Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are undoubtedly the most dazzling stars in MWC 2015 this year. Both of them have new designs, super powerful hardware configurations, and all the previous short boards are supplemented at one time. S6 Edge is the first time to use the hyperbolic side screen. After having many leading aspects, can S6 and S6 Edge take Samsung back to the top?
First of all, on the white S6 Edge, the "black edges" on the left and right sides of the screen are wider than those on the S6. This is naturally a compromise to achieve a curved screen. Fortunately, the overall screen share has not been greatly affected. If you look at the S6 Edge from the front, there will even be an illusion of using a frameless phone, which is refreshing in the visual perception.
S6 and S6 Edge naturally use Samsung's own Super AMOLED screen, with a resolution of 2K. With the size of 5.1 inches, the pixel density of this screen is up to 577, S6 Edge's screen continues the tradition of bright colors and excellent contrast of AMOLED screens. At first glance, the overall color accuracy and visual angle are good, but the screen will turn green at a large angle. According to foreign media, the maximum screen brightness of S6 and S6 Edge can reach 600nit. No test was conducted on site, but from the visual perception, the brightness is quite abundant.
For first-time users, S6 Edge has a high probability of misoperation because their thumbs touch the side of the screen. If they really buy this machine, they should take time to get used to it.
The coolest application of the S6 Edge side screen should be the call light reminder function. If the phone is placed face down, the side screen will flash the preset color in the form of waves when there is a call or a message. Users can reject the call and reply to the message by placing their fingers on the heart rate sensor on the back, Users can pull out the set contacts from the side screen at any time to call or send messages, but unfortunately this function can only set up 5 contacts at most.
Both the front and back sides of S6/S6 Edge use Corning Gorilla Glass 4, but Samsung has not designed the metal frame higher than the glass surface, so we should be very careful about wear and tear in daily use, and the convex camera on the back also needs to be used carefully.
The side frame design of the ordinary S6 has the shadow of Galaxy Alpha, and the bottom has a strong flavor of iPhone 6.
The left and right sides of the S6 Edge border are tight, but the power button is still set on the border.
The arc at the corners is exactly the same as that on the press conference preheating picture. The aluminum alloy middle frame is well made.
The SIM card slot has been moved to the top.
The bottom is nothing special.
Fingerprint unlocking is finally a press type... no friction, and the recognition is still high.
S6 Edge can support the display of sleep notification. Users can set whether the notification is displayed on the left screen or the right screen (but not at the same time) when sleeping in the system. When sleeping, users can swipe back and forth on the side screen to call out. However, the side screen of S6 Edge does not have an additional resolution like Note Edge, so it is not as functional as Note Edge.
S6 Edge is directly equipped with a wireless charging module, which is compatible with WPC and PMA certification. Samsung has reluctantly abandoned the traditional features of pluggable SD cards and replaceable batteries this time, and jumped the body memory of S6/S6 Edge directly from 32GB to 128GB. The storage media uses the latest released UFS 2.0 high-speed storage media to make up for the sadness of non pluggable cards. As for the lack of battery replacement, Samsung uses fast charging and wireless charging in exchange, but whether consumers will buy it or not is another matter.
A score test was carried out on the spot. The score of more than 70000 points of Anthare showed that the 14nm Exynos 7420 processor used by S6 Edge has extremely powerful performance. In addition to the latest 3GB LPDDR4 flash memory and the relatively lightweight TouchWiz interface, such performance has successfully topped the list of flagship mobile phones in the first half of this year.
Samsung introduced the camera this time. The front and rear F/1.9 apertures are large, and the real-time HDR function is very bright. In addition, the rear camera has also added optical anti shake, and the photographing interface has also been simplified. At the same time, the professional mode has been added. Unfortunately, there is no open shutter time for users to adjust in the professional mode, And the protruding camera design still received many netizens' fierce complaints.
In general, S6 and S6 Edge have new designs, improved body materials, added a sense of high-end, added optical anti shake lens, and used the latest and strongest processors, memory and flash memory. Now the last thing is waiting for its official launch on April 10. As for the price, according to the news from Europe, The starting price of S6 Edge will reach 5956 yuan. For a buyer who is a little short of money, it may be a better choice to go back and buy an ordinary S6.
