Samsung Galaxy S6 vs Samsung Galaxy S5 | Pocketnow

[@shaunkilla1]

Waterproof and expandable memory is the only thing keeping me with the s5

[@smokeybear45]

JMVEntertainment SD card

[@stnicholas678]

zerolemon 4 life :)

[@jatindertiwana37]

R u on stock touchwiz ROM? I'm running cm12.1 (android5.1) on mine

[@nizzy7506]

***** no they've tested the s6. Its secretly waterproof.

[@matthewfalcke8258]

***** the s5 can go 3 feet underwater for 30mins

[@uNkLeRaRa4]

How the hell is a nano sim card a "feature"???

[@ArielJerseyJr]

uNkLeRaRa4 Its just a cut out of a micro sim card. I don't know if thats really a feature as well.

[@musicalhistory4392]

It allows more future support, so potential. Then again it hurts current support so there is the who cares ideal.

[@DarthAwar]

+Ariel Jersey Jr It is but barely just like having Bluetooth in this day and age it's something that we kinda expect!

[@DarthAwar]

+Nawnp MCPE Not really the nano does not really save that much space in modern phones and the data on the chip is the exact same! It only makes the phone have more overall space by about 2% compared to using a Micro Sim!

[@musicalhistory4392]

Darth Awar I know size isn't that much an issue anyways, what I said was future support so that if you change phones with nano sim to nano sim is better then micro to nano. As far as size is, it doesn't make much a difference on any smartphone, maybe size is a factor on a cellular smart watch?

[@timdumoulin4207]

Why care about the s6 superior build when you need a case over it anyway!?

[@mpafiarikhalepou997]

i need a case for every fcking phone

[@RadioactivFly]

Non-removable glass back, no SD card, no waterproofing or dustproofing... They wanted to make it more like an iPhone, so they adopted the iPhone's worst features.

[@gotripgamer8473]

+iDontbreakPS3 i like the glass panel, i have a powerbank. i like the no-sd card, cause i have dropbox and spotify and the watre-dustproof, don't be idiot to drop your Phone in the water and buy a waterproof case if you really worry

[@McVidsAndTutorials]

+iDontbreakPS3 nobody likes, but some don't mind. Actually most don't mind. For example me. I never remove the battery and i never use expandable storage, so all i see in the s6 is just improvements

[@McVidsAndTutorials]

+GotripGamer yeah. true, microsoft onedrive is my removeable storage :P

[@DarthAwar]

+RadioactivFly That is exactly what I have been saying they need to re-adopt all the S5 features they dropped for the S6!

[@RadioactivFly]

Darth Awar Well, I'm using an S5. And after my 2 years are up, I'll probably go to LG if Samsung doesn't get its shit together.

[@DogeFrom2014]

I always felt like the S5, even though it's freaking ugly, wins for me. Because it's waterproof so I don't have to worry about it getting wet, it has SD expansion which I don't have to worry abut saving space, and it has a longer lasting battery. Those factors sadly makes it look like I should get an S5, but I want the S6 :(

[@enzyme20056]

What a pretty cat. The s6 really does have an amazing camera.

[@SethSolomonSputnikSpyglass]

Looks yellow

[@ankursahoo2179]

Sputnik Spyglass well the lighting is yellow

[@SethSolomonSputnikSpyglass]

Ankur Sahoo i mean in comparison with some shots of the 5

[@Charliejam.]

enzyme20056 a pretty cat O.o?

[@kaitlyn3386]

but a s6 has no storage, can you save the photos you took? or no.

[@Itsanthonytalking]

Samsung really tried to make a iPhone 6 spinoff...I have the s5 and I couldn't be happier

[@jrucorrea6063]

Sorry but the s6 demolishes the iphone six

[@phenomenon4810]

Yeah bro, s5 is just more convenient. But It's understandable why they made the s6 so different. They just wanted to shit on the Iphone 6. I'm sticking with my gs5 though.

[@Faiyam]

Reaper Phenmenom which c I'll colour? I got the gold one

[@phenomenon4810]

I have all black, true plus facts that they made it just like the iPhone 6 except better just to show that they "got it like that".

[@akshitkapoor21]

hows the experience with the theme you are using on s6? and u did nt touch the software.. hows touchwiz with 40% less bloatware..

[@Pocketnow]

Akshit Kapoor pocketnow.com/2015/04/08/samsung-galaxy-s6-review ^M

[@simratsingh4146]

Pocketnow we got 5.02 now so there is no lag now can u edit ur review

[@akshitkapoor21]

Have you received an update?? How's the experience after the update?

[@fidelr599]

Akshit Kapoor yes I already updated my gs5 it's a great new version the only inconvenience on this version is that the battery drains little faster than the 4.4.2.

[@papajonny8177]

Arjana grande bing bing

[@yo7173]

I don't understand why people care so much about design. I mean, when I buy a phone I don't buy it because it's fucking pretty, I buy it because of the specs, because of the features, because of what it can do. The S5 is a very good phone, I had my 4G+ version for a month now and I coudn't be more satisfied. Oh and In my humble opinion If you already have a S5 don't go for the S6, it looses a lot of features and It's not worth the upgrade.

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

touchwiz crap s5,yeah

[@redmondbandy3521]

Although I do like the design of the new S6, I don't see why they didn't make the sides look like the Note 4? The square design is easier to hold on, AND the Apple Lemmings wouldn't have called it a copycat of the iPhone's design. It didn't seem like a wise choice to me.

[@brandong7675]

Same

[@LesterDarioDeLaCruz]

Howard B if they had just made a smaller note 4 I would've been a lot happier with the design. I get how the S6 stays more true to samsungs phone design that they started with the s3 but the s4 was such a good move in premium quality.

[@dennissletta2207]

Lester De La Cruz galaxy alpha..

[@LesterDarioDeLaCruz]

Dennis Wibe except that was not a highend smartphone. making a pretty device isn't good enough either it has to be good too.

[@dan428]

Howard B well it obviously is a copy of Apple's design ideas, but that's because they're getting more desperate after the huge profit crash that occurred after the s5 release

[@somethingelse25]

I like my S6. For waterproofing and expandable memory there's cases for that but I think they come in either or. I dunno if they have all extra battery life, water resistive, and expandable memory in one case. That's really nice about the S5 but I love the camera on the S6. I'm a bit of a photo bug.

[@rancybajapanty]

why ppl care so much about the design idgaf I'm buying a cover no matter what the design looks I have an s4 right I forgot the last time I saw the actual phone lol

[@iamplatinum844]

Rancy809 you have an s4 that's why you wouldn't care for the design. The s6 especially the edge is a sexy beast that needs to be paraded. Just don't drop it though.

[@viplami]

Eco Box lol paraded

[@lordawar857]

Exactly

[@Commandosoap777]

So basically the s6 is an s6 with less battery life and less features.... good job Samsung!

[@jareda.1353]

Commandosoap777 Or less annoying features and many tests actually show that the S5 and S6 do about the same in battery life.

[@DXluva98]

Not really....

[@Commandosoap777]

Waterproof,SD card,revoable battery were all useful things . I ment s5 sorry for the error

[@Commandosoap777]

The only reason ppl like it cuz the design was changed other wise this Is a step down from the s5 epically I'm battery

[@Steve93K]

Commandosoap777 have you tried using a s6? the internal storage speed is basically much faster than conventional ones, yeah that includes class 10 sd cards. Personally I never used a external sd and never removed my battery. So for me it's a great upgrade.

[@EzMackinCheez]

I'm glad you don't disable the comments like other reviewers. I know their are lots of trolls but you also get real questions from people who respect you and pocket now. So thanks again. I still love my note 4 but the s6 and s6 active are very nice.

[@jfriant]

S5 isn't too bad, I'm using one myself, with a 64gb SD card, but right now I'm not gonna upgrade to the S6 just do to the fact there's no SD card slot, they couldn't do what Sony did and add it too the side?

[@user-hv6jw4xd7i]

S5 !!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@matthewmspace]

Under 301 club! Also, great comparison Michael. So interesting to see the differences between these phones.

[@michaeljamesmoore]

I live a highly sophisticated lifestyle which is why I exclusively use Porsche Design Blackberry phones. My cousin cleans out septic tanks for a living and he uses Windows Phone.

[@MsMonster128]

[@HillwoodLam]

Mike Moore lol

[@silentman007]

I really liked how you ended the comparison with describing those two situations at the end of the video!

[@SomberFlame]

Watching on a s5

[@stockman214]

Michael's videos just keep improving- keeps me a fan of pocketnow

[@30kenton]

ok i have to say this,this guy has the best voice for reviewing phone,love then he does the reviews i alway understand clearly

[@BenAllenGoogle]

Personally, I would go S5 hands down. It looks like Samsung just copied apple. Android is known for its expandable storage and removable battery. I see no point in getting a phone that just looks nice. Sure it's fast and has a good camera, but you're really not going to notice a difference between the two phones. But this is just me, anyone agree?

[@version.x342]

Where can I get that weather widget shown in the beginning?

[@mrazalisalleh]

S6 2018...nouget 7.0 yeahhh finally

[@brando3424]

You should do a Galaxy S6 versus a Galaxy Note 4 video Pocketnow

[@bradspine2976]

great comparison, thank you!

[@mxmus08]

We need to get Pocketnow past the 1 Million sub mark peoples. Excellent review as always Michael. Love ur radio voice.

[@niicolecolliins]

I'm hoping to upgrade to the s6 soon and I'm truly excited about it, I really think samsung hit it out of the park with this phone!

[@OcampoJose5]

The Galaxy S 5 on the Sprint Network already offered enhanced LTE FYI

[@420bars]

WOW this Channel is getting better and better, Unlike the other biased channels.. you guys really stick the the beauty of Android phones. Great job guys.

[@Th33Vultur3]

Even if I could afford it, I would go with the S5 without a doubt. Both are available on Boost Mobile which I have and I have the Samsung Prevail LTE and its like an mini S5, so what does that tell you about the phone that I prefer, If it doesn't have a removable battery and SD card slot support, I'll pass. IP67 certified I don't care about because I have have it near a toilet or puddle anyway even though with the S5, the feature is there just in case and for most, just in case, its a good feature to have. At least I can put stuff to an SD card to save space and swap out a battery when it doesn't hold a charge anymore and keep the phone until it breaks or I change carriers and forced to change phones anyway.

[@ogindianspice]

I love how the lollipop update for the AT&T s4 and s5 come out a day before your comparison lol

[@tiburonroano]

In Jan 2016 I went for the S5 instead of the s6/7, removable battery is what I prefer over ram and processor power

[@skyripr]

Great comparison! I like the new finger scanner on the lock screen more than on the S5, but I don't think it's worth the upgrade.

[@alex_is_shook]

I've had my S5 for a year now and I really like this phone. It's my first android after using iPhone for a few years. The plastic faux metal sides and the 'Glam' back I really don't like haha but other than that I feel fine waiting to see what Note 5, and apple will offer later this year..

[@JSantana319]

Michael Fisher does it again with the best tech reviews!!

"1950s diner stool edges" is exactly how i described the s5...Michael Fisher have my babies, i think we're soulmates

[@uhkhil]

Nice video! Can anybody tell me what blueprint tablecloth they are using. It would be cool for a study table.

[@pierreraii4257]

Awesome comparison Michael, keep up the brilliant work guys

[@mikeverdi]

As always, great comparison review, thanks.

[@armuk]

so...what you're saying is: if you're a classy high-flyer = S6 normal every-man = S5

[@vcostor]

I don't understand 4k video. It is only 2160 lines. How do they get the 4k. You figure it would be a 4320 resolution at 4k.

[@BertSportsTV]

I'm still on my S5, because i love the removable battery, plus micro sd card slot and dust & water resistant.

[@yashmehta4066]

How can you download or bring that avengers theme in the Galaxy S4?? I love it, it's awesome Pocketnow 😍

[@LANCEL0T]

internet people, what should i pick? s5 or s6? i like s5 for its durability and long battery life and memory card s6 however is pretty and better performance from what i know i have a lifestyle which i do a lot of youtube and play games on phone while using other applications, im also clumsy what do you reccomend?

[@GEEALVARADO]

ended up waiting to upgrade now I have the s7.... patience paid off.... came with a free smart TV and vr gear as well

[@sinethsok7382]

lol nice m8

[@Msdilz1]

stop lyin only came with gear

[@GEEALVARADO]

yea it was a father's day special at best buy.. free Samsung smart TV and a seperate Samsung promotion buy a galaxy s7 beetween like June 1st and 19th get a free vrgear

[@Ririn-Life]

I'm getting galaxy s5 which currently I'm using iphone 6 now and I'm not happy 😒

[@thot_wheels7618]

Stefan Kuzmanov better buy 2016's flagships.The iphone 6 sucks.

[@yahjewfire]

the s5 is mhl supported too. one of the newest phones with it. meaning I can watch showbox str8 from my phone to tv with an mhl cord

[@MegannnOoXx]

Which phone battery life lasts longer the Samsung s5 or the Samsung s6 ?

[@bravenewhollywood]

Fantastic review. You guys rock! Thank you.

[@RedfernYT]

I'm not highly in favor of any one manufacturer or OS over another but part of this proves a point that annoys me with almost all but Apple; even though you could argue iPhones might not have as many features to begin with, Apple never takes any steps backwards: even if only slightly, it's always perfected or improved in some way, but with Samsung (removal of expandable storage, removable battery, water/dust resistance etc.) and HTC (camera particularly: they're just jumping everywhere with the 2 sensors in the M8 then removing that and drastically changing megapixel count with no improvements or worse optics). It's annoying because people will like/need some of those features for them to just be removed instead of improved next generation and it just seems stupid to me.

[@electrology]

Very timely review Michael Fisher 👍🏽

[@reneec3156]

which one is better , galaxy s5 or galaxy s6? I like both of them but , its hard to choose which one to get.

[@xanderfive628]

This man's reviews are so good. Amazes me every time.

[@hazzif2403]

Could you make a video that'll help me decide whether to get the s6 or the s6 edge

[@EdoBeats]

Thank you for the comparison. I'm a construction worker and was thinking of upgrading but with the comment of tool belt you cleared my mind. Excellent reviews as always.

[@Yoshi_BiH]

I use now the galaxy s5 for a long time. Samsung devices face a camera deamon bug and they still have not fixed that bug, Software updates are so poor and you have 0 response. You must restart again and again your device to use the camera or uninstall apps like viber, skype for a flagship this is a shame and other galaxy models face the same battery drain problem

[@GauravSharma-dm1ew]

I own an S5(octacore)... About the performence... it is smooth as butter (thanks to 5.0 update) And now it is avalable at pretty cheap price as compared to GS6... Cameras are simillar on both but s6 takes lead at night... Ofcourse GS6 is gr8t fone ... i like it very much But ... if u want a gud fone at cheap price GS5 is best at its pricerange (considering every aspect)

[@HumbleD50]

Good review as always. ..thanks

[@ElChuntyCabra]

This video was so helpful! Thanks you!

[@o-carina]

The fact that the S6 no longer has a SD Card slot feels like the ultimate betrayal.. But it does look beautiful

[@RoboticNerd]

So no comparison between processors and speed???

[@Osama1187only]

I want to know how battery life is on the galaxy S6 considering mixed daily usage gaming browsing videos ?I am not sure whether to get s6 or s5 I am currently on note 2

[@turtletrading4207]

Hello everyone! I want to buy either the S5 or S6. The problem is that I can't decide which one to buy! Both phones seem great to me. I had a lenovo A6000 till now lol. The S6 seems to have the edge because it has 3gb of RAM and newer OS but I don't like the fact that its battery can't be removed. Could you please help me decide?

[@laurensdh]

I just traded my s6 edge plus in for a S5 plus. and i never ever was so happy with an "downgrade"

[@neil2401]

I like your comparison between this 2 phones very understandable ..keep up the good work 👍

[@b0nz1official]

Excellent analogy in the conclusion!

[@deamondeathstone1]

Why do the US versions of the S6 have Galaxy S6 on the back? Because my European one doesn't.

[@kingpickle6163]

I am still stuck with the Galaxy S3, and don't know which to choose. Both have features the other would be better with. It's like COD: AW and Ghost. Maybe Samsung takes what users like and dislike and create a much better device. I don't take many pictures, so 32GB is plenty of storage. The main issue would be the battery life, in my opinion. The S5 being water/dust proof is an advantage, but then again, I am pretty good with taking care of my things.

[@meagen1342]

Its so annoying when people whine about not having expandable memory and a removable battery. I have the iPhone 6, which has none of those. But id MUCH rather have a beautiful, sleek metal phone than a plastic piece of shit😂😍😍

[@edster1801]

ok

[@theone4808]

lol enjoy your limited I phone

[@jonathandixon7518]

Beatuty doesn't mean everything in phones. In fact iPhones don't even have some features that have been on android for a while. IPhones also are extremely limited lmao. Rather have an "ugly" phone instead if a phone that's pretty and has no features. Let me guess you're one of those people who do no research on the phone and just buy it because of the looks.

[@meagen1342]

Oxi Clean I've had android too. Laggy, shitty things. And no I didn't have cheap ones. The last android phone i had was the galaxy s6 edge. And I'm still on my first iPhone, and I couldn't be any happier with the looks, performance, and camera quality! I'm in love!!

[@archiethedog4515]

Aaaaaand that all doesn't matter when you get a case for it... Also have fun with the iphone bending because the aluminum isn't durable at all and it completely breaking because of sweat.

[@silentglitcherzz]

Whats the widget app you're using ????

[@fabia.2415]

All my hope is in the G4

[@jstuyfzand5467]

Kurt A. Didnt like the S6?

[@fabia.2415]

Joep Stuyfzand to small

[@jstuyfzand5467]

Kurt A. Hahaha, get the Note 4 :)

[@fabia.2415]

Joep Stuyfzand well yeah good point bro but I dearly want to switch from samsung because it just got plain boring. Allways the same bloatware and shitty touchwiz

[@KASTOR771]

Same here 😃

[@camlwatts]

Great Review again Michael.

[@bellasyt6836]

Whats the battery life like on a daily regular usage on the s6

[@e326972]

Should've put little info on the active. But other then that great video man 😁👍🏽

[@kevinmoreal5200]

does the S6 have double tap to turn on and double tap to put in stanby? thats really the only feature i find important? which has that

[@andrewpranoto]

Many S6 UI from new touchwiz is not avaliable on GS5 even when your S5 is already on Lollipop. Such as the new Homescreen UI which looks more beautiful on S6, S5 keeps the old UI which you can find on kitkat Next is the samsung music player app which incredibly looks nice in S6, you also cant find that on S5. S5 lollipop uses the old music app which you can found on old Kitkat. Which means all the basic software on your S5 will not be the same with S6. Flatten widget, and all of that fancy new widget from S6 will not available on S5 because again S5 still using old widget from KitKat What you get on S5 lollipop is : -The same notification panel with S6 which is very nice -The same recent app style which is card stack kinda looks And maybe that's all you get

[@jcmyluv1]

Samaung G S6 is just a very savvy looking cell phone as iphone 6 and 6plus is a small sized ipad or mac, fancy vs Substance.

[@komise-r7879]

1.37 What is the theme of the Samsung Galaxy s6 ?

[@clinthightowerclinthightow4950]

Awesome review, thank you!

[@aleyvlogs5415]

stunning comparison i have ever seen

[@Q60Mar]

Your reviews are Amazing

[@ladyrainicornot]

can you please do a comparison between the s6 and note 4 :)

[@abdelrahmantawheed1216]

the ATT lollipop update was outted yesterday for the s5 Pocketnow

[@SuperMonkeyman90]

That was a great review mike.

[@ryanfrederich7441]

Everyone wants a removable back AND a glass/premium quality phone so I think Samsung should put the battery on the side of the phone. They could put a latch kind of like the waterproofing hatch in front of the charging port on the s5, but a lot bigger and for a battery

[@gustavodecairesanhaia8330]

Awesome comparison. Oh yeah, It's M. Fisher.

[@xxOfficialEpicBlogxx]

The s5 charges with usb 3.0 but doesnt have fast charging and still charges faster than s6 with quick charging? lol what

[@Novitesse]

Wich theme are u using?

[@rajivbhola5951]

Removing the S6's sd card slot and the removable battery is sort of a negative, cause I reckon it would be cheaper to buy a S5 and a good size sd card at this point in time than to buy the S6, and besides that my S5 can play the most newest games such as modern combat 5 and real racing 6 with ease and no lag, and the camera also is still better than most phone cameras and takes really good photos, so I really have no reason to upgrade at this time. My opinion by the way

[@vannarameas1719]

So does any one know why they removed the interchangeable back cover on the s6?

[@thorok9710]

So does anyone know what that Star Trek app was that he was using?

[@shaunkilla1]

i cant decided if i want to upgrade or not. i love the waterproof and expandable memory feature so much but the s6 is so nice and thin and my s5 cant run lollipop without constantly crashing

[@pinky1933]

I am torn with deciding to get the S5 for its durability in the weather, or S6 for its simply beautiful construction and appearance......I do like camping and outdoor stuff so I am leaning towards the S5 so I don't have to take sandwich baggies for my phone. Already have to do that for the wallet.

[@gamingtutor4575]

I love design, I have always usually been an Iphone user, I think the feel and look of the phone is just as important as the hardware itself. I got the gold platinum version s6 and expect it in tomorrow. As a user of both android and IOS, I think it's good to swap now and again, and now that samsung are taking notice of quality rather than the usual plastic stuff It makes my purchase so much more worth it.

[@jonajona8154]

i have no idea which one to buy! i think the s5 is a little better but i dont like the plastic design and how it looks. s6 looks better but s5 is a better phone! ugghhh so hard. any replies will be helpful please.

[@anisah.5388]

The s6 because it's just got better software and is a more faster phone 😄

[@kolbygill5151]

not really sure if i wanna switch from my s5... i cant switch battries...

[@TheeStarryMeadow]

The S6 would be perfect if it had leather or some other form of matte back. I may or may not get it, I wanted to try iphone but it'll be my first smart phone in ages so I think I should go for something more affordable...maybe I'll get the s5 and wait for the s7 or third iphone iteration after iphone 6 idk

[@thekingofhearts8687]

Brilliant comparison....
