How does the game perform on a Samsung Galaxy S6?

Hi, I'm thinking about changing my phone to a Samsung Galaxy S6 or S7. Which one it will be also depends on the question above. If you have a Galaxy S6, please share your experiences.

I play on an S6 and don't have any complaints. I never drop from raids and can solo most of the T3 raids with very limited lag. Battery life could be a bit better but gameplay is solid.

Hi, I believe all S6 is equipped with Samsung processor (exynos) and should perform well. I used a note 4 (exynos version) and it performs great and was released half a year before S6.

I've played Pokemon Go for about a year on the S6 and it works like a train. No complains, ask me anything you want. Could possibly fall a sleep in a bit, but will look it up tomorrow when I wake up.

Only major disadvantage was the battery that really declined in performance after a while. But I guess goes for all the phones these days. Currently on a S8. Significantly larger screen, found it slightly easier to catch on the S6.

I have neither, but everyone that has played this game will realize that it drains batteries. I started playing this game with an S5--pretty sure Samsung purposely gave that phone a battery that would hold charge for 18 months...right around the time customers "needed" a phone upgrade. I bet they were called on that scheme and subsequently improved their batteries, but consider buying both an additional external battery and in time an additional internal battery

Thanks for all the great responses. I've had had some issues on my old phone (Huawei Ascend P7) lately, especially during the legendary event. Like catching was super laggy and raiding even worse.
So I think it will be the S6 as there are no problems with all of that stuff. Thanks a lot!

S7 overheats with regular play for 2-3 hrs continuously, esp. in warm weather. You need S8+, for quality play.

S7 must better than S6 in terms of battery life and performance. But as above written will heat up for long play..

I've been using an s7 for most of the game. Its a little laggy compared to my gfs iPhone. But hers crashes sometimes randomly and mine never does. But it does get hot enough to melt your face off.

In addition on above, s8 also overheats. S6 doesn't for some reason, but can't believe s7 is worse than a s6.

S7 works great for me coming from the S5 which was slow, my S7 rarely heats up and stays connected.
