what's going on everyone John Breton TechnoBuffalo here at the four of you for you of the latest flagship from Samsung this is the galaxy s6 and in a lot of ways it is a brand new step forward for the company but is it worth your smart phone buying buck let's go ahead and decide so before I go in to do the full review let me give a disclaimer as I always do this device was used for five and a half days on t-mobile it's a t-mobile brand in unit most of this review also is going to apply to the galaxy s6 edge we've got a separate review for that if you want to check it out we'll link to it down below I'm gonna end this by giving it a score and a buy not buy recommendation plus something we've never done before lightning round where we just asked answered a lot of questions you guys had about the device and really fit into any sections so I'm gonna hit up the big three about the galaxy s6 right away screen build and TouchWiz then we'll get into the other categories there this is hands-down the best screen I have ever seen on a phone ever and I've tested pretty much every phone that's come out over the past five years so I think that's saying a lot colours look bright things like natural blacks are really black it's got pretty good outside visibility it's got good viewing angles there's been some complaints of overexposure but that's actually more on touch whizzes aside I totally get qhg now I never really did before I don't know if it's a 2560 by 1440 screen or just whatever wizardry Samsung's packed inside of this thing but it looks absolutely incredible I've been really rough on Samsung's build for seemingly as long as I've been reviewing phones it seemed like they designed one device for a few years then just built different versions of the exact same phone different sizes this time around though they absolutely nailed it aluminium edges on the side look and feel great obviously there are some glass concerns it is Gorilla Glass 4 on the front and back so you know if you drop it you could read some issues but from where the phone feels where the phone looks and looks and feels really nice not although is rosy and wonderful the gigantic galaxy s6 on the back is a little bit much it doesn't many carrier branding on it through at least on t-mobile variant samsung finally has a phone that matches the premium specs that's got on the inside I think that's saying a lot not a big fan of that camera hump on the back it's really pronounced I'll talk a little bit more about that in the camera section and indeed lightning round and the bottom of the phone also looks nice but let's just say looks familiar so to say I've been hard on Tetris throughout the years would be just a gigantic gross understatement admittedly I'm not the biggest TouchWiz fan you can dispute the usefulness of TouchWiz Samsung really since the galaxy s3 has taken the software approach to just throw everything at you and hope that you like a few of the tweaks so you really can't call it a skin anymore it's almost a straight brand new carrier version of Android and it's straight TouchWiz through and through this version tries so hard to break from the tradition but can't quite give up all of its old habits The Annoying beanies pops and water droplets are pretty much gone which is really really welcoming obviously you can disable in the settings but right out of the bat it's nice to not have to go through and be like stop sounding like waters falling on my phone here another knock that I had on TouchWiz was there was just the ridiculous amount of Samsung Apps it's now 40% lighter and you can disable most unwanted app which is quite nice not delete them though as previously has been reported it still retains some of the cartoonish icons but Samsung left again mosa blowed out a theming engine is now built right in which is a nice touch to have of note though the theme still work on third-party launchers at least partly you'll see them in notifications pull down and the setting screen a lot of people had asked about that so the moral here for TouchWiz it's finally grown-up and doesn't detract from the experience although it really doesn't add too much either that's when the best things I've been able to say about TouchWiz in years I will display know that I did run noble launch on here through most of this review a lot of fuss has been made about Samsung ditching and replaceable battery if you're the kind of user and ask yourself this question very seriously who actually carried a spare battery or two you're going to be disappointed with battery life the 2550 million power battery is not great it's not attrocious but not overly awesome either my normal daily usage job getting dumped around 20% or lower my usage was relatively light I think compared to a lot of power users but obviously everybody usage you're going to vary so we did a battery drink test for you only got about six and a half hours of screen on time when playing HD video with no volume and brightness set to auto a few caveats here it does charge though ridiculously fast I went from 22% to almost 80% in 40 minutes when it was plugged in a wireless charging is also built-in with pretty much every standard available which is a nice touch reading a few percentages when you have a charging pad to put it on but if you're out and about out with your friends and you're not near an outlet or wireless charger you're gonna need to probably monitor battery life especially if you are a heavier phone user all right let's jump into camera a lot of you use your cameras as your only camera when you're out and about I know I do it's delivers really good results outdoors looked awesome low noise excellent exposure and pretty stellar image quality colors were accurate and detail is kept even when zooming in so yay for 16 megapixels results so were a little bit different in low-light they were just okay kind of warm but definitely on the better side of what we've tested the front-facing camera is also pretty solid too if you want to see galleries in more detail get hit the link down below to go to the full written review where facing camera is also nice now super wide so you can get all your friends and we want to take that selfie no sylphy stick required to dig and eek remain intact I should also mention a 4k video capability is built-in I lack an expandable storage is also an issue for some this one is a bit hard to overlook at least for me then removable battery inside never carry Google batteries anyway I know the argument is that it's faster without having to read a card and all that kind of stuff well the Samsung has always been about choice and that choice is now taken away from you replaced with a larger out-of-the-box built-in memory of 32 64 128 gig variants personally no micro SD card doesn't really bother me but if you're the card swapping type you need to seriously consider if you can live without that feature the Galaxy s6 is also the first time we've seen the XE nose in the US which is essentially two quad-core processors merge together and make it ridiculously fast octa-core processor and it is ridiculously fast let me reiterate this point there is no lag at all you've got eight cores couple of three gigabytes of RAM everything is buttery smooth but don't lick my word for it because I know you folks love benchmarks in two to five point two six two got a sixty seven thousand four fifty five and quadrants got a thirty six thousand eight hundred and eighty six so pretty good scores there too we're gonna wrap this free well for the new segment random facts the some things that you wanted to know the generally fit into any category so I like to think of this kind of a lightning round a speaker is way better now it's not facing on the rear in call volume was a little bit lower than kind of would have been used to in the past even with the camera hump it won't wobble on a table when put down flat this one was a big deal for me you can charge wirelessly even when powered off looking at you next to six the finger per weird unlock is now way better in previous iterations and maybe even more so by an over-the-air update that t-mobile had so moral being is very usable I will say it got noticeably warmer specially by at the camera when using you especially when watching videos the screen also seems to be relatively fingerprint-resistant I didn't get sort of giant gross fingerprints on it and on the back as well but maybe because we had the white version here kind of an odd thing to about the OS if you had the fingerprint sensor enabled you doesn't work the reason you want to put in the passport it's not a simple pin code oh yeah and I should do a series of letters and a number in there just a little bit annoying so bear that in mind another oddity get turning on in my pocket I don't know why I did it but it did so what is the verdict here I evaluate all phones based on if I could use them for two years and I can unequivocally say I could use this and I would happily use this phone for two years this is a phone that not just Android or Samsung fans we're gonna love it's a device that everyone can love and appreciate some of you don't need a removable battery or SD card it gets a very solid 9 on a techno buffalo scale and an equally solid buy recommendation so what do
