right ok

I've been tempted to get S6 and this is why

I took out a one plan with three sim only. Was formy gear S but feel It's not being used so I rang three up to cancel but they said it's a £90 cancellation fee even though it's sim only..I was quite surprised. It can't be cancelled with no fee until october.

So wanted to know if the S6 takes the same sim...hmmm

Okay early reports on the new device. It is faster. But that's just a first impression. I'll see as I load up my apps and finish setting up and whatnot.

But if this is for real, I wonder what the heck happened with my first device...

Question: what is everyone's screen mode? The default one is adaptive display. Is that what everyone is using too?

What's the kernel version on the new phone? I never had battery issue with mine and after the push update it seems like my cell got a few hickups and slow downs so I froze samsung push and deleted the update they pushed for battery life

I think the new phone is better. Not sure why or really how but things just feel better on it. Finger print scanner for one works better than my previous device. It's a good start. We'll see as the day goes on...

Nice. Let me know how battery life works out for you in a few days.

Think you just got a defective one.

Will be interested to see what your take on the new one is, fingers crossed it works out better for you!

Tried out the S6 at the store again. I can't seem to reproduce the keyboard lag. I tried to type as fast as possible and no lag at all.

The more I try the S6 the more I feel this is Samsungs best phone ever. It feels balanced if that makes any sense.

Yeah I never had any keyboard lag at all and my finger scanner works 9 out of 10 times without issues too

Anyone know a good car charger that's cheap around $10 w/ Quick Charge?

This one seems really quick compared to my last one. I can't give you numbers because I only use it for a quick charge in the car when I need it. All I know is most people in my car tell me is way quicker than the one they have in their car. 2.4 amps per port. I bought two. On for the front and one for rear passengers.

Been playing with it all night and still this morning sitting at my desk at work and this thing is blazing fast. I have seen no lags or jitter yet. Still going to put the device through some battery cycles to see how the battery life it shaping up.

My second unit is definitely better. Sent the first one back. I'm a lot happier especially because now i can stick with this screen and camera. May sell the one plus soon.
