Great value for the money

Phone owned for more than a year

Fast and reliable phone. Really good performance in all aspects. The only cons that I can point are the glass back and the curved display, but of course you can always buy the regular s6 version. Good display.

Not bad for Samsung's first big change. The only thing I would worry about is the battery life. The display is still absolutely astonishing compared to phones from 2018. I definitely recommend buying this thing. Good job Samsung!!!
