Samsung Galaxy S6 is an incredibly powerful Android phone launched back in the year 2015, which counts with a high-tech 64-bits Octa-Core processor (it's actually a Quad-Core ticking at 2100 MHz and a Quad-Core speeding at 1.5 GHz), a good size 5.1-inches multi-touch capacitive display, and two cameras, a 16 megapixels back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front side camera.
Samsung decided to build this cellphone with a Exynos 7 Octa 7420 chip, which holds a very fast 64-bits Octa-Core CPU (as a matter of fact it's really a Quad-Core clocking at 2100 megahertz and an additional Quad-Core at 1500 megahertz) and a large 3 GB RAM memory. Graphic rendering generally eats lots of processing power, so this cellphone uses an extra 650 MHz Mali-T760 MP8 graphic processing unit to take care of them, leaving the processor free for other tasks. This cellphone counts with a large 128 GB internal storage and whereas it doesn't come with a slot for an external memory card, it is still enough to install hundreds of apps and even the largest games available nowadays without worrying about how much memory is left.
This phone only has 5.65 inches long, but it is still able to fit a a 5.1 inches display. This cellphone is just 0.27" thick, taking it to the thinnest cellphone's category. This cellphone construction combines Glass and Aluminium, giving it a high quality look and a better resistance. This cellphone feels much lighter than what one would expect from a phone this size. This cellphone is available in a variety of colors like black, blue, white and gold.
Samsung equipped this cellphone with a incredible 5.1 inches screen, and a 2560 x 1440 (Quad HD / 2K) resolution, which makes it impossible to even see the pixels in the screen. Its screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
The S6 is equipped with two cameras, a 16 megapixels back-facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front facing camera. Its back-facing camera lens has a maximum f/1.9 aperture so it can take beautiful photographs even in dark conditions. It is also able to capture 3840x2160 4K videos at 30 frames per second. Additionally, this cellphone's camera also counts with multiple amazing features like auto-focus, flash, optical image stabilization, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, smile detection shooting, geo tagging and HDR mode.
This phone provides wifi capability (and it can provide it to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G LTE-A ultra fast internet connection and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone supports dual sim cards to be able to to work with two different carriers or phone lines.
This phone has a 2550 mAh high capacity non-removable battery that can keep this device running for many hours and even reach the end of the day without having to charge it at all. An issue to evaluate is that this cellphone's battery is non-removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to last shorter, whereas with this big battery you will probably discard this phone before it becomes a real problem.
This phone also comes with plenty of useful features such as Fingerprint unlock, Wireless charger compatibility, Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared Transmitter, Bluetooth (4.1) and GPS, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.
This cellphone is being sold for around 252 dollars, quite close to other same level phones. If you will use it to play games, you love taking photographs, want a phone for work or want a cellphone to mainly use social networks and internet browsing, you will definitely be very happy with this phone.
