchmark does not simulate real world gaming performance as seen with exynos Note 4 and other snapdragon devices)

Storage perf:S6

Sound:M9 (even then i would say headphones should sound better on s6 with mods,as historically seen on exynos devices ,also S6 speaker is louder according to GSMA but not clearer)

Camera:S6 (overall camera performance )

:silly:

IMO i'd rather get M8 over M9.

With that said there are those who would get M9 and that's fine as everyone has different tastes but again imo the above advantages are far too much for s6.

Hopefully i will not get attacked by some fanatic for just expressing my opinion :rolleyes:

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s6-1285636/review
[Galaxy S6 General] Mithrandir007:
Ok, I understand your point.

I just don't think CM12 lagging after a week has anything to do with the hardware in this case.

Also, I can already tell you that my S5 doesn't slow down even after months of usage (and weeks without even rebooting the phone).

I changed ROM recently, but the previous one I kept for at least 4 months with no issue (first time I keep a ROM this long :) ).

So if the S5 is already stable, I think the S6 will be even better with all the hardware improvements (especially the UFS 2.0 + 3GB DDR4, the storage speed is very important, see how much SSDs improved the performances of PCs).

WSJ Review

---------- Post added at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

In my brief hands on at the sprint store with device, I felt the lag had much improved compared to my old S4, but traces of it are present here and there. The colors are as rich as they were previously, perhaps too rich for my taste, though, thankfully they can easily be tuned down from the default adaptive display setting. I currently have a nexus 5 and have been trying to justify buying a new phone. And after trying the phone in person, I have to agree the edge is cool to look at, though feels uncomfortable in my hands with sharper feeling "edges" compared with it's sibling.
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
Damn the WSJ review is BS. Apple fanboys should not be allowed to review stuff - their bisasness can be seen from miles.

Just for records, listing the WSJ review. Nothing worthwhile in these. Most reviews are waste, shame that only a few credible reviews are left in business.

Only when you read the title you are immediately put off reading the rest of the so called "review" (which is more of a: Samsung copied Apple and Apple are still better. Oh and the author felt the urge of telling us that she will keep hers i6. Still processing how is this any relevant to the review though).

Even the note 4 is a much better phone than both ip6's maybe if they compared them to last year's phones yeah sure why not lol

I wouldn't say it is much better. From my experience, both the Note 4 and 6+ are evenly matched when it comes to photo quality. In regards to video recording, I'd lean towards the Note 4.

Sent from my iP6+
[Galaxy S6 General] avenging:
I'm not just talking about the camera (note 4 consistently wins in blind camera tests) but simply putting the phones side by side and just looking at the display. The 6 plus screen cannot touch the note 4 screen (especially when we play contest of champions the animation just pops better)
[Galaxy S6 General] il buono:
Wow I'm such an idiot. For some reason I thought I was in the camera discussion thread. I agree with you that the Note 4 is the better overall device. When it comes to displays, I have no preference between FHD and QHD, but the colors produced by the Note 4's amoled panel are definitely amazing.

I don't mind the carrier branding as much as some people do, but Verizon (specifically) just takes it over the top. If it just had "Verizon"... No problem. I'll even take that and the check mark. But no, they had to go completely over the top with the 3 levels/lines of branding and add " 4G LTE" as well. Just terrible....
[Galaxy S6 General] Poetique:
Yeah it's irritating that AT&T had to brand it at all, but Verizon is by FAR the worst culprit for this device. Their branding is excessive and hideous.

Shame the Note 4 loses out so badly in actual design & materials. Let's not mention the TW version used on it, thank heck Samsung have seen the light in that respect.

My exynos note 4 with lollipop is way smoother ang lag free then my 6+ on ios 8.2. And ipad air it was always troubled with lag since it launched.
