Hmmm, just ordered a 64gb in black now I'm seeing that that Samsung are supplying two different camera sensors ond one isn't as good as the other and of course the reviewers got the better Sony sensor equipped model.

Not sure what to do, is there anyway to tell which camera sensor is fitted on the box?

I read that both very similar, the Samsung sensor has better low light images

Yes what ive gathered as well, people say they are both good.

Got mine coming tomorrow, il see what mine is.

From my understanding, there really isn't any different between the sensors. I definitely wouldn't get hung up about it.

Caved in and bought a black 32gb s6 from .de

Cost £486 delivered. More money than I wanted to spend, but hey ho, I've had my s4 for quite a while now so I'm due an upgrade.

Just hope there are no issues buying from Germany...

Think you can't go wrong with Am.de

Chris344 · 31 May 2015 at 22:37

another am.de customer here, they even exchanged a faulty unit for me.

Now to tell my iPhone 6 Plus

IvanDobskey · 1 Jun 2015 at 06:38

Only thing that worried me was there is no mention of what version of phone it is and whether it is sim free.

Phone is sold and delivered by Am.de though.

Any idea when I should get it and what courier will be used?

So since my last post I decided to give the phone a bit longer, but I ended up rooting and I'm getting a much better experience now, especially battery life which seems a lot better.

Running Wanamlite Rom & Ktoonsez kernel:

That is really impressive, I can't believe I've got to root just to aim for similar stats :confused:

Does root still have the wakelock bug?

3 network.

ROM: LRX22G.G920FXXU1AODG

Phone was from Vodafone but unlocked still on the stock rom

Details if it helps others

All sync on, using lux to set brightness at 20% ( more than enough for me), photos set to backup when plugged in only, so over night

I don't have Facebook app or messenger app, using urban theme from Samsung store (free)

What's app and browsing all day long. Mixture of wifi and 3G/4G also Bluetooth in car.

It's a new phone so naturally using it more, turning off and on more

Tbh 5.5hrs on this battery size is pretty impressive , why oh why did they not put a 3000mah in the s6, maybe would have been the perfect phone?

I use a s5 for work and I can't stand it. The s6 However is in a different league imo

Look's like the phone was constantly in use, it's good but without knowing exactly what you doing it's hard these too seriously.

After a normal work day, using data, radio, music, internet and some light gaming I'm constantly finishing at around 4h SOT.

Okay, that makes perfect sense, 20% brightness is probably the key there.

lmfy2k · 1 Jun 2015 at 09:44

Yep, thought I'd try 20% as a test , normally I let lux do auto.

Thanks for the info

It seems the phone is sim free after reading more closely.

Realised it is nano sim though, so will have to make a trip to the three shop to get a new sim.

Looking forward to getting this now..
