looking forward to their final review, and then most importantly some user reviews from s4gru on RF performance.
I'm assuming with the first review dropping, we should see more in the next few days.
No, it's not really just because people are saying it regressed from the m8.
Reviews are stating that it's not that color accurate and that colors (especially black) are "washed out".
My wife is in desperate need of a replacement phone (my old one, lol) but I'm sitting on both this and the s6 for a week or so to see how the user reviews go. As much as I would like to hop on one right away, I'm going to hold off.
What reviews have you read? MOST of them mention issues of some kind with the display.
Straight from Engadget's review, right at the top under pros and cons:
Screen isn't as vivid as last year's model

I'm not ruling this phone out myself, but it's hard not to see the issues when most all of the reviews list those 2 items as the main issues.
Cool. If the battery and RF capabilities aren't terrible, the s6 will probably be in my hands. Need some folks here to put it through the gambit for a week or so first.
Reviews look great to me, other than the camera still lagging behind Samsung and other makers.
Waiting to see some better comparisons between the m9 and the s6 as far as battery life and reception. Having the N5 currently, almost any camera will be an upgrade, lol.
Anyone having issues with the camera app force closing? Like 50 pct of the time, when I go to open it, it crashes. I've tried force stop, uninstalling updates and reinstalling, and the only thing that gets it working again is restarting the phone.
I was all about this one, but like you, the S6 Edge has now caught my eye. I didn't like the curved edge on the Note Edge, but the dual curved edge... My my I'm in love.
Just now my phone had 2 unexpected reboots. Once when trying to answer a call and the other after hanging up.
Suddenly the phone displayed the black screen with the colored circles zipping around and then displayed "android" on the screen before restarting.
I get the lag sometimes too, when returning to the home screen sometimes.
I also have the same issue with my phone constantly dropping signal and then rescanning. Happened at home in NC and in Michigan on vacation.
So today, my camera kept crashing when I tried to open it. Had to uninstall updates to get it to work.
Also, should this phone be set to Global or LTE in the engineering screen and should Band priority be 1, 2 and 3 for 25, 26 and 41?
