Unique design
The large format smartphone manufacturer essentially the same design of his elder 5.1 inches. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + therefore offers the same high premium look finesse and robustness thanks to Gorilla Glass 4. The evolution of the screen size contributes significantly to quality design of the device, due to the curved edges contributing more than ever the panoramic effect of PHABLET. Again, we take full eyes before you even lay hands on the Edge S6 +, which is especially attractive in its Gold Platinum trim that is available. The glass facades are always perfectly assembled with the metal chassis, providing a perfect maintenance of the set.
Getting familiar hand
Design and Construction obliged the Samsung Galaxy S6 + Edge offers a very similar grip at Edge S6. Inevitably heavier (153 grams against 132), it is nonetheless accessible thanks to the large area covered by the screen, and therefore little wasted space.

Beyond his impressive appearance, the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S6 + Edge offers one made absolutely sublime. This one seems to give life to all the colors and information displayed through an optimal definition and quality. We always appreciate the experience more games and streaming video, in which the immersion is increased tenfold thanks to a panoramic felt could not be more convincing. This is also amplified by the larger dimensions of the display. Despite a pixel density per inch slightly lower than the previous model (518 ppi against 577 for the Edge S6), the record is equally impressive to the eye.
colossal power
Not surprisingly, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + pat on the top of the basket with his house processor. With its 64-bit architecture and its eight-core clocked at 2.1 GHz frequency, the powerful Samsung Exynos 7420 always works wonders. The big news is the RAM. It goes from 3 to 4 GB in LPDDR4. specifically, it is the best memory technology currently on a smartphone. And the result is there because the Edge S6 + offers high speed of execution and a smooth foolproof. In everyday use as intense multimedia, PHABLET is comfortable on any terrain. No special overheating to declare either, if not a normal heating requirements in gaming and streaming.
The benchmark results
The different benchmarks agree on one thing: the Samsung Galaxy S6 + Edge has a monstrous power. Whether or general graphics tests, the terminal achieved very impressive results in all areas. The runtime performance, memory, multitasking, and display are thus well above the average of the competitors!

effective fingerprint recognition

Interface smoothly
The Samsung Galaxy S6 + Edge turns base under the operating system Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. It welcomes the overcoat ToucWiz Nature UX5 Samsung, which is now even more optimized. The few native applications are also reduced, and can be disabled. Navigation through the menus and applications is perfectly smooth and intuitive, even when many tasks solicit the phone resources. This is where one can enjoy the 4 GB RAM in LPDDR4, providing superior performance to competing smartphones running Android. This large memory also allows to enjoy optimum reception 4G LTE network category 9.
A fantastic camera
An identical points Edge S6 is in the photo section. The Samsung Galaxy S6 + Edge is indeed equipped with the same primary sensor of 16 megapixels, 5 megapixels and secondary. The Edge of S6 Camera + produces simply incredible shots in all conditions. Outdoors on a clear day as interior artificial light, there is a dive (details sharpness level) very important on the reports. The PHABLET is equally effective at night as the pictures show a lot of information while producing minimal electronic noise. This results in very clean results even in difficult lighting conditions.
A very good sound
Unlike its predecessor, which tended to saturate at high volume, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + seems to have a its relatively clean at all volume levels. Whether watching videos or playing games. Not particularly transcendent, the sound from the Edge S6 + is very satisfactory for occasional use. Audiophiles should therefore not rely on the main speaker of the smartphone to listen to their music. The headphone side, the hands-free kit comes with the device offers a sound very convincing in the different styles of music. We just regret its ergonomics, which causes many genes because of its a little loose rubber tips when you move …
A satisfactory autonomy
Another improvement on PHABLET Samsung: the battery. Remember, this is not removable because under the unibody smartphone. Due to new performance mentioned above, however, it passes 2,600 mAh (Edge S6) 3,000 mAh for Samsung Galaxy S6 + Edge. This helps overcome a possible higher consumption, mainly due to a larger screen and thus more power hungry. In practice, the Edge S6 + easily stands a good day with normal use. Use of energy-saving mode and moderate the different features and smartphone usage options can also make you take a day and a half without problems. This point, however, remains dependent on the use of each user of course.
Quick Wireless Refill
The last innovation that arrives with it smartphone is fast charging … Wireless! This is the first terminal equipped with this technology, to take advantage of Qualcomm Quick Charge same type of services by induction. In fact, it will “more than” two hours for a full charge by induction, rather than three hours before. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + for it must be accompanied by an induction charging base Fast Charge

Taking up the codes of the new line S6, Samsung inevitably maintains the abandonment of certain things such as micro-SD card slot and the removable battery.
