Redefining the Shape of the Smartphone: The Samsung Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge

Samsung’s stunning new Galaxy S6 series is here, and it promises to reshape the world of smartphones. Over the past year, Samsung has thoroughly redesigned its phones inside and out, from the processors and materials to the exterior of the handset itself. The result is the familiar but substantially upgraded Galaxy S6, as well as the completely revolutionary curved-screen S6 Edge – perhaps the shape of things to come.

With a luxurious metal chassis, a Quad HD Super AMOLED display, and a quality 16 MPx camera, both models are a wonder to behold.  

Excellent Hardware and Powerful Architecture

Samsung has always been known for building its phones with excellent components, and the S6 has the most jaw-dropping specs yet. The 5.1” Super AMOLED display is made of the latest Gorilla Glass and has Quad HD resolution (2560 x 1440) for absolutely unreal clarity and readability, even in direct sunlight. To power the display and demanding Apps, the phone uses an 8-core processor with new 64-bit architecture for seamless video, gaming, and multi-tasking performance.

Below the display is the classic Android control triad, with touch fingerprint recognition for data security and verification.  

The cameras are mighty as well, with a 16 MPx rear camera and a secondary 5 MPx front-facing camera. With an f1.9 aperture, LED Flash, and HDR, your pictures will be sharper and brighter, especially under low-light conditions.

The design is newly slimmed down, but don’t worry about insufficient battery life – the new chipset is optimized for long life. The S6 series also charges rapidly, with a jolt of only 10 minutes giving you 4 hours of additional battery duration. An exciting new feature is built-in inductive wireless charging, with which you can charge your phone merely by laying it flat on a charging surface.  

And the moment you’ve been waiting for…

Of course, the most notable feature of the S6 Edge is the beautifully curved screen. With unique curvature on both sides, it opens up new possibilities for control and viewing. Even when lying face down, you can still see who is trying to contact you with Samsung’s color-coding system.
