The characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S6, the new top-end smartphone in the S line from the Korean company, are truly impressive. In principle, it cannot be otherwise. In all respects, the Galaxy S6 and its “sibling” Galaxy S6 Edge can claim to be the leaders of the mobile market in 2015.

This time, Samsung decided to please everyone at once: from sophisticated testers from eminent publications dedicated to technical innovations to end consumers. And this is not just about computing capabilities, although, of course, the technical characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S6 are definitely at their best.

This time Samsung decided to replace the traditional plastic case with the long-awaited metal. Thanks to this, the Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone began to look definitely more advantageous and presentable. And he will have to compete with the Apple iPhone 6 itself! Apparently, the Koreans decided to take into account the experience of the not entirely successful Galaxy S5 model (sales were significantly lower than expected).

However, the very tasty characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S6 are not limited to just the metal body. For example, the smartphone will receive a luxurious 5.1-inch display with a QHD screen resolution (2560x1440 pixels), which gives it incredible clarity.

Similar to the Galaxy S5, the characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S6 will include two possible processors: and Samsung's own Exynos 7420. Both processors support 64-bit computing and are designed to raise the speed of Android OS applications to new heights (currently they are used only in Apple products based on iOS).

Instead of a resume

The characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S6 turned out to be at a high level, although somewhat more modest than initially expected. However, this always happens - expectations exceed technological capabilities.

I’ve been using the Samsung Galaxy S6 for a year and a half now, and I’m still amazed at how innovative this device is. Considering the low price of the smartphone and its year of release (2015), it can still compete with the new iPhone, LG, Sony, and the same Galaxy S7! Quite durable glass, because... Several times the device slipped out of my hands and fell onto the carpet, tiles and even asphalt, but there was no visible damage (only a small scratch on the back of the smartphone). The design is very attractive, in bright light it shimmers from black to blue, which is why the color is sapphire. The software has not changed much recently, it is just as comfortable. Throughout my use of the S6, I was able to fall in love with the high-speed charging and amazing sound, but it’s a pity that Samsung got rid of moisture protection. Once water got into my smartphone, I was scared that the screen was flickering in different colors, but it went away). The camera is at the highest level, the brother Sony Z5, the company claims that their 23MP camera is the best, but my Galaxy has it many times better, especially in the dark. About the processor, I can say that all programs and games like asphalt run smoothly. I want to say that this phone deserves 1st place in terms of price/quality ratio!

Smartphones Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge are the main flagships of the past 2015 from the South Korean corporation, which became the undisputed market leaders at the time of their release.

The creation of the Galaxy S6 and especially the Galaxy S6 Edge meant a new stage in the development of the company's mobile business; the successful solutions found then are successfully used in top-end and not-so-top-end Samsung smartphones. In particular, the one released this year is visually very similar to its predecessor.

The most powerful mobile processor of its time - Exynos 7420, a large bright QHD screen, a stylish glass and metal body, the best camera and the new version of Android 5 OS with Samsung's proprietary shell are the success factors of the Samsung Galaxy S6. And his “brother” Galaxy S7 Edge completely made a revolution, revealing to the world a screen curved on both sides.

Unlike the company's other top line, the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy S6 is aimed more at the mass consumer. Therefore, the “sixth galaxy” is produced in the form factor of a classic smartphone with a screen diagonal of 5.1 inches. And the consumer-friendly pricing policy leads to the fact that even in the Russian outback, a buyer who is not experienced in English “asks” Yandex about the “Samsung Galaxy S6”.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

As for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, this variant was initially released solely as a “marketing engine” to promote the base model. However, initially the conceptual model was an incredible success on the market. Very quickly, the Galaxy S6 Edge surged so much that the company was forced to adjust production plans and attract additional capacity.

By purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, you get more than just a powerful and technically advanced smartphone. With the Galaxy S6 Edge, you can truly stand out from the crowd of mobile electronics users, unlike Apple addicts whose favorite iPhones are too similar to each other.

At the moment, a lot of smartphone manufacturers have already begun to follow the “sixth Edge”; the same Chinese are already churning out more than one “killer S6 Edge” with a “2.5D” screen. However, all of them are still very far from one of the best flagships from Samsung.

Success Factors of Samsung Galaxy S6

Firstly, these are the outstanding technical characteristics of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, which allow these smartphones to still occupy good positions in the ranking of the most productive smartphones even though Samsung released an update to the line this year.

The computing capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy S6 are now sufficient to run the most demanding applications that actively use both processor resources and 3D graphics. The Galaxy S6 continues to conquer the heaviest mobile games of the present. And the situation is unlikely to change in the near future.

Interestingly, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge became the first mainstream smartphones to bring 64-bit computing to the world of Android devices thanks to the new Exynos 7420 processor. Before this, however, the Galaxy Note 4 was released, which had support for such, but it was not a mass product.

And in combination with other Samsung electronics, in particular TVs, the Galaxy S6 can become a real center of your home “multimedia universe”!

Made of glass and metal, the Samsung Galaxy S6 has become a true standard of style and high-quality mobile design, which other manufacturers are now emulating. So by purchasing the Galaxy S6 you get not only one of the most powerful, but also one of the most beautiful smartphones of our time.

Unexpectedly for itself, having produced the Galaxy S6, Samsung has become a real “trendsetter” in the mobile world. Other manufacturers, having seen the Samsung Galaxy S6, also immediately rushed to produce thin smartphones and phones with glass and metal cases - from large brands like HTC to little-known Chinese ones.

Another important feature of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge is the built-in wireless charging capability, with support for two standards at once: Qi and PMA. If before this wireless charging of smartphones was something exotic, then thanks to the Galaxy S6 it has actively “gone to the masses”.

Moreover, Samsung gave the first lucky Galaxy S6 customers who pre-ordered before the start of official sales of the smartphone a branded wireless charger that not only quickly charged the Galaxy S6 battery, but was simply a stylish accessory.

And the Galaxy S6 “revealed to the world” the new revolutionary mobile payment technology Samsung Pay, which in most cases allows you to replace a bank card with a smartphone. And all thanks to the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S6 not only supports the already well-known technology of contactless payments using NFC, but also has a built-in solution for magnetic tape emulation, which makes it compatible with almost all payment terminals. Unless you won't be able to withdraw cash.

As a result, critics rated both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge as unconditionally successful flagship smartphones, and 100% of them. in particular, smartphones can be assessed as 100% successful. The level of pre-order sales alone showed that the new product turned out to be many times more successful than its predecessor, the Galaxy S5.

Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge in Russia

It is noteworthy that the first happy owner of the Samsung Galaxy S6 was the famous Russian bodybuilder Alexey Lesukov. Achieving incredible success since 2006, Alexey has repeatedly taken first places at the Russian Junior Championships, International Championships, FIBO-Expo, Nordic Pro and other competitions.

Lesukov’s highest performance in professional sports comes from hard training under the supervision of a personal trainer. In addition to daily physical activity, the athlete follows an individually selected diet containing only balanced foods. A huge amount of vitamins entering the body help normalize and control the functioning of all internal organs. In addition, pharmacological sports nutrition products are indispensable assistants in professional sports. According to SportWiki, anabolic steroids helped Alexey Lesukov achieve results from the age of 16. It is worth dispelling the myth about the dangers of such drugs. With the correct dosage and compliance with the dosage regimen, purchased in a special sports pharmacology store, anabolic steroids are absolutely safe.

We have already written about the expected exhibition Mobile World Congress 2015, which will show new flagships from Samsung and finally it happened. After several months of wondering what these new devices will look like, the flagships are officially shown to the public. Maybe Samsung Galaxy S6 will be a bestseller this year, and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge claims to have the most non-standard design among Android smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S6- This is the next model (after the S5), which received higher quality body materials, a slightly updated design and finally a metal frame. Now Samsung's flagships can be compared with the latest iPhones in terms of workmanship and design.

The S6 received a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED screen (like the S5). Samsung believes that there is no point in making the screen larger on the new flagship, because there is also a series of Note smartphones with a larger diagonal screen. The resolution has been increased to qHD 2560x1440, like other recent top-end smartphones, such as the Note 4. The metal body is 50% stronger than other smartphones with a metal body, the manufacturers claim. On the front panel there is a mechanical “Home” button and touch “Recent applications” and “Back”.

It can be said that Samsung Galaxy S6 looks like an iPhone, but it's not. Although the frame has also become metal with rounded corners, and the speaker has been moved to the bottom of the smartphone, otherwise the front part is more similar to the previous S5 model, and the back has a new look. The thickness of the device is only 6.8 mm and a possible solution with rounded corners of the metal frame will make it more convenient to use.

You won’t be able to get the battery out of the S6 (without disassembling the device); while previously you could open the cover and change the battery, now it is non-removable. The capacity is 2550 mAh, which is pretty standard for smartphones of this size.

Now wireless charging is not a separate option. The manufacturer promises 4 hours of device operation in just 10 minutes of recharging with an original wireless charger. But you can say goodbye to expanding the memory capacity thanks to microSD cards; there is no slot for flash drives. But the S6 will be available in versions with 64GB and even 128GB, and the very first version will have 32GB of internal memory.

Previously, there were rumors that Samsung was abandoning Qualcomm chips and would produce new flagships only on its processors Exynos. IN Galaxy S6 used 64 bit Exynos octa-core processor and 3 GB RAM new standard DDR4. Company representatives did not specify what processor is used, but the 14nm architecture suggests that it should be Exynos 7. Samsung claims the chip is more efficient, 35% more efficient and 20% faster than the Exynos in the Note 4.

The rear camera has a resolution of 16MP with optical stabilization. The camera lens has an aperture value of F/1.9, which means higher quality pictures in low light. The camera module protrudes noticeably from the back cover. But a tracking autofocus function appeared, similar to SLR cameras. The front camera is 5MP with a wide-angle lens, which is more of a standard these days. There is also a heart rate sensor on the back cover, and the central button on the front can scan fingerprints (as in the S5).

The new flagships will, of course, run on a mobile operating system Android 5.0. New shell version TouchWiz will be lighter than previous versions. Samsung makes a big bet on the payment system Samsung Pay, which will compete with Google Wallet and Apple Pay, as well as a partnership with Microsoft to receive bonus space in the OneDrive cloud storage. By using Samsung Pay And NFC chip, you will be able to make purchases in any place where plastic cards are serviced. There is already support for Mastercard and Visa of several large banks. Samsung Pay should launch in the summer in the USA and South Korea.

Now let's talk about Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, which should diversify flagship devices with its unusual alternative design. Screen S6 Edge is now rounded on both sides, on which widgets and program launcher icons can be located, as well as useful information can be displayed. "Your friends will think it's really cool," says a Samsung spokesperson. But it’s quite difficult to say how many people will be willing to pay for such a “wow” effect.

Screen Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge like the S6 - Super AMOLED 2560x1440 (qHD) 5.1 inches. CPU Exynos And 3GB DDR4 RAM. Built-in memory 32GB, 64GB or 128GB. The camera is the same as in the S6, 16MP main and 5MP front. But the battery is slightly different - 2600mAh.

Already on April 10, both smartphones will be available in 20 countries (it is unknown whether Russia is on this list). Prices are not yet known. Several body colors were shown (white, blue, gold and other colors).
