  • Samsung Unveils Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge; Both Feature Incredibly Fast Charging Capabilities

    Samsung Unveils Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge; Both Feature Incredibly Fast Charging Capabilities

    The much anticipated forthcoming flagship from Samsung has finally been officially unwrapped. Our earlier leak might have ruined surprises, if there were any. As expected, there are indeed two versions of the flagship – one with the standard screen while the other one is a curved display.

    Watch our Hands On with the new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge here:

    The normal Galaxy S6 boasts a slightly larger screen size than its predecessor with a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED QuadHD display with a pixel density of 577PPI. Powering the new Galaxy S6 will be an Exynos Octa-Core chipset clocked at 2.1 Ghz which is bundled with a 3GB LPDDR4.

    Meanwhile, in terms of optics, it retains the same 16MP count just like its predecessor, though it gets OIS which was missing in its previous iteration. In addition, it also gets a 5MP front facing camera.

    On the memory front, the Galaxy S6 will be available in three variant, 32, 64 and 128 GB variants. All based on UFS 2.0 (Universal Flash Storage). And yes, just like the iPhone – the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge will not have micro SD expandability.

    Connectivity on the new flagship has been given a slight upgrade, it gets LTE Cat 6 compatibility, while other connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, while globally unlocked variants will work on TDD and FDD  LTE bands so networks should not be a problem for Samsung this time around. It also gets a fingerprint scanner while juicing up the smartphone would be 2550mAh battery.

    Coming to its curved counterpart, all specs and features  are the same except it gets a slightly beefier battery unit at 2600mAh along with an Exynos Octa core chipset clocked at 2.5Ghz. Meanwhile, the edge is mostly for aesthetic appeal. At the event the company announced that it took upto 800 Degree to bend the Gorilla Glass 4 display.

    Samsung has included quick charging and wireless charging capabilities in the new S6 and the S6 Edge. The company claims that a 10 minute charge will result in 4 hours of usage.

    Charging the Galaxy from 0-100 takes the half the time as the iPhone 6

    The pricing remains a question (which should be answered shortly), however it is rumored that the Galaxy S6 Edge will cost more than the Note Edge did at launch.

    We have pitted them against each other for a closer look at their specifications:

  • Samsung’s Forthcoming Flagship, Galaxy S6 Leaked in a Promotional Image

    Samsung’s Forthcoming Flagship, Galaxy S6 Leaked in a Promotional Image

    A new promotional image of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge has popped up on the Internet, this time courtesy of a Reddit user. The promotional image does lineup fairly well with the recently leaked images and specifications.

    While the images appear rather authentic, there are a few things that do seem a bit out of place. Firstly, the Galaxy Edge is written in both lower and upper case. In the text description, the ‘Edge’ appears in uppercase, while the logo towards the bottom of the ad shows it in lower case. Moreover, the use of ‘GS6’ seems rather odd.

    Though one thing the promotional image does confirm is that there are indeed two versions of the flagship – one with the standard screen while the other one is a curved display.

    The Mobile World Congress is just around the corner, we’ll have to wait just a little longer before Samsung makes its official announcement.

  • Report : Samsung’s Forthcoming Galaxy S6 Likely To Get An Outrageous Price Tag

    Report : Samsung’s Forthcoming Galaxy S6 Likely To Get An Outrageous Price Tag

    Samsung’s upcoming flagship is creating quite a buzz. With only a few days left before its official announcement in Barcelona, a new report suggests that Samsung is launching both the curved and the normal Galaxy S6 at a rather outrageous price point.  Moreover, carriers are also reportedly having a hard time getting enough stock of the curved Galaxy S6, suggesting that Samsung might be having manufacturing issues with its curved display.

    Much has already been revealed about Samsung’s forthcoming flagship, with the Korean manufacturer expected to announce the Galaxy S6 at the Mobile World Congress next week. The new report also confirms there will be two versions of the Galaxy S6 – a normal version and a curved version sporting curved edges on either sides of the device.

    In both cases, pricing is quite exorbitant, apparently higher than the iPhone. For the non curved display – European pricing is €749 ($849), €849 ($963), and €949 ($1,076) for the 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB models respectively. While for its curved variant, the source says one can add €100 to each of the above figures.

    Meanwhile, Indian pricing will be a lot more complex than simply converting Euros to Rupees, thanks to our rigid tax structure. But even without considering external variables that would affect the overall pricing, both the upcoming flagship variants are priced way above the launch price of the Galaxy S5. This could be a cause for concern unless the hardware is truly spectacular.

    Expect the Samsung Galaxy S6 to be unveiled at an unpacked event in Barcelona on Sunday. We’ll be there to bring you live updates, stay tuned for more.
