The touchscreen didn't work properly on the first phone I was given, and I had to take it back. I'd had it less than a month so JL kindly replaced it. The touchscreen on the new phone seems to be working absolutely fine, with normal sensitivity.

Like all samsung phones, great at the start, A year later software becomes a real issue and battery drains fast. Drop it and the glass will smash for sure

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a phone that the brand should rightly be proud of, and it clearly is. Why else would you release the same phone again but with curved edges in the snappily-named Galaxy S6 Edge?

Great camera; Strong design; Excellent audio

A little pricey; Battery not great

The covers are off! The Samsung Galaxy S6 is here, and we've been hands-on from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. So what's it like? In a word: surprising.

Attractive design; Best smartphone camera; Gorgeous screen; Helpful UI improvements

Sealed battery with average endurance; No microSD card

For years, I've called upon Samsung to create a premium-caliber flagship phone that demonstrates focus, taste and restraint . With the Galaxy S6, the company has at long last delivered.
