\n
\nWe spent some time with the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge at the showcase event to see whether the two new smartphones are worth the hype and if these can be the iPhone challengers that Samsung desperately needs them to be... Here's what we think:
\n
\nDisplay<\/strong>
\nSamsung has upped the pixel density on Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge to the highest among all smartphones by slapping 2K (1440x2560p) resolution on their 5.1-inch displays. We believe that this exercise is not of much value since the pixel density on Full HD screens (1080x1920p) is high enough, and a 2K panel doesn't add much to the experience.
\n
\nIn terms of quality, both SuperAMOLED displays offer excellent sharpness, viewing angles and contrast. We can't give a judgement on sunlight legibility until we get a review unit that we can around under direct sunlight. Samsung has been able to balance the colours a little more over last year's Galaxy S5, so the greenish tinge of AMOLED screens is a lot less noticeable now, though we still won't say that it is completely gone.
\n
\n
\nThe Edge screen on Galaxy S6 Edge is on both sides this time, up from just one side as is the case with Galaxy Note Edge. though this is an engineering feat, it still does not add as much of value as you would think since the Edge screen features can be used on only one side at a time.
\n
\nMoreover, the Galaxy S6 Edge's curved panel is not independent of the main display, as it is in Galaxy Note Edge. therefore, you lose out on the feature that gives you one-touch access to apps and widgets by just swiping on the home screen. You can only check out missed notifications using the Edge screen on Galaxy S6 Edge, but not a lot more.
\n
\nThis feature, however, is still available if the screen is locked; just rub the Edge screen when the phone is asleep and the curved display will light up. Samsung is also letting you set colour codes for your contacts, so that the Edge screen will light up when they call and your phone is facing downwards.
\n
\nA huge improvement? We think not. The features, though not available on other phones, are still limited and can't even compare to those on Galaxy Note Edge.
\n
\nDesign<\/strong>
\nThe design is a huge improvement over Galaxy S5, using metal and glass and dumping plastic altogether.
\n
\nThe Galaxy S6 Edge is of course thinner at the sides than the Galaxy S6, but both of them look the same apart from that. The metal body is similar to the one we have seen in Galaxy Alpha and Note 4, but has a tougher feel to it due to the polish and thus does not look as premium.
\n
\nThe glass panel on the back is a fingerprint magnet, and surrounds the camera lens. The camera lens, which is also surrounded by metal on all sides, protrudes a little.
\n
\nAt the bottom is the speaker grill, charging port and speaker, making the new phones look way too much like iPhones for comfort.
\n
\nHowever, the overall effect of the new design is pretty good and marks a huge move away from the plastic body that Samsung is known for.
\n
\nSoftware<\/strong>
Samsung made a point to showcase the software improvements it has introduced with the two new smartphones. TouchWiz is based on Android<\/a> 5.0 now and, thus, is full of animations that you can't miss, courtesy Material Design. And you will also notice the much smaller number of preinstalled Samsung apps in the smartphone instantly.
\n
\nThe simpler, more intuitive UI, as Samsung calls it, is not as much in your face as you would expect it to be after years of using the cluttered TouchWiz. However, its subtle quality is also hard to discern without using it for a few hours at least.
\n
\nThe hardware<\/strong>
\nInside, Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge pack the 2.1GHz octa-core processor and 3GB RAM, which make for a powerful and extremely responsive smartphone when combined with the Android 5.0-based TouchWiz. We noticed no lag, which TouchWiz is criticised for widelh, at all during the time we spent with the smartphones.
\n
\nFor the first time, the back panel is not removable and you can't place a microSD card for storage expansion. Instead, you get 32, 64 and 128GB options; Samsung says that the new flash memories it has used make the process up to 80% faster.
\n
\n
\n
\nThe battery is 2,600mAh in capacity, smaller than the one in Galaxy S5. However, the fast-charging tech Samsung has used can charge the phones from nil to 100% in just 30-40 minutes. And charging the phone for just 10 minutes will ensure that it lasts for up to 4 hours, Samsung claims.
\n
\nSamsung has replaced the swiping gesture from the fingerprint sensor such that you need to press the Home button to register the fingerprint, like you do iPhones.
\nCamera<\/strong>
\nThe 16MP rear camera of Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge is great for lowlight photography, Samsung claims, as the sensor is now able to capture up to 60% more light now. However, we were unable to test this as the demo area was way too well lit.
\n
\n
\n
\nThe camera's indoor photography skills are top notch, capturing all the details and delivering great colours and contrast. We will need to spend more time to decide how much of an improvement it is over the cameras of rivals.
\n
\nHowever, we can safely say that the selfie camera has got a huge boost since last year. The 5MP front camera captures just as much light as does the rear camera. This means much clearer, brighter selfies for you. On the software side, you get features like beauty mode and wide-angle selfie for better self-portraits. What we think<\/strong>
\nSamsung has pressed all the right buttons with its new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. The phone has enough consumer-centric features to make it a decent rival to the new, fast-selling iPhones.
\n
The best thing about Samsung's new smartphones is that they are more of a revolution than an evolution, unlike HTC<\/a> One M9. Plus, Galaxy S6 Edge has the dual curved screens as its distinguishing feature, which is likely to entice many buyers.

巴塞罗那:三星已经完全重启的和昨天发布的智能手机行吗星系S6和S6优势智能手机。智能手机在设计上类似于模型推出了自去年9月以来,但你很难相信他们是同一个家庭的一部分,催生了星系S5和S3。
我们花了一些时间与银河系S6和S6边缘展示事件这两个新智能手机是否值得炒作,如果这些可以iPhone的竞争对手,三星迫切需要他们……我们认为:
显示
三星已经加大了对星系S6和S6边缘的像素密度最高的在所有智能手机,2 k (1440 x2560p)分辨率在5.1英寸的显示器。我们相信,这个练习的价值并不多因为全高清屏幕上像素密度(1080 x1920p)足够高,和一个2 k面板不增加太多的经验。
就质量而言,这两个SuperAMOLED显示屏提供出色的清晰度,视角和对比度。我们不能给出一个判断阳光易读性,直到我们得到一个复习单元,我们可以在阳光直射下。三星已经能够平衡颜色稍微比去年的星系S5,所以绿色色调的AMOLED屏幕现在明显少得多,但我们仍然不会说它是完全消失了。
屏幕上边缘星系S6边缘两侧,从一侧与星系一样注意边缘。尽管这是一个工程的壮举,它仍然不添加尽可能多的有价值的你会认为从屏幕边缘特性只能用于一方。
此外,银河系S6边缘的弯曲面板不是独立的主要显示在星系注意边缘。因此,您失去了功能,给您几次访问应用程序和小部件通过在主屏幕上轻轻划过。你只能看看错过通知使用屏幕上的星系边缘S6边缘,但不是很多。
这个特性,但是,仍然可用,如果屏幕锁定;只是擦屏幕边缘电话时睡着了,弯曲的烟花将点亮。三星也让你为联系人设置颜色代码,这样边打电话时屏幕将会照亮你的手机正面临向下。
一个巨大的改进?我们认为不是。的特性,虽然没有在其他手机上,仍然是有限的,甚至不能与那些星系注意边缘。
设计
设计是一个巨大的进步在星系S5,使用金属和玻璃和倾销塑料。
银河系S6边缘当然是薄在双方比星系S6,但是他们看起来一样。金属体类似于一个星系α和注意4中我们看到,但由于波兰更强硬的感觉,因此看起来并不像溢价。
玻璃面板背面是一个指纹磁铁,和围绕着镜头。镜头,也是各方金属包围,突出一点。
底部是演讲者烤架,充电端口和扬声器,使新iphone手机看起来太像安慰。
然而,新设计的整体效果很好,标志着一个巨大的身体远离塑料,三星而闻名。
软件
三星强调展示的软件改进它引入了两个新的智能手机。TouchWiz是基于安卓5.0现在,因此充满了动画,你不能错过,礼貌材料设计。你也会注意到小得多的预装立即三星在智能手机的应用程序。
更简单、更直观的用户界面,三星的电话,不是尽可能多的在你的脸上,你期望它会使用凌乱TouchWiz经过多年的。然而,其微妙的质量也很难辨别至少几个小时不使用它。
硬件
内,三星Galaxy S6和S6边缘包2.1 ghz octa-core处理器和3 gb内存,使得一个强大的和极其敏感的智能手机结合基于Android 5.0的TouchWiz时。我们注意到没有滞后,批评widelh TouchWiz,期间我们与智能手机了。
第一次,后板不是可移动和你不能把microSD卡存储扩张。相反,你会得到64和128 gb选项;三星说,让这一过程使用的新的闪存快80%。
电池容量2600 mah,小于一个星系S5。然而,充电快技术可以使用三星手机从零到100%在30 - 40分钟。和充电10分钟的电话将确保它持续时间长达4小时,三星索赔。
三星已经取代了刷指纹传感器的姿态,这样你需要按Home键注册指纹,像你的iphone。
相机
16像素的后置摄像头的星系S6和S6边缘适合低潮摄影,现在三星声称,随着传感器可以捕捉到现在60%更多的光。然而,我们无法测试这个演示区太充足。
相机的室内摄影技巧是顶级的,捕获所有的细节和交付伟大的颜色和对比度。我们需要花更多的时间来决定多少改善的相机为你的竞争对手。
然而,我们可以安全地说有问题自去年以来相机有一个巨大的推动。5像素前置摄像头捕捉光线一样后置摄像头。这意味着更清晰,明亮selfies给你。在软件方面,得到功能美模式和广角有问题更好的自画像。我们认为
三星已敦促所有正确的按钮的新星系S6和S6边缘。手机有足够的以消费者为中心的特性使它成为一个像样的对手,畅销的iphone。
最好的关于三星的新智能手机是他们比一个进化的一场革命,不像宏达电一个M9。另外,星系S6边缘有双重弯曲屏幕作为其特色,可能会吸引许多买家。
