Regardless of how much the S6 costs, you definitely get plenty of bang for your buck. Sporting a 5.1” Super AMOLED QHD display, Samsung is offering us one of the best smartphone displays on the market. So if you do invest in the new Samsung Galaxy S6, you’ll be able to console yourself one of the sharpest smartphone displays going.

It’s not just a flashy screen you’re paying for either, with a super-fast Exynos 7420 chipset sitting alongside an octa-core processor, Mali-T760 GPU and 3GB RAM. Also, with built-in storage options rising up to 128GB, you’ll have more than enough room for all of your apps and media.

A 16 megapixel rear mounted camera ensures that all of your Instagram and Snapchat pictures will be looking better than ever as well, whilst a 5 megapixel selfie snapper is also a nice upgrade for previous Samsung users. Finally, with a fast-charging 2,550mAh battery also in tow, you’ll be able to keep your phone topped up throughout the day without longer charging times slowing you down.

Flashy Galaxy S6 design

If you’re going to spend the better part of your monthly salary on a smartphone, it had better look the part! Lucky for you then, the Galaxy S6 is strutting its stuff with a brand new design that’s well worthy of an extra few quid.

Using a full metal construction, the new Samsung Galaxy S6 no longer features a MicroSD card slot, removable battery or IP68 certification. Instead, it boasts one of the best looking smartphone designs ever – something we’re pretty sure people will be happy to trade for.

The Galaxy S6 features a smooth curved look, with the Galaxy S6 Edge even packing the first ever three sided dual-edge display. Also, with both devices keeping their physical home buttons, you’ll still be able to handle your finances with the PayPal certified fingerprint scanner that debuted on the S5.

Finally, for the fashion conscious shoppers out there, you’ll also get a good array of colours to choose from with the S6. Available in black, white, gold and blue – you’ll definitely have a good selection to take your pick from.

Is the Samsung Galaxy S6 price tag worth it?

**How does the S6 compete with its predecessor? **Take a look with our Galaxy S6 vs S5 comparison!

Without a doubt! The Samsung S6 features one of the best sets of specs we’ve seen in any smartphone and is the first Samsung Galaxy device to flaunt a full metal construction. This makes it one of the best value for money Samsung handsets ever.

Also, when compared to its biggest rival, the iPhone 6, the S6 is also substantially cheaper. For example, the largest Samsung model (128GB) is expected to cost £650 sim-free, which is a full £50 cheaper than the 128GB iPhone.

If you’re more interested in the curved screen version of the S6 then you better be ready to pay a pretty penny to get it. Pricing up at £760 sim-free for the 128GB version, Samsung is definitely adding a tax to use those extra screens.

When based on contract, you should also be finding the Samsung Galaxy S6 price ranging between £40-£45 a month, obviously dependant on up-front cost and tariffs. Of course, we aren’t talking budget handset numbers here – but even still, the S6 is looking like a pretty handy deal. It’s worth mentioning as well, that without the MicroSD card slot, you’re stuck with the storage you’re given, so choose wisely.

Hopefully you’re fully prepared to sort out your savings in an effort to pick up Samsung’s latest smartphone! Of course, if you don’t fancy paying too much cash, you can always wait for the price to fall so there’s no rush…
