The news of the last hours is but one that Samsung has received the recent MWC 2015 a prestigious award; Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has managed to earn the award for best device presented at the event in Barcelona.
In the current edition alternated presentation events that involved a manufacturer like HTC that has made design its own trademark. HTC M9, while being virtually identical to the previous M8, is a device
This is the second consecutive year that Samsung receives this award; in 2014 he was awarded the Samsung Gear Fit in 2014. “With the Galaxy S6 Edge we tried to fuse technology and design in a way never seen before,” said JK Shin , President and CEO of the division IT & amp; Mobile Communications at Samsung Electronics. “We are honored that the GSMA recognizes that these are our most elegant and powerful devices made so far.” The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has received more than 20 prestigious awards at the MWC 2015, including precisely that of “Best of the Mobile World Congress.
Samsung seems to have made an agreement really all. And ‘the case to say that quality pays. But we must see if this quality is also adopted by consumers and consequently the market where Samsung Galaxy S6 will have to deal with a giant like Apple and its iPhone and iPhone 6 6 Plus.

Here is the recap of the preview of the Galaxy S6 Edge realized by our colleagues at IBTimes UK
The colleagues of IBTimes UK (translation by Massimiliano Di Marco original article published on IBTimes UK) have tried it and have said that first impressions holding the Galaxy S6 Edge does not concern the curved screen, but the size. It ‘really small and is not a defect. Compared to iPhone 6 Plus, S6 Edge is very compact. Samsung has done a great job in reducing as much as possible the size of your phone; it is light but solid. The plastic of the previous Galaxy smartphone has been replaced by glass on both the front and back and a metal frame that recalls definitely iPhone 6.

The phone gives a feeling “premium” than previous models and versions in green and blue color offer something different than the black, white and gold that we are seeing from other manufacturers.
Samsung showed a couple of interesting uses of the curved screen in his presentation, but none of these is a reason to define the Galaxy S6 Edge a “must have”.
On the hardware side the screen is really fantastic. It has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 which means that it is ultra detailed and the Super AMOLED technology makes colors appear more vivid.
After a problem “public” with the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, Samsung has included the chip Exynos 7420 octa-core 64-bit owner in Galaxy S6 Edge along with 3 GB of RAM DDR4, faster.
For the first time, Samsung has integrated a battery directly into the phone, which means that you can not replace the unit from 2600 mAh if there is a problem. The reason why Samsung has decided so is linked to the desire to include wireless charging.
Samsung supports both the main approaches in this area, which means it will be less difficult to find a place to take advantage of this feature .
Samsung said that Galaxy S6 to recharge it takes half the time than to recharge the iPhone 6 and will be available four hours of use with a charge of 10 minutes.
If these promises were kept, it would be a huge bonus.

Samsung has updated both the camera back to the front. The latter has a 5 MP sensor with f / 1.9. This feature, together with larger pixels, should ensure Selfie best in low light conditions. On the back is a 16 MP sensor, the same lens and an optical stabilizer.
To demonstrate the capabilities of the camera, Samsung has added pictures and video taken by an iPhone 6 Plus and although these examples should be taken with pliers, Galaxy S6 Edge behaved much better in low-light situations. In the few images captured in the room for the demo, the camera seemed very good and the focus very fast.

A very convenient feature is the ability to double-press the Home key to start the camera, which is always on standby, within one second. I tested this feature and although it has taken more when the phone is locked, it works without problems.
Samsung has once again revised its TouchWiz interface on Android 5.0 Lollipop. The company said it had lightened his software so that it is more intuitive and less cumbersome. And ‘certainly less invasive, but there are too many benefits compared to a stock version of Android.
Samsung not much has optimized the software, from what I saw, for the curved screen, however there yet the time to work and realize app specifically designed to take advantage of this hardware feature.
Ultimately colleague IBTimes UK has enjoyed the build quality of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge but is not convinced that curved screen adds something to everyday experience, however, is definitely pleasing to the eye.
The addition of wireless charging and Samsung Pay will help the company to differentiate itself and as always is at the top when it comes to hardware. I like the Galaxy S6, but are not yet sure how much.
