On the flip side, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is said to be not waterproof unlike its predecessor though they claim that it has some water-resistance feature. It comes with 32GB, 64GB and 128GB internal memory but has done away with microSD card slot, which can disappoint some users.
The device also houses a non-removable 2550 mAh battery. The South Korean electronics giant claimed that the battery has long life but users will expect more. High screen resolution will also consume more power. Surprisingly, the company has the tradition of increasing camera pixel of its smartphones but it has stopped with the device by housing a 16MP camera, which is seen in its predecessor. However, it may be mentioned that camera in the new device comes with features like Quick Launch, Tracking AF, Auto Real-time HDR (Front & Rear) , F1.9, Low Light Video(Front & Rear), High Clear Zoom, IR Detect White Balance, Virtual Shot, Slow Motion, Fast Motion, Pro Mode and Selective Focus that will enhance users' experience.
