Most awaited phone of 2015
Samsung explains two factors to their device build, the glass and the metal. After all, that is what we see, feel and have asked for, right?
Starting with the glass, Samsung has gone with a new glass and technique, called 3D Thermoforming, to rise above the other boring old 2.5D glass on other phones today. Basically, 2.5D glass has fairly strict tolerances to bending, reducing the amount of bend available in design.
The process of 3D Thermoforming, in short, brings a couple layers of glass to the verge of melting, about 800 degree Celsius, then gently presses them into a mold. The result gives what we see in the upcoming Galaxy S6 Edge, that being, glass that bends in more ways than one.
After taking care of the front glass, Samsung again went a step beyond previous techniques with their metal choices. In short, they went with aircraft/automobile grade aluminum, called 6013 aluminum. The result, they say, is metal that is one and a half times stronger and 1.2 times more scratch resistant than the 6063 aluminum used for most current metal built Android phones
All that metal, will it have an impact on the antenna? Why yes, so Samsung used ultrasonic welding to, in a way, incorporate the antenna into the metal frame. They say this gives more durability, a better signal and saves space inside the device, so they don’t have to put a big black bar on the front of the phone with their logo, take that HTC. OK, Samsung didn’t exactly say all that.
Coming to the specs
In a bid to challenge the likes of the iPhone 6 and newly-announced HTC One M9, Samsung has redesigned the Galaxy S6 from the ground up.
The smartphone arrives, much like its competitors, boasting a metal body, which comes clad in Gorilla Glass 4 much like the Sony Xperia Z3.
According to Samsung, this metal body is 50 percent tougher than that use in other smartphones on the market, with the firm taking a dig at Apple with the claim that the S6 "will not bend". In terms of size, the Galaxy S6 measures in at just 6.8mm thick
This metal and glass casing houses the Galaxy S6's 5.1in 2560x1440 Super AMOLED display, which comes coated in Gorilla Glass 4 making it, according to the firm, the toughest smartphone screen on the market. With a pixel density of 577ppi, the firm also boasts that this is the highest resolution display available on the smartphone market today.
Under the hood, the Galaxy S6 features an octa-core Samsung-branded processor, made up of four 2.1GHz cores and four cores clocked at 1.5GHz, which comes paired with 3GB RAM.
Of course, the Galaxy S6 will ship running Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system, and ss rumours had suggested, comes with a stripped-back version of Samsung's TouchWiz user interface. The firm has reworked its interface from the ground up - equipping with a simpler, flatter design and less bloatware, with the smartphone shipping with just two Samsung apps pre-loaded.
Samsung's software does debut Samsung Pay, however, a mobile payments service that looks to challenge Apple Pay. Set to launch in the US in the second half of 2015, the NFC-based payments service - much like Apple's - allows users to make payments by scanning their fingerprint.
An upgraded version of Samsung's Knox security suite is also included on the Galaxy S6 with the firm looking to tackle iOS and Windows Phone in the enterprise. This upgraded security software takes advantage of the handsets' upgraded touch-based fingerprint scanner, and comes with a new remotely-controlled 'Reactivation Lock' feature.
For those not looking to use the smartphone at work, the Galaxy S6 features a 16MP sensor on its rear, similar to that found on last year's Galaxy S5, complete with optical image stablisation, 4K video recording and a new feature called object-tracking audofocus.
There's also a 5MP camera on the front of the smartphone, improving on last year's 2MP offering.
verdict: The specs of phone are amazing but we have see how to perfrom.The samsung had a bad reputation towards its over pricing.pricing also plays a vital role in the phone sales
