SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 AND S6 EDGE
It's been exactly one year since the showcase of the Samsung Galaxy S5.The S5 was a hit or a miss badge with it.This time Samsung comes from ground up with the next Galaxy. Samsung like it's previous Note unpacked released two Galaxies , the S6 and the S6 Edge.As both the S6 and the S6 Edge are quite similar , so we will discuss it both at the same time. Let's where these two flagships will take Samsung.
Samsung kicked off the conference with the design element and mainly keeping focus on it.Samsung kept focus on the design and calling it "Design for purpose". Samsung has designed both the S6 and the S6 edge from the bottom . While looking at it it looks like the traditional design , but when it's held it has a much better felling in the hand than it's predecessors. But the sides are designed with metal and not plastic with metal covering on it, which makes it to have a good grip. The back on the other hand is shiny slippery and supports with Gorilla glass 4.The bottom looks identical to the iPhone 6.The phone is 6.8 mm thin and the bezels are also reduced substantially.Overall the phone feels more better than the usual Samsung Galaxies.
Speaking of the display the both the S6 and the S6 edge sport a 5.1 inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display. The display has a resolution of 2560 X 1440 with a pixel density of 577 PPI. The display looks like a super white paper and the content on it looks super sharp.The display is super bright and has great contrast and color saturation is top of the line. This is Samsung at it's best.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge both are rocking a 16 MP sensor. It has a f1.9 lens and supporting it the Optical Image Stabilization feature.Which make it super fast and more sharper.The camera performance need to be tested in low light , but looks like it may handle that glitch very well.The camera setting are also quite easy to find and a Lehman user can change it quickly.There is also a shortcut button , you can double tap the home button and the camera opens in just merely 0.7 seconds.
The front camera or the selfie camera has a 5MP sensor .There is a IR sensor at the back to help you trigger the shutter which is handy during selfies.The camera has a wide 120 degree lens for the group selfies.
Now lets go to performance , the S6 and the S6 edge both have a 64 bit Octa core processor under the hood. Supporting it is 3GB DDR4 RAM which yields 80% better performance than DDR3.This time no expandable memory slot which is quite a disappointment ,you have to choose from 32, 64 or 128GB variants.Samsung has introduced the built in wireless charging and IR blaster.The Samsung has really improved in the fingerprint sensor , now just touch and no more swiping.
Speaking of the battery the S6 sports a 2550mAh while the S6 Edge sports a 2600mAh battery. Samsung claims to have improved the fast charging technology , which gives 4 hrs of battery juice with charging of just 10 minutes. But this time Samsung has made the battery not replaceable like the usual.
Now main reason why people getaway with Samsung is it's TouchWiz layer on Android. TouchWiz is known to make phones slow and is basically "ugly" . Samsung has redone the TouchWiz it looks like the same in spite of it been on Lollipop. But surprisingly the TouchWiz has really improved on it's performance , it feels much smoother and more faster.
So What's New in the Edge ?
Samsung introduced it's Edge in the Note 4 series.The Note 4 Edge had only one Edge but with the S6 there are two edges at both the sides. So it fells more comfortable for the left-hand users too.This time the Edge phone looks a little better than the single Edge design.
Now the Edge has the same clock and little tweaks for the Edge display.The new Edge feature is the people's Edge. You can have your recent contacts and just a swipe from right can make them appear . You can call that contact or even email it. And if you get a call from that contacts the edge will light up with specific color assigned to that contact. However you cannot customize more than that , if Samsung allowed to have favourite apps that would be more productive.
Both the Edges have a Super AMOLED display and don't feel weird when looking at the main screen with full video on. However Samsung needs to add more functionality to the edges , and we hope we see it in the near future.
