March 1 before the start of the exhibition Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Samsung will show two new flagship smartphone – Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Both must provide beautiful all-metal housing, Super Fine Quad HD display and the ability to charge wirelessly. All the “brain” of the coming updates brought together Vesti.Hi-tech.
Samsung began sending invitations to the presentation ahead of time, at the beginning of February. Undulating contour in an image resembling a metal edging smartphone, gave occasion to say that display at least one of the upcoming device will be curved . The company is unlikely to be decided to experiment with the flagship model, so the innovation is likely to affect only S6 Edge.
Galaxy Edge
Model Note Edge, which has 5.6-inch screen is curved to the left, the Korean manufacturer introduced a year ago. Edge can serve as a center of notifications when Phablet is in standby mode. Also it can be displayed on incoming SMS text, tweet, post to Facebook or news. TechAdvisor sources claim that in the case of S6 Edge company will go even further and “will pursue” its display on both sides at once.
Confidence that announcement of new products will be held on March 1 it , makes the fact that last year’s flagship – Galaxy S5 – was also shown in MWC 2014. His predecessor, Galaxy S4, submitted after MWC, in March 2013. Release both models took place a few weeks after the announcement. With the start of sales of Galaxy S6, most likely, Samsung also will not tarry. Site phoneArena writes that flagship will on March 22 and S6 Edge – April 19 .
According to information from various sources, screen size of the new smartphone will be between 5 and 5, 5 inches . At CNET, for example, gives a figure of 5.1 “(as in last year’s Galaxy S5), justifying the view that Samsung is unlikely to want to compete with the flagship began her own line planshetofonov Galaxy Note. Journalists TechAdvisor, on the contrary, believe that Super AMOLED-display S6 “swell” to 5.5 inches, and its resolution – up to Quad HD (2560h1440, 534 dots per inch). “Face” of the device may be fortified to protect the coating from 4 Gorilla Glass Corning.
“Appearance” Galaxy S6 no longer a secret . The device will be released in the premium version : the rear cover and bezel around the body, are made of metal, and the front panel – made of glass. Therefore, Samsung first renounce the use of plastic, “wearing” a novelty in the metal housing. In early February, the French resource Nowhereelse.fr posted photos of the aluminum frame, according to which, Galaxy S6 will have a clear resemblance to the iPhone 6. A few days later the site CNET Korea reinforced the hearing by publishing a picture S6 in a case Verus. In the photo, which was obtained from a source in one of the South Korean electronics distributors, lit and “bent” model S6 Edge.
Galaxy S6 thickness does not exceed 6.9 mm . About this site GSMArena told accessories manufacturer OBLIQ, which has already started to prepare for the production of covers for your smartphone. As seen in the 3D-rendering, provided by the company, alongside his chamber will be located heartbeat sensor and LED flash. The device will come in four colors: dark blue, blue-green, gold and white.
Numerous leaks renderings suggest that the Galaxy S6 will be provided separate buttons to adjust the volume , and the speakers, located at the rear, will move to the front panel . Audiophiles may draw brand headphones Sennheiser , which Samsung supposedly going to include in the package.
The idea might look like S6, can be obtained from the official video Samsung. The configuration process service My KNOX shown on some devices, has a very thin bezel around the screen.
Model Galaxy S5 has a camera, recognized as one of the best on the market. However, its 16-megapixel sensor is not enough optical image stabilization , which boasts an 8-megapixel iPhone 6 Plus. Omission will probably be corrected in the Galaxy S6. In addition, with the release of each new model Samsung usually increases the resolution “eye”, so it is quite S6 can grow to 20-21 megapixels . A resolution of the front “selfi camera” can be reduced to 5 megapixel.
Galaxy S6 will complement the latest technology . Should be two versions of the smartphone, one of which is attributed to a 64-bit chip Exynos 7420 with eight cores (four Cortex-A53 and four Cortex-A57), and the other – Snapdragon 810, like the upcoming LG G Flex 2. Under the hood is also the flagship can be detected 3 gigabytes of RAM, graphics ARM Mali-T760 and chip Broadcom BCM4773, combining modules Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS on a single chip. The smartphone will be available with a volume of flash memory 32, 64, and 128 gigabytes. Option memory to 16 GB, too small capacity for heaped “tube”, on sale is not received.
From Galaxy S6 expect top performance . Last week, in the Network “flowed” smartphone benchmark results AnTuTu. According to them, the model S6 Edge was able to “squeeze” test as many as 60 of the 978 points – no smartphone or tablet is not sought such a measure ever. Officially, the leader remains MX 4 from the company Meizu c resulted in 48,792 points.
On the Galaxy S6 install latest version of the operating system Android – 5.0, also known as Lollipop, which will complement the proprietary shell TouchWiz. Latest Samsung optimizes the clearing of the “extra” software, services and add-ons. Presumably, the interface malovostrebovannyh get rid of such applications as Story Album, S Translator and S Voice. If necessary, users can download the software yourself from Google Play or Galaxy Apps – chain store company. “Unload” firmware, Samsung will be able to reduce its size, load faster and free up memory on smartphones.
His own applications Koreans prefer services Microsoft . According to SamMobile, on Galaxy S6 will be pre-installed messenger Skype, OneNote for note-taking, “cloud” faylohranilische OneDrive, as well as a mobile version of Office with a free subscription to Office 365. From the cooperation will benefit all: Microsoft will be able to attract a new audience to their products, and Samsung will show that Google is not the only one who can dictate the rules in the mobile market.
Galaxy S6 will have built-in wireless charging . At this opportunity a few days ago hinted Shoho Park, head of mobile and IT-division of the Korean company. “2015 will be a landmark year nd for the dissemination of wireless charging. With our upcoming Galaxy-smartphone users will be able to enter into a new world without wires, as never before,” – he wrote in a company blog.
According to Daily Mail , S6 will have the support of all three standards organizations – Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP), Power Matters Alliance (PMA), and the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). Samsung is a member of each of them. Chip that supports both magnetic induction and resonance wireless charging method, was introduced last year, and S6, most likely, will be the first device that has this technology.
Lumia 920 is charged from the “cushion”
Technology reserves replacement battery smartphone “over the air” is not new. This function, for example, have the model Nokia Lumia 920, HTC Droid DNA and the Nexus 4. Nevertheless, they all support only one of the three standard – Qi, involving direct contact with the device charges the surface.
The volume of the battery may drop – with 2800 Galaxy S5 to 2600 mAh. But taking into account the more energy-efficient processor and optimized shell TouchWiz, it is unlikely to have a major impact on the battery life of the smartphone.
As they say informants GSMArena, in the Galaxy S6 include contactless payment function , on which Samsung is working with VISA. Unlike Apple Pay, which must be NFC-compatible equipment, it will use the technology LoopPay, compatible with conventional payment terminals in stores. In addition to the flagship, the new system will be available on Galaxy S5 and Note 4.
Cost Galaxy S6 will start at 749 euros (for a model with 32 gigabytes of memory). It is almost 53 thousand rubles at the exchange rate today.
