Since a lot of people have been clamoring for more premium design from Samsung, the company had to cut some edges. Whether or not these compromises could be justified is debatable, and you will find yourself arguing if it’s worth the upgrade.
You can see above that the Galaxy S6 is surely a spec upgrade, but it drops water-resistance, expandable storage and a larger battery for a sleeker and better looking build.
Personally, it would have been okay with me if Samsung added a little more thickness to the phone just to accomodate a larger battery and an SD card slot. How about you? Do you consider the Galaxy S6 a worthy successor to the GS5? Feel free to leave your comments down below!
