What do you think of the Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge? Were they underrated? Was the hate justified due to the removal of so many classic features? Personally I understand why fans were mad and I think it was a good thing with the S7 bringing a lot of stuff back like expandable storage. In the very least though the S6 Edge is a gorgeous smartphone and it was fun to take a look at it so many years later. Join the discord! --- discord.io/91tech​

I did the same only I went from iPhone 4 to S3. However once I used Nexus phones and eventually Pixel phones I came to absolutely loathe Samsung’s software experience.

I remember testing the s6 when it came out in stores and was pleasantly surprised to finally see a Samsung phone perform well and not lag. The UI was also much nicer. Got the S7 next year and that ran really well as well for a while, but the phones still didn’t age too well when it came too software updates and once the battery got degraded the phone felt extremely slow. Still S6 was a good turning point and I could finally recommend Samsung phones for those that liked it’s features and still wanted a phone that performs well enough. Also had a S8 and S10 and those aged much better

S6 Edge Plus 🙋🏻‍♂️✨

I loved my S6 Edge, it had a smashed screen but still worked well

I had this phone from release for about 3 years. Still my favourite phone I have ever owned. I had the gold standard model and always loved the design and screen, people would always comment on it all the time. I dropped it in some hot water though and it was toast after that. I was surprised to find out it got so much hate, but in retrospect I can see why it did.

I love ur videos bringing oldish phone to present

Bought the edge version of this bad boy used in 128GB and used it from 2017 (put a new battery in 2018) to 2019 and loved it. Swapped it with a Pixel 3 which died so I used it again for a few months this year. Thing was awesome (it's my favorite design although I wish the back was curved too) and easily the best android phone from 2015. Battery life was subpar for a while and it definitely fell off when I used it this year. I did drop it in a toilet once on a drunk New Year's but it ended up ok since it was in a battery case. I replaced it since Google Maps and Spotify together were too intense on it in the car (didn't reset it much). I upgraded to a Pixel 4a 5G which is an outstanding phone. Also remember that 2015 was the year of Qualcomm's TERRIBLE Snapdragon 810 chips which made every other flagship android phones horrendously hot with terrible battery life.

You forgot to showcase the Gear VR!!! And yes, I am still using my s6 that I bought in 2015.

I had one, it was beautiful. Unfortunately I had the phone reception problem that many others also did. Had difficulty retaining cell connection.

I too thought the curved screens were cool looking but they were annoying with the light reflecting off those curves.

Loved the S6. Used it until late 2019. It was great, but the battery wasn't too good. The S7 may have been a great upgrade, but I got the S6 since it is lighter and I really liked that blue color.

I had one of these in gold too. Amazing device! It’s one of the prettiest looking Galaxy devices, alongside the S7 edge

i am still using this s6 edge it is very good in terms of display and normal tasks it is relatively smooth

mine s6 died years ago because of little bath on table with few splashs of Coke . however , till this day for me is still one of most beautyfull phone designs ever .

I had an S6 back in the day and loved it for the screen, fingerprint sensor, the camera and the looks. Later gave it to my mother and she has had it until last week. Got her a new mobile since she found that the battery was lasting too little, which ironically it is something that many already said at day one of ownership back in 2015... I got the S6 back to have it as a spare and good thing that long ago I bought a case with battery (which my mother never liked nor used) and now I'm sort of enjoying it so many years later. The QHD AMOLED screen is quite nice and it isn't very fast but fast enough to use with a tiny bit of patience, it still is more powerful than some low range mobiles that you can buy new today. Software certainly is outdated, Android 7 and even worst a security patch from June 18... Hard to understand a security patch that outdated in a flagship phone when the very same Samsung released last security patch for their low range tablet TAB A6 (2016) in April 2020. They gave a low range device an extra year over a flagship one, makes little sense. I installed the Nova Launcher with a modern icon pack so at least looks fresher.

I had an white 64 gb S6 and I absolutely adored it. One of my favourite phone ever and I'm not a Samsung kind of guy

At least even though Android 7 Nougat may be outdated for today, at least even today, you can still run the majority of the latest apps on it though.

Make a video about the S10plus in 2021, I have had it for about 10 months and it STILL performs very well

S6 really changed the game for Samsung, but it was hated because it removed a lot of features that Samsung had before, and bettery life was never great. It's the first ever Samsung phone that moved away from plastic and that design was just beautiful at the time. I remember that I wanted it so much but it was so expensive here and I never got it.

This is one of my favorite phones I loved how it felt in the hand, how it looked and the screen was amazing. I am thinking of picking up one just for fun and to use my Gear VR again. They go for about $60 used.

Well, I´m currently using an S7 edge (don´t like the edges neither, but the phone was for free from my grandpa) and stil this thing makes it 1 1/2 days, but coming from my grandpa tells how the battery still is so good. I´m also looking into xda for third party software upgrades, the hardware sure has quite some life left in it.

I still have the s6 Edge gold it's beautiful to look at, the right size and weight for a phone. I love the led lights to show you messages which are not on any phone in recent years.

I had both a samsung galaxy s6 and s6 active and the were both very nice phones but, I have to say samsung could have done a bit more with them. But, I loved both the s6 and the s6 active. I actually loved the old version of the phones but, it's pitty that they couldn't have upgraded to the latest versions like the iphone but, I love samsung they are fantastic and I think that they do much better today. The weird thing that I didn't know is that they had that cool green color. I had the Golden s6 and I had the white s6 active so, I think samsung also does unexpected things. But they are great. Thanks for the video man. I'm not too happy to hear that it wasn't as good as the s5 but, it's technologywise. But thanks Josh. Your videos rule man! God bless.

I replaced my bricked S6E G925A with a S20FE in 1/21. That said, I liked the camera on the G925A. Swapping batteries is difficult but not impossible. The charging port is prone to failure over time, but the daughter board is easily replaced, once the back glass is off. Good thing it has wireless charging! It is a shame that it is stuck with 7.0 OS, because some apps are no longer compatible. The above said, these things are cheap today, and still useful, especially as a spare.

I have a Note 5, which was released the same year as that. It sucks. Looks good though.

And how does the new battery work for you?

My best friend had the S6 till earlier this year and she used to love this phone. But as the time went on, she started to hate the phone more and more due to the storage not being expandable as well as the battery life (Which really was awful at the end. She managed to kill the phone in literally 15 minutes.) Personally I also hated the S6. The phone was so bad, because it removed the features you mentioned, but that's not all. If you take the same picture on the S5 and the S6, you notice, that the S5's photo looks better than the S6's. Yes, you read right. The S5 has a better camera, USB 3.0 (The S6 went back to USB 2.0) and so on. The S5 was the better phone by far in my opinion. But what I really like about the S6 (And in this regard also the S7) is the design of the phone. That's great.

Well, if you install a custom rom with good battery optimization you can actually use it as a daily driver since it's hardware can handle android 10 perfectly fine and smoothly.

It was my first flagship phone (gold platinum) back in higschool and it looked so cool at the time. I really loved the curved screen but it cracked so easily (same with the S8 lol). Got the S8 after it, and the S21U now and I would still have the S6 edge had it not been stolen. D:

Why add a feature and then take it away? Water resistance, in a prior model but not a newer one? That aside, the main reason I stray away from Samsung is due to their lack of long term support. This phone shows my point exactly. Also, my ex had one of these, maybe the "active" model? It wasn't terrible, but tended to get hot, and also screen burn-in was obvious. I could see where the notifications and keyboard sit quite clearly.

They also removed USB 3, the extra pins on the S5 were for micro USB 3.0, you could buy a 3.0 cable for faster transfers.

My uncle is still using this phone without any problem and its camera is very superb while comparing with the latest flagship phones such as Oneplus 7t,Iphone 10 etc ... High battery draining is the only problem which my uncle have faced from that phone. He owned s6 before 6 years. But i think s6 is not still outdated.❤️

I never liked the curved sides either! This year made me sooo happy when the s21 plus was released :) I missed the flat screen of my s6 sooo much, and I'm glad samsung returned to there roots giving us a choice once again!

In one year, it was practically unusable; from a charger to charger,. the RAM management was horrible, it couldn't keep any app in multitasking, and the usual Samsung lag started to get more pronounced. It is a shame because it is such a gorgeous design. The double press of the home button gon you instantly the camera which was a great feature. The photos taken were so good for the time.

My S6 kinda died today .. and a little bit of me died too! 💔 Thinking of replacing it with the A13 4G but I'm so worried I'm somehow 7 years later, going to be disappointed! 😥

I just bought a refurbished s6 from eBay for $80, and it gets delivered tomorrow. I know it's 2021, and you guys may think I'm crazy, but I'm coming from a Moto G 2021. So that's an improvement for me. Plus, it was only $80

I used to use the S6 as my secondary and it was very nice but I stopped using it when I got my iPhone 8.

I had the S6. It was my first Samsung phone. I was in desperate need of a new phone since my Nexus 5 stopped taking calls and I was planning my wedding soI just took whatever the store had in stock. Used Samsung up until the S10 but switched to Xiaomi and then to iPhone. My wife still uses the S10 and at least Samsung has increased support in recent years even if they are still far from Apple in terms of support.

im still using mine, normal s6non edge 32gb model. battery is original but its a 2.5 to 4 hours depending if you previously charged it or (cold charge). the 32gb is really whats killing it for me. System memory is at almost 9gb. otherwise its a solid phone even for today. Camera is super great (2k video 30fps)and holds against A series like a51 and A50. (i started to get camera shutdown randomly "problem accord"). if it had an expandable memory and battery i would never probably change it til 2 or 4 other years.. PS: i dont recommend getting S7 because of the screen light saber issue. just get a new A series. its gonna last alot aswell
