+Nawnp MCPE Not really the nano does not really save that much space in modern phones and the data on the chip is the exact same! It only makes the phone have more overall space by about 2% compared to using a Micro Sim!

Darth Awar I know size isn't that much an issue anyways, what I said was future support so that if you change phones with nano sim to nano sim is better then micro to nano. As far as size is, it doesn't make much a difference on any smartphone, maybe size is a factor on a cellular smart watch?

I have all black, true plus facts that they made it just like the iPhone 6 except better just to show that they "got it like that".
I always felt like the S5, even though it's freaking ugly, wins for me. Because it's waterproof so I don't have to worry about it getting wet, it has SD expansion which I don't have to worry abut saving space, and it has a longer lasting battery. Those factors sadly makes it look like I should get an S5, but I want the S6 :(
Michael's videos just keep improving- keeps me a fan of pocketnow
I really liked how you ended the comparison with describing those two situations at the end of the video!
Non-removable glass back, no SD card, no waterproofing or dustproofing... They wanted to make it more like an iPhone, so they adopted the iPhone's worst features.

Darth Awar Well, I'm using an S5. And after my 2 years are up, I'll probably go to LG if Samsung doesn't get its shit together.
I'm glad you don't disable the comments like other reviewers. I know their are lots of trolls but you also get real questions from people who respect you and pocket now. So thanks again. I still love my note 4 but the s6 and s6 active are very nice.
We need to get Pocketnow past the 1 Million sub mark peoples. Excellent review as always Michael. Love ur radio voice.
As always, great comparison review, thanks.
Fantastic review. You guys rock! Thank you.
Under 301 club! Also, great comparison Michael. So interesting to see the differences between these phones.
I don't understand why people care so much about design. I mean, when I buy a phone I don't buy it because it's fucking pretty, I buy it because of the specs, because of the features, because of what it can do. The S5 is a very good phone, I had my 4G+ version for a month now and I coudn't be more satisfied. Oh and In my humble opinion If you already have a S5 don't go for the S6, it looses a lot of features and It's not worth the upgrade.

Although I do like the design of the new S6, I don't see why they didn't make the sides look like the Note 4? The square design is easier to hold on, AND the Apple Lemmings wouldn't have called it a copycat of the iPhone's design. It didn't seem like a wise choice to me.

ok i have to say this,this guy has the best voice for reviewing phone,love then he does the reviews i alway understand clearly
I like your comparison between this 2 phones very understandable ..keep up the good work 👍
I like my S6. For waterproofing and expandable memory there's cases for that but I think they come in either or. I dunno if they have all extra battery life, water resistive, and expandable memory in one case. That's really nice about the S5 but I love the camera on the S6. I'm a bit of a photo bug.
hows the experience with the theme you are using on s6? and u did nt touch the software.. hows touchwiz with 40% less bloatware..

I'm hoping to upgrade to the s6 soon and I'm truly excited about it, I really think samsung hit it out of the park with this phone!

Where can I get that weather widget shown in the beginning?
S5 isn't too bad, I'm using one myself, with a 64gb SD card, but right now I'm not gonna upgrade to the S6 just do to the fact there's no SD card slot, they couldn't do what Sony did and add it too the side?
Awesome comparison. Oh yeah, It's M. Fisher.
WOW this Channel is getting better and better, Unlike the other biased channels.. you guys really stick the the beauty of Android phones. Great job guys.
I've had my S5 for a year now and I really like this phone. It's my first android after using iPhone for a few years. The plastic faux metal sides and the 'Glam' back I really don't like haha but other than that I feel fine waiting to see what Note 5, and apple will offer later this year..
I want to know how battery life is on the galaxy S6 considering mixed daily usage gaming browsing videos ?I am not sure whether to get s6 or s5 I am currently on note 2
Great Review again Michael.
Your reviews are Amazing
which one is better , galaxy s5 or galaxy s6? I like both of them but , its hard to choose which one to get.
Nice video! Can anybody tell me what blueprint tablecloth they are using. It would be cool for a study table.
does the S6 have double tap to turn on and double tap to put in stanby? thats really the only feature i find important? which has that
Could you make a video that'll help me decide whether to get the s6 or the s6 edge
I don't understand 4k video. It is only 2160 lines. How do they get the 4k. You figure it would be a 4320 resolution at 4k.
Which phone battery life lasts longer the Samsung s5 or the Samsung s6 ?
stunning comparison i have ever seen
Hello everyone! I want to buy either the S5 or S6. The problem is that I can't decide which one to buy! Both phones seem great to me. I had a lenovo A6000 till now lol. The S6 seems to have the edge because it has 3gb of RAM and newer OS but I don't like the fact that its battery can't be removed. Could you please help me decide?
How can you download or bring that avengers theme in the Galaxy S4?? I love it, it's awesome Pocketnow 😍
So does any one know why they removed the interchangeable back cover on the s6?
is it good if i get a samsung S5 in 2017?
i cant decided if i want to upgrade or not. i love the waterproof and expandable memory feature so much but the s6 is so nice and thin and my s5 cant run lollipop without constantly crashing
1.37 What is the theme of the Samsung Galaxy s6 ?
Whats the battery life like on a daily regular usage on the s6
Wich theme are u using?
internet people, what should i pick? s5 or s6? i like s5 for its durability and long battery life and memory card s6 however is pretty and better performance from what i know i have a lifestyle which i do a lot of youtube and play games on phone while using other applications, im also clumsy what do you reccomend?
Whats the widget app you're using ????
can you please do a comparison between the s6 and note 4 :)

not really sure if i wanna switch from my s5... i cant switch battries...
The Galaxy S 5 on the Sprint Network already offered enhanced LTE FYI
Why do the US versions of the S6 have Galaxy S6 on the back? Because my European one doesn't.
So does anyone know what that Star Trek app was that he was using?
You should do a Galaxy S6 versus a Galaxy Note 4 video Pocketnow
In Jan 2016 I went for the S5 instead of the s6/7, removable battery is what I prefer over ram and processor power
the s5 is mhl supported too. one of the newest phones with it. meaning I can watch showbox str8 from my phone to tv with an mhl cord
So no comparison between processors and speed???
When's the s6 active supposed to drop?
I love design, I have always usually been an Iphone user, I think the feel and look of the phone is just as important as the hardware itself. I got the gold platinum version s6 and expect it in tomorrow. As a user of both android and IOS, I think it's good to swap now and again, and now that samsung are taking notice of quality rather than the usual plastic stuff It makes my purchase so much more worth it.
I use now the galaxy s5 for a long time. Samsung devices face a camera deamon bug and they still have not fixed that bug, Software updates are so poor and you have 0 response. You must restart again and again your device to use the camera or uninstall apps like viber, skype for a flagship this is a shame and other galaxy models face the same battery drain problem

S5 !!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
and price??? to me that is a big one
Even if I could afford it, I would go with the S5 without a doubt. Both are available on Boost Mobile which I have and I have the Samsung Prevail LTE and its like an mini S5, so what does that tell you about the phone that I prefer, If it doesn't have a removable battery and SD card slot support, I'll pass. IP67 certified I don't care about because I have have it near a toilet or puddle anyway even though with the S5, the feature is there just in case and for most, just in case, its a good feature to have. At least I can put stuff to an SD card to save space and swap out a battery when it doesn't hold a charge anymore and keep the phone until it breaks or I change carriers and forced to change phones anyway.
What Samsung Galaxy S5 has 3GB of RAM ?
S5 or Z3 compact?
The S6 would be perfect if it had leather or some other form of matte back. I may or may not get it, I wanted to try iphone but it'll be my first smart phone in ages so I think I should go for something more affordable...maybe I'll get the s5 and wait for the s7 or third iphone iteration after iphone 6 idk
What's that launcher on the s5?
I am torn with deciding to get the S5 for its durability in the weather, or S6 for its simply beautiful construction and appearance......I do like camping and outdoor stuff so I am leaning towards the S5 so I don't have to take sandwich baggies for my phone. Already have to do that for the wallet.
I want to get my first phone since I'm moving to middle school and I din't want the S4 because it is too outdated and I did't want to get an S7 because of how expensive it is and I'm not a big fan of the design. So I have the option between S5 and S6. Any suggestions?

What would you say: S5 or s6?
Everyone wants a removable back AND a glass/premium quality phone so I think Samsung should put the battery on the side of the phone. They could put a latch kind of like the waterproofing hatch in front of the charging port on the s5, but a lot bigger and for a battery
I love this guy great reviews and I have the galaxy S5 and I love it but the S6 does look pretty lol

Commandosoap777 have you tried using a s6? the internal storage speed is basically much faster than conventional ones, yeah that includes class 10 sd cards. Personally I never used a external sd and never removed my battery. So for me it's a great upgrade.
You should've updated the galaxy s5 to lollipop before comparing knowing the update for android 5.0 has been out for some time now
how about S6 vs S5 Plus?
Damn!!! I miss the bloopers at the final of the videos :(
I am still stuck with the Galaxy S3, and don't know which to choose. Both have features the other would be better with. It's like COD: AW and Ghost. Maybe Samsung takes what users like and dislike and create a much better device. I don't take many pictures, so 32GB is plenty of storage. The main issue would be the battery life, in my opinion. The S5 being water/dust proof is an advantage, but then again, I am pretty good with taking care of my things.
