Launched simultaneously with the Galaxy S6, the new Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 marks a great revolution for the builder with its metal frame and a revolution in the mobile world with its curved screen.

● The bold design
Aesthetically very successful, Galaxy S6 Edge stands out from its competitors with an original design, mainly due to its curved screen on the sides. A feature inherited from the Galaxy Note Edge, though less pronounced. Metal structure inspires confidence while it catches the eye with its ultra-thin profile (7mm) and the perfect junction with the screen. A far cry from previous models of the manufacturer which favored plastic. Lightweight (132 g), the Galaxy Edge S6 is well in hand … if firmly: it can slide easily because of its curved edges
● The spectacular display
First, it is a beautiful AMOLED screen of 5.1 inches. It displays 2560 × 1440 points with a remarkable contrast, excellent color balance and unprecedented precision (577 dpi). So much believed see pages printed by browsing websites or by consulting the news feeds. Videos and pictures happily enjoying the quality of the screen, the curved portion seeming increase the display space. Too bad the screen, protected by the most resistant glass, Gorilla Glass 4, easily retains fingerprints.
The side edges can be used when the screen is off, display titles news, notifications (missed calls, incoming messages) or the date and time. More interesting to quickly contact friends, simply select one of the favorites that appear when you slide your finger from the right of the screen. Using the appropriate icon, you can call them, send them a text or email. And as each contact is associated with a color, the corresponding one immediately identified by a flashing color without holding the phone. A small color bar indicates missed calls: by pulling the center of the screen, time is obtained for communication and the ability to recall
● Camera. premier
His 16-megapixel rear sensor makes the Edge S6 one of the most successful smartphones in shooting. Ultra-fast trigger, particularly bright images, including in low light, and an optical stabilization system that performs its function perfectly. Among the innovations, the Virtual Photo mode allows a 360 ° image from several shots circulars.
We also appreciate the ability to instantly launch the camera by pressing twice the main button of the device, and uncluttered interface that allows you to quickly choose the main options.
The screen naturally flatters the appearance of images, but we can not fail to recognize Samsung has set the bar high on the photo of his smartphone. As a bonus, the sensor can shoot Ultra HD (3840 × 2160) … but for 5 minutes. Finally, the front camera of 5 megapixels is well armed for selfies with its wide angle lens.
● The equipment neat
With the new octo-heart 64-bit processor and ultra-fast memory 3 GB, Galaxy Edge S6 is particularly reactive. It is a pleasure to navigate interface, simplified advantageously on this model, launch applications and execute known power-hungry games.
On this model, Samsung has abandoned the disastrous sensor Fingerprint S5 which required him to slide your finger in favor of a similar scheme to that of the iPhone 6 where you just put your finger. Now the system works.
The Edge S6 may be accompanied by an induction charger, but using a cable, the battery recharges more quickly. According to our tests, its autonomy reached more than a day in standard use, and even nearly two days with moderate use.
What angers
● The non-removable battery
Samsung chose to integrate the battery Edge S6 the housing, making it impossible replacement. Question design and technical imperative. Damage. This feature allowed to give a facelift to older models. It will now bring himself to throw his phone when the battery will hold a charge
● The non-expandable memory
Bad surprise. We must . content to the internal memory of the phone, available in 32GB or 64GB Do not rely on a memory card to expand storage capacity or transfer your data: this model has no SD slot. Samsung’s clashes initiative for a camera in this price.
● The exorbitant price
Beautiful object, the Galaxy Edge S6 is also an accessory Luxury … count between 860 and nearly 1000 euros to buy the toy. A decidedly high-end positioning, in line with the iPhone 6 More … does not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of as enthusiasts are selling only what Samsung had planned!
