Test: what Samsung Galaxy S6 for the pros? – ZDNet France

Is The Samsung S6 Edge a good product for professionals? We examined the performance and capabilities of the machine, which already seems to win a ratings success.

Beyond the obvious feeling of premium product from the grip, it should be noted that all three versions of the tool according to the onboard memory (32, 64 and 128 GB) will determine the uses. Foodies professional data storage (especially video) and applications will be well advised to put the price (respectively € 859, € 959 and € 1059) to provide the most powerful versions.

Especially that ‘there is no possibility, as was the case with previous models of the brand, increase the storage memory by adding a microSD card.

If the software features are available to use the curved edges of the screen, we n ‘ there have not really been interested for business (Source: ZDNet.fr).

The plus Edge from its cousin the Galaxy S6 no purpose for professionals, outside a differentiating design. Angle of the curved screen on either side of the phone does not allow truly optimal way to use the facets.

Most importantly, despite the reinforced glass that surrounded the device (forget the waterproof plastic previous versions), this feature makes it more exposed to shocks. And designers dedicated hulls, wishing visually preserve the specificity of the device, not now protect curved edges of the screen.

In view of these remarks, not that the 150 € charged in plus the cost of the Galaxy S6 to acquire Edge is justified, even if it is less expensive than the more prohibitive iPhones.

The objective of the camera exceeds a good millimeter of the body of the appliance. And fingerprints are legion: the entire phone coating is glass, with the exception of aluminum crimps. (Source: ZDNet.fr)

Note that the finesse of the device and its weight (132 grams) are definitely a plus, but the objective of the Camera (16MP, with stabilizer) exceeds a good millimeter back of the phone, however without asking grip problem. The rendering is very good pictures, whether color or zoom performance.

When we return to the attack on the screen (5.1 inches), there is the vivid colors offered by the definition 2560 x 1440 HD videos are a delight to watch.

The presence of a fingerprint sensor should reassure many professionals. It is positioned on the physical button on the machine. In use, the sensor requires very precise positioning of thumb, if having to take it three times before having ultimately enter a password to access your phone data. However, Samsung had assured to have improved this device, already very fallible on the S5. Too bad because this type of protection is an asset in the B2B world.



Liquify applications for professionals

software tools side, no doubt the professionals can be even more than the general public, will be sensitive to the fluidity of desktop applications, powered by the home processor Exynos Octa 7 7420, which replaced unawares Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 chip and 3GB of RAM.

Google Docs, or Evernote OfficeSuite rotate freely, according to our tests. And displaying applications is generally very readable and clear. The size of the screen in portrait mode as in landscape mode, makes it possible to type on the virtual keyboard without masking the writing field. However, the Edge S6 remains a smartphone, so check out for more information to produce.

On this point, the recurrent consultation of applications is facilitated by the array of widgets made available by Lollipop Android 5.0 and TouchWiz overlay.

As for safety always, the Galaxy S6 embark on their last processor
  KNOX version of (2.4), the Samsung security brick which allows
 hermetically separate personal and business content in a
 BYOD logic. A nice feature that we have not had the opportunity to test.

The embedded NFC module could also bring a lot of benefits, especially after the announcement of Samsung Pay, which must land soon in the Hexagon.


Good battery

We’ve found that autonomy is very sufficient, a good day and a half, on mixed uses. Especially, energy recharge is fast. It takes less than 1:40 on the phone to establish a complete charge cycle. The non-removable battery Edge boasts 2,600 mAh, 50 mAh more than the GS6. The Galaxy S5 for its part proposed 2800 mAh.
