Samsung’s Galaxy S6 is the best Android phone of 2015 so far, although we’ve yet to see what’s to come from the LG G4 and Sony Xperia Z4. It’s fast, it’s well built, it has a gorgeous screen and the software isn’t overly intrusive. The fingerprint scanner is vastly improved, the heart-rate scanner a potential draw for some users, and the wireless- and fast charging welcome inclusions. We’d like to see the price come down (which we are sure it will) and it’s a shame we’ve lost the removable battery, waterproofing and microSD support, but these are all things we can live with.

With the Galaxy S6, Samsung finally marries high-end components with high-end design and polish, delivering a top-of-the-line flagship that truly shines. Inside and out, it's a stunner, and although it has the price tag to match, the Galaxy S6 handily warrants the investment. It's the finest Android phone I've ever put my hands on. True, legacy users who appreciated the swappable batteries and expandable storage of the previous models will rightly be frustrated, and perhaps turn their attention to the upcoming LG G4—or a flagship with just the microSD slot, like the HTC One M9. For everyone else, however, the Galaxy S6 is the phone to beat in 2015.
