The new models – Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge - have been built from scratch and look quite promising. While they are yet to enter the Indian market, several tech critics across the world have already got their hands on the dainty devices. Here’s what the tech critics have to say.
Samsung has addressed the major criticism against its flagship lineup, which is its design. The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge have metal frames and glass bodies both on the front and back. The S6 is 6.8 mm thin and weighs 138g, while the S6 Edge is 7.0mm and weighs 132g. Moreover, the S6 Edge has a great design, which is both refreshing and different.
Looks like, the effort has paid off. “The Galaxy S6 is a stunning device that is as equally pleasing to hold as it is to look at. If you had told me a year ago I would use the word “stunning” to describe a Galaxy phone, I would have called you crazy,” says Joanna Stern of
However, she adds in the review that, “There is really no logical reason to buy the Edge. You can tap its side for notifications and other information when the main screen is off, but that wasn’t too helpful. Like with designer sunglasses, you’re mostly paying to look cooler.”
The Samsung Galaxy S6 sports a 5.1 Quad HD Super AMOLOED display with 2560 X 1440 resolution which comes to a very high 577ppi pixel density. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge also sports a 5.1 Quad HD Super AMOLED but with dual edge display. Both use Corning Gorilla Glass 4 for protection. As usual, Samsung has nailed it with the display quality. The devices have been lauded for the efficiency of the AMOLED displays, colour accuracy and contrast ratio.
“This is the first time we’ve seen this kind of brightness level on an AMOLED phone, and it really helps boost the clarity of the screen and keeps colours looking punchy when you’re out and about. This will be good news for anyone who travels a lot or primarily uses their phone outside, as it effectively combines the best features of both AMOLED and LCD screen technology, explains Expertreviews.
The devices run the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop and come with a 16MP rear camera along with a 5MP front facing camera. Some of the other features on the camera include Tracking AF, Auto Real-time HDR (Front & Rear), Aperture F1.9, Low Light Video (Front & Rear), High Clear Zoom, IR Detect White Balance, Virtual Shot, Slow Motion, Fast Motion, Pro Mode and Selective Focus.
