Samsung has done great things with its smartphones and Galaxy S6 is one of them.  It may seem bloated with many extra features you don't even need but it gives the user more and wider scope on what is in front of the device's interface.

One such feature is briefing which widget on full-screen mode and located on the left part of the home screen default.  It can be compared to the BlinkFeed of HTC's One M9 which gives you feeds of scrolling stories from the web for you to browse and read.  All you need to do is hold your finger on any empty part of the phone's home screen then a pop-up will appear of the Galaxy S6's bottom display.

On the apps screen page, it appears better even if there many apps showing.  You can get rid of each app including the Galaxy Apps store and a minus sign will appear on it.  For other apps that won't budge, you can just put them all into one folder to minimize function disruption.

Another amazing feature of the Samsung Galaxy S6 is its wireless charging.  Charging plates Qi/WPC is used and charging may not be as fast as using a cord charger but it will serve its purpose in letting you use your phone much longer.

There is also the updated finger scanner which does not require having your finger placed in the exact angle or place.  Calibration can be done by placing your finger on and off the screen, at any given angle made so the phone can learn your unique fingerprint.

Choosing Basic mode will give you the display setting in the most accurate color especially when taking pictures.

For maximum battery life, Galaxy S6 uses Power Saving mode to take off 5% of the phone's functions.  It switches off vibrating feedback, throttles the CPU, stops notifications and reduces the screen's frame rate.
