The GS6 comes with its own version of triple-click Home to toggle the screen reader on and off. The physical form factor is not the only resemblance between the GS6 and iPhone 6. I also enjoyed using Galaxy TalkBack more than the standard Google TalkBack.

Specification junkies can get the full hardware rundown here.Īs for my personal experience, the Sprint GS6 is without doubt the snappiest, most responsive Android phone I have ever tested. I don't know how these form factor changes will affect their loyalty, if other new Android models follow suit, but as for me, after using the Galaxy S6 I found myself enjoying the Android experience more than ever. Describing their preference for Android over iOS, many Android users cite these very features-expandable memory and user switchable batteries-as major reasons they enjoy the Android experience. This new form factor does not allow for a user replaceable battery. Indeed, with both phones sitting beside one another on my desk, I often picked up one when I meant to grab the other. It's also slightly wider and a few millimeters longer than the iPhone 6, but I found it just as comfortable and well-balanced in my hand as my iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 Home button/fingerprint reader is raised and rectangular the device lacks a dedicated mute button and the rear-facing camera is surrounded by a dime-size extension that is larger than the one on the iPhone 6. With a glass front and back wrapped in a metal bezel, identically placed volume buttons and a lock button just a bit more centered than that on Apple's flagship model, the Galaxy S6 represents a new form factor for Samsung.

To put it most succinctly, the S6 resembles nothing so much as an iPhone 6. Physical Description of the Spring Galaxy S6 The Edge model differs from the standard S6 only in that it has an edge display sighted users can check even when the main screen is not visible. I spent several weeks testing this new version of TalkBack using a Sprint Galaxy S6 (GS6). It's called Galaxy TalkBack, and for now it comes preinstalled on both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge. Like Amazon before them, the company has developed their own, device-specific version of TalkBack. Samsung beat the TalkBack development team to the punch, however. Also, you can now toggle TalkBack off and on by pressing and holding both volume buttons simultaneously. Among the most significant of these is the ability to show local and global context menus in list views, instead of having to explore a circle of options by touch.
