[Galaxy S6 General] tenxo:
Gonna drop some thoughts, pics, about the GS6...This will be very unorganized since I will just be updating the post as I discover things! [emoji4] I have a white and black 64gb.

Firstly I am coming from a galaxy S5 and have had every galaxy since the very first one. All the pics will be taken with my S5 so blame it for the quality, he he. That said...

I never understood why there was such a big push/issue over metals and all this premium build crap, then I opened the box and held the S6. The feeling... It is like looking your best in casual clothes or a suit vs your gym clothes or active wear.

The backs: The white is a nice pearl and amazing at preventing fingerprints and light reflection, I purposely tried to smudge it but couldn't.

The black is a fingerprint magnet and reflects light like a mirror (the front is not bad at all since it's mostly screen) I tried avoiding but they will show.View attachment 3236436

Some little things: The charger is similar to the standard S5 etc. charger but, has a little lighting sign on it to signify fast charging. The usb cords though are about 12 inches shorter than that of the S5, seems to be about 4 feet long. The usb is thinner too, mainly cause the S5 one I'm used to had the 3.0 built in. The shorter usb sucks for those times you want to use it while charging.

The back is way more slippery, than the S5, will take some getting used too! I do not use cases.

Update: I was so against cases, but this phone is very, very slippery, esp. if your using it a bit and the back warms up, makes you fingers sweat/moist. I took it to the zoo the other day, clear skies, mild breeze, about 65 degrees out, so not humid at all. While taking pics I was very worried I would drop it if handling it with one hand (again slippery and thin). As soon as I got home ordered a Ringke clear case (which is amazing I might add), and now the user experience feels much better because I don't have that fear now of it slipping out my hand. My last 7-8 phones I was 100% against and never used a case, hope that is saying something about the slippery-ness of this phone.

First power on, battery dropped 5% just going through the setup screens. I know this is probably nothing.

Out of box storage 54.31gb, nothing setup or installed.

For those wondering the nano SIM comes in the box, I haven't inserted it yet.

Tried to show how much tilt the camera created, may be hard to see but the camera lens is way off the surface (a good thing to me!)

The camera area and the heart rate monitor has a film of plastic over them. The camera one has the lens cut out as usual, but the one over the heart rate monitor I would remove so it doesn't affect the sensor.

Fingerprint: This thing so much better than the swipe method. It allows for 4 fingers to be set up, I did each thumb twice. I set it up right away and only on one instance did it not work, and that was after letting someone try their finger first to show how it worked. Even with a damp hand after washing it worked, which always caused my swipe on the S5 to fail.

Home Screen: The wallpaper does this little floating thing when you tilt the phone any direction. Its very subtle but noticeable.

Update: The tmobile update put it to lollipop 5.02

Samsung: No more micro Sd slot.

Me: No problem! Usb OTG cable $2.99, usb micro sd reader $4.99, in goes my 64 micro sd card[emoji106] This is very small and pocketable for say a long trip or vacation were you may want extra storage space. Best part is now swapping cards is even faster, carry 2 or 3 micros in you pocket. #Microcenter

I now feel that the lack of sd card is a big non-issue in fact I feel happy about it because we gained from this loss...with the sd under the cover we would/should have to power off, remove cover, swap card, power on, wait for boot. Now, plug in OTG 5 secs later file explore automatically opens (sort of like Windows pc) full access, and it's mass storage not slow MTP. Pull notification down, unmount/eject pull cable out 5 sec. So it is much faster and plug-n-play! Bam! now im rocking ~114GB for less than 10 bucks of adapters.

S Voice: usually one of the first things I disable, but this new one is sweet. You can set it to always listening and it actually works great. You choose your own phrase, mine is "yo galaxy" then tell it what you want to do...Do this like your telling someone to do something without pausing in your natural speaking speed. i.e. you don't have to wait like Google now for the beep that its ready, which makes Svoice nicer. So for example with the screen of and fingerprint protected I say---"Yo galaxy set an alarm for 30 minutes from now" and she sets it and tells you the time it will go off. The screen doesn't turn on during this, just a little 3-4 mm speech bar bout the size of the edge notifications. Summary: Svoice may see more use from Google now from me!
