With the Samsung Galaxy S6 out on the market, it’s clear that the company is going to remain very active in the smartphone game and they will keep pushing their ideas forward. The Galaxy line has seen various improvements over the years and it’s currently probably the most recognizable line of phones on the Android market. They are generally not cheap, but the improvements with each new version typically justify the price for most people. And yet, there have been some discussions about the newest Galaxy S6 lately, with various people claiming that it was somewhat questionable if the device was worth the new price.
For the most part, the S6 is a solid flagship with a lot to offer to those looking for a phone with good entertainment qualities and a smooth Android experience, but at the same time the upgrade from the S5 was not as dramatic as people were hoping, and the device was slightly underwhelming to some potential buyers. There have been lots of discussions about this and whether or not the S6 justifies its price, and while most fans of the company have been positive, there are also those who have been talking about the new phone with a bit of skepticism.
The hardware quality of the S6 is quite good, and the phone does offer a lot for its asking price. It’s capable of handling various heavier apps with ease, and it has the same kind of smooth Android experience that people have come to expect from the line. Samsung are obviously nor cutting any corners here, looking at all the details from the screen to the processor and RAM. The upgrade from the S5 is pretty strong overall, although some comments have pointed out that some of the company’s fans were expecting more.
Software-wise, there’s not much to say – the phone still features Samsung’s classic changes to the interface, something that has always been a “love it or hate it” situation with fans. Some people strongly dislike the changes that the company makes to the core Android experience, but at the same time this is an Android device, so it’s trivial to customize the software and most people familiar with the operating system are aware of that.
Comparisons with the S5 have been mostly focused on the price difference between the two devices. The way Samsung make their releases usually makes it a viable option to buy their previous phones once a new one has been released, and this is no exception. At the same time, the upgrades offered by the S6 definitely justify the price difference objectively, so it mostly comes down to knowing one’s needs and choosing the device that will satisfy them adequately.
Those who mostly use their phones for Facebook and e-mail will probably be happy enough with the S5, but buyers who want something more powerful, a phone that can properly handle heavy apps and be uses for cutting edge entertainment might want to consider the S6 as an option.
It also interesting to note that the negative sentiments about the comparisons between the two devices have mostly been coming from Samsung’s own fans. People outside of this community seem very interested in the device and have been positive towards it in general.
According to some, this could be because Samsung fans had higher expectations for this device. It’s generally true that tech fans attached to a particular brand tend to be more sensitive to changes in that brand and they usually have somewhat higher expectations than others, so that could indeed be a contributing factor.
Hope i have that samsung the tgrer
