The Galaxy S6 Edge + Samsung has combined its most advanced developments – Galaxy S6 Edge design with curved edges on the screen and a large 5.7-inch diagonal line of devices Galaxy Note. What is the use of futuristic PHABLET, found Vesti.Hi-tech.
Appearance, ergonomics
The curves of glass and metal, fused together in Galaxy S6 Edge +, are unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. Still XXI century in the court of the second decade, it is time to say goodbye to the “flat” phones and an example to something more interesting.
After releasing the spring Galaxy S6 Edge with standard inch curved screen, Samsung has underestimated demand for this model, giving priority to the production of” flat »Galaxy S6. As a result, in many markets the curved flagship was in short supply, and the usual collecting dust in warehouses. Therefore, in the fall, presenting a couple of flagship smartphones with increased screen size, Koreans have decided to give priority to the curved model in some markets (such as Western Europe) “flat» Galaxy Note 5 generally will not sell.
In general, the interest in the smartphone with a curved screen is clear – the gadget looks really very nice. Some of this fall, to prove their “advanced” have long to explain that their doroguschy smartphone with last year’s appearance concealed an advanced filling, improved camera and sensors that measure the force pressing on the screen. Owners Galaxy S6 Edge + can simply get your smartphone out of your pocket. The device, along with the Galaxy 6 and 6 Edge, perhaps the most beautiful ever been produced Samsung. Beautiful, of course, exactly as long as the user does not touch him – while using a smartphone, especially in the color “Black Sapphire” instantly takes sloppy appearance of fingerprints.
Well, Of course, beauty and comfort are not always easy to get along together. Personally, I have no major complaints to ergonomics Galaxy S6 Edge + there is – a gadget in your hand no worse than other premium smartphones of the same size, made of the same “slippery” materials, glass and metal. Moreover, the curved screen has reduced the width of the housing to 75.8 mm – is, for example, half a centimeter less than the 5.5-inch Galaxy Note II, issued in 2012, and at the same half a centimeter larger than the compact Galaxy S6. It weighs 153 grams gadget – it’s 39 grams or more than 20 percent less than the 192-gram iPhone 6s Plus with a smaller 5.5-inch screen. Incidentally, the width of the “apple” PHABLET also larger Galaxy S6 Edge +, though it has a smaller screen.
Galaxy S6 Edge + – this is the most easily fits in the hand 5.7-inch smartphone. Call it a “shovel” language does not turn, and bringing it to his ear does not feel uncomfortable. Facets of the body are more comfortable than the Galaxy S6 Edge, and his hand did not crash. Another thing is that for the “one-armed” use the gadget is still not very convenient, especially when it comes to typing. There are problems with the application and, in the interface which controls are placed at the edges of the screen – a part from being pressed accidentally.
In addition, it is inconvenient to press with your thumb to hold the device in the hands of the “home”, and indeed are constantly afraid that the device slides out of his hands. Note Galaxy housing 5, which is rounded back rather than the front, in the hand easier. On the other hand, from the 5.7-inch device is not necessary, in principle, expect a comfortable use with one hand, it has to smart phones 4.7-5.2 inch diagonal. But in any case it is strongly recommended that before deciding to buy a smartphone in the hands twist to better understand whether the unusual design suitable for you.
A lot has been criticized Samsung’s bulging camera modules – say, spoil the whole beauty. Maybe the unit with a completely flat back, and would have been nicer. But pick it off the table with one hand it would be difficult, given the very narrow and rounded edges. And the projection camera provides a gap through which the body is easy to pick up with your fingers.
screen, camera, speed
From the point of of picture quality SuperAMOLED display Galaxy S6 Edge + is perfect – in the presence of a deep black color, rich but not “acid”, color, and clarity QHD-resolution, which is a stock exceeds the capabilities of the human eye to distinguish individual pixels (here their 518 per inch). On the picture screen certainly better that Apple puts in the iPhone 6 Plus, both in terms of color, and in terms of margin of brightness. Under direct sunlight mode is activated “super-bright” (nearly 800 candelas) – colors are affected, but all you can see.
But there is one feature, due to the shape of the screen – at the edges, where they bent back, the picture is due to changes in the angle of view is obscured. This can be annoying when viewing photos or full-screen video. For the rest, look at the screen Galaxy S6 Edge + – a pleasure. By default, the smartphone adjusts the color reproduction itself depending on the situation, as there are three profiles, which, if desired, can be activated manually – “Movie”, “Photo” and “main».
The Samsung categorically do not want to admit that bent display – useless, although high-tech, embellishment. Therefore bending gave “the unique functionality.” Firstly, you can assign certain areas to “slant” of the screen, so that when you click on them appeared panel with selected applications or shortcuts to your favorite contacts. Each contact is assigned a color, and then when an incoming call can be identified caller even when the Smartphone is face down simply by the color of the backlight of the bent portion of the display.
Second, the slant of the display can be used to display information when smart phone is charged and the screen is off. It turns out a kind of bedside night light, displaying the time and favorites such notification of missed calls. It’s really good, though hardly for the sake of this one is to pay more for premium smart phone.
In a review of Samsung Galaxy S6, I wrote that the Korean company is currently one of the leaders in the smartphone photo and video. The Galaxy S6 Edge + uses the same camera module and software as issued in the spring of compact “flagship.” In terms of convenience, the main “trick” here – almost instantly start camera by double-pressing the “home”. Besides, the camera interface is very fast and at once, the default is not overloaded with unnecessary elements:
Examples of the photo below, show that, except for missteps with some exposure shots in cloudy weather (it is not enough saturated colors, the frame is too dark) and” shake “inaccurate when shooting indoors, photographs Galaxy S6 Edge + fine. The main thing is that the vast majority of high-quality images are obtained “on the machine”, without messing around with the settings and the choice of a special regime. Although if you want you can set any parameters manually or select a special shooting mode. And here the optical stabilization is not only the primary but also in front of the camera, so that SELF too, everything will be fine. Like the Galaxy S6, the latest Samsung smartphone is able to shoot video in the resolution of 4K.
Full gallery of photos taken by the camera Galaxy S6 Edge +, can be viewed at this link.
To repeat all the same thing that happened in the review of Galaxy S6, I see no reason – the filling from vehicles is identical, except that the RAM at Edge + 4 GB instead of 3 like a compact unit and more capacious battery – 3000 mAh. As a result, in the use of your smartphone is not observed even fleeting snubs and battery confident enough for a full day, including the most intense. In video playback, for example, Galaxy S6 Edge + worked without a break more than 10 hours, and graphic-laden games discharge the battery by about 30% per hour.
Separately want to praise the work of the built-in button “Home” Fingerprint Sensor fingers – unlocking using it is a snap. The only thing that can prevent the successful reading of papillary pattern – moisture on the skin. And most of all upsets, as in the Galaxy S6, lack of support for memory card – 32 GB built-in storage for many active users may not be enough.
Interface Galaxy S6 Edge + is no different from the interface Galaxy S6. On top of Android 5.1.1 installed the same TouchWiz latest version – with far less egregious differences from stock Android, works quickly and smoothly, but ridiculous for my taste colors and a number of other differences from the canonical interface developed by Google. It is gratifying that in store for the Galaxy-devices is finally available, and several design options made with observance of the majority rules “material design”, one of them just in the photographs featured smartphone in this review. Still, even with such a serious theme of the interface is different from the classic Android, which we see in the Nexus, and modified much stronger than, for example, devices Sony. And by default, it looks like this:
Purchase conclusions
Galaxy S6 Edge + – one of the most expensive smartphones on the market today (luxury models in gold and diamonds, we take into account we will not). A more expensive configuration – with 64 GB of internal memory – in Russia decided not to take. 32-gigabyte version of the latest Samsung flagship is (with the manufacturer’s warranty) 50 000, ie 5 000 rubles more expensive 16-gigabyte iPhone 6 Plus and in the 5000 64-gigabyte cheaper. It would be interesting to compare the device with a new flagship from Sony – Xperia Z5 Premium crazy with 4K-display. However, the ruble price of the latter is not yet known, but the actual performance and the quality of photos and video while it is necessary to guess only.
For 50 000 buyer Galaxy S6 Edge + gets the most productive, technologically advanced, and (here is, of course, matter of taste), one of the most beautiful Android-smartphone with a large screen. As for convenience, it is – a piece, first, subjective, and, secondly, a matter of habit. We can not say that the Galaxy S6 Edge + is the most convenient form of housing, however, is not even suitable for use with one hand, the device is probably the most convenient device with a diagonal of more than 5.5 inches. On top of that, it’s easy to use and outstanding high-end photography camera. So, with a budget of 50 000 rubles to buy a new smartphone, Galaxy S6 Edge + exactly is regarded as one of the options.
So, to sum up the review of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge +
Pros :
- The unique futuristic design, luxurious materials housing
- Excellent image quality on the screen
- One of the best cameras on the market
- For the 5.7-inch device is very compact smart phone

- non-expandable memory
- high (as well as any imported goods under the current ruble exchange rate) price
