EPTUsing cases for phones is really not needed so I wouldn't exactly hold that against the edge. That being said, I'm still not sure what benefit it actually offers.

From what i remember, there wasn't much negative to say about the design of the HTC One M7/8 I actually miss AMOLED and prefer it compared to the super LCD of my M7 | ||

Anyway, the review that everyone has been waiting for is out! Marques Brownlee: Samsung Galaxy S6 Review Summary:
So unless you're a person who goes on long camping trips every week or works in an environment where there is a lack of power sockets, the battery life is sufficient enough to last you the whole day. I'm a moderate-to-heavy user and I still have 20~30% remaining after a full day (I leave home at 8am usually and come back at 6~8pm on most days). It's better than my iPhone 5 at least, so I'm happy. For those used to the Galaxy Note series or iPhone 6 Plus, then it may be a problem if you're used to having 50%+ remaining after a full day. But then you also have to ask yourself the question, what's the purpose of having 50%+ remaining after a full day? It has no practical purpose unless you actually have no charging ports near you most of the time. And for most people, that isn't the case. So the only real reason why you would go for a phablet like the Galaxy Note 4 or iPhone 6 Plus is because you like the larger displays and don't mind your phone being larger/heavier than a smartphone. | ||

The idea behind wanting a removable battery is so that you can replace the original battery that only lasts 2 hours now (as opposed to 4 when you got it three years ago) with a new battery. Yeah but the current trend is decreasing length of ownership. I don't think a lot of owners are even keeping their phones for 2 years. If anything, the S6 has shown Samsung those things don't matter. They may add them back in because they can or to appease certain groups, particularly for the Note, but it's just a non-issue for the vast majority of people. | ||

I don't know about the American phones but the S6's for India will be made in India. Not really a shocker but the working conditions of the city in general are terrible. Where Noida ranks on that list I'm not sure. I think it's fair to say it takes at least near slave conditions to get the phone in ones pocket at or near the price it is. | ||

The only countries that utilizes fair labor are HTC, Nokia and OnePlus. It's funny how some people think the specs are important. There are many phones like the HTC One M9, LG G3, etc that are very smooth without the best specs. Better specs does not mean better performance. | ||

The camera is made by Sony, their DRAM is made by either Samsung or Elpida, Snapdragon is made by TSMC, display made by Sharp (?), etc. Manufacturing is the same as assembly. You're just using them in different contexts. Of course HTC doesn't manufacture parts... | ||

I don't think Samsung will release S6 Mini. It will probably be in Samsung's new A series range. It's weird how Samsung uses uni-body aluminum in their mid-tier A series range but went with glass in their premium range. Copying Sony's Xperia series perhaps? | ||
