It's no secret that the Galaxy S5 - and many earlier models - felt like a child's toy, despite costing north of $600 unlocked. Say goodbye to cheap, flimsy plastic Samsung phones - the Galaxy S6 is here. Say goodbye to plastic - and a couple creature comforts Samsung Galaxy S6 Hardware Everything we say here can be attributed to both the S6 and S6 edge, aside from particular points where differences between the two models are pointed out.įor a good primer on these two phones, we also encourage you to read our in-depth hands-on preview where we cover many aspects of the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge in detail. Throughout this review you'll notice we refer to the Galaxy S6 as a single device. For the majority of our review period we had a Moto 360 connected to the phones over Bluetooth.

We're writing this review after about a week using the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, both 32GB models and running on T-Mobile in areas with good network coverage. We'll answer that question in our complete review. But as we all know, the competition hasn't been sitting still - do the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge have what it takes to keep Samsung in the lead?

The Galaxy S6 gets it one step closer to a complete rethinking of its device strategy, with a new hardware approach, top-notch camera experience and steps in the right direction on the software front. It became clear with the launch of the Galaxy Note 4 that Samsung was attempting to turn around its smartphone strategy - and that's a big ship to turn. Last year Samsung's complacency caught up with it, and while the Galaxy S5 was far from a flop - any company would be happy to sell half as many phones as Samsung did - it didn't exactly live up to the company's lofty expectations ( or ours, frankly), all while competition in the high-end space continued to grow. Watching the progression of Samsung's mobile device lineup the past couple of years, you got the feeling that the Korean manufacturer of everything from toaster ovens to Howitzers was content to maintain its course.
