REVIEW: Samsung Galaxy S6

The galaxy S5 was a good phone but it had problems. The phone was a little thick, it had a weird, plastic, dimple back and it also looked like it was made for people who are more active. At least it had a decent camera and was easy use. When Samsung released its 2015 flagship I was really impressed. The phone has a nice sleek design with an aluminum bezel and glass on back side of the phone. It is running the latest version of Android with the latest version of touchwiz on top. So far this phone has impressed me.

Software

The Galaxy S6 is running the latest version of Android, Android 5.0 lollipop, and has Samsung touchwiz UI on top of it. In the past I never really liked touchwiz because it was so bright, to many features, and kind of slowed down the speed of the phone. This year Samsung really improved their software by making it more customizable and for me making it feel more faster. With the new touchwiz Samsung made a theme store to customize the phone. My favorite on is the material design theme, it has that nexus feel mixed in with Samsung features. 

Camera

The phones camera is awesome! With a 16 megapixel camera you can get crystal clear shots..... I in the day light. At night the camera does not look that great, it looks like the picture is washed out sometimes and also has to much sound. For the front facing camera I say, with the 5 megapixel camera it is great for taking selfies and to video chat. The one thing I don't like about it is the app. The shutter speed is fast and everything else is perfect except for the features. When you open up the camera app it comes with the basic features like auto and panorama but if you want more you have to download them off of the Samsung app store. That also means that you have to create an account with Samsung so you can download them. If you don't have a problem with then the camera would be grate for but for the people who don't like that you can just download the Google camera or some other third-party camera app.

Wireless Charging

Okay I know this is not that big of a deal but the Galaxy S6 finally has wireless charging built inside the phone. That means, since the phone is inclosed,  that you don't have to buy a separate back cover for wireless charging like the previous phones. The only thing that you have to buy separate is the wireless charger. 

The High

The best thing about this phone is that it is a huge makeover from the previous phones. It no longer has that slimey and plastic backes. Another good thing about the phone is that there is a change in the software so it is more friendly to use then the last one.

The Low

The phone is slippery and fragile because of the glass. The camera is protruding out of the phone which means it makes it easier to scratch the only way to fixes this is a case.

The Bottom Line

The phone is easier to use, it has an amazing camera and and the features are not as noticeable as the last one. I would recommend getting this phone, I did.

Pure or Almost Pure Android Phones. UPDATE

There are many Android phones out on the market and most of them have custom UI's on top of Android. The way to get rid of a custom UI on a phone is rooting that phone or buying a phone with pure Android. The phones that usually have pure Android are nexus phones, but there are more devices out there. Today you will see how many there are.

1. Google Nexus 6

The Google Nexus 6 is the best way to get the most out of Android. This device was the first ever device to run Android 5.0 Lollipop with dual front facing speakers and and a 5.96in display this is the biggest phone on the list. If you want a big pure Android phone with fast updates this is the phone for you.

2. Samsung Galaxy S6

I know what you are thinking "This is not a pure Android phone it's the galaxy S6." The reason I am putting the galaxy S6 on this list is because yesterday a material design theme was released on to the theme store. It is not pure android but still it is close. I personally love the phone but with a material theme it is grate. If you want to make more like pure android download the Google Now launcher and Google apps off of the play store.
