The S6 battery pack is smaller than previous models so Samsung could create a slimmer phone, while concentrating on design over functionality. For moderate usage, the Galaxy S6 battery life will last around 17 hours off one charge.

Is a S6 waterproof?
jacqueline

You don't want to get the normal S6 wet, but the S6 Active can be submerged in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes and walk away just fine. It can also withstand a 4-foot drop without worry, which is something the standard S6 might crack or shatter under.

Samsung officially dropped support for the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 series more than two years ago. The two lineups have enjoyed a couple of Android OS updates and numerous security patches throughout their lifetime, but surprisingly enough, their legacy is not entirely over.

How do you soft reset a Samsung Galaxy S6?
ben_greenfelder

If your Galaxy S6 has become frozen and will not respond to anything, try a soft reset. A soft reset will restart the device and will not erase any data. Press and hold the “Power” and “Volume Down” buttons for about 10 seconds until the device powers off.

The tablet does NOT support wireless charging as the back is made of metal not glass and would interfere with the wireless charging coils. The tablet does not have a IP68 rating and therefore is NOT water resistant/proof.

The phone is fantastic fast when compared to other peers and loaded with a 3GB RAM and a 64 bit octa core processor, no lag, multitasking is like a cakewalk with a buttery smooth touch. The display being super AMOLED (2560x1440) and a ppi of 577 is the best in the current market and better than the Note4.

pamala_daniel

Issue: Battery life is poor. The 2,550mAh-rated battery in the Galaxy S6 is not the biggest battery on the block, and a number of users are having issues with poor battery performance. The phone is quick to charge, but it's also quick to drain, and a lot of people are not making it through the day without a top-up.
