I work for AT&T performing Plant Operations for U-verse. A few of us were given the new Galaxy's to test out. We get terrible service with out I Phone 6 phones ever since we had received them especially with the LTE staying in range which we need due to VPN and that's how we code our jobs by an app on our Iphone. I have had every Galaxy since GS2 and Every I phone since 2 as well (Work phone). I decided to compare each of the phones that i currently have. GS5 with Verizon , GS6 ATT and I6 with ATT.
Galaxy S5 (Verizon). Never had any issues with it is just a pain to open charge port for the USB3. Great design went into the water resistance. XLTE 80/40 and maybe lost signal twice and have owned since it came out.
I phone 6 (ATT). The phone it's self is not bad at all.looks good runs smooth.The issues start with the phones antenna being encased in a non plastic shell and not shielded to reject interference and the metal causes a poor connection with the head tower as well as interfering with the data. This should have been addressed several models ago. I believe it was but I believe the man that created the "fix" just graduated head of his class in apples special eds program.
galaxy S6 (ATT). I was able to watch a Samsung rep take this thing apart and was pretty cool. it is an octa-core exynos processor and is a 64 bit 14nm system on chip. It works more like 2 quad core processor strangely. One set is for mostly for the battery and the other set makes this thing perform insane. Probably at least twice as well as my Galaxy S5 and same with the I phone 6. I know everyone is complaining about the battery not being able to be removed/replaced but the 2 cores that are mostly dedicated to the battery and actually make the phone 35-50 percent more efficient. The way it has been designed is to make sure that the battery does not heat up at all also extending the time before it is needed to recharge. When charging is needed the time is extremely fast i would say maybe 45 min. to completely recharge from dead. I may be 10 min of at max and it uses a wireless pad instead of plug in charger. I notice the screen is really bright compared to both I6 and S5 and adjusts a little on its own from a bright room to dark. (not annoying amount) on thing i see about camera is selfies are a lot clearer maybe better grade but still 5 megapixil. It does come with some pretty cool head phones but sound isn't any better. Just about everything else is on the S5 as far as i can tell. videos look awesome on it i think it got up to 4k but don't have anything 4k to watch obviously. almost forgot its metal. not sure why they listened to the Apple people complain i would have rather them made it full water-proof. Feels really light, Samsung rep did a decently hard toss to the ground so the new gorilla glass must be pretty good because it landed right on the corner edge which is where i always crack mine and it didn't leave a mark. i did drop mine down the stairs and there is a scuff in the blue. I guess whatever they wanted us to try em. I have no idea why they gave us the 128gb ones but i loaded it with every song from my 5 and it didn't slow a bit. This phone is amazing and well worth it. Puts both S5 and I6 to shame. Just hope your 2 year is up or you are on a plan that you can pay monthly for the phone.
