The much-hyped Galaxy S6 Edge was announced alongside the Galaxy S6 at Mobile World Congress 2015.
Its dual curved edges, providing a more immersive viewing experience,
make it one of the most unique phones on the market. Read below for full
details and hands-on video of S6 Edge features, which Samsung first
announced at its 'Unpacked' event in Barcelona.
Galaxy S6 Edge features
The standout feature of the Galaxy S6 Edge is its curve-edged
display, which is made from Corning Gorilla Glass 4. This is what
differentiates it from the S6, along with most other smartphones on the
market. Its 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display has a very high pixel
density of 577 ppi.
Its internals include Samsung's latest octa-core processor,
comprising quad 2.1GHz and quad 1.5Ghz. It packs 3 GB of RAM and either
32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB of internal memory, powered by a 2,600mAh
battery. It also runs Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.
Its camera comes with f1.9 lenses and high-resolution sensors on both
front (5MP) and rear (16MP) cameras. The rear camera also features
optical image stabilization (OIS). But perhaps the most interesting new
feature is Samsung Pay. This is a mobile payment service and will launch
on the Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6, in the United States during the
second half of this year.
The S6 Edge's glass and aluminium body makes it feel more premium
than previous Samsung devices. It comes in five colors: white pearl,
black sapphire, gold platinum, blue topaz and green emerald.
The S6 Edge comes with a refreshed version of TouchWiz, with fewer
pre-installed apps, but won't have expandable storage through a micro-SD
card slot. Neither the Galaxy S6 Edge, nor the S6, is water-resistant.
Galaxy S6 Edge price
The Galaxy S6 Edge comes with a price tag of around 950 USD for the
32 GB version. The 64 GB version will cost around 1050 USD and the 128
GB version will be around 1150 USD.
Galaxy S6 Edge release date
The S6 Edge will have an initial limited distribution on April 10, before a global release shortly after.
