The Samsung Galaxy Galaxy preferred S5 S6 by Consumer Reports – LesMobiles.com

The Consumer Reports consumer association has just published a report in which it questions the lack of practical features on the Samsung Galaxy S6 as waterproofing, removable battery and ‘MicroSD slot. It also regrets his too strong resemblance to the iPhone 6.

Formalized in early March, Samsung Galaxy S6 experienced right out some critical success with specialists. He even occupied the center stage in his brother the Galaxy Edge S6, at the last Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

But the Samsung flagship would not be for some tastes, to start by Consumer Reports. The consumer association says indeed prefer his predecessor, the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S6 is yet offers the latest components: premium design, octa-core 64-bit processor Exynos 7420 Quad HD display … It even holds first place in a recent ranking published by AnTuTu ranking the most powerful smartphones market.

The lack of convenient features into question

Yes, but these performance does not impress Consumer Reports, which prefers to focus on the weaknesses of the unit. The association denounces indeed the decision to get the Samsung smartphone design before its functional aspect. And many useful features present in its predecessor are indeed absent on the Galaxy S6, as watertight and dustproof, the removable battery or the microSD slot.

Another weakness is highlighted: its autonomy. The new flagship of the brand does not really excels in this area, when the Galaxy S5 obtained good results. The Galaxy S6 however compensates for this by allowing the quick recharging and wireless.

A Galaxy S6 that looks too much like the iPhone 6

The consumer association goes even further by addressing even the design of the device. She said the Galaxy S6 looks too much like the iPhone 6: “ new models have become much more” iPhone-like “than previous ”

Consumer Reports also indicated. that the decision by Samsung to dispense with removable battery and microSD port could influence other manufacturers who might opt ​​for the same strategy.

But unfortunately for the association, the fineness of the devices has become a major challenge for all manufacturers, not just Samsung. These indeed seem to want to spend all dispensable components with the aim of making their finest possible terminals. The return to the MicroSD removable batteries and other ports is therefore unlikely to be anytime soon on high-end smartphones …
