What do you guys think of the new Samsung Galaxy S6?

You can use google to see it and read about it....
Without a replaceable battery and sd card support, a LOT of people are going to be pissed off.
It's made out of all glass...did engineers learn nothing from the iphone 4 with it's glass back and front??
I think hardware and software makers have been completely out of touch with their customers for the last couple years.
Just my opinion, but it looks like samsung is going downhill along with apple. Two peas in a pod.

You should post a link to your first post to the S6 information instead of making all of us go look ourselves; proper thread etiquette, dude.
Anyways, I believe that a lot of mobile phone companies make their phones easily breakable so that people have to buy more of them... some people are so stupid that they have to always have the newest stuff and I'm sure millions of people will buy the S6 and break it quickly, if it truly is made of glass as you say.

I usually like Samsung, and I like my glass backed phone I have right now, but I shattered the screen on it, it's still usable though.
The M8 is a really nice phone, it was originally going to be the phone I got, but I changed my mind last second.
I have looked into the s6 yet, but I'm not a huge fan of the s series in general, for Samsung's I like the note series.

Money grab. The see how much money the people with apple iphones spend and want in on it.
I could never play so much for a phone before, but I would never buy that phone now on top of it!

I think anyone trying hard to have the newest thing these days is severely out of the loop or a bitchy idiot. Once ionics hits the market we will be on the cusp of a brand new era of sci fi freaky shit. Hold on to your shit, and save your money as much as possible. Or, support the cause by purchasing these items and don't whine about it. Look at HP, they put out mediocre hardware for years, and now they have memristors. Looks like they did what Ford did and cut QA for some time to boost funding for development. Not really a bad thing when you think about it.

My girlfriend and I both have Note 4s and theyre great.. still use my S2 as a portable hotspot cause we have unlimited data on that sim card.. the note edge is a gimmich since your finger wrap around the phone when you hold it causes unwanted buttons to be pressed.. this S6 will be shit.. samsung users love to take their back covers off infront of iphone users and be all like look at this i can remove my battery and expand my memory..

Don't know any details about this new model but I have no interest in high end phones, $200 is about the top end for what I'm willing to spend on a phone. It can get broken, stolen, or whatever, I'm not going to put serious money into the purchase.
I think the trend towards lack of microSD card slots is really stupid. It's a feature that huge numbers of people find useful, and it probably costs peanuts to include it. It's purely so they can charge ridiculous premiums for onboard storage.

Yeah but cloud memory is what's going to help us push the limits of our technology. Many people don't like it, but with the prevalence of internet these days there's no point in continuing a dated system.

Meh, not everyone has internet access affordable enough to use frivolously on their phone, and local storage is cheaper than ever.

Thin clients reliant on a network for storage aren't a new idea either, current buzzwords notwithstanding, and they have the same limitations as before: when you don't have access to the network, you don't have access to your files. Why subject yourself to that ridiculous limitation when a $20 memory card stores plenty, and tomorrow's $20 memory card will store twice as much and so on. There is no real upside to limiting your options in that way.

It's really disappointing. The HTC One M9 isn't much better. But between all the bitching after the announcements, I did learn about the Saygus V2, which looks pretty sweet.

OP...they do those things on purpose so when the next phone comes out they can have all these new upgrades" to make it seem iike you are buying a better phone than the last.
the galaxy s7 is going to be all like "now the phone isn't glass so it wont crack! even comes with a replacement batter!" when it should have had those specs awhile ago.
