I don't normally come in on iOS vs Android arguments as it's generally like arguing about colours with a blind man, but wth.
I left Apple for an S6 Edge after having every iPhone from the 3GS onwards and I'm considerably more impressed with Samsung. I have no issue with the battery life. Several days out using the phone quite a bit for browsing and photos then using it to stream music in the car on the way home have left it with ample battery come bedtime. It wouldn't do another day, but it made it through the day and that's all I need from a phone. There's less bloatware than on an iPhone and what there is is more useful, marginally, but still more useful. The screen and camera knock the iPhone 6 into a cocked hat - I haven't seen the 6S, but from how far ahead the Edge is then it's still not going to be as good. Coming from Apple the lack of external storage and removable battery didn't concern me in the slightest.
This is a great price for a great phone, but I'd say push for the 64GB version if you can stretch to it. More storage is always good

Rubbish. Can bet you've never even touched one. There was almost no bloatware on mine and all unwanted apps can be hidden.

Because I always use that Stock app that iOS installs and wont allow me to remove, or newstand, or anything else I can't remember since owning an iPhone!

I agree with Shaky and I'm about as far from an Apple fanboi as you can get!
There are better Android based phones than this and cheaper.
Every Samsung tablet / phone that's ever passed through this household has ended up with a custom ROM on it. Most of them are pretty great after that. I'm especially impressed with my son's SG Tab S 8.4 with CM12.1.

Good price, and high end for a good few years.

it's pretty bloatware free actually, and also allows you to remove a lot of pre installed stuff. Great phone, good price.

I only just get through the day with the OnePlus One battery so I'd not stand a chance with the S6 battery. Nice looking phone at a decent price if you're a light user or can charge at work/portable battery pack.
