to me it's ufs2.0, which is like a ssd on a computer.s6 boots up in 7seconds, loads heavy games like asphalt 8 in less than 6seconds, and so on. every app loads up much faster because it has world's fastest read/write speed. it's significantly faster
[ POLL ] What is the most significant new Galaxy S6 feature?

The body design and built-in wireless charging modules seem to be really popular options. I can't wait to get my hands on the actual device and produce my own opinion/review.
I like the improved one-touch fingerprint sensor on the physical home button and the headphone jack on the bottom.
You might be tired but it affects a lot of others who need to get it out of their system and also take a stand.

Operating smoothness (read: NO LAG!!!).
After this, camera speed and low light performance, fingerprint scanner and stunning physical beauty.

Take a stand against what? There are other good choices out there...not sure I get al the drama over this, it's not the only phone made.
I agree. Its like people who moan about being stuff in traffic, you just have to accept how things are.

I'd vote for the fast camera opening. I could care less what it looks like as long as it's not pink.

Honestly it's MST as far as I'm concerned. Samsung actually came up with a way to interface their payment system with legacy magnetic stripe readers, negating the biggest barrier (in the US at least) to pay-by-smartphone adoption on the POS (seller) side. It's gonna be huge. HUGE!
My second choice would be UFS.

Honestly, I picked the design, but the fact that they packed so much more into the phone than apple ever could or would try I am amazed. Display, improved memory, camera (front and back), fingerprint sensor, wireless charging, etc., etc.
Since we have one more month, let's vote and find out what we love the most about the new Galaxy S line!
I really couldn't decide--I said improved camera, because that is what I'm focused on right now, but I really love the higher end design. That plastic stuff was terrible. I also like the improved sound with the speakers on the ends. I have an HTC1 M7 right now. I love the metal body and the front facing speakers, but I would like a better camera. The battery and SD card is not an issue for me.
Seemingly the software is more streamlined, as well. I'm fortunate that I am due for an upgrade April 19, so it is perfect timing. Not sure about the finger print stuff and Samsung Pay, but I will probably like it, just never have had it.

I know that I'm late to the discussion, but it really wasn't 1 feature that makes me take a second look at the S6. it was really 3 features or spec that did it for me. I'll list them from least to most important.
First and least important is memory or storage sizes. If I'm going to go without a micro SD card then I need more then 32gb of storage.
While the base model might be only 32gb, I should only have to wait a mouth or so for the 64gb model and I don't see that being an issue even in the color that I want. Again, I might have to wait a good month or so, but 64gb in black shouldn't be an issue. (if you are waiting for the 128gb model, then availability and or your color preference might be an issue... I have a feeling that most carriers will not stock the 128gb model in any or most colors)
The new camera. Starting with the S4 I've realized that I take the vast majority of cellphone pics indoors and in low light. I still take plenty of pictures outside and in bright light too, but only when I don't have my dSLR with me.
Samsung was always good with their cameras but starting with the note 4 they began to use faster lens and OIS.
While the HTC One m9 has a good camera, it has a slower lens and no OIS like on the S6. That was a huge deal breaker for me in getting my next toy (I mean phone).
Finally, Samsung pay. While it might be popular in Japan for years, NFC payments have been non existent in America. Even Google wallet today is almost useless as very few retail and food chains offer such NFC payments. Even Apple is having a difficult time implementing apple pay because of the lack of NFC readers and support.
But because Samsung purchased Loop pay, the S6 now offers both magnetic swipe and NFC style of payments. And while this might not be a big deal in some places, in America this is huge. I can have all my cards stored on my phone and then use them in almost every store or restaurant today, and not in a year or two once NFC readers in the states become more popular. This tops what Apple is trying to do because it is almost impossible to get American businesses to implement the readers.

The camera. The camera is the most significant new feature. After that, the build.

♻from the Note Edge✒Improved camera and new fingerprint scanner are the 2 big ones for me. Followed slightly by the lighter Touchwiz.

The main one is the toned down Touchwiz...then the Finger Print reader...and then design. But all of the combined features made me go from "NEVER Samsung Again!!" to drooling over the S6.
