on Android 5.0 brings the beauty inside. Another are as follow
Excellent camera
Quality look and feel
Wireless and fast charging

Cons:
Longtime fans will bristle at the Galaxy S6's nonremovable battery and
absent expandable storage. The phone has an intensely reflective
backing and looks embarrassingly like the iPhone 6
Battery not good enough
Price too high
Some App crashing issues
Battery life is not good
Review of Samsung Galaxy S6:
The Galaxy S6 is a big improvement on the S5, with the glass and
metal design bringing the phone up to the quality we think its price
demands. That's not to say that everything is perfect: as much as we
love the phone's metal design, its smooth, rounded corners make it
feel extremely slippery to hold, and it constantly felt like it was about to
fall out of our hand.
It doesn't help that the S6 has a glass back either, as this provides
very little purchase when you're using the phone single-handed. The
S6 Edge, on the other hand, skirts around this issue by having a
thinner, more angular frame to accommodate its curved screen,
making it much easier and more comfortable to grip. You never
thought you would miss Samsung's faux-leather back panels. The
phone's rounded edges also have the strange effect of making the S6
appear considerably fatter in your hand compared to the S6 Edge,
despite the fact the S6 is actually 0.2mm slimmer, measuring 6.8mm
compared to the 7mm on the Edge. S6 Edge feels like the more
premium product.
The S6 makes up for its small design issues with its stunning 5.1in
Super AMOLED display. With a resolution of 2,560×1,440, the phone
has the highest pixel density (577ppi) of any handset, beating the LG
G3, which has the same resolution and a larger 5.5in screen.
Samsung has finally started rolling out Android 6.0 for its current
flagship smartphones. It's taken a while to get here, but the update is
finally available to download free of charge. The interface has been
brought up-to-date with some smart new icons and more use of white
in menus, you can also switch the colour palette easily with new
themes.
S6 is flat, you won't find any of the extra features that the S6 Edge
has, such as People Edge, the Information Stream or the Night Clock.
The S6's 2,550mAh battery isn't quite as large as the Galaxy S5's
2,800mAh battery, or indeed the one in the S6 Edge, which is 50mAh
bigger.
The processor also uses ARM's big.LITTLE technology, as it has four
cores running at 2.1GHz for high-intensity tasks and another four
running at a slightly slower 1.5GHz for more low-powered jobs, which
should help save battery life when the phone doesn't need to run at
full speed. Finally, the chip is 64-bit, making the most of the 64-bit
Android 5.0 OS.
Samsung has used the same 16-megapixel camera here as in the S6
Edge. This is the same resolution as on the S5, but this time around
there's a brighter f/1.9 aperture lens, which Samsung claims lets in
34% more light than the f/2.2 lens on the S5.
Samsung no longer provides a microSD card slot for the S6, instead
relying on the phone’s internal storage only. While this may make the
handset more expensive, we can understand why Samsung has gone
down this route. Without it, Samsung can use an all-encompassing
chassis which not only makes the phone a more sturdy product.
With 32GB, 64GB and 128GB versions available you should be able
to find the version that matches your storage requirements. Just bear
in mind that the S6 Edge doesn't have a 32GB version, as the base
model starts at 64GB.
Should you buy this phone?
Looking to spend on a top-end Android phone? Then this is definitely
one of your top bets. The big issue with this phone is that it does not
have a good bait to steer you clear from the more affordable Android
phones like OnePlus One of Xiaomi Mi 4 or for that matter even the
Galaxy Note 4.
