We’ve had more customers come in thanks to the Galaxy S6, but no one has bought it yet. We have plenty of phones in stock, but we’re only allowed to carry 10 of the Galaxy S6 Edge Gold.
If it were me, I’d buy the iPhone 6. The Galaxy S6 battery runs out quickly, and you also have to pay extra for the wireless charging pad.

We’d expect some comments from Galaxy S6 sufferers, but their batteries all died four hours ago. Silly wall-huggers, get a real iPhone!

Dan Sung better get busy, because his brother Sam needs something else to copy. How about setting up exclusive appointments to show folks how to use the S6?

A better response than the S5? You mean the phone that some carriers were offering a buy-one-get-one-free the very first day it was available? Better response than a phone you had to give away to get people to take it?

I like seeing Samsung flounder as much as anyone, but that’s a bad article. It’s just tossing around random facts that don’t even make sense together.
A lot of people will have been put off by the S5, which was a cheesy plastic piece of garbage that started deteriorating after just 6 months or so of use (if the wife’s is anything to go by). Even if the S6 is miles better they’ll have to re-win the disaffected.
