Yeah battery was the biggest issue for me that stopped me paying the top flagship dollar for S6, I'm still on Note 3 which frankly has a great battery life which would be expected with a large battery that it houses. I'm very much with the crowd that would rather sacrifice a few mm in design thickness for a decent battery but we appear to be getting pushed towards thinner the better design now.
I'm actually rather upset with their decision to release the S6 Edge Plus and deny Note 5 for most of the European market to test how a simple enlarged version of the S6 would do. It's also insulting that Note 4 is still getting pushed as a flagship phone over here when there is a newer version available in other markets which they simple refused to release here because of the S6 Edge Plus. There is info that Note 5 may finally land officially in the UK in January but it will both lack the dual sim functionality and again cost top money for what is frankly an "outdated" phone now which again is a bit of a kick in the teeth from Samsung.

I bought one in store today, and despite pointing out the charger offer, the assistant insisted that if it was included it would be in the box. Phone turns up in small box so didnt expect charger to be included. Asked another assstant who said that i needed to ordr the charger separately if i wanted it - as if i wouldn't.
They sorted it out once i gave them the item number.

I got this deal from Argos on Friday, didn't know about the free charger deal but they told me at the checkout that it was out of stock but I could call to collect it on/after 22nd December. When I checked the receipt there was no record of the free charger to allow me to return for the collection but a very helpful assistant managed to do a bit of digging to locate one so please do persist as this offer is definitely available.

I bought the S6 32gb Black from Argos lakeside last weekend for £360, paid abit more than Amazon as I knew I would get a UK version and a sealed box and wanted this deal so popped back into my local store this afternoon to explain about the price reduction etc, they refunded me £10 and I kept the same phone and I am collecting the wireless charger on Tuesday when they are expecting the chargers to arrived so very pleased. Extremely helpful and friendly customer service in the Hornchurch Branch.

Read that as "S6 Plus" and thought this was a deal of the week heh.

I did too, as Samsung did a Plus version of their S5. They could as there was a better chipset to go to, there's no better chipset option for phones than the Exynos in the S6 so I can't see a Plus version coming out. I think they'll be concentrating on getting the stuff right that the S6 got wrong. I have an S6 and whilst it has stellar hardware it has one of the worst Android releases Lollipop, which is dire and the phone will be getting on for a year old by the time Marshmallow comes out. I can't wait to get rid of my S6, maybe I'll change my mind when Marshmallow is released on it. The main issue for me with the S6 is the terrible OS and the dreadful battery life. I can't wait for Marshmallow and then to custom ROM the phone.
The thread includes some of the information and hassle you need to go through to get better battery life, and I'm not doing any of that until Marshmallow comes out.
The S6 is not a phone I can recommend currently because of the two massive flaws I've mentioned above.

just got my s6 32gb from pixmania for £308 inc delivery this week. Might be worth checking there if you are not too fussed about it being a European model, it has worked fine my end really fast delivery.

I think the OP meant S6 + (Plus) Charger. The title should probably be editted to avoid confusion. :smiley:

I got this phone but didn't get the special offer of charger. Would I be able to go in with my receipt and get the charger or have I no hope?
