The Super AMOLED display offers clear, crisp whites against pure blacks, meaning even dark scenes are shown off perfectly. Samsung has always had brilliant screen technology, and once again, that's the case on the Samsung Galaxy S6. It's not up there with the very best - the HTC One M9's craftsmanship puts this head and shoulders ahead of the Galaxy S6 in terms of feel in the hand - but Samsung has finally offered what we've been hankering after for years, and it's done it well. As a result the S6 doesn't even rest comfortably on the desk, with a little wobble when tapping it at work.īut don't let the above make you think this is anything other than a great phone design. Why not slightly round the rear, make it sit more nicely in the hand and improve the space for a battery? HTC does it to terrific effect on the One series, but it seems other brands are obsessed with a flat phone. In the desperation for a flat phone, the battery capacity is reduced and the camera left sticking out, exposing it to possible scratching. Though it will still set you back at least as much as the iPhone 6, it's cheaper than the Galaxy S7 and far less than the Samsung Galaxy S8.īut again, I'm left wondering what Samsung is doing here. Thankfully, as you can see above, the price of the S6 has now dropped considerably, especially if you shop around, giving it back that edge. Why the comparison? The main reason is that Samsung was finally starting to charge a higher premium than the iPhone, where traditionally the undercut has been one of its key selling points in the Apple vs Samsung debate consumers go through. The iPhone 6S has a different pricing structure, in that the 32GB option is £499 ($549, AU$929) and the 128GB model is £599 ($649, AU$1,079), making it more expensive at the bottom end, but the same or less for a 128GB model. It's dropped a fair bit now though, what with the introduction of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S8, and the 32GB variant can now be had for around £370 ($400, AU$899), the 64GB for £539 ($700, around AU$999) while the huge 128GB variant for £599 ($800, around AU$1,149) - but the latter two are not easy to find. The big issues, at least when it released, were its price and battery life: the former initially being wincingly high at the time. Perhaps the S6 is a little too similar to the rest of the competition (it looks stunningly like an iPhone at the bottom) but at least there's the Galaxy S6 Edge for those that want a really unique-looking device. Samsung didn't take this task lightly, beginning almost completely from scratch and replacing key members of its design team to make sure it created a standout phone.
