After 8 hours setting up and playing with it, here are the few things that really stick out:
It feels great in the hand. Actually, it feels great overall. The front glass is chamfered on the sides, allowing your finger to gently slide off the edge. In contrast, the S5 had a faux chrome band that created a lip on the edges. Nothing on the S6 digs into your hand - it's comfortable in every aspect.
The screen is as nice as advertised. As I'm typing this on the S6, the words really look like letters on a printed page.
I haven't messed around too much with the camera, but the couple of low light pics I took came out great. These are the kinds of lighting conditions that were so far past the limit of S5's capabilities that I never even bothered to take them in the past. Again, as good as advertised.
There's nothing majorly different about the dimensions of the S5 and S6 - 1.4mm thinner and 2mm narrower. And yet the S5 feels like a brick in comparison.
Fingerprint scanner is da bomb. Haven't missed once and it unlocks almost instantly.
I'll follow up tomorrow when I get my Google Cardboard.
