The technical specs look mighty impressive, even though I'm not a big fan of the Samsung software. Only wish there was some way to increase battery energy storage density, but improving on Lipos as far as I can tell it is impossible without switching to a different mode of storage outside of chemical bonds, which were likely long away from. | ||

The battery, while slimmed down, is actually better than the iPhone 6 according to this review. However it's noticeably worse than the Galaxy Note 4's battery. Samsung had to choose between keeping the phone slim to make the S6 aesthetically pleasing or to increase battery size (compromising thinness). Samsung chose to make the S6 slimmer than its predecessor and I think they did a pretty solid balancing act without compromising battery life too much. Currently there is research going into graphene battery technology. It's nowhere near implementation stages and it will take decades for the technology to mature. Until then, Li-Ion technology is the most reliable and advanced battery technology that is suitable for smartphones. EDIT: I just came across this on Anandtech: Galaxy S6 drop test I wouldn't want to get into an argument this girl!  The glass on the Galaxy S6 seems like it's invincible! | ||

Super AMOLED screens have a 1000X faster response time than LCD screens (it's a reason why some prefer Super AMOLEDs over LCDs especially when it comes to media consumption) which means that this may warp an external camera's video recording.. I came across the camera bitrate effect while experimenting with Adobe Premiere Pro. EDIT: looking at the video again it seems like the girl just swiped up&down at the times when the screen didn't move. So it wasn't a lag issue at all. | ||

I came across the camera bitrate effect while experimenting with Adobe Premiere Pro. Response time and input lag are (unintuitively) completely different things. Response time refers to the time that pixels take to change color, while input lag is the delay between performing an action and it actually being shown to you. That still looks like it has a lag of ~100ms and further delay due to lag/freezing when switching between screens etc, like pretty much every smartphone ever. IDK why nobody has made any progress there. You can very clearly see her finger moving, but the screen not scrolling for a fraction of a second or even longer at times. It's happening IRL (like on every other smartphone and tablet pretty much ever) and not just a camera problem | ||

I don't think I'll actually be excited for phone until it's got a flexible screen that makes it more practically portable. | ||

It's happening IRL (like on every other smartphone and tablet pretty much ever) and not just a camera problem Sorry I thought you meant the screen flickering. BTW if you look at the video closely, at the times the screen didn't move, she actually gestured up & down (or at an angle that was more vertical than horizontal) rather than sideways. Also she was tapping at the screen at times so the screen didn't move. Towards the end, she pressed the home button, so again nothing to do with gesturing sideways. So it wasn't a lag issue at all. | ||

Aha thanks for those you can still see the lag though in the first 5 seconds very clearly | ||

I have yet to see real lag on videos on the Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge on other videos though. Such as this: And here's another video by a different reviewer: Skip to 1:50 where he starts to use the phone and watch until the end. No lag is evident here. Skip to about 4:30 and you'll see him swiping at the screen. There is virtually no lag. The times the screen didn't move was when the screen didn't register the swipe (probably various reasons including the fact that swipes need to be a certain length to be registered by a smartphone touchscreen). Here is another video of the same guy with the Galaxy S6 Edge this time: So I think the other video I linked with the girl smashing the phone was actually not lag, but looks like lag. A the start, I can definitely notice some stuttering. But this may be due to the effect I was talking about with Super AMOLED displays. I could be wrong, and it could be lag. | ||

There's the usual delay when interacting with the screen in any way, 50ms+ (maybe 100ms) - there's always some amount of delay, it's just different depending on hardware and software (and very unusually high on smartphone/tablet touchscreens compared to even regular PC usage) If you can't see it there, you just don't know what to look for | ||

I wouldn't necessarily call it laggy though. If you mean that it's laggy in that there is delay, then I guess you could say all displays these days have some kind of lag. But yeah I agree, there are some delay issues with the video. For example, there is some noticeable delay when she swipes to the right to bring the app (some sort of social media/news app?). By the way, here is another (and more impressive) drop test: The Galaxy S6 Edge survives an 8 feet drop! This is beyond impressive IMO. That phone is literally indestructible in any everyday situation that involves dropping your phone. I know my iPhone 5 wouldn't survive that, nor would any other phone on the market. Perhaps the next iPhone 6s may get the newest Corning glass found on the Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge. I don't know why any other new phones are not using the new Corning glass. I think it's most likely due to costs. Corning glass is the most expensive glass for displays on the market. | ||

First of all, you people don't like the worse battery life? Well, if the phone was ticker, it would be posible to have a larger battery there. It doesnt even has to be super tick, since the Moto Maxx has 2 days battery life withouth being a brick. Also, IDK whats the point of making the phone thiner, if thats going to make the camara stand out of the device, making it easier to scratch, not being able to rest the device on a surface because it will move, and as I said, it doesn't look bad and they could put a bigger battery there. Samsung phones will always be more laggy than others, they put too much stuff there. Most of it isn't really useful. But they are good devices. | ||

Hey actually you're right, the HTC One M9 also uses Corning's Gorilla Glass 4. So I guess that adds to the list of devices that use Gorilla Glass 4. I think Sony said the Z4 will be their last smartphone which sucks because they made good smartphones. Although this has not been 100% confirmed. The iPhone 6s and LG G4 will probably use Gorilla Glass 4 as well if we go by the trend. | ||

Search for FLCB. Hoping this tech be more matured in a year or two. This can make for some awesome battery slim case But with the quick charge feature I think the phone battery life shouldn't be a concern. | ||
