This is NOT a review of the S6. This is a first impression with a hands on with the S6.
My wife and I were out shopping today and one of the items on our agenda was to shop for a new cellular company. We ended up at a retail store and were talking with a salesperson about pricing and services and I told the salesperson that I wanted to wait until the new S6 and M9 were out before deciding to switch. While we were there a guy came in in dress attire and was talking to someone else there about three feet away from us. When I mentioned wanting to see the new S6 he looked over and said "you mean like this one" and handed me an S6 phone. I was startled and asked if he worked for Samsung and he told me that he did. I was able (with his permission) to look at, and handle the phone, go online with it and to work a few apps and do a little bit of my own quick tests.
The phone was a black S6 and he had it set up with a plain black background instead of some graphic type of wallpaper. I can tell you that this phone is absolutely as gorgeous looking as you've heard. I brought up some websites and then scrolled through them by swiping my thumb on the screen. There was no stutter or lag whatsoever and the scrolling was amazingly fast. I have an M8 and that has been my standard for a lag and stutter free phone and I can tell you that the S6 had no lag and no stutter and the scrolling was faster than my M8. The screen is nothing short of unbelievably bright sharp and clear. The phone itself looks every bit as high end as anything out there. I wasn't sure if I would like the glass back, from what I had seen in pictures if looked great but, in person and hands on, I loved everything about this phone. All the first impressions that have said how good this phone looks were not kidding and they are not wrong.
I had decided to hold off buying anything until the S6 and the M9 were both out, but today I decided to pick up the s6 as soon as it is available.
I had a good conversation with the guy talking about my background and when I was about to leave he handed me his business card saying that he never handed out his card to the general public but wanted me to have one and to contact him after I got the S6. I didn't look at the card until we got home and it turns out the guy (not giving his name out here) is Field Marketing Manager for Samsung Telecommunications America.
This in not intended to be any kind of review, it is only a first hands on impression of the S6. For me there is no longer any question of my next phone. Oh, and wait until you see the S6 Edge. Got to see it but didn't really get to play with it, but it is pure eye candy and if it runs as well as the S6 it is sure to be a phone to beat from the standpoint of both looks and function.
