(Part 2) Top products from r/GalaxyS6

/u/Darrkman's (sorry ahead of time lol) recommendation is spot on. The Spigen case he recommends is definitely very nice looking and provides good protection. While it was not asked of you, I still will have to recommend
This gadget as well. 64GB model obviously. Super cheap, but feels like I paid a lot more.It snaps in place into your USB port securely so you don't have to worry about disconnects, and it is extremely portable.

I'll skip the often said and repeated great features you probably know of (e.g.camera). Multi-Window is an awesome feature. I love the chat-heads functionality that FB Messenger has, so being able to replicate it with other apps is a plus. The IR Blaster is an awesome feature. If you pair it with this app you'll find that you'll be hunting around your living/dining room a lot less for that one remote. Screen recording on the device is smooth as butter at 60FPS, 4K/1080p quality.

You'll hear a lot of complaints regarding software performance and it is a serious issue right now. That ultimately depends on the type of user you are though, and how you will use the S6. If you like to root and you opt in for the S6, hope you have an older firmware. If you do, cancel any OTA's, and look up the procedure. There is very little development for this phone. In some areas there is literally none. If you will not root, update ASAP, the performance will be greatly improved. When Android M is released for the S6 the supposed RAM and software issues will supposedly be fixed. I don't have the source for that statement though, so take it with a grain of salt. I could go on longer, but I don't want to write a college assignment sized amount of content here and I'm lazy as hell.

tl;dr: Get it if you love Samsung devices, and do not mind a possible caveat in RAM management. Do not get it if you like being able to fully customize your phone.


(edit: redundant line derp.)

I like to use the Spigen tough armor with a tempered glass screen. I've had it like this for about two years now and have not damaged it. Spigen has a good reputation and I definitely recommend. The cases are pretty sleek normally (unlike the oversized otterboxes) and feel great in the hands. Linked below.

Awesome, good to hear! I found a [metallized] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00QU4NADY/ref=pd_aw_sbs_107_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=517QWm%2B7mOL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL100_SR100%2C100_&refRID=0SCA4GMYYZ40ZXF43M70) version of it that looks pretty sweet, I think I'll get one of the two. Is it easy to pop on and off?

Do yourself a favor:

I've used one of these for years and it works great. Plug it into your aux Jack and pair it with your phone and now your car has Bluetooth. It supports both HFP (phone calls) and A2DP (Music) and it has physical buttons for media control and answering calls.

I've got this guys here:

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00SV63G38/ref=mp_s_a_1_sc_1?qid=1449952206&sr=8-1-spell&pi=AC_SX118_SY170_QL70&keywords=samaung+galaxy+s6+edge+spigen+case+kickstand

Only complaint is that it's a little slippery with the smooth plastic back.

Fits nice, gets a good grip on the edge, looks stylish, all of the ports have decent clearance for plugging headphones and chargers into. Plus the built in kickstand is super handy.

It sounds like you didn't have it positioned correctly. I HIGHLY recommend this charger, even over the Samsung one.

http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Yootech%C2%AE-Charging-Blackberry-Qi-Enabled/dp/B00NWMI07S

If your phone is positioned correctly, it flashes green. If not, it flashes red-green. This way, you know if your phone is charging or not.

Don't. I have one, and it's a great phone, no doubt. But wish I'd waited for S6 active or S7. Battery life with battery saving off is terrible, and performance with battery saving on is poor. S7 has bigger battery, removable storage and is waterproof.

But, if you must have S6 edge, get a case or bumper because if you manage to grip it without a case, you'll tap things you don't mean to tap... and you'll definitely drop it frequently.

Also, if you are in the car as much as me (ave. 60 miles a day) get a car charger with quick charge 2.0 because you'll need it. The QC 2.0 chargers are WAY cheaper than the Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging chargers and they do the same thing (this one is awesome https://amzn.com/B00LJT2EPK). YOU WILL NEED A FAST CHARGER ON HAND AT ALL TIMES if you use it without battery saving turned on... which you will because battery saver sucks.

Get at least the 64 gig because no SD...

I think that's it

Had this one since launch day. Love it.

Try looking up Steelie. It's a small magnetic ball car mount. Works great.

Yootech Wireless Charger... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079KZ49PJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This is what I got, but anything that is Qi compatible will work. :)

This is the case I have in white (I've got the black).

I realize you said you don't like the hard plastic but from handling the case personally it's more of a rubbery plastic that has a really nice grip and doesn't add any bulk to the phone.

Also it seems all white cases for the S6 aren't the norm, and the majority are white combined with another shade.

If the adapter is fine and you just need a replacement cord, try these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MUBQ39O/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_BOJCwbN07P68V

My cat ate my stock cord and I went through many to find a good replacement. I swear by these.

Hmmm maybe get a branded Spigen one, they're very good quality. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen®-CUSHION-Crystal-Scratch-Resistant/dp/B00QU4PN84/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1450522320&sr=1-3&keywords=Galaxy+s6+spigen

My phone crashed when I tried using an otg cable + SD card reader made for computers on it sooo your results may vary on that.

This is the first result I found in Amazon.

You might have some luck with this and a USB stick.

I ordered this today after reading some convincing reviews.

I use one I found on Amazon UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C40OG22

Works fine.

I bought this one.

The one I have does.

I'm looking at this one:

I've been using these monoprice ones for years no problem. Works with fast charge and everything and they are pretty cheap. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CIYJQJM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1466917162&sr=8-3&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=monoprice+microusb&dpPl=1&dpID=41BVDQ7RCpL&ref=plSrch
