Now comes the Galaxy S6 edge – a variant of the Galaxy S6 with nearly identical specs – this unique handset takes Samsung's design language one step above the Note 4 and, arguably, adds more premium materials to what can be found on the current iPhones. But what about hardware, and does the fact that the Galaxy S6 edge will be arriving just 6 months after the release of the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy Note 4 mean that it will bring any radically different specs with it?
Let's check them out, side by side:
