Lab test Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge: best screens … – The Digital

zero Afresh, strike a blow, remove the specter of a Galaxy S5 subdued: the Galaxy S Series 2015 vintage is more than one way a great bet for Samsung. A bet that goes through the design, functionality, but also by the screen. And it is clear that the Korean manufacturer has rolled up his sleeves, since no more suspense, we have with the Galaxy S6 and S6 his sidekick curve Edge the two best mobile screens ever seen so far. Just that. Explanation.
clear=”all”/> Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Galaxy Edge are the real mobile telephony upscale event early this year 2015. Samsung has insured, it started from scratch to offer a different vision of the Galaxy S. The result is segment two smartphones that combine metal and glass, house octal-core Exynos chip 7, RAM and 3 GB of storage capacity (not expandable) declined in 32, 64 and 128 GB. For its meters by 5.1 inches (12.9 cm diagonal), Samsung retains Super AMOLED technology and offers a high definition 2560 x 1440 px, inducted by the Galaxy Note 4 last fall. Version “Edge” is identical in all respects to S6 except that it has a curved screen on its side edges, which implies a differentiated design.

Before publishing the complete tests of these two smartphones We propose here to watch especially their screens. Samsung was expected to turn, who, Galaxy (S or Note) after Galaxy, roughly pushes the limits of the AMOLED technology he introduced himself on mobility. Do not go by four paths, the result is simply amazing and establishes for the Galaxy S6 like his sidekick S6 Edge, a new standard in the mobile display.

 
 

First, it is worth noting that, as usual product mid to high range of the Korean company, these smartphones have their settings for multiple display modes : Adaptive (the display adjusts its display depending on the content, in theory the best way possible), Photo, Movie and Basic. Let’s go straight out: it is absolutely useless to dwell on the first three modes, which offer nothing of interest and no progression, with reports of accurate colors but not sensational, some color drifts on the overall tone and a little bright white. Cinema Mode, for example, sees its colorimetry to 8.8 in average delta E and tender display to a slight sepia.

C’est selecting the Basic mode both Samsung’s new are the cannons. First, we note, AMOLED technology requires that the contrast is infinite, with abyssal black, all supported by a maximum brightness 360 cd / m ² , which, though it may appear at first sight far from 450 to over 650 cd / m ² that can be crossed on an Apple iPhone 6 or More Sony Xperia Z3, more than enough in OLED type environment.
 
 

color rendering reached a never before seen on mobile and tablet natural. If the iPhone 6 Plus proposed a colorimetric 1.9, here the Galaxy S6 displays a bit better with 1.8 and Edge Version 1.4 goes so far! Colorimetry ever closer to the extreme loyalty, and above a display up among the natural. Especially as the Galaxy Edge S6 perfect addition offering an ideal color temperature to 6578 K (and GS6, excellent temperature 6368 K). The overall effect is striking. A little more than for the Apple iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, Galaxy and Galaxy Edge S6 S6 give the impression of dealing with fake products, as their screens exclude any approximation – a feeling reinforced by the curvature of the model ” Edge “.
Side reactivity with 35 ms delay only touch the two smartphones are ranked in the top tier mobile to the most reactive tiles, the winner is currently still another Samsung, the Galaxy Note Edge with 27 ms. Most touch behind mobility returns for the time in the world of tablets (iPad Air 2 with 9 ms). As for latency, AMOLED forces, it is close to zero with 4 ms. Between the power delivered by the Galaxy S6 and these data, it shows extremely reactive terminal without streaking effect on the navigation OS, reading and web scrolling or ghosting in videos.

We will soon evolve this report to include our new reflectance measurement; it helps to objectively determine the capacity of mobile products to manage unwanted reflections and thus provide a more or less good readability. Note: the above photos, the Edge S6 accuses direct reflections of our spotlight on its curved sides, but in normal use, indoors and outdoors, the phenomenon has never happened. In the state and to the naked eye between the infinite contrast, good brightness and gloss slab relative, the GS6 and GS6 Edge offer excellent readability bill, although accompanied by a reading comfort, thanks their pixel density of 575 dots per inch – increased by almost 25% on a mobile screen 5-inch Full HD. The effective gain between the two definitions is not necessarily obvious, but this display Samsung Master “maousse” without penalizing working machinery in the background.

Samsung birth therefore, ultimately, the two best mobile screens never crossed date and one even close to perfection on the display of Galaxy S6 Edge. The brand had at heart to send a strong message to all competition with its new racing machines. It seems here that part of the letter made its way.

We give appointments in the coming days to complete our testing Galaxy S6 and S6 Galaxy Edge. Meanwhile, we will do a walk through the photo party without revealing too much – and after a duel between S6 and iPhone 6 Plus -, has also its say.
