Yessir.

From 100%, for one full day, text a shitton and use chrome a lot and play a game or two and watch a vid or two and text some more

let me know what the screen on time/battery life ends up being. Kthx.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Why?

Because you were all too shortsighted to wait for the Z4. My predictions say it will be POTY.

I bet you could just set the screen to always on and time when the battery dies - the screen will take so much more juice than the background activities of texting/browsing. (other than playing games of course)

I'll have lots of impressions in a few hours. Got the OG model.

its not the m9? DO NOT WANT

That's basically every day for me, except for texting, I HAVE NO FRIENDS

Yessir.

I thought you hated TouchWiz?

Lol, I doubt it.

Not with an 810 it won't.

 

[Kill Your Masters]

The Z4 will probably be a rather small upgrade. Just the typical sony 6 month refinement and something for people with a Z1.

 

[gcubed]

I'd totally go for a phone with zero ports if turbo charging wasn't a thing.

And if it was an apple phone where updates came out within a year of release.


Edit... Nvm not even then considering you would have been screwed on 8.1

 

[Drifters]

Why?

Because the S6 is a piece of shit phone made by a piece of shit company... that's why.

 

[Gambit61]

Ah, I'd wait for the Z4 but Verizon might give us the Z4 aka Z4v aka Z3 instead lol.

 

[Wreav]

While this is true, I value camera performance over the skin, and the improved TW seems to be a pill I'm finally ok swallowing.

Ok, this fanboy shit has gotten out of control in here.

 

[Wreav]

Setting the S6 up now. Feels lighter than the i6 in hand, probably due to the wider surface area.

They straight up copied the iOS parallax effect on the TW home screen, pretty hilarious.

Throw the google now launcher on that shit and dont look back.

Has Google started letting you have more than 3 home screens yet?

I tried the Google Now Launcher a long time ago, saw 3 home screens, lol'd, and went back to the 7 home screens I have on my TW launcher.

 

[Wreav]

The app drawer exists for a reason, man.

SWEET BABY JESUS THERE'S A FLASHLIGHT QUICK TOGGLE IN THE SHADE

You came from a Nexus 6 which also has this same feature, no?

This is a bit ridiculous. Why not just use the app drawer like a normal person?

 

[Wreav]

Technically I'm coming from an i6, only had the N6 long enough to know it wasn't for me.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I tend to have all my apps on 2 screens. Everything else in folders/app drawer.

 

[Jigolo]

I managed to fuck up my charging port on my N5 by constantly having trouble putting in the usb the right way (for so fucking long), lol. It estimates a 9 hour charge time, tried different outlets, chargers (2amp) but nothing worked....except wireless charging.

Thank god for wireless charging. Slower than the usual usb charging but at least it works. USB C needs to come sooner. I thought I needed a new phone (which I was waiting till 2016 for one) but it seems I'll be fine for the rest of the year.

I keep it all on one screen Minimalist approach for myself.

*fistbump*

My revolving door animation wouldn't look pretty with 7 screens

 

[Jazzy Network]

I got Nova on my S6 with a customers icon theme pack. So much classier than TW and stock for that matter.

All my apps I use are on the dock. I just swipe the dock over. I can't stand too many home screens and icons on them.

I always thought it wasn't limited. You create them by sliding an app or widget to the right.

Regardless, I just tested and have 5 home screens.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

pretty much the same, never more than 1 row and never more than 2 homescreens.

The fuck do you have on 7 screens?

 

[Wreav]

TW is so improved, I can't really believe it. It's not perfect by any means, but it's not intrusive at all. Most menus are wildly better.

 

[Hasney]

Because the S6 is a piece of shit phone made by a piece of shit company... that's why.

Even after all the shit Samsung have put me through with my S4 and my TV, I wouldn't go that far.

I'd just recommend anyone to stay far far away from them in the UK. Their customer support has been outsourced to another company and if something goes wrong, you're fucked unless you enjoy wasting your time for months trying to get something sorted.

Are we posting our home screens? I got this done last week. If you think it's ugly just tell me ;_;

it's not ugly but it's pretty blinding

 

[MercuryLS]

Too busy and the colors are too garish.

 

[Wreav]

No review I've seen mentions it, but the S6 has a custom screen off animation that wipes from the inside out. Kinda neat.

Gah, you guys are right ;_; I tried too hard to abuse the AMOLED's ability to make colours pop. Time to use more traditional colours and declutter

The S6 fingerprint unlock is faster than TouchID and its not even close. The double tap for the camera is also stupid fast.

Double tap for camera works everywhere in the OS too!

So glad they replaced double press home button to S-Voice to Camera. Makes way more sense. Is S-Voice even still a thing or have they done some long press to Google Now type thing?

niceeeeeeee. Honestly I stay with what I said, if the battery was better it would be the no brainer of the year without even having to see the g4/oneplus2/nexus/motox.

Sounds like a dope phone though. Other than the glass. Gotta give samsung props.

 

[Wreav]

The negative to their fingerprint tech is you have to totally cover the home button. The i6 lets you get away with a partial coverage.

 

[thespot84]

On-ears ears are a no-go when I'm running around, man.

makes sense. I use them at work and for $25 they can't be beat.

yes but its so fast. I love it

 

[Husker86]

Got $15 out of Amazon for the delay...rollin in the dough.

Don't think my chances are good at AT&T retail stores, but I'll check one or two out after work.

 

[Wreav]

Sammy's email program now supports HTML signatures. Pretty freaking awesome.

The rest of the app got a nice UI refresh too.

 

[Wreav]

App pinning is included too! Buried under settings>security>other security.

Any lists of current 5.0 phones? Need it, for reasons.
