Some early reviews say Touchwiz is still there, and pretty much the same :( Just less bloatware, and the option toe remove apps, but the RAM intensive and memory hogging Touchwiz is still the same :confused:

So Samsung finally makes a much better looking design, great hardware, but still *****ty TW UI.

They really need to use a better spokesperson to present their products. He is the CEO but he is not a good presenter.

Both the S6 and M9 are great pieces of hardware and nice designs. But man both UI's are just not as nice as stock Android. At least Sense is actually pretty good, and Tocuhwiz just blows, but still prefer the option to install stock Android.

The S6 running a Nexus stock Android OS would be amazing, and a must have to me. Same with the M9, would love to see another GPE version from HTC and Google on the M9, but I think that program has dies :(

I like that both the S6 and M9 are still in the smaller 5" size, that are easier for one handed use IMO. But I want the option for stock Lollipop version, with no manufactures UI.

Samsung can't present for ****.

Bend joke.

Go on, tell me again how cool it looks!

The Edge in green looks interesting.

That joke was just awkward. The audience didn't even know what to do.

This new presenter is even more annoying. Why does she keep shouting?! She also keeps looking at the auto-cue, which is far from professional.

I'm sorry, but this whole presentation is just awful. The phone may be good, but they are not selling it well at all. It's just awkward to watch.

Is there any circumstance under which the tech media wouldn't proclaim these the most beautiful phones Samsung has ever made? Once the rumors were out that Samsung was ditching plastic I don't think it would have mattered what they announced. To me the devices are just 'meh' because they still scream Samsung with the touches of chrome and I never had a problem with Samsung's other phones. So does no removable battery, no sd slot and not waterproof not matter any more because Samsung ditched plastic?

I said this is EXACTLY what would happen. I was right.

Agreed. The phone itself seems quite good. Better presenters wouldn't have to force the crowds enthusiasm though...

ok...now they have my attention. The new specs look promising!

They bought an existing company.....

Not a very original name. But I guess Samsung Wallet wouldn't have been either
