It\u2019s understandable. You pride yourself on not being the type of person who always needs the latest and greatest gadgets. And you and your old phone have been through a lot: It still has all those grainy vacation selfies of your head blocking out some notable landmark. And with all the latest and supposedly greatest phones coming and going, it\u2019s nice to feel the security that old faithful is still getting the job done. But it\u2019s time to get serious. That relic has got to go. What should you replace it with? How about a new Samsung Galaxy S6? It\u2019s okay to be scared of new things. But it\u2019s time to take the leap to a new phone, and here a few reasons why the Samsung Galaxy S6 is the phone you\u2019ve been waiting for.<\/p>\n
For a start, do you remember when your old phone\u2019s little screen wasn\u2019t all cracked and broken? No. Of course not, because it\u2019s been cracked since 15 minutes after you got it, when you dropped it on the pavement for the first of what would turn out to be many, many times. Well, the Galaxy S6, at only \u00bc of an inch thick and weighing less than 5 ounces, will feel a little bit daintier than your old clunker, but don\u2019t worry: This is no delicate flower. The Galaxy S6 is built from aluminum encased in rugged, shatter-resistant Gorilla Glass 4. So when you drop the Galaxy S6 15 minutes after you get it–and let\u2019s face it, you know you\u2019re definitely going to, butterfingers–it\u2019s sure to survive.<\/p>\n
Speaking of screens, no, the Galaxy S6 is not closer to your face. It\u2019s just that the Galaxy S6\u2019s high-definition AMOLED Quad HD screen measures 5.1 inches, which is way bigger than the dim, puny screen on your old phone. A ridiculous 577 pixels per inch, and a brightness of 600cd\/mm adds up to a screen so bright and colors so bold it might take a minute for your eyes to adjust. But once you get used to it, you’ll appreciate it for what it is: A beautiful display.<\/p>\n

Sure, the Galaxy S6\u2019s main camera–armed with a 16 megapixel Sony Exmor RS IMX240 sensor, and assisted by some tweaks to the photo algorithms and a better f\/1.9 lens–could be the best camera available on any smartphone anywhere, and it certainly will blow away whatever single-digit-megapixel camera on your old phone. The image stabilization and the HDR and the 1080p video are all great, but let\u2019s get down to what\u2019s really important: The 5 megapixel front camera is going to completely up your selfie game. It\u2019s even got a wide-angle lens, so you can look thinner, or finally get a picture of a landmark that isn\u2019t blocked by your head. But you may have to adjust the way you arrange your drunk friends to exclude the people you don\u2019t want in your group selfie. And the quick-load camera function will ensure that you get the picture before you drop your phone, which, again, we all know you will. You have gotten really good at dropping things.<\/p>\n

Samsung has also incorporated wireless charging technology, so one place that you might WANT to drop your phone is on any WPC or PMA-supported charging pad. As for wired charging, it happens in a flash, providing 4 hours of use after only a 15 minute charge.<\/p>\n
You know how long it takes for your old phone to go from taking a picture of your food, to posting it, and then to searching the web to find out if kimchi is gluten-free? Well that won\u2019t be a problem anymore. Not with Galaxy S6\u2019s octa-core (yes, \u201cocta\u201d) Exynos processor. This first-of-its-kind, lightning-fast processor, coupled with a trimmed-down version of the Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system and 3GB of RAM, ensures operation so smooth you won\u2019t even have time to think about how long it used to take you to do–well, anything really–on your old phone.<\/p>\n
This next part you might need to sit down for. There have been a lot of changes in the world of smartphones since you last upgraded. For instance, the Galaxy S6 has a fingerprint scanner for identification. Mind-blowing, right? Well not really. They\u2019ve had these for a while, but previous ones didn\u2019t work as well as this new one. Soon you will also be able to use Samsung\u2019s new mobile payment service, called SamsungPay to make payments from your phone. If this makes you nervous–and you can check that using the heart monitor. Yes, there is a heart monitor on your new phone–don\u2019t worry. The Galaxy S6 also features Samsung KNOX, a mobile security platform to keep your stuff secure.<\/p>\n
\nSo why choose to replace your old phone with a Samsung Galaxy S6 and not one of the other smartphones on the market? Well in the end, you\u2019ll have the fastest phone, with the brightest display, and the best available camera. And since you\u2019ll probably be hanging on to it for a while, why not choose the best?<\/p>\n
