Samsung has launched two new flagship devices. Not Samsung S6 but his handsome sister S6 edge attracts relatively the most interest. Eventually the more conventional S6 will have to sell more than the more expensive Edge, but the latter is much more eye-catching

Appearance
Samsung retired from a past in which the functionality of its devices predominated . The S6 edge is completely constructed from the idea that the top model not only inside but also outside “premium” should be. The luxury must, as it were of spalling. That is Samsung succeeded.
Right at the first encounter, you see that the designers have had much to say. Long vowed Samsung in a removable battery and a microSD card slot. Both facilities have great benefits, as well as a plastic housing the transmission and reception of benefits. For the designers, it is inconvenient to have to take this into account. It leads to compromises in the design. Now that Samsung wanted to avoid these times. The South Korean leader did not wish to regain the comments that its handsets although top, but that design is neglected.
In the background issue is that many potential buyers to believe it with all those technique. They go there without assuming that the current generation of smartphones are fast and powerful enough. That’s not such a point. Because even gears from the middle class today have all decent processors. The cameras are in that category very acceptable. The real distinction is in the design. Since the spoiled buyer still wants to pull the bag. Especially in China and other rapidly emerging economies of Southeast Asia, Samsung does not want to miss the boat. Luxury sells as well.
The S6 which is inserted into a metal housing with glass components, meets that requirement. The sister model edge looks with its curved screen that is beyond both edges, even nicer. Front and back of Gorilla Glass. Only the edge is made of metal. The edge is much slimmer than the HTC One M9. The difference you see when both devices are placed next to each other on the table. The M9 with its curved back sticking there in clear height above it. The difference with the Sony Xperia Z3 is small. However, the edge has more rounded corners than the Sony. The HTC stands out again by use of metal, namely aluminum in silver with a gold finish. Further to the HTC speakers both upstairs and downstairs very visible. Every Android model will have its own fan base. But more than her smaller Android competitors Samsung wants to rebel against Apple. Tentative conclusion is that Samsung for the first time in design offers an alternative to the iPhone 6.
Hardware
Also in terms of hardware, there are a lot of similarities. Samsung has moved towards an end Apple. As stated previously sacrificed the entrance to the microSD card. No longer needed, says Samsung, as online storage in the cloud by default. That’s cheaper. And also safer because a card can give the quit.
More dramatic is the decision to completely build the battery. You can not change it yourself. Too bad because with a new battery, a four year old S6 still experience a second childhood. Definitely a device with such a high price tag do you use as long as possible. Are you yourself bored you can buy one another so much fun doing it. Another disadvantage of a closed construction is that repair is very difficult. It is a huge job to replace a part. A stark contrast to previous Galaxy S models.
The battery life is good, but far from spectacular. Compared with the S5 both novices have a less powerful battery. Too Bad. Quite clever is that in 10 minutes for four hours “average use” can be recharged. Furthermore, there is the possibility of free charging. Until recently, you had to do a table charger (charging pad) and a special case, the price could rise quickly to 100 euros. Samsung has managed these kits simpler, more compact and cheaper.
The full specifications can be found here.
Screen
Impressive is the quad HD screen that has a curvature on both sides. Do not think the technique is stopped here. However, progress is less visible than, say, three years ago. The facts are convincing. The screen of the S6 offers 77 percent more pixels than its predecessor S6. And who had a fine screen. The pixel density is significantly higher than that of the iPhone 6.
The charge also much faster. Two to three years ago, the wireless technology was only 20 to 30 percent faster than the traditional way. Since then, the rate has doubled. The fingerprint reader works easier. Registering the fingerprint is so done. Then that recognizes your fingerprint with great precision.
Camera
The camera of the S6 excels. Especially in poor light condition which are male. What a difference with the HTC One M9. While Samsung sharp displays the details, HTC has been vague and grainy. Of all Android manufacturers Samsung made all the best cameras. Especially the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is capable of a lot. But the S6 exceeds these parts, although the difference is not very large. The S6 gives something warmer colors. Everything is still natural. The size of the pixels is increased. You notice it when you zoom in on the image. Only when you increase significantly, the image is blurred. The camera is continuously in a standby mode. Therefore, he can come to life in 0.7 seconds. Especially with small children who may be unexpectedly funny, it’s so nice to be able to quickly take a picture. The S6 also focuses quickly. It cost him little effort to track moving objects.
Software
Samsung has merely in adding their own apps. Wise. It took a long time before Samsung realized that all that do not have their own tryouts. Most users anything but sit there waiting. Lollipop, the latest version of Android, has plenty to offer. Who still wants more, can call on Samsung’s own Android store. S Planner, S Health and S Voice are useful additions.
Price and similar models
The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Galaxy edge are available from 10 April. The S6 is available from € 699 (32GB) and S6 Edge from € 849 (32GB). Android Users looking for a device in the class can also opt for the HTC One M9 (€ 749) or Sony Xperia Z3 (from € 469 16GB). Users who do not necessarily need the latest products, can also choose predecessor Galaxy S5 which is already available from € 400 (16GB). The iPhone 6 (€ 699, 16GB) may be an alternative.
Conclusion
The S6 and S6 edge are determined not to. But devices with such a high price you can also expect a lot. Because for half the price you have very handsome middle class. The total experience both giving Samsung is definitely positive. Screen and camera are even better.
However, the battery is not removable. The microSD slot is sacrificed to the design. Anyone who does not really care about design, will rightly ask themselves whether the installation of the battery and the omission of the microSD slot now it was sensible. The whole back is made of glass, interrupted only by the rear camera and flash.
For improvement remains the battery. The S6 and S6 especially the edge are serious competitors for the iPhone 6. Technically, Samsung surpassed Apple parts. But the question is whether the true Apple fan is sensitive to

I must say that the appearance of the edge 
I do have to order. But the megapixels in terms of the camera! Selfies so much :))

I’m still waiting for a device just below here: one with a 1080p screen. The extremely high resolution of 1440p on a 5 “device is completely useless and it only costs more (graphic) processor power and therefore battery life. In that respect, the screen of the previous S5 all perfect. So hope Samsung S5 once in a aluminum housing stops;)
