Wow, those camera features and tech look even better! 16MP back camera with optical image stabilisation, fast auto focus, object tracking, real-time HDR, impressive low-light performance. Could this be the best camera in a smartphone? It might just be!

So, what does everyone think? Personally I'm not convinced with the curved edges, but I look forward to giving one a go. The S6 does look like a winner to me - it's a big enough advancement over the S5 (and definitely the S4!) that it'd make for a fantastic upgrade choice.

Me? I'm completely torn... I'm not due an upgrade yet (this November) but I change phones nearly as much as I change my underwear. I don't get bored of them, I just want the latest and greatest, and the S6 has me very interested. The display and camera tech alone has me excited for it.

Honestly Chris, Sony better have something amazing up their sleeve or I could quite honestly say my next phone will be a Samsung.
This is advancement, it is innovation and it is amazingly beautiful.
The screen and camera tech are major for me and I take a LOT of pics, sound is a downgrade as i enjoy stereo sound and the quality of the Walkmans latest technology.
