Samsung worked well this year. Completely re-designed its flagship line of smartphones Galaxy S, the company began confidently conquer the premium segment, tightening competition from Apple iPhone.
It is curious that Samsung has once laid trend PHABLET its Galaxy Note, but its own premium product of this kind, the company did not have, unlike Apple, which released (largely thanks to Samsung!) iPhone 6 Plus. It Was Galaxy Note 4, the luxury giant smartphone, but in terms of design it is far from “premium” that whatever is said about the metal frame.
Given an order to correct this misunderstanding, the company came up with a fairly simple move. There seems to think that if we are already in the line smartphone with an outstanding appearance, why not just increase its diagonal?
This is how the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.
Yes, it’s really just an enlarged S6 Edge, and this decision is really justified. According to a study by the international consulting company Accenture, 48% of potential buyers of smartphones in 2015, one of the main characteristics that influence the choice of the model, called the big screen. If earlier smartphone with a diagonal of 5 inches perceived by consumers wary because of its size, but now it could be described as compact. Large screens have won.
And it looks Galaxy S6 Edge Plus really luxurious. Curved edges glass pearl which is poured under the light metal, the metal frame, accurate gray bars above and below the antennas. He attracts the mind, attracts attention. What can I say – this is the first smartphone when you look at that, my colleague, is not particularly interested in this technology, involuntarily uttered the notorious “wow».
To pay for such beauty must constantly stained glass back cover and ergonomics. Hold S6 Edge Plus uncomfortable: he tries to slide out, then bites into the palm accidentally touches the navigation keys, trying to get his finger to the top of the screen.
With one hand, use it practically impossible – still diagonal “Not Another Teen”, 5.7 inches. The curved edges that make S6 Edge Plus so beautiful, aggravating the situation. Whatever was said Samsung, functional use of them is not one indulgence. On the face of it it is possible, for example, display the time – it will be seen on the screen is locked. Or create blind access to contacts and applications. About these functions quickly forgotten, but with the consequences of such a construction inconveniences faced constantly. For example, pulling the curtain from the edge of the screen in some applications it is very difficult, it is necessary to tilt the smartphone or connect a second hand.
In general, it is not the most friendly to the palm of your smartphone, though pleased that in such a giant screen, he is still less than the iPhone 6 Plus – rather thin frame.
Find among smartphones, issued in 2015, the model is more “advanced” technologically impossible. In S6 Edge Plus perfect screen: Super AMOLED with Quad HD resolution and an incredible, fantastic color accuracy. Powerful processor Exynos and just four gigabytes of RAM – so sure. The camera, with which any man in the street feels professional photographer. This is one of the best, if not the best, smart phone camera in the world. Instant AF, plenty of shooting modes in the ideal of automation.
In general, S6 Edge Plus – a festival of technology, and in this regard, Samsung today ahead of the rest. The only thing that the device can chide – the battery life. On the day it will be enough to head in any way (5 hours of screen you get), but more is better not to count on. In standby mode, the battery takes quite considerably, probably due to the abundance of processes in the background. But fast charging works as advertised: You can fully charge a smartphone for some half an hour.
But not everything is measured by gigahertz: flagship Samsung has always been very strong, but still hampered by the non-optimized Touchwiz, add-on Android. Ugly, overloaded dozens of useless pre-installed software, it causes uncontrollable attacks of aggression in a couple of hours to use some Galaxy S4 S5. This time, thanks to the Koreans, it is not so. S6 Edge Plus virtually no brakes. With the release of Android Lollipop, Samsung seriously revamped Touchwiz, and now it looks and works great. It’s still “the same» TouchWiz, and it seems that all his problems Samsung has decided to brute force (not optimized, and the powerful “hardware”), but the result is obvious.
As much as Samsung or trying to get away from comparisons with the products Apple, in the end of this year or maybe even similarity imitation brighter than ever. Samsung did not copy the design or software features, good enough resources, skills and talent to do everything ourselves, but to apply the same approach to the development of smart phones. Gone removable batteries, a slot for memory expansion, the giant battery, protection from moisture – all that on the one hand the mass buyer was not interested, but then again, what the fans were so proud of smartphones. S6 Edge Plus handsome, non-irritating, it is convenient to use. This premium unit, one of the best smartphones in the world. The same words we used to describe the iPhone.
But it all went Galaxy line only benefit. By getting rid of many of the “crutches», Samsung has created an amazing device, perhaps the best smartphone in its history. It remains to determine whether it will be better this year. October 9 in Russia on sale iPhone 6S Plus, another contender for the title.
Autumn will be hot.
