Tech Radar have posted a very informative hands on review of the upcoming Galaxy S6. Personally, I am very disappointed as they have tried so hard to be like apple introducing the un-removable back and taking away the ability to put in an SD card. I was planning on getting the S6 before I found this out. Samsung, you have lost a customer.

Weaker Battery + no sd card + unremovable battery = no sale for me. Deuces.
And as much as I love Samsung's devices, especially for the superior hardware on the Note series, the Note 4 will be my last Samsung device if they pull this crap with the Note 5 and 6.
HTC is not for me due to their locked bootloaders and weak hardware. Same goes with LG and Sony.
And if Google puls that same killswitch crap with Android that Apple does with iOS to create problems and force people to upgrade, I will be going back to my Motorola v300..
Actually I just might go back to iOS. Apple may be a lot of things, and have more cons than pros for me personally, but they have never claimed to be one thing, in order to gain popularity, only to end up exactly like their competition. Samsung and Google have both done this, claiming to be free and open, with Android becoming closer to being closed with every update, only to change their ideology once they got their popularity and I am sick of it.

This does look like a nice phone, but I probably won't get any Galaxy S6 because they are too expensive buying them off contract without signing up for a long contract.
I like more affordable phones like the Motorola moto E which cost $149.99 without a contract.
But, I probably still get the Samsung Galaxy S6 if I plan to get a more expensive Android phone because I'm afraid that some Apps, Games, and services won't work well on less popular phones since I read a lot of App and Games user reviews on Google Play where Games, Apps, and services work slowly or crash/freeze, and black screen a lot on less popular, and older phones which fewer people use compared to Samsung Galaxy S3-S5 phones.
I think there are a lot of people who think Samsung Galaxy S5 phones work best running Google Android, and smaller phone brands are risky to own because of apps and games compatibility problems, and low quality parts like screen, RAM, storage chips, and batteries which may break sooner on smaller phone brands.
The lack of a MicroSD memory slot, and non-removable battery is disappointing. But, I mainly just use a few apps, and play a few games, so the internal space is enough for me since I don't use my mobile devices for storing video, big pictures, and music. I also try to charge my devices on a regular basis where I don't need to carry an extra backup battery. In my experience, the rechargeable batteries in my devices like tablets, MP3 player, and phones rarely break, and the device breaks first or gets replaced because it is too slow.
HTC, Sony, and other Android smartphone makers risk going bankrupt, and leaving its users with no technical support or updates like Nokia and Palm since their sales are not very good compared to Samsung, Apple, and Chinese brands like Motorola/Lenovo, Xiaomi, Huawei, and ZTE which now sell the most smartphone which has less of a risk of going bankrupt and leaving their users stranded with no technical support or updated.

huh ...Even though i have no money still i would never wanna buy Samsung galaxy s6. I hate Apple products & now when Samsung is trying follow the steps of apple, I will say F you to Samsung and move on with an understated company like HTC or Lg.
Never really liked the Samsung S phones. My experience with the S3 was that it was too easy to accidentally hit buttons, etc, and the UI was just kind of weird. They do make some phones I've liked, though. Particularly the Galaxy Nexus. I guess I'm mostly an apple person, though. 😛
I'll wait. My Samsung Galaxy S3 is still working just fine lol. Perhaps I'll update when they get to S10 or S11 haha. I love my S3. I've had all sorts of phones including the revered Iphones and the Galaxy S3 has been the best I've ever had.

I think that their decision to 86' sd support for their phones couldn't have come at a worse time seeing as how SanDisk just came out with a 200 gb sd card..
I do not care about all of those things, and personally I think its better not having an SD card. 😛
Anyway, I'll be buying this phone ASAP, sadly I just upgraded to the S5 so I guess its not happening for a while....but the S6 Edge is flipping ammmaaazzzinng!

I plan to get the S6 this month I am looking forward to it. 🙂
While I was never really looking for a new phone. (I'm still happy with my Note 3.) I am disappointed by the lack of MicroSD support and non-removable battery.
I hope those two things don't catch on for all their products. Especially when it comes time for the Note 5 and/or Note 6. If they do I may have to look at other options to see what there is then.
