Overall Great Phone!
Carrier: Sprint
I should start by letting you know I am one of those people who never gives a top rating for anything...something about there always being room for improvement or some nonsense like that.
With that being said, I do LOVE this phone! I am with Sprint, so the knock on reception isn't really the phone's fault. I'll note two issues I did have with the phone before listing the several things I really like.
Cons:
-Not waterproof (resistant).
Motorolla has shown that you don't have to place rubber gaskets on everything, like Samsung did with the S5, to make it water resistant...living in the rainy Pacific NW this would have been a nice feature.
-What's up with the wireless charging?
The S6 and S6 Edge work with the standard Samsung branded wireless charger, but the S6 Edge+ and Note 5 require a special wireless charger?
Pros:
-Huge, beautiful screen.
-Great camera with lots of options and settings (Including easy to use Selfie Mode!)
-Very functional SPen
-Wireless Charging (Yes, even though I had to buy a special one)
-Quick Charge!
-The new Gold Platinum color is awesome...and I'm a man
-FAST!!!

I love the S-Pen and its air command using the action memo, smart select and screen write. I don't believe i can own a phone without it.
