But no sd card, not sure about that gamble, especially with a 4k video recorder.
Its eye watering how much space a 4k video takes up, truly frightening that 60 minutes of 4k could fill this nearly.

I said it before and will repeat.....they BOTH look absolutely brilliant....
Of course they do, but I'm retracting my "looks like an iPhone " comment from earlier as I forgot that Apple nicked that design from xperia z's and htc one.
So in fact, Samsung are just taking it back for the droids.

Funny thing though, take a picture of the S6 then mark out the iPhone 6 screen resolution on it overlapping
So. Much. Inferior!
Soooooo.... @viridis you have already said you could see yourself moving to Samsung if Sony doesn't do something fancy by comparison. Would you then be going for the 128gb version of this phone?

Do share any info you find out @viridis
So it looks like there were some great reveals over the weekend and I'm glad to see many are happy with the Samsung specs! I certainly am
A big thanks to @Chris_K for covering this!
