This year, Samsung has overturned the traditions leaving two flagship stores instead of one. And despite its unusual design, which could cool some users, and its price, 150 euros higher than that of his counterpart not curved at equal storage capacity, Galaxy Edge S6 seems to sell as well as Galaxy S6 . What are the reasons why users prefer one to the other? This is what we will try to define here
As we have seen, the strengths of Korean flaghips last two are the same. Photo sensor 16 Opening megapixel f / 1.9 make beautiful pictures at night, 64 Bit processor Exynos 7420 engraved in 14 nanometers and associated with 3GB Ram LPDDR4 and premium design combining aluminum and glass protection Gorilla Glass 4. The main difference lies in the design and price.
A premium design on both sides
Instead of offering a 100% plastic design with metal imitation slices this year, Samsung has turned to materials premium. In 6013 aluminum program, usually used in aerospace and significantly stronger than 6063 used by the competition, associated with the protective glass Gorilla Glass 4 Market strongest .
Yet, despite common lines, both terminals have a difference. The screen of the Galaxy S6 Edge is curved on both side edges giving it a look never seen on any smartphone market. A design that gives it a certain originality and adds some features additionally but is it really the most comfortable?
A curved screen and more features
With its curved screen, the Galaxy Edge S6 has new features not found on the S6 . In particular it is possible to know who is calling us, even when the device is placed face against the table thanks to the light signal that appears on the edge. It is also possible to display favorite contacts (up to 5) for easier access from the slice.
Of course, all the features offered here are what is commonly called the gadgets. However, all is quite well thought out and brings added value in user experience side
and comfort level, what happens?
Outside one aspect that differentiates the two devices are identical. The Galaxy S6 is slim and compact and slightly rounded edges that are reminiscent of those of the iPhone 6 offer a good grip. On the other hand the curves of her curved counterpart are even more ergonomic because they perfectly fit the shape of the hand. Is it worth so far to spend 150 € more. At this level, the buyer is the sole judge.
More storage for the Galaxy S6 Edge
Each of the last two Samsung comes in 32, 64 and 128 GB. Unfortunately, in France, only the 32GB version of the S6 is available for sale, forcing consumers to opt for the version of Edge if he wants to have a greater storage capacity. Of course, it will pay the price: 959 euros for 64 GB
On the other hand, despite the fact that there is no SD slot to expand the memory keeps on its own,. both phones will equip the latest Samsung UFS 2.0 memory modules thus providing data transfers four times faster than the eMMC memory used by the competition.
Autonomy almost equivalent
With a battery of 2550 mAh to 2600 mAh S6 and S6 for the Edge, the autonomy of curved model is a bit higher as we have seen when we tested the two flagships. With 50 mAh difference, the difference is minimal in the life of every day but nevertheless remark on the tests. Some will no doubt be more secure with a battery of 2600 mAh, however, this is not the most important differentiator.
Conclusion
If it is only the appearance that makes the difference for you, it could be that you were allowed more easily seduced by the Edge version and unusual design worthy of a science fiction movie, with, again, to disburse at least 150 euros more. Unlike the Galaxy Note Edge which was destined for a niche market, the Edge S6 is the general public and even seems to outsell Samsung had expected.
Meanwhile, the regulars of the range who prefer a more classic design and allergic to curved screens will enjoy Samsung latest innovations by opting for the S6. The Korean had the merit of proposing two different options to satisfy everyone and we will not complain
Best Price.
