I’ve had my Samsung S4 for 2 years now so I figured it was time for an upgrade.<\/p>\n

I gave a fleeting thought to an iPhone but figured there’s really nothing that new about them that would drag me back to Apple.<\/p>\n

I’ve been very happy with my Android so I decided to go with a Samsung S6.<\/p>\n

It’s very similar to the S4 and the S5 that Betty got about a month ago with a few extra perks.<\/p>\n

1) \u00c2\u00a0It has an honest to goodness fingerprint reader.<\/p>\n

2) \u00c2\u00a0It has built in induction charging.<\/p>\n

3) \u00c2\u00a0It’s made out of metal and glass instead of plastic.<\/p>\n

4) \u00c2\u00a0It has a REALLY high resolution screen, much more than the iPhone 6.<\/p>\n

5) \u00c2\u00a0It’s got a REALLY good camera that takes low light photos very well and will take 4K video (although I don’t know what to watch it on other than the phone).<\/p>\n

6) \u00c2\u00a0It has an 8-core CPU vs the 2 core iPhone. (although the 2 core iPhone CPU is pretty good)<\/p>\n

All of that plus I’m not shoehorned into the App Store and what Apple thinks I should use.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard the new Samsungs are really locked down but I unrooted my S4 not long after I rooted it and never missed it. \u00c2\u00a0I have a friend at work who says he could never be happy with not being able to change ROMS. \u00c2\u00a0I guess if you live for doing that it’s understandable but if I want to geek out I have my computer.<\/p>\n

I’ll play around with the new phone and report anything that’s super cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
