Review of Samsung Galaxy S6
The Samsung s6 has hit the market alongside another flagship from the South Korean company. This model is designed for all those who prefer their device not to have too rounded edges of the screen. After a fingerprint scanner appeared in the Galaxy S5, we're now seeing it in the S6. Here, it works even faster. All you need to do is touch your finger.
