S6 S7 times are the peak smartphone era. I recently upgraded from Flip3 to Note 23 Ultra and honestly if not for the cameras and S Pen I’d say it wasn’t even an upgrade. Definitely not worth it
My first ever flagship phone I owned as a Galaxy S8, and it was used, and was about 2 years old at the time. I switched from my Alcatel phone, shouldn't need to say why, but that S8 was really something else, and I loved it even though it had slight screen burn when I bought it one small area in the lower half of the screen. I replaced that S8 a few years later with the S10+ which I am currently typing this out on, but I did have an S22 Ultra for about a week recently, but had to send it back because it had screen burn, and for the price I paid for it, it wasn't worth having the screen replaced because at that point I would have spent the same amount of money to have simply bought a brand new one. Within the next few weeks though, I plan to have a Galaxy S23 Ultra, and this old S10+ will no longer be a daily driver phone, but be used for some things here and there.
1. My first was a mixed bag: I had a S3 Triband in 2014, but by the time that version came out, the S3 as a whole was already two years out from being a flagship, as the S5 was the current one. So technically, it wasn't a flagship anymore. Eventually had to "sidegrade" to a J3 Emerge before upgrading to an S7...then a Note8...then the S10+...and now my S22 Ultra & A32 5G. 2. You, sir, are a braaave man. The S6 family was Samsung's first effort to ditch the micro SD card that met with massive backlash. Me personally, I would prefer the Note5, but the only way I would get it is if it was the penultimate proverbial white whale: the 128GB version, which was the top tier storage option back then...and has been nearly impossible to find for years after the fact.
When this specific model came out, I was working for AT&T , I remember sitting in a meeting and our boss passed this phone around to us letting us see the new release and we all were holding it like it was the Holy Grail.
I have the S7 edge still works good ,can run mid tier games and good enough , although it's lags often ,I have S23 ultra now so don't use s7 now but still like how they packed the phone with top specs in such a thin phone at that time .
I've replaced my S6 Plus with other phones over time, however I have used the S6 in electronics repair/assembly work as a poor man's digital microscope. The camera on this phone in microscope work in high zoom is exceptional in quality. Since the S6 I've had S9, S20 and currently S21. None of those newer and 'better' phones have a camera that gives such image quality with low noise. They have noise through the roof and their image is not sharp like the S6. It has been rocking in this kind of work for a good half a decade and still working well. If it would happen to break, I will buy another S6 Plus to replace it.
I'm still using this phone😁 It hasn't been repaired at all, not even a battery replacement🤣 I even dropped it in my dogs water bowl and after some rice that saved it it still works like magic😁
Same here, the S6 was my first flagship in 2021 as it got tortured by my parents for most of its life. At one point it fell in water and the back button stopped working because of my dad. I got it and I basically put the last nail in its coffin as my clumsy ass shattered the camera glass and smashed half of the display glass until I got an a32 like 6 months later (I hate the a32 btw after the 9 months that it survived)
I miss the elegant, jewelry-like glass finishing like S6 or S7. It truly feels like you holding an expensive phone ✨️
I currently use a s7 as my main phone and it still runs perfectly and is probs better than some cheap unlocked phone for like $200 phone from the supermarket. (I got this phone $150 locally.)

My first ever flagship phone I owned as a Galaxy S8, and it was used, and was about 2 years old at the time. I switched from my Alcatel phone, shouldn't need to say why, but that S8 was really something else, and I loved it even though it had slight screen burn when I bought it one small area in the lower half of the screen. I replaced that S8 a few years later with the S10+ which I am currently typing this out on, but I did have an S22 Ultra for about a week recently, but had to send it back because it had screen burn, and for the price I paid for it, it wasn't worth having the screen replaced because at that point I would have spent the same amount of money to have simply bought a brand new one. Within the next few weeks though, I plan to have a Galaxy S23 Ultra, and this old S10+ will no longer be a daily driver phone, but be used for some things here and there.
One thing that Apple does well is the iPhone SE line, if Samsung were to make a modern phone with the Note 3s design, I would buy it instantly.
i am watching this right now on my samsung galaxy s6 edge, have it since 6 years and don't miss anything
1. My first was a mixed bag: I had a S3 Triband in 2014, but by the time that version came out, the S3 as a whole was already two years out from being a flagship, as the S5 was the current one. So technically, it wasn't a flagship anymore. Eventually had to "sidegrade" to a J3 Emerge before upgrading to an S7...then a Note8...then the S10+...and now my S22 Ultra & A32 5G.
2. You, sir, are a braaave man. The S6 family was Samsung's first effort to ditch the micro SD card that met with massive backlash. Me personally, I would prefer the Note5, but the only way I would get it is if it was the penultimate proverbial white whale: the 128GB version, which was the top tier storage option back then...and has been nearly impossible to find for years after the fact.
Back then getting a phone was so exciting! After covid era it’s like the time just keeps going so fast with no real excitement going
S6 was fantastic, S7 was peak but I felt that having Micro USB instead USB-C was a bit disappointing for a 2016 phone but great device in general
I wish they would have released the s6 edge in Emerald green in the states...it was absolutely stunning!
When this specific model came out, I was working for AT&T , I remember sitting in a meeting and our boss passed this phone around to us letting us see the new release and we all were holding it like it was the Holy Grail.
I had this phone yesterday but I finally bought a new one and this one is SOOOOO much better😭
Just got a simlocked S7 for only $30. Planning on using it as a secondary phone or installing a rom
I have the S7 edge still works good ,can run mid tier games and good enough , although it's lags often ,I have S23 ultra now so don't use s7 now but still like how they packed the phone with top specs in such a thin phone at that time .
I think my first Samsung flagship is the Samsung Galaxy S8. I still use it and it's a solid phone, it gets the job done.
I've replaced my S6 Plus with other phones over time, however I have used the S6 in electronics repair/assembly work as a poor man's digital microscope. The camera on this phone in microscope work in high zoom is exceptional in quality. Since the S6 I've had S9, S20 and currently S21. None of those newer and 'better' phones have a camera that gives such image quality with low noise. They have noise through the roof and their image is not sharp like the S6. It has been rocking in this kind of work for a good half a decade and still working well. If it would happen to break, I will buy another S6 Plus to replace it.
Damn, this brings so much memories when i got this phone as a surprize
im still using s7, works like a charm for a good 5 years so far, literally not a scratch on glass and everythings still run fast.
I'm still using this phone😁 It hasn't been repaired at all, not even a battery replacement🤣
I even dropped it in my dogs water bowl and after some rice that saved it it still works like magic😁
Emerald green S6 edge was the phone that I never had. That phone was gorgeous as hell.
I really like your videos because the way you talk is really easy to understand. English isn't my first language.
i'm still using my s7 edge right now. After so manyyy years the curved design still lit🔥 and it's so thin
Samsung s6 and s9 were Peak Samsung design
S3 ... my first samsung flagship... used to run vainglory and was so happy
Samsung S7 was a gem
Same here, the S6 was my first flagship in 2021 as it got tortured by my parents for most of its life. At one point it fell in water and the back button stopped working because of my dad. I got it and I basically put the last nail in its coffin as my clumsy ass shattered the camera glass and smashed half of the display glass until I got an a32 like 6 months later (I hate the a32 btw after the 9 months that it survived)
The way you wacked the box out the packaging was so satisfying
