In 2015, Samsung continued its S line with the new model Samsung Galaxy S6. With gorgeous looks and a flattened UI, is this phone good enough to face the other flagships out there?
HARDWARE
Gone are the days of plastic this company used on its phones. Starting from 2014, Samsung began using metal on the Galaxy Alpha, then on the Note 4 and Note Edge. Now, the S6 feels even more premium, because of the glass sandwich construction. It is amazing in the hand, yet it is also on the slippery slide. Be very careful when handling this phone. On the front there is a QHD Super Amoled display with a ppi of 577. The screen is amazing and the colours really pop out. On the back of the phone there is a 16 megapixel camera, capable of taking extraordinary photos. We also have a front 5 megapixel camera, with a wide angle, perfect for group selfies. Overall, the hardware screams quality and the looks of the S6 are very nice.
SOFTWARE
The latest flagship by Samsung runs Android 5.1 Lolipop with ToucWiz on top of it. As some of you may know, TouchWiz has never had an extraordinary reputation because of its laggy interface and the insane amount of features. This time, however, many things changed into good. The looks are much better, the performance has been taken to a whole new level and overall the software is much more pleasant to work with. My Magazine had been flatened, the camera app had been simplified and most apps, like Gallery, work very well and are easier to operate. Overall, this software is a pleasure to work with and most of its flaws had been fixed, resulting in a very snappy experience.
CONCLUSION
If you are looking for a premium designed phone, with a good camera, feature-full OS and running Android on top? Then you came to the right place. The S6 is arguibly one of the best Android phones of 2015.
