The sound is where the S6 loses to its main rival, the One M9. The HTC One M8 ran rings around last year’s Galaxy S5 for sound, and now that the rematch is on, the result is still the same. The S6 Edge’s speakers are tiny, tinny and should be avoided at all costs. The software is another slam dunk. If you have any money left after buying the thing, invest in a cool Bluetooth speaker like the UE Boom to get the most out of your music. Proprietary menus are long gone, gaudy icons are sleek and stock and the only thing that’s really there to bother you is the perpetual Flipboard Briefing screen on the far left of the device. Samsung looks to be letting go of its TouchWiz obsession, shipping the S6 Edge into the market with what looks to be as close as we’ve ever had to stock Android 5.0 Lollipop. When you have a little play with it, it feels like Samsung made another Nexus, but, dig a little deeper and you find the TouchWiz beast lurking to make life more than a little annoying for you. At first glance, the new S6 and S6 Edge appear to be less cluttered, but you’ll actually find some 56 applications pre-installed. That’s 6 more than the 50 you’ll find on the Galaxy Note 4! Between the Google Apps you’ll find on every phone (Play Newstand? Come on), Samsung’s apps like S Voice and S Health, the new Microsoft apps like OneDrive (intended to soften the blow of no microSD slot), assorted social apps like Whatsapp and Instagram and carrier apps, there’s a lot of cruft. While it might look and feel that Samsung has pulled back on the bloatware pre-installed on the S6 and S6 Edge, it’s a little more complicated than that under the hood. And despite statements from Samsung that "Samsung has allowed users to remove the pre-installed applications on Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge", the most severe action you can take is "disabling" them. You’re basically opting instead to put them in a sort of stasis, out of sight but not out of storage. This removes them from the app drawer and the homescreen, but not from the phone entirely. So what is different from last time around, software-wise? Not much. The new Lollipop version of Samsung’s TouchWiz Android skin makes it slightly less painful to disable apps in rapid succession.
