Android model citizens: the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge specs review

Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are products you will be hearing a lot about throughout the next 12 months. They are Samsung's flagship smartphones for 2015, which means they were designed and spec'd out to make huge sales and get the Korean company's mobile division out of the murky waters the Galaxy S5's underwhelming performance left it in. With hardware curiosities from the likes of an extremely sharp Quad-HD display, or the Samsung-fabricated Exynos 7420 processor, the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are beasts worthy of a careful study. But we will do this in our full review when we get the chance. Until then, we'll introduce you to the key elements that define 2015's Android model citizens. Enjoy!

Design

The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge are remarkable in that, for the first time ever, devoted Galaxy S owners won't be touching flimsy plastic in their hands. They will finally get to know what a blend of premium materials feels like, as the Galaxy S6 is obsessively crafted from metal and glass. Covered in tough Gorilla Glass 4, and reinforced with a sculpted, sturdy aluminum frame, the smartphone may look safe, but it also looks the part of a flagship. Not only is the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge as premium as it gets, but it will also come in a four lively colors. And with dimensions of 5.64 x 2.79 x 0.27 inches (143.3 x 70.81 x 6.8 mm), this guy won't sit in your hand any worse than the iPhone 6 does! The Galaxy S6 edge is basically the same, but its screen gently curves to its sides, making for a flowing, liquid look to the phone!
