Here's what appears to be our first real look at the Samsung Galaxy S6.

Looks kinda like a QR-esque code printed on the screen cling. Lots of shit by the cap buttons that doesn't belong either.

Called 3 VZW stores, all claiming to know the N6 is coming but that they haven't received stock nor an official release date.

Fun fact, that little orange/white briefcase logo is named ugly_android_work_icon.png inside the Google Search APK.

I'm confuzzled.

We gotta pay for this?

Edit:

Looks like if you are paying for Apps then it's included:

Google Apps supports Android device management today and will fully support upcoming Android features for the workplace when available in early 2015. These features will let people create dedicated work and personal profiles so work data is safe and personal information stays private. Learn more about upcoming Android features

That camera bump looks so incredibly amateurish that I can't believe it was approved. What a shitty design. They should really be embarrassed.

The bump is SOOOO much smaller than the renders showed. Slap an Elago or Spiegen thin fit on there and it's flush, who cares.

And the SIM tray isn't thick enough for both a SIM and SD, get used to the Apple life, suckers.

One more post and I'm back to work...real talk: if the S6 can get 3.5hours of SoT and the fingerprint scanner works as good as TouchID...it's kind of a no brainer, especially with that 20mp camera and 128gb.

Google will launch Android Pay at I/O in May

A source close to the matter told Ars on Wednesday that Google will be announcing a new payments API that will be called Android Pay at Google's I/O conference in May. The platform will power in-store and in-app payments for third-party apps.

Android Pay will allow companies to add a mobile payments option to their app, to which users can upload credit card or debit card information, so that payments become single-tap transactions within the app. In addition, a company adopting the Android Pay API will be able to allow tap-to-pay transactions in brick-and-mortar stores. This function will rely on Google’s Host Card Emulation (HCE), which makes it easier for third-party apps to take advantage of Android phones’ Near Field Communications (NFC) chips.

But that's the thing. The bump is so small, why even bother to make the phone thinner than the camera module. It would look much better (as in "not as ugly”) if it was flush. Absolutely nothing noteworthy was achieved by making it thinner. It's not lighter, it won't feel better in your hand and it won't look better.

Instead they fucked up the back again, but this time you can't replace it.

Every Galaxy has had a camera bump, Note line too. What's your point? Thinner feels better in hand.

I like the look of the S6 but the lack of an SD card slot makes it a non-starter for me. :(


edit: This appears to be the page of near simultaneous double posts... :D

I....don't think I've ever had SD card anxiety. Though that's probably because 32GB is finally becoming the norm
