Background Information
The S6 is Samsung's newest update to the Galaxy mobile phone family. From the front, the S6 is the spitting image of the earlier Galaxy S5, but Samsung opted for a Gorilla Glass back rather than plastic, as well as an aluminum bezel. Other changes include a touch-based fingerprint sensor and a 5.1-inch 1440 x 2560 super AMOLED display. Unfortunately, this sleeker design comes with some tradeoffs—this device does not have a removable battery nor microSD slot.
