New Phone: Galaxy S6!

After feeling the HTC M9 and the Galaxy S6 a couple days ago, I finally decided I wanted to get a new phone, called T-Mobile Customer Service yesterday, and received the Galaxy S6 today. Yes, the official release date is April 10th. I'm happier than a jelly bean-loving kid on Easter Day.

It sure is beautiful. It's odd that the black S6 looks blue-ish at certain angles. It sure is fast in performance. I can already tell the feature of double clicking the home button to open up the camera (from any application) is going to be extremely useful; it'll allow me to capture moments much quicker than I could with any other phone I've ever used.

Having the S4 and S6 sitting next to each other, I can barely tell the difference from the front of the phones. I'm also sticking with the Google Now Launcher so the home screen remains unchanged. The S6 is much speedier and the screen is completely stunning. But my daily usages remain unchanged and probably won't particular feel many differences in the future.

The most significant changes are having some security in unlocking the phone with the fingerprint reader (compared to no security) and the quality of the photos that will be taken (front-facing and rear cameras). I'm surprised how well the fingerprint reader works (as good as the iPhone). And the ability to take front facing photos using the heart-rate monitor is pretty useful as well. The camera application is tremendously improved from previous generations (more iOS like...).

Here are some quick shots I took:
