Who need that?I am talking about basic things like camera, battery, stability.
M2 is working perfectly fine for me. Price is affordable and it is very stable device. I will not spend more than 400€ on a mobile phone.

The reason I asked is I haven't done any reading about Samsung Pay and I'm curious if it has any advantages over Google Wallet?
Samsung Pay will work with all card readers....not just the ones that say they are set up for mobile payments.
I just read a few articles about it. It seems pretty neat! Kudos to Samsung, they just might win me over yet!
Galaxy S6 and S6 edge start receiving S6 edge+ features with new update http://t.co/NQopDB0LcU
Dont worry the lag will send you back, just traded my s6 for a LG G4 and wow no more lag.
That's what I'm worried about. I'm very interested in the edge+, but I've been using an iPhone 6 for a year (my first iPhone) and it's been the most reliable smartphone I've had yet.
Been back on my iPhone 6 and I have to say how dull and lifeless the screen looks compared to my S6. And unlike some others, no lag! Actually see more lag on my iPhone than on my S6.
Ended up putting a normal screen protector on it rather than a tempered glass. Read a lot of reports that most still have that halo effect? I don't plan on dropping my phone (WELL I"LL TRY NOT TO!). I just hate fingerprints. I'm pretty careful with pockets etc.
I was playing with a friends 4 day old S6 this afternoon and I was surprised how laggy it was for a device with virtually none of its storage used up. Swiping sideways between screens and the delay opening apps was most apparent. It took nearly 4 seconds to open the camera app. My iPhone 6 was incredibly smooth in comparison. What's the secret for improving the lag as I wish to pass the info on?
You mean sharing the opposite experience to the post I quoted is considered by you as a 'fanboy argument' yet their's was not? Convenience or selective criticism maybe?
I honestly don't know. I'm using touch wiz as my launcher. Using the material design theme and mine is as zippy as the day I got it. I think carrier bloat ware plays into this, I have T-Mobile and they didn't include much on the device.I was playing with a friends 4 day old S6 this afternoon and I was surprised how laggy it was for a device with virtually none of its storage used up.

From what I have read on here it appears it affects some and not others. I told her I would research it and let her know. She has got it set so all icons are huge, not sure if that would slow it down somewhat if it's got assistive access activated.
Has she tried using the easy launcher? The icons are huge by default, so maybe it would perform better than magnifying the stock launcher?
I was going to mention Nova to her as I've often read about it here. Do you think this might suppress some of the bloat causing the lag? Is the easy launcher a setting that simplifies the interface?
One thing I will say and that is the camera is very good on the S6. I was impressed with it as a device and once it has a few of the stutters sorted, she'll have a lovely phone. Looks nice in gold too.

You go into recovery.
Power button + volume up + home button
Hold down at start until blue Galaxy screen and let go. After you get the ? Symbol it will go into recovery. Scroll down with volume keys to select wipe cache partition. Press power button to select. Scroll up to reboot. Power button to confirm
