How to Supplement Galaxy S6 MicroSD Card Slot lack
When Samsung finally unveiled its Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 in March, everybody was fascinated by the sleek looks of the new handsets. We cannot deny the fact that Samsung is offering us a premium phone with a sturdy aluminum frame in the Galaxy S6 and an elegant look, but the omission of two important features is more than disappointing.
