What file system is the Galaxy S6 is using?

[AC Question]

Does the new Samsung Galaxy S6 support saving files with sizes above 4GB? does the file system still limited by the 4GB of the FAT32 standard?

Unless Samsung switched to exfat then the answer is no and I don't believe they which is why most users wanted microSD which would be formatted to exfat and support larger file You could always add an external card reader like this one Meenova.com, Welcome and add a 64GB (or potentially 128GB) card to it and have your files on the go.

It uses exFat. I have uploaded on it a 16 Gb media file without issues.
S6 can also mount exFat formatted SD cards in an otg card reader.

After the new update to Marshmallow, exFat support seems to have been dropped. A USB stick previously working fine with an OTG adapter, suddenly no longer mounts and appears as 'damaged'.
