The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a year old now, but it still beats a lot of contenders
to be fifth in this list. It houses a very good, 16MP camera with OIS, is
powered by the Exynos 7420 SoC, and the combination of these two factors makes
it an excellent overall device. It features an excellent 5.1-inch AMOLED
display panel with 2560x1440-pixel resolution. The glass and metal construction
laid foundation for Samsung’s resurgence on the design front. The Galaxy S6 is
available in 32GB and 64GB variants, and 3GB of RAM on board handles all kinds
of heavy multitasking.
