The Galaxy S6 runs Android 5.0 and has the latest version of Samsung’s custom UI. This is nothing new, being a Samsung staple, but is still a great feature anyway.Īt first the software seems familiar too, but there’s plenty of new stuff as well. You can also choose whether to have your colours super-vivid or more accurate and natural. But this is quite the achievement already. It’s the sort of screen that makes you wonder: where do we go from here? Well, there are still reflections and we bet there are a few more curved screens like the S6 Edge‘s and LG G Flex 2‘s somewhere on the horizon. But only because the Samsung Galaxy S5 already has a corker of a display.īoth use Super AMOLED screens getting you flawless contrast and deep blacks regardless of whether you’re outside or frantically sending a text in the cinema before the trailers start.

Think you can? You’re probably an eagle.įunnily enough, though, the screen isn’t actually one of the Samsung Galaxy S6’s most obvious improvements.

Unless your eyes are far, far better than ours, it’s physically impossible to discern the pixels. Stretched across 5.1 inches that gets you pixel density of 577ppi. As with the LG G3, the Samsung Galaxy S6 makes the leap up to QHD screen resolution. As usual, it’s jam-packed with features including an IR transmitter, NFC, apt-X support and Wi-Fi ac. It’s disappointing when this is so clearly a money-making exercise, and it means that if you’re after a flagship Android phone with upgradeable memory you’ll want to instead look at the HTC One M9 or LG G4.īut other than that, the Samsung Galaxy S6 hardware is excellent. On contract, the upgrade to the 64GB model will cost you an extra £5 a month, and there’s even a 128GB model out there for those happy to spend a small fortune on a phone. Some people are sure to be annoyed, but then plenty will be happy with the entry-level 32GB Galaxy S6 anyway. Why would you otherwise when a 64GB microSD card cost about £20 these days? It has presumably noticed that Apple makes more than a few quid upselling people to 128GB iPhones and want a piece of the action. We’re fine with that, but Samsung has also removed the memory card slot. It’s a unibody mobile too, meaning you can’t rip off the back panel to get hold of the battery. The Samsung Galaxy S6 feels more high-end, more expensive than any phone Samsung made last year.
