On the bright side, phoning it in on materials keeps the increasingly large phone light. It mixes plastic and a faux leather back for a look that's nice enough on the eyes but feels a little cheap. The physical design of the phone is, like its predecessor, inoffensive. A nice addition is the real-time HDR feature, which combines two different exposures of the same scene in preview mode, so you don't have to wait until after you snap a photo to see if it looks good. Samsung says the focus time is faster, but the camera can still be a touch slow when image stabilization turned on.

While I’m still bitter the Galaxy S5 didn’t receive the treatment in its update to Android 5.0 Lollipop, it’s a neat little touch and yet another reason I can’t wait to get my hands on these new Sammy devices come April 10th.The heartbeat sensor also needs improvement. FYI, the clock app icon only updates upon every screen unlock, so you won’t see it changing before your eyes. Sure we’ve seen something similar in iOS, but it’s the little changes to Android like this that get us excited about new OEM skins like TouchWiz. Unlike previous versions of TouchWiz, these icons now appropriately reflect the actual time and date, right there on the home screen. While I’m still bitter the Galaxy S5 didn’t receive the treatment in its update to Android 5.0 Lollipop, another interesting, albeit, smaller changes being introduced in TouchWiz are new system icons for the calendar (S Planner) and clock applications. We all know Samsung made some interesting changes to TouchWiz for the Galaxy S6, optimizing performance and introducing a more user friendly UI that uses less icons and more text. It’s not the most groundbreaking new “feature” mind you, but we think it was one many might have missed during their short time with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
Mobile World Congress has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean we still don’t have some interesting tidbits from the show to give you.
