Samsung Galaxy S6: 5 defects and solutions – Tecnocino

Galaxy S6 is the best that can offer Samsung Screen Quad-HD , octa-core processor owner. This does not mean that it is free from defects minimum, maybe the ones that make a difference in everyday use: the battery is not removable, there is a slot for memory expansion, not waterproof; Moreover, Samsung has ruled out either that the MHL connectivity USB On The Go, present in the Galaxy S5. We see the 5 faults and solutions.

Memory not expandable

As we know, unlike the previous flagship Galaxy S, this year Samsung has preferred to adopt a strategy dear to Apple: three versions with capacity increasing lack of memory expansion via microSD. How to fix? Not necessarily have to buy an expensive Galaxy S6 64 GB (849 euro) for having more space. For example, you can use the space on Google Drive and OneDrive, both pre-installed, to use the cloud to store photos, videos lighter, music and documents: save space and your main data will be available on each device. You can also buy a wireless player, which lets you use stream the data contained in it via Wi-Fi, which can cost 100 euro with 32 GB of storage expandable via microSD.

Battery not removable

Another difference compared to S5 Galaxy and Galaxy Note 4 : the built-in battery is not removable. This means that you can not carry a fully charged spare battery to be inserted at the appropriate time. To overcome this problem, there are several options. For example, relying on external batteries that recharge through the Galaxy S6 along the way, also officially sold by Samsung. There are also a solution as the Morphie’s Juice Pack, or custody that besides protecting the smartphone against drops the reload.

Water resistance

Although Galaxy S6 does not suffer from hydrophobia, is not resistant to water as an Active Galaxy S5. Probably during the year will come a special edition, Galaxy S6 Active, but in the meantime you can still do your a protective case that allows you to use the phone up to 2 m deep.

Lack of connectivity MHL

Galaxy S6 does not integrate connectivity MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) that allows you to project the screen via a cable microHDMI. You can make up for this lack with a stick Chromecast available in Italy at about 35 Euros, which allows you to transfer video data using a wireless network. Similarly, even a Nexus Player (99 euro) can be useful to stream games, photos and video in addition to music.

Nothing USB On The Go

It seems that even the USB On The Go has been excluded from the Galaxy S6: neither sticks nor keyboards can be connected via cable. There are always alternatives. For keyboards you can buy one with Bluetooth connectivity. In the case of the keys, there are hub with multiple ports, SanDisk or Kingston, for example, that with a few tens of Euros allow you to stream data from a USB stick.
