TEST – Samsung Galaxy S6: RAM, autonomy … that is it … – MetroNews

At first, it is for the Galaxy Edge S6 that we love. With its curved screen, this is a real success in terms of design. But in use, it is to the Galaxy S6 preferred to turn. Why? Although it is a little more classic in its form, it is more ergonomic everyday. Moreover, it is 150 euros cheaper: 709 euros for the 32GB Galaxy S6 against 859 euros for the Galaxy Edge S6 with the same configuration

In the grip, the Galaxy S6 is. easy to catch when it is placed on a piece and “slides” less when held in the palm of the hand. Furthermore, the curved screen of the Edge Version, very nice on paper, has a flaw: its display is the same as in the classic version of S6. This means that when displaying a web page, it may happen that the edges are distorted to where the screen is curved.

It supports daily use but certain applications or uses are sometimes fall autonomy at the speed V. In mid-April a Samsung update has improved things a bit but it is still not optimal. Fortunately, a feature can charge the battery in 10 minutes to have 4 hours of autonomy. Provided to find a catch, of course.

In addition, the RAM is problematic and can cause either the crash of some applications or heavy slowdowns. Yet with 3 GB, Samsung has seen wide. But there is a bug in the way the memory fills and frees up space. The Korean has recognized the problem and has been working to correct this by updates. The problem actually stems primarily from Android Lollipop. The new version 5.1.1 includes better management of the RAM precisely. It will just have to wait until the update is deployed on the S6.

If autonomy is not a spark, it remains correct and Samsung is still working to optimize it. Similarly, the current problems of memory will be corrected in the coming weeks with Android 5.1.1. Aside from that, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is, in our opinion, the best device on the market. It is especially a treat for lovers of beautiful photos.
