Flytech, 08 Jun 2025The Legendary phone...
That still better than today cheap ... moreWhile it is by no means a bad phone, it sadly lost many of Samsung's long-standing selling points.
I never understood what the big deal about "premium design" is. I buy a smartphone to get stuff done, not to look at it.

I had it for around 3 years and its probably the phone with the worst battery I ever had in these 10+ years using Samsung.. I don't know if it was just my phone but the battery didn't last for 5 hours..

this phone was garbage, even for its time, it overheated, was fragile, no microsd slot, and ran slow as hell even on the stock firmware, it really was just a publicly released s7 prototype.

With the Android 6.0 update, the camera launching while power saving mode is on slowed down significantly. They made that camera app for Android 5.0 and apparently didn't optimize it properly for 6.0.

Specification sheets should not just mention the charging speed, but also the charging speed while the screen is on. This is important to know.
On the keynote of the S6 in 2015, the presenter Justin Denison said that he needs fast charging to be able to charge faster at the airport lounge. Unfortunately, the S6 (and several successors thereof) slow down charging to 6 watts while the screen is on, so charging is only fast in stand-by mode or while powered off.
In other words, Justin Denison can't read his emails while charging at the airport.
It took Samsung years to realize that slowing down charging while the screen is on is not a good idea. The more recent Samsungs thankfully maintain the full charging speed while the screen is on. If Samsung's intention was to prevent overheating, how come it even slows down charging when turning on the screen when the battery is cold? Doesn't make sense. This was one of the greatest annoyances back then.
Also, thankfully new smartphones are thicker to house a larger battery. This thin design trend from the mid-2010s was a very bad idea. Smartphone vendors know better now.
Also, flash is disabled under 15% of battery charge because the battery is too weak to power the flash. But wouldn't it make more sense if it only limited the brightness of the flash rather than completely disabling it?
If the battery has enough power for full-brightness flashlight at 16% charge, it should still have enough power for slightly less brightness at 15%.

Remember the short-term thinking people who said "120fps video recording is unnecessary because screens only have 60 Hz"?
Now that 120 Hz screens are arriving even at entry-level smartphones, those 720p120fps videos recorded on the S6 can be enjoyed as real-time.
Too bad new Samsung phones do not encode slow-motion videos in real-time anymore. Samsung introduced real-time encoding on the S6 (file has same frame rate as was actually recorded), but later changed back to the inferior method of slowing down the video file, which is both bad for video editing and does not allow playback in real-time with sound.
While the S6 had many disappointing feature removals, at least real-time encoding of 120fps videos + audio track was a welcome improvement.

I still technically have this, it's just in a phone coma. I dropped it once and the screen refused to display, and the noti light was just flashing blue. 4 years later and I raged with it once and the back glass fell clean off.. maybe I could try disconnecting the battery and try getting it to work..

I bought it in May 2015. I still use it every single day! Everything is still original, including the battery. This phone fits in my pocket so easily. And operating it with one hand is super easy.
But now it is time for me to move to a new phone. I am thinking of getting S24. I can't find any other decently small power houses. The new design of small Samsung phones is just bad.
