****** OFFICIAL SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 THREAD ******

[kero89]

no leh, the video seems to show that the user tap on the home button, the display lights up and unlocks. hmmm ....

Yep confirmed it doesn't on the preview sets. I am very used to the mate 7 finger print unlock so was hoping S6 does it the same way.

Double tapping will unlock + launch camera though

You need to click the home button to wake the S6 or S6 Edge from sleep for the fingerprint scanning to work. But this is a test FW. Maybe the final FW might be different.

Oh. Was hoping it may be working differently as compared to iPhone.

Yes, double taps feature... Everyone wants it in the new Galaxy phones out of the box. Sadly, Samsung still have not heed the advise and implement it. Got to wait n see.

Technology explained: inside the Exynos 7 Octa 7420, Samsung's best chipset yet



The processor of S6. Seems like the GPU is not that good yet. Hopefully it gets better when Note 5 is out.

Samsung Galaxy S6 review
Can metal and glass give this phone some class?

https://mobilesyrup.com/2015/03/18/samsung-galaxy-s6-review/

Pros
-Beautiful, bright and accurate QHD display
-Much improved build quality over previous Galaxy devices
-Light and thin, with a robust frame
-Best-in-class Cat-6 LTE network speeds
-Superb camera speed and daylight photo quality
-Improved low-light capabilities over previous Galaxy devices
-Pared-back TouchWIZ experience with less bloat
-Improved speaker
-Wireless charging / Adaptive Fast Charging alleviates battery issues

Cons
-Glass back is a fingerprint magnet and occasionally slippery
-Software has some infuriatingly bad design decisions
-Limited use for the fingerprint sensor
-Volume buttons too high up on left side
-Lower battery life than Galaxy S5

Rumoured that there is a S6 Active with physical buttons and IP67 standard coming.

To me, it is better to combine since they are both in the S6 family. No right or wrong. Just saying too.

SD card? Reliable source?
