m86k, 14 Mar 2015Well, your logic is bad if you compare details of S6, G3 and S5 for example. G3 got 50% mor... moreNope...

But hey, its good of you to compare it to lg g3, the worst batterlife flag of 2014...

It s equivalent or worse in batterylife to iphones, my friend ditched iphone cause that batterlife really annoyed him, in 1 year time he had to charge twice in a day...

So...enjoy your wannabe iphone. Galaxy S6

Mico05, 14 Mar 20152014 flagship s5 has more advantages over the 2015 flagship s6 micro sd cardslot removable... moreS6 has better screen, cpu, more ram , fast charging, wireless charging built in. Lack of micro sd, removable battery and ip67 rating is not a problem at all, At least not for most. Camera has improved significantly.

1. Can the stock camera app shoot in RAW?
2. Can someone confirm that full-disk encryption is off by default?
2. Can we disable Quick Connect and S-Finder from the notification slider (w/o root)?
3. Is there a way to disable immersive mode (full-screen) on stock apps like Calculator and S-Planner?
4. Can you re-run the browser tests to include the stock Samsung browser? The iPhone 6 has proprietary optimizations too.
5. This is a non-final build and the battery life should hopefully improve on the release build. Please update the review when it's released.
6. What's the standby time like? How much % battery does it lose overnight?
6. The low speaker loudness is concerning. But on YouTube, I saw a video comparing the S5 vs. S6, and the S6 was definitely louder.
7. Under direct sunlight, the brightness increases when in auto-brightness mode to 542-784 nits, according to DisplayMate. So shouldn't the sunlight contrast ratio be calculated with auto-brightness mode turned on?

I am also interested in how it compares to the iPhone 6/6+ re:
1. Touch latency
2. Audio latency
3. Storage speed, with h/w encryption
4. Booting and rebooting time

G3 got 50% more talking time than S6. And S6 with a more powerful cpu is far better in web browsing test.

So you can shorten your sentence to only "bad optimisations" and remove that 2K screen part from your equation for now.

i'm disappointed with samsung for this s6's bad battery life result, and non removable also no micro sd card slot.

and i also believe lg will put a better and bigger battery on it's g4 because that was once one big issue they had faced from g3.

Pretty much standard/conventional shapes of phones/frames have been covered during the last decade, so it's time to grow up and stop with this childish who copied who stuff. Just like cars industry has moved on for example.

Or we'll see with final units : if Exynos chipset is worse in energy consumption for communications compared to Qualcomm Snapdragon's, that would explain endurance details.

Ouuuchhh, the battery life, unremovable, and gone the lg g3 way..., sooo dissapointing
Sound blah, dissapointing...
camera excellent but not as awe inspiringly good as expected from the whitepaper,
Graphic performance, emm, good but not as expected, I expected it to beat iphone, but blh...
And...the price, oh that price...

So...No thanks.
Even if I were a sammy fan, which I am hapilly not, would not even consider it...

1701, 14 Mar 2015I can write up a long comment which and explain to you that everything you mentioned is false.... moreSir, read again my comment. Does it seem bashing and trolling? Anyway, okay, i will dare you to please write a comment expaining why my comment is false. And why are you pushing it copied m8, m7 and ativ where in fact those design were used long before iPod Touch iPad mini and Air and the original iPhone? Now look at the note 4 and alpha's frame, doesnt it copy iPhone 5? After all, if thats what you think, then fine..at the end of the year S6 will just be left out in the dust by samsung without support and update (if there is, it will only crack with bugs, look at what happend with S5 after lollipop). Goodluck buying S6. Thank you.

Speran49, 14 Mar 2015Worthless negative comment that provides nothing! Hahahaha comment fail.He is right but, the S6 has no IP, no micro SD card, no removable battery, poor battery life and is looking more like an iPhone.

I love my Note 4 but Samsung is heading for a massive fail trying to create another iphone.... we want more features not less Samsung!
