In March this year, along with Samsung Galaxy S6 presented another flagship smartphone Galaxy S6 edge, received a curved display. Custom design fell buyers to taste and sale edge-version, despite the higher price, were better than those of traditional S6. Samsung this situation is caught by surprise, the order for the production of Galaxy S6 edge was less than S6, respectively, the company could not fully cover the demand for it. So with the release of Galaxy Note models 5 and Galaxy S6 edge +, Samsung decided to dissolve the new flagship in different corners. In most markets, the company will focus precisely on S6 edge +, while as Note 5 goes on sale yet in some countries, and expand its presence until the end of the year. What is interesting in the Galaxy S6 edge +? At first glance it may seem that this is just an enlarged S6 edge, however, the changes in the new smartphone is more than it seems.
The design, materials and ease of use
Externally, the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + really is virtually a copy of S6 edge, but their sizes make adjustments. In order to accommodate a 5.7-inch display, the housing news has increased to 154,4 × 75,8 mm to 143,4 × 70,5 at S6 edge.
Interestingly, the thickness with virtually unchanged at 6.9 mm, but the weight of the edge + increased to 153 grams. Thus, although the dimensions of the new model and more S6 edge, but in this case and is less than might be 5.7 inch smartphone. This is achieved by reducing the frames around the display. On each side of the body it seems that they do not exist at all, though it is just an illusion created by curved edges of the display. In general, it looks Galaxy S6 edge + just fine. Curved screen creates a recognizable style that other manufacturers are not yet able to repeat.
With regard to the materials of the shell, they are nothing of the Galaxy S6 edge does not different, edge + front and back panel covers the protective glass Gorilla Glass 4, and the frame body is made of aircraft grade aluminum. The build quality is not the slightest claim, all the details fit is very tight.
increase the size of the housing Galaxy S6 edge + virtually no effect on the usability of smartphone . He is quite well placed in the hand, and depending on its size, the thumb can reach the top of the screen. The same applies to the use of the smartphone with one hand.
Location of controls in S6 edge + traditional for the last generation of Samsung flagship. Below the display is a mechanical button “Home” to her left softkey multitasking, and the right – return to the interface one step back.
On the right side is the power button on the left – the volume key. They perform well over the body, and it is easy to get your thumb or forefinger.
On the bottom Galaxy S6 edge + is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, microphone, microUSB port for charging and speaker grill. Top slot nanoSIM-card and another microphone.
has already become a tradition for top-end Samsung smartphones infrared port S6 edge + not, apparently, this feature is not very popular, and it decided to remove.
Display
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + is equipped with a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560h1440 pixels (518 pixels per inch), which is bent on the sides of the body, thereby creating two additional planes.
This is largely a design element, even though a certain functional load it also carries. First, the finger is not clinging to the edge of the screen when scrolling through, and secondly, on the edge of the display, you can display additional information.
When the display is off, if you hold on the verge of a finger on it will display an information panel showing the weather, time, date, battery or warning, if any.
In the settings, the user can select several of such panels, then they will be displayed on the brink at its scrolling.
Two other functions associated with a curved display it: People edge and Apps edge. The first is familiar to us on the Review of Galaxy S6 edge, it allows you to display on the verge of the screen a small blind, when touched to which the display shows five user-selected contacts.
Apps edge works on the same principle, only instead of five contacts, displayed five applications.
As for the quality of the display Galaxy S6 edge +, the smartphone shows the same excellent and clear image as S6 edge. This also applies to color reproduction and viewing angles.
Platform and Performance
Platform Galaxy S6 edge + is built on 14-nanometer processor Exynos 7420 (4+ 4 cores) running at a frequency of 1.5 GHz and 2.1 GHz, depending on the load and on the graphics core Mali-T760MP8. The same platform is used in the flagship Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, respectively, productivity trends in synthetic tests is approximately at the same level.
But there S6 edge + and the one important difference, there is set is not 3, and 4 GB of RAM LPDDR4. It would seem that the difference is minimal, but in practice 4GB make work more comfortable with Android. Much less often confronted with the fact that the application managed to unload itself from memory, because there came to be.
The internal memory in the Galaxy S6 edge + can be 32 or 64 GB on the version of 128 GB, the Samsung is silent . Well, traditionally champions of this year, S6 edge + no slot for cards microSD.
Camera
The main camera in the Galaxy S6 edge + 16 megapixel with optical stabilization and aperture F1.9. Compared with the S6 and S6 edge module is not changed, and the special sense I was not there, it’s still one of the best cameras in smartphones.

Although the photo module in Galaxy S6 edge + remained the same, the software of the camera was slightly redesigned. In setting the added ability to save pictures in RAW, this option becomes active in the “pros.” Unfortunately, the view or edit RAW on the smartphone can not be there for that no firmware, the pictures just stored in the device memory.
Another new feature S6 edge + is a live broadcast of a video on YouTube in Full HD built means the camera.
The front camera in the Galaxy S6 edge + 5-megapixel with an aperture F1.9.
Interface
Compared to the Galaxy S6 edge, interface edge + changed a bit and for the better.
The company has used the new system icons and more efficiently reacted to the increased diagonal display. If before all interface elements in larger smartphones Samsung simply scaled to smaller screens, for example, it was Galaxy Note 4, now on display S6 edge + hold more information. By default on the desktop and on the menu used 5×5 grid that allows you to place them over application icons. The rest of the interface elements are also better scaled to fit 5.7-inch screen.
Works Galaxy S6 edge + operating system Android 5.1.1, which is the current release. The interface is excellent.
Fingerprint Reader
The Galaxy S6 edge +, as in all of its new flagship smartphone, Samsung uses a fingerprint scanner located in a mechanical button “Home”.
It is intended: to unlock the device; to login to the site through a browser Samsung; shopping in the store Galaxy Apps; and the payment system for Samsung Pay. Work fingerprint scanner in S6 edge + was just instantly. Already in the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge it was an order of magnitude better than the S5, but in a new flagship for the accuracy and speed of response exceeded all previous models.
Total Galaxy S6 edge + capable of storing scans four fingers if scan thumbs and index, it is enough to quickly unlock the smartphone. Poor scanner can operate in those cases, if you cut your finger and it is exposed to water. If S6 edge + does not turn out to recognize a finger, it prompts you to enter the backup password to unlock.
Endurance
The battery in the Galaxy S6 edge + has a capacity of 3000 mAh, which is enough for 14 hours of high-load, at 4 hours 32 minutes of screen, or the same for 1.5 days of battery life in an average load. This is a good result for a smartphone with a 5.7-inch display.
In addition, Galaxy S6 edge + supports fast wired and wireless charging.
As a result,
On Following a review of Galaxy S6 edge + can be concluded that Samsung still managed to improve and so good S6 edge. The new flagship of the users will find all the same great design, camera performance, but a 5.7-inch display, 4GB of RAM, a new interface, faster fingerprint scanner and increased autonomy. As can be seen, changes in the new product more than meets the eye. Therefore, the value of Galaxy S6 edge + came out higher than the S6 edge, it can also be called the flagship. From this comes up and positioning Galaxy S6 edge + – is, for the moment, the most top-end smartphone Samsung. And it should be noted that this is really the best smartphone in the last few years.
