This phone is such a fail.
1 no replaceable battery
2 no sd card slot
3 16 mp camera, now over 20 plus
4 no snapdragon 810
5 Microsoft bloat apps
6 same design
7 2550 mah battery with a QHD screen, way too small
8 Samsung voice. Bloat we have google
9 tons of apps that if we wanted, would just download from google store
We will have tovwait for reviews on this so called nexus like ttouchwiz, but Samsung made all the wrong changes with very little of the right ones. I usually would buy a Samsung over HTC, but the m9 is better in every way

They're going the "we know we're going to sell even less than our previous model so we're making people pay more for it" route.

the side of the screen will glow when you get a call and the color can be set for contacts

that's it, that's the killer feature

why would you need curves in your phone screen when the anime girls on your home screen don't have any?

lol i thought that was an s5 or whatever next to the new one. i predict the edge to get gently caress all sales but also be the only phone to get support for the new sarnsung watches or something stupid like that.

also the current generation of smart watches wont work with the s6, calling it now.

don't forget that the s6 edge will undoubtedly cost more

having two SKUs where the only substantive difference is the curved edge makes it clear that the feature adds so little to the phone relative to cost that it's not even worth positioning as an integral feature.

you can get a universal thing that plugs into the port and lays flat underneath the back cover to let you wirelessly charge any phone
