Nor does Air View, which blew up images and messages with a finger hover. The company's "air gestures," which let users browse pictures, emails or other content with the wave of a hand, no longer appear on the Galaxy S6. Samsung has, perhaps unfairly, taken a lot of criticism in the past for providing too many features so this version has buried or removed some of the flashier functions from earlier phones.

The Galaxy S6 runs Android 5.0 Lollipop with Samsung's TouchWiz skin on top.

Whether I was listening to Mark Ronson's percussion-heavy "Uptown Funk" or Earth, Wind and Fire's bass-driven "September," the instruments sounded tinny and flat.

The Galaxy S6's bottom-facing speakers emit sound that is loud enough to fill a large room and clear enough for movie watching, but harsh when listening to music at higher volumes. In auto-detect mode, colors stayed true even at wide viewing angles, and I was able to view the screen easily in direct sunlight. Fine details, such as the rivets in Iron Man's armor, the battle scarring, and the bricks on a castle wall in the background, were easy to make out on Samsung's screen.Īt 521 nits on our light meter, the Galaxy S6 is one of the brightest phones on the market, handily beating the smartphone category average of 381.9 nits and coming out ahead of the iPhone 6 (504 nits), the LG G4 (396 nits) and the HTC One M9 (472 nits). The same clip appeared dull, flat and lifeless on HTC's phone.

When I watched a 1080p trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron on both the Galaxy S6 and the HTC One M9, every shade - from the blue in Ulton's robotic eyes to the red in Thor's cape - seemed to pop off the screen on the S6. The Galaxy S6's 5.1-inch, 2560 x 1440 display offers stunning, sharp images filled with plenty of vivid colors.

However, the G4 has both a removable battery and a microSD card slot taking up space and weight. The HTC One M9 (5.5 ounces, 0.38 inches thick) and LG G4 (5.5 ounces, 0.39 inches thick) are both bulkier. The front of the Galaxy S6 looks a lot like prior Galaxy S phones with round edges, a webcam and mics in the upper bezel and a physical home button flanked by two capacitive navigation buttons for multitasking and back.Īt 0.27 inches thick and 4.9 ounces, the Galaxy S6 is a tad lighter than last year's Galaxy S5 (5.1 ounces, 0.25 inches thick) and the same thickness but heavier than the iPhone 6 (4.55 ounces). The matte aluminum ring around the top and sides also look great, but very similar to the edges of an iPhone, particularly on the bottom. (Image credit: Jeremy Lips / Tom's Guide)
