No touch screen issues at all. The leather feels very nice. Not as slippery as the plastic cover that comes with the phone.

I am using 32G, but it can accommodate up to 2TB. But I think those arent available yet.

I'm using a 32GB. I've never really needed more than that before on a phone.

Yep. Damn it's a pretty device.
How much did you pay for the xtra battery and charge cradle?
Was free with the phone
welcome Dryfannie.
looking forward to the review.
after a week with mine I can say I have never ever been this happy.
I charge in the morning when I wake up at am, and take it off when I leave the house at 8am.
I listen to the radio/music on the bike for my ride to work
I take about 5 smoke breaks a day where I sit and play around. either a game, or I check reddit/twitter
then I leave at 5 and listen to radio/music while I ride home.
so far I have been getting home to above 50% each day. I then sit and watch youtube on wifi for an hour or so. normally go to bed with about 37%. I leave the wifi on all night and then repeat the next morning.
I am sad mtn did not give the extra battery packs like Vodacom did, but I am not seeing a need yet.
the SO plays less during the day, and watches less YouTube at night. and she is only charging every second day.
because I had so many issues with the S4 and its battery life I am very impressed with this battery.

From what I have read on reviews in Stuff and GSM Arena:
Pluses for:
S6:
Fingerprint lock/unlock - and it works well.
Slightly faster than G4 as its using the 810 chipset compared to the 808 of the G4. This includes both CPU and GPU speed.
Better build quality. Samsung has learnt from their mistakes and this new model is of a very high build quality and material. No plastic here.
G4:
Bigger screen. 5.5 inch vs 5.1 inch.
More options in the camera. Full camera controls. Camera might also be slightly better but this is not confirmed by all reviews yet.
Removable battery.
SD card slot

With light usage. The few calls (total about 40min), plenty of Whatsapp Messages, a bit of facebook, couple of photos,etc. And mine is still on 82%. I took it off charge this morning at about 9:45.

Give it a bit of time then. Mine was fine from the start.
