Samsung Galaxy S6 & Edge S6: Price, Specifications & Availability
Samsung has finally launched the next Galaxy flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S6 along with the most anticipated Galaxy S6 Edge at the MWC 2015 in Barcelona. In a head-on challenge to Apple’s popular iPhone 6 which was released last year, Samsung came out fighting today with the Galaxy S6, a smartphone with a touchscreen that curves around the edges and has a wireless charger. It also presented the larger S6 Edge, a “Phablet” somewhere between a tablet and a phone in size.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is more unique than the curved display Note Edge, due to its dual-edge Quad HD display that wraps around both sides of the smartphone, instead of just the right side of the Note Edge. The flagship smartphones also share the same high-end premium materials and internal specs.
Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge will be available globally starting April 10 and will be available in 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB storage variants. Company says that the, Galaxy S6 Edge has the "world's first curved display on both sides." They also touted that both the handsets have been "beautifully crafted from metal and glass."
Both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge feature 5.1-inch Quad HD (1440x2560 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 577ppi. The only difference being the latter sports a dual-edge display.
The new Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge run Android 5.0 Lollipop and feature a 14nm octa-core mobile processor with 64-bit capability. The company writes, "The world's first 14nm mobile processor with 64-bit platform, new LPDDR4 memory system and UFS 2.0 flash memory provides higher performance and enhanced memory speed with lower power consumption."
Both the handsets are powered by octa-core (quad-core 2.1GHz+ quad-core 1.5GHz) processor (chipset not specified, possibly Exynos) coupled with 3GB of RAM (LPDDR4).
There is a 16-megapixel rear camera with OIS (optical image stabilisation) and LED flash while there is a 5-megapixel front camera on board. Both the handsets come with a slew of camera features such as quick launch, tracking AF, auto real-time HDR, f/1.9, IR detect white balance, low light video, high clear zoom, virtual shot, slow motion, fast motion, pro mode, and selective focus.
Similar like Sasung Galaxy S5, the Galaxy handsets also consists of ingerprint scanning with an enhanced touch-type fingerprint scanner on the home button. Also, the handsets will come pre-installed with upgraded Samsung Knox. The Galaxy S6 is backed by a 2550mAh battery while the Galaxy S6 Edge comes with 2600mAh battery.
For connectivity, both the handset support LTE Cat. 6 that supports up to 300Mbps of download speed. Both phones support wireless charging built-in, with support for WPC and PMA standards. The fast charging batteries charge (only when wired) 1.5 times faster than that on the Galaxy S5, and provide about 4 hours of usage after only 10 minutes of charging.
The company announced that the new Galaxy smartphones will come in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, Blue Topaz (Galaxy S6) and Green Emerald (Galaxy S6 edge only).
