It now sits awkwardly at the base of the phone, rather than the back as it did on the Galaxy S5. One move that doesn’t work so well is the speaker placement. Thin metal volume and power keys live on opposite sides, which helps avoid accidentally pressing power key as we experienced with the HTC One M9. In fact, despite its large 5.1-inch screen, it doesn’t feel that much chunkier or clumsier than the dinky, 4-inch iPhone 5S. The phone is light but still feels solid, and it’s slimmer than the Galaxy S5.

Some finishes have a slight dual tonality to them, so they appear to change colour depending on how the light shines on them. The brighter colours also tend to be fingerprint magnets so keep a spare cloth handy if you opt for one of those. The “jewel tones” – as Samsung calls them – include White Pearl, Gold Platinum, Black Sapphire, Blue Topaz and Green Emerald. Less successful are some of the colour options, though.

Considering it still has a great screen and camera, there’s still a lot to like about this phone. Samsung will also update the S6 to Android 7.0 Nougat in the coming months, giving your phone a new lease of life. It laid the groundwork for the fantastic S7 and possibly the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8.
