In contrast to last year’s model, the body of which were made mostly of plastic, based S6 and S6 Edge formed glass and metal. Also, the device got a new design created, according to representatives of Samsung, from scratch.
The diagonal displays both devices – 5.1-inch screen resolution – 1440 x 2560 uses a proprietary matrix – Super AMOLED. The display is protected by tempered glass Gorliia Glass 4. The distinctive feature of S6 Edge became curved on the sides of the screen. Home Galaxy S6 model with 32 GB of memory will cost 49,990 rubles., And S6 Edge – 54 990 rub. We present you an interview with Hongkou Eo, one of the key designers of the smartphone.
Why did you decide to change the appearance of the line Galaxy S?
We realized that it’s time to do it right now. The mobile phone industry is developing very fast, so we decided to take a break and revised approach to everything that concerns our product. It’s not just about the design: marketers, programmers and engineers have teamed together to decide what we really want to achieve. In my opinion, as a result, we all perfectly turned out
Unlike previous flagship Samsung, Galaxy S6 in metal housing and glass back cover. What principles guided you to create a new image of its flagship, and what you want to achieve?
We wanted to create a truly premium phone. Our main mission was to find the right materials. We do not want a smartphone that only looks beautiful, we had to be sure that he is also perfectly functional. Smartphones are becoming thinner every year, but at the same time (if we consider the traditional approach to design) felt if I may say so, too “cold”, industrial. Creating Galaxy S6, on the contrary, we tried to give the appearance of his “heat”. Therefore, in the case of the smartphone is used glass, beneath it there is a special layer that adds visual depth to it. A metal frame is designed to protect the glass.
Apple has released two metal smartphone this year. Has the company’s decision to completely change the design of their flagships of the fact that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is selling very well?
No, these events are not connected. We started with our own market research, feedback from our customers and follow our own philosophy. We have found that our customers want different versions of S6, and released them.
Speaking of buyers. How do you see the owner of Galaxy S6 edge?
First of all, a person who is interested in technology who wants to have the most advanced smartphone to date.
We already have a Samsung phone with a curved screen, Galaxy Note Edge. And there on the beveled face of allotted number of useful functions. In S6 edge they are not. Does this mean that the decision to bend the screen of the smartphone has been made mainly on the basis of design considerations?
Yes, basically. Although the Galaxy S6 edge is easy to handle. The thing is that the S-series smartphones and rulers Note different philosophy. Note 4 – is primarily a tremendous functionality. A developing Samsung Galaxy S6, we sought to achieve ideal ergonomics.
So you did not change the screen size?
Exactly. Samsung Galaxy S6 is thinner than Galaxy S5 and 2 mm narrower. We had to work hard to achieve that.
Will the future Samsung devices updated design? For example, a new Note or tablets Galaxy Tab?
I wish I could tell you, but I can not! I will say this: we are always ready for something new.
