- You can send just about any file over WhatsApp - including media (you can't over iOS)

Now this I didn't know couldn't be done via iOS.. I thought it worked on both platforms.. will have to test it.

How are you enjoying it?

Re: Galaxy S6

I've only played with it briefly because I bought it for someone else. I do not like Touch Wiz and the usual baggage, I suspect the phone feels a little bit sluggish because of it, compared to my One Plus One running a Blisspop ROM. I'm trying to root the Note 4 which is proving to be more of a hassle than I thought. Physically I like holding it, it feels thinner and lighter than my OPO. I read the Note 4 has an amazing display but I haven't managed to enjoy that fully, the stock T-Mobile ROM comes with a garish red wallpaper that is killing my eyes

The S6 looks very classy though. I'm looking forward to checking out the Note 5 later this year.

Re: Galaxy S6

Holy mother on a pogo-stick, this has got to be hands down the best display I've EVER laid eyes on. 577 PPI is just madness. Photos and HD videos look INSANE on it. Front faving 5 MP shooter is awesome. I'm in fucking love

Re: Galaxy S6

Congrats on your new toy This one looks much better than any other galaxy phone..


Its always fun to get a new phone... see how you feel after the honeymoon tho... I hear android gets worse the more you use it, but I guess with all that crazy powerful hardware it won't matter anymore.

Is that thing running Snapdragon 810 ? I read somewhere that those things heat up quite a bit

Re: Galaxy S6

Thanks, still in the honeymoon phase and loving it, just looking at such a high resolution screen makes every interaction a massive joy. For the S6, sammy moved away from the Snapdragon's to their own Exynos processors. No problems with heat, but usual Tmo / Android bloatware is making the battery drain unacceptable. Updated to 5.1.1 and phone went fgom 75% to completely empty overnight. Totally unacceptable. Hopefully the release a fix soon.

Otherwise, its awesome.

Re: Galaxy S6

T-Mobile bloat is really bad and I'm having a hard time rooting my phone.

Re: Galaxy S6

I bet if you love watching videos on your phone... then the Galaxy S6 is a must have.

Re: Galaxy S6

I did a side-by-side video comparison test using my S5, S6, an iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in pitch darkness using the below video and the results were nothing short of eye-popping. The S6 just blew everything out of the water. The extent of the deep blacks from the AMOLED panel mixed in with the staggeringly dense PPI bought out details that the rest of the devices just couldn't keep up to. The iPhone struggled to show blacks, showing the space backdrops as hazy greys and the iPhone 6 was the worst of the 4. Safe to say this device is going to stay with me for a very long time to come.

Re: Galaxy S6

i just ordered the new S7 Edge after having an iPhone since the iPhone 2.

after playing with the Nvidia Shield tablet since November with Android OS.. it completely blew my mind with the customization and the features of the OS compared to Apple's iOS.

also built a new Windows desktop in February so my Apple fanboy days are near over with the exception of my V5 iPod with my portable amplifier which probably wont be going away any time soon.. then again with the S7 SD card expansion (also ordered a Samsung 128 EVO+), who knows this may be my new one-device-for-everything.

Re: Galaxy S6

^^^ ddr!!! I made the switch last year to Galaxy Note 5 and I also had the iphone from the beginning and loved it, but man had Android come a long way, plus the screens on the galaxy phones is tops above all imo. I can do so much more on my note 5, and the simple ability to download from the default browser strait to the phone is something that apple will sadly never give up. Hope you like it, I bet you will.
