WHAT WE LIKE

Galaxy Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge stand out from the competition for some unique technical features. And ‘the case of the screen that extends on both sides of the Galaxy S6 Edge. This is Samsung’s proprietary technology that users have already been able to appreciate the Galaxy Note Edge, the phablet presented along with the Galaxy Note 4 to September 2014. Younghee Lee, Samsung marketing manager, has reprimanded the two top of the range as complete devices thanks “to form a superior viewing and comfortable.”

TECHNOLOGY S6 Edge

We like technology S6 Edge. The screen folded on both sides is undoubtedly the “real” innovation presented by Samsung as well as one of the few truly innovative feature introduced recently in the mobile market. Samsung is holding a solid know-how in the field of LCD and it showed in recent years, the next step is to implement these changes in a better way so as to really improve the user experience. The double folding dell’S6 Edge is less pronounced than single notes on the Edge, this improves the aesthetics of the device but places of question marks on the effectiveness of the technology.

Samsung has decided to use the double fold implementing a system of intelligent notifications can in fact improve the interaction with the smartphone also when the screen is off. Through S6 Edge you can contact their friends, even giving a custom color and, thanks to the new notification system, you can know who has tried, even when the screen is covered.

I FINALLY MATERIALS QUALITY ‘

Samsung Edge S6 and S6 in quality represent a major step forward compared to the past . Galaxy S5 has been proposed to the public with a design rather anonymous and of poor quality materials. Wielding a Galaxy S5 not had the feeling of holding in his hand a product that costs 699 euro. After the initial effect of the sales of the Galaxy S5 suffered a grinding halt for that reason.

Samsung has learned its lesson and has entrusted the design of the new product line to a team completely renovated. The fruits of these changes at the top we saw them with the Galaxy Alpha and the Notes 4 (steel frame and polycarbonate for the front and rear).

Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge raise the bar of quality higher still presenting both a frame completely in aluminum and a front and rear glass. A unibody design completely, very Apple style, which while limiting some features (no removable battery) gives an overall quality much higher than in the past.

Samsung has also worked extensively on optimizing the size, 142.1 x 70.1 x 7.0 mm for the Edge to 132 grams, and the end result is definitely successful.

FEATURES

Samsung Galaxy and Galaxy S6 S6 Edge share most of the technical details.

As for the main camera and the front, Samsung introduced the HDR in real time which allows the user to capture sharper images and brilliant independently from the external environment.

bloatware TouchWiz

Samsung has learned its lesson even in this respect. The untenti have expressed their disagreement with all the pre-installed applications from Samsung jointly with its TouchWiz interface. And so, listening to the feed of the users, the Korean company has taken steps to empty the blootware of all applications of little use. The end result is a renewed TouchWiz, to comply with the stylistic dictates of Android 5.0 Lollipop and, above all, smooth.

Fewer choices, more order and less pre-installed applications. In the latter make their appearance some names of Microsoft: OneDrive and OneNote.



WHAT WE LIKE

LITTLE PERSONALITY ‘

Public and analysts have clamored for greater quality. Samsung has accontetato equipping all the new Galaxy line S6 of quality materials able to completely forget the plastic (polycarbonate) of the past. An operation of rupture than previous models partially amending the strategy since the Samsung Galaxy S6 because the body does not have a removable battery unibody. One aspect that may not be shared by all users of the Android world.

From the point of view of the form factor is undeniably a strong resemblance to the frame side of the iPhone 6. Samsung has, at least in part, transposed the lines of Apple on its new top of the range. Definitely more attractive from the point of view of aesthetics the Galaxy S6 Edge thanks to the double curvature of the screen which in fact confers an effect Wow.

UNKNOWN THE SELLING PRICE

Samsung Galaxy S6 that the Galaxy S6 Edge will be available from April 10, 2015 . Prices will vary from market to market, but there are still no official announcements about.

According to PhoneArena, which reports a source of SamMobile, prices for Europe will be the following: the Galaxy S6 cheaper (32 GB) will cost € 699. The 64GB model should be sold at € 799, while the 128GB version will be available at the price of 899 €. Galaxy S6 Edge will be more expensive: € 849 (32GB), € 949 (64 GB), and € 1,049 (128 GB).

Here again the strategy is well in line with Samsung that Apple: different prices than the capacity of internal memory.

We know, however, that Samsung products, as well as “certified” by a number of Idela that have been made in this regard, will drop soon. Some insiders Samsung have indicated that the music from the past will change even in this particular aspect. Undoubtedly, however, remains the unknown factor of the estate of the price of the Galaxy S6 in the medium to long term, the series: better to buy now or wait a few weeks? The previous top of the range have shown that absolutely should wait a few weeks before buying a top of the range of the Korean precisely because of the “certificate” drop in prices.
