Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge
What are your guys thoughts? No waterproof certification, no removable battery and no sd card slot Was a little bit of a shock to me

Re: Samsung S6
No Edge for O2 either.
So I'll get the Note 4 instead.

Re: Samsung S6
I bet it'll be a silly price for a phone too

Re: Samsung S6
When i read the spec i was also shocked.
I am glad i took out the special offer when i did on my S5 as the same package now is almost £34 a month where i am paying £27.

Re: Samsung S6
Now I'm just annoyed I didn't buy an S5 earlier, but at least they're cheaper now.
Unfortunately the low sales made Samsung turn their flagship into just another iPhone clone to appease their shareholders

Re: Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge
I like the idea of the Edge, although its a bit gimmicky I guess. It doesn't work the same the the Note Edge.

Consider a Sony Z3 Compact, or even a Z3? I regard my Z3c in high regard. GPS/Radios are slightly inferior to a Motorola, but build quality, volume, screen, etc are outstanding, well worth a look.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge
Pre-order for £579? I bet that's the base model so I wonder how much of a premium the larger capacity phones will be. No SD slot means you either empty your wallet or look elsewhere.
I'm looking at upgrading too over the next couple of months but will also probably swerve this one and go for the M9 or wait for the LG G4.

Already have a Z3 compact. Great phone, except the poor screen resolution and poor touchscreen response. GPS is quite a bit superior to my S4, though given my S4's GPS has been completely non-functional for about 9 months that's not hard.
Also I'm in the process of suing the retailer due to the handset being faulty, but that's another story altogether.
The main reason I prefer Samsungs is because they have some built-in network diagnostics tools that are very useful for study and analytical purposes. To get similar software on other phones requires an £800 download.

I think the lack of an SD Slot will make people think twice about the S6 and it wouldnt suprise me if we saw a new varient by the end of the year.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge
I don't think it will bother most folk. With 32GB being the smallest one its plenty of space for most folk.
