It also has some ducks. Like audio ducking stopping what you are listening too completely on every sound. That one drove me nuts

No one, just sourced one , lowest new price on eBay, 310, argos doing them for 350..
Check hotukdeals mate. O2 on their refresh tariff. Buy then cancel tariff straight away and you pay £240+£20 cost of phone =260
I stand corrected my good man.. shame I didn't know this last week.. doh..
The only issue is, I'm more indecisive than a well, I'm not sure what!!! I still can't bring myself to buy one lol
£260 for 32gb
+£80 for 64gb
I have a 6s Plus and not sure if I can cope with a smaller screen lol
I've just checked this deal, they r refurbished units, probably ok, but not spanking new..
It's true they're refurb but according to reports they're as good as new. The only issue is they don't come with the original fast charger. Just a usb cable. And it's hit and miss if o2 agree to 'send' you one for free. Also it's one year warranty.
Bearing that in mind I think some may find it easier and better value to buy one at Argos for a bit more.
Personally I'll just stick with the iphone. Not worth the hassle going Samsung again imho
I'm trying the S6 again tonight, and it is so amazing. Seems smoother than I remember.
The S6 & Edge are both very smooth in my experience. Their weak point is the memory management, mostly remedied in Note 5 & Edge + with the extra benefit of additional 1gb ram. But other than ram management my two edges I had were both extremely fast & lag free.
I am going to speak blasphemy for a minute and say this is smoother than my 6S+.
the only thing that ruined the experience for me is scrolling in pretty much any app. any and all web browsers i tried, facebook, bleacher report, etc. It's a choppy experience that makes it difficult to even read while scrolling. besides that, yes the S6 was very smooth in my experience as far as operating the camera and opening various apps, notification center, etc.
I'm using Chrome Dev and I'm having to get used to the scrolling. It might be a bit too good, the kinetic scrolling is great.
for real?? too bad chrome doesnt have ad blocking
I don't think they ever will either.
Here’s how to install the Android 6.0 beta on your Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge if you are in the UK

Interesting... I know I shouldn't trust this on a daily driver but...hmmm.
I would hold off and let other users test it out first. Let them be the scape goat
.
Been 8 months now with my S6 Edge. Never thought I could use a Samsung as my main (and only) phone for this long. I was also worried that it would lag after a few months but so far it's great. Very solid device.
Well I waited almost two days and gave in. Happy to say that it's looking very nice so far.I would hold off and let other users test it out first. Let them be the scape goat
The biggest gains I can see is overall smoothness as well as better RAM management. I did a side-by-side test against my Note 5 on 5.11 and the S6e on 6.0 held more apps (9) before needing to refresh. Having RAW and shutter speed in the camera is good too.
Couple of bugs (Gear VR doesn't work) and the odd random FC but I think most folks will be happy with this when those are cleaned up.
Gonna see what Doze does for battery overnight.
I ordered a 32gb s6 here in the uk in boring black. Does the storage get earn up easily even if not storing music?
Oh wow nice! The ram management improvement is good to see! Hopefully you can get doze to work (it seems to work on and off for me).
By the sound of it, I might just choose a Samsung for my next phone (been a nexus user). I find gear VR a really good selling point for me.
Did you try this? Any smasung device must install this to use with chrome.
Try it.
Chrome Samsung support library:

Try "chrome Samsung support library" app for any Samsung device using chrome.
Makes it a lot smoother.
How are the folders and widgets in the touchwiz launcher? Those were my biggest pet peeves about that launcher, the folders showed too little apps when opened and widgets didn't scale right. That and you can't move the apps button.
