A year ago, the flagship Galaxy with all its virtues was one of the main objects of ridicule in the mobile market. Functionality and performance, but without the bonus materials on the body and with a questionable design. Worldwide Galaxy S5 compared with a porous adhesive, and this insulting analogy supported not only by users of social networks, but even the company’s competitors such as HTC. In Russia, for the Galaxy S5 even found its own national teaser – back cover compared with the salon VAZ “six”. A year later, Samsung decided to change the approach to the creation of champions. Now, if you even remember last year’s predecessor, the nickname instead of the “classics” of the domestic auto industry conjure luxury coupe sixth series BMW.
If you somehow missed this momentous event, Samsung this year, made a sharp turn in the strategy, and completely changed the approach to the creation of champions . The first bell was the unusual presentation at the Mobile World Congress, where at the beginning of Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2015 announced a new development path. Instead of one device presented two models, the approach to the design and software for body chosen a welcome glass and aluminum. Regional presentation finally approved orientation to the premium segment of the market. For example, in Moscow and Paris premiere took place on shows during the opening week of fashion.
This year, Samsung was able to really surprise anyone interested in the mobile market and release the desired device. I do not presume to tell you how many of my friends want to become owners of Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 edge. Some of them for many years did not see anything except the tubes of a famous American company. They all bought new smartphones Samsung? Alas. The crisis has forced many people to restrain appetite, and look at the existing devices: maybe my old man still hoo? Anyway, Samsung this year is not going to hold the price advances and makes it clear that this flagship to be cheap indecent. However, do not be surprised if by the end of the year, many of my friends in the hands of the six “Galaxy” will meet at least iPhones.

design
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge – the top of the product line Samsung. This applies to virtually every aspect of the device, whether it is the screen, the camera, or the performance of the software. Finally, the design is no exception and we are facing one of the most beautiful smartphone market. Samsung Company for the production of S6 edge chose a combination of glass and metal, and with unusual colors body. The most spectacular – an emerald, but this model, at the time of publication, and has not started to sell in our country. However, other colors have turned out no worse than, for example, the device of the classic black angled blue molds. It looks impressive and very stylish.
Unlike the Galaxy Note EDGE Samsung has decided to do less bending of the screen, allowing to place the power button and volume rocker on the usual place – the side of the smartphone. Under the screen is a set of proprietary mechanical and two touch buttons. The first integrated fingerprint reader, and it works on touch. The previous model had to drag on, making it less convenient unlocking device. On the back of the stands 16-megapixel main camera, situated near the sensor, heart rate monitor and the LED flash.
The curved display life looks a lot more impressive than the photos and promo pictures. However, the appearance of having to pay ergonomics. The thin metal frame a little digging into his hand like that is not all buyers. In addition, the need to adapt himself to keep the smart phone so as not to touch the curved portions of the screen. In general, about the appearance of the Galaxy S6 edge it said so much that repeated all the enthusiastic words no longer want. Against the background of the new flagship of Samsung most other devices look boring and cheap – that’s all you need to know a potential buyer.
Display
The Galaxy S6 edge set SuperAMOLED display with a diagonal of 5.1 inches and a resolution 2560h1440 points, which gives a density of 577 pixels per inch calculated. It is not the first time experts, for example, DisplayMate give matrices Samsung smartphones title of the best on the market. In this regard, S6 edge was no exception, and it remains for me only to confirm these words. Long gone are the days when SuperAMOLED display actively criticized for unnatural colors, excessive brightness and other unpleasant things eye. Now the screens are very close to one hundred percent coverage of Adobe RGB palette and color show as they should be. If necessary, the user can change the colors on your own – to make them as much as possible bright and colorful, or choose muted colors. In addition, there is an automatic mode, display settings according to the type of content displayed on the screen.
As for the density of pixels on the screen, this indicator came close to that mark, for which the difference ceases to be visible to the naked eye when viewed from any distance. The only thing, which is now necessary to continue the race permits – use of smartphones paired with virtual reality goggles. As a consequence, in talking about the flagship to the fore need to put the brightness, contrast, color reproduction, the readability of the sun and other features that are not found in the list of specifications and specification models on advertising banners. With all this screen S6 edge celebrates fine, but problems arise because of the bend. In contrast to the plane of the screen, it is reflection of the sun and makes the information unreadable and a bit distorted at the edges of the display content. But the peculiarities of the bent portion of the display below.
The side edges of the display
Display Galaxy S6 edge is significantly different from that established in Note EDGE. Bending the screen now is not very big. On one side it still varies user experience when working with the device, on the other – it is a continuation of the picture with the flat portion. Note In the case of the behavior is as though it is independent of the screen. On it, you can even put some wallpaper. When choosing between the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge should be clearly understood that it would be desirable to receive the device. The first offers better ergonomics and a lower price, and the second looks very nice and attracts attention. Why am I not talking about additional functionality? Quite simply, the curved part of the display Galaxy S6 edge in terms of software do not offer anything for the sake of what it cost to pay more.
The user can choose the side that will display additional information, including a night mode with the clock, date, temperature display on the brink headlines . All this will hardly be called significant advantages. The only more or less distinct “trick” of the side portions of the screen – the panel of five favorite contacts. Firstly, they can quickly make calls, and secondly to select the illumination color. If your smartphone is face down when an incoming call on the selected subscriber side face will be beautiful glow a certain color. It looks cool, but do without such a function not working.
As you know, about the application icons, widgets, and other features of the line the right edge Galaxy Note EDGE will have to forget – this is not all. But the buyer will receive the curved portion of the glare in the sun, which make it difficult to read from the screen, the complexity of getting a finger in the interface elements on the verge of, as well as too thin side frames smartphone are a little digging into his hand. So, when choosing between Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge question is either beautiful or anything else. In spite of everything, I choose the “beautiful.” The model with a curved screen looks so good that it is easy to forgive the rest.
Camera
Whenever I try out the camera Galaxy S6 edge, I unconditionally love with this smartphone. In virtually all shooting conditions, it is, without exaggeration, the best on the market. But let’s take first things first and start with dry Performance module:
– 16-megapixel BSI-module Sony IMX240;
- F / 1.9-2.2;
- ISO 100, 200, 400, 800 in the manual mode;
- Optical stabilization;
- LED-flash;
- Night mode;
- 8x digital zoom;
- HDR mode to Live;
- 3D Photo Mode;
- Video recording in 4K or Full HD 60 frames per second;
- Recording stereo with two microphones;
- Slow motion 240 fps;
- Express survey.
Starting the camera can be performed by touching icons familiar with the lock screen, and in addition, double-clicking the button “Home”. In the latter case, the smart phone will be ready to shoot in less than a second even when running any application or turn off the screen. This allows us not to waste time with the appearance of an unexpected situation, which wants to leave, not only in his memory, and immediately start shooting. Equally fast autofocus system works, and optical image stabilization compensates for camera shake.
In addition to using high-quality 16 megapixel module with an aperture of 1.9, Samsung has done a good job over the software. In the final photograph to increase the brightness, noise reduction works well, as well as improved contour sharpness. You can take pictures in manual or automatic mode, as you wish. Camera settings finally become more convenient and do not require scrolling in search of some unpopular option. As it is now accepted, there is a regime HDR, manual focus, a simple filter. Because it is worth noting unusual 3D-shooting, when you create a kind of short animation with three-dimensional object, changes the position in space along with the movements of the smartphone. However, this is unlikely to be popular mode, except that a couple of times to play.
If we talk about the quality of the photos, the pictures are very bright, detailed, with rich colors. After Galaxy S6 edge photos with iPhone, seem pale and expressionless. During testing Galaxy S6 edge I never wanted to use the camera from another smartphone. First I was trying to take pictures of habit to his 6 Plus, but quickly changed his mind. The turning point turned out to be a time when, because of the backlight, I was not able to make an acceptable picture, and S6 edge perfectly cope with this task.
If we talk about the weaknesses of the camera, I would mention only the shooting under artificial light. If the room is lit incandescent lamp, a camera icon is better not to push. In principle, this is true for all smartphones and even SLR cameras when shooting in auto mode, and the Galaxy S6 edge was a clear example of this. In such circumstances, the camera of the smartphone “yellow”, so that the photos are best left in the device without sending for all to see in social networks. But in low-light Galaxy S6 edge unconditionally udelyvaet competitors. During one of his walks in the twilight, and I just did what I was photographing and genuinely surprised each image. Minimum noise, fine detail and realistic color reproduction – all about the new flagship camera Samsung.
Especially good look at the photos SuperAMOLED screen smartphone, which is somewhat selfish. However, other devices also experience only positive images. The only thing I did not have much – the possibility of taking photos with an aspect ratio of 1: 1, when you want to take a picture of it to Instagram.
High-resolution, aperture f / 1.9, quick launch camera, excellent autofocus and optical image stabilization system, and software algorithms to improve the quality images – all this makes the camera the best Galaxy S6 edge in the smartphone market. Editorial iGuides recommends new flagship Samsung all those who value the highest quality mobile images.
Performance
The Galaxy S6 edge features a 64-bit Exynos 7420 with a frequency of 2.1 GHz, consisting of four core Cortex-A53 and four Cortex A57. In addition, using 3 GB of RAM with a maximum today a capacity of 3.2 GB / c, and a type of memory storage UFS 2.0, which provides maximum read and write speeds. Today it is the most advanced and productive filling of all devices running Android. If we talk about the results of synthetic benchmarks, which sometimes are so fond of showing off the owners of smartphones, Galaxy S6 edge gives values close to sixty thousand points in AnTuTu Benchmark. Winning over the previous leader of the Meizu MX 4 is on average about ten thousand a little more detachment from synthetic bronze medalist – Galaxy Note 4.
In contrast to the CPU, RAM and non-volatile memory, graphics system prevents smartphone talk about unconditional leadership. The Galaxy S6 edge uses an updated version of the kernel Mali T-760. Her performance is enough for comfortable operation of the device in all situations, however, the palm in matters of graphics should go to the product NVidia. Do they demand – is another question. Returning to Mali T-760, I would say that if the developers have taken care of the optimization, the game will “fly”, most often in the 60 FPS. But if the full support of the graphics core is not, such as GTA, you have to blame the lazy developers and observe insufficient quality textures or even any problems. Generally speaking, during the use of Galaxy S6 edge I have never been to complain to the speed of the device. Freezes, hangs, crashes the application – this is not about him. Buying a new flagship Samsung is no doubt that you get the highest performance, which currently can not compete any other flag, regardless of whether the user to focus on synthetic benchmarks and real experience of using a smartphone.
Autonomy
The capacity of the internal battery is very far from the record levels – only 2600 mAh. At runtime in the lead as they were, and still are large smartphones such as Galaxy Note 4, Lenovo Vibe X2 Pro, Huawei Mate 7 and tolstyachki of second-tier manufacturers. src=”https://www.iguides.ru/upload/medialibrary/c15/735x649xc1556c93b5e941f257a5669a663df09a.jpg.pagespeed.ic.pL1VeI_3EN.jpg” src=”https://www.iguides.ru/upload/medialibrary/ff8/735x649xff8203063385006f925415294a3258f2.jpg.pagespeed.ic.voEvjybez4.jpg” src=”https://www.iguides.ru/upload/medialibrary/3cb/735x649x3cb27ab5ce30dac91db160da5bbe2b35.jpg.pagespeed.ic.rhN2db8UF0.jpg” src=”https://www.iguides.ru/upload/medialibrary/03c/735x649x03c5e241d10506e871f2414357dbf2a0.jpg.pagespeed.ic.COsj5LPlec.jpg” src=”https://www.iguides.ru/upload/medialibrary/c13/735x413xc1365961fe7b4743e23ea1eff6b992a9.png.pagespeed.ic.wdBmxka4US.jpg” src=”https://www.iguides.ru/upload/medialibrary/e96/735x162xe96a64e5194717517aa512d1d20d8934.jpg.pagespeed.ic.846kWtPDOK.jpg” src=”https://www.iguides.ru/upload/medialibrary/5b4/735x490x5b40af78d2912c4a84b3a1cc7a402a60.jpg.pagespeed.ic.o1gfGjAcxv.jpg” src=”https://www.iguides.ru/upload/medialibrary/421/735x400x4210db7262563c2190ad1f5dd89dc4d2.jpg.pagespeed.ic.ZN-IUDkikb.jpg”
