Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Deals

Features

The screen is super AMOLED, it has Additional Display Support, Multi Touch, an Ambient Light Sensor and a Proximity Sensor. In terms of connectivity, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has NFC, WiFi, 4G, Infrared, Mobile Hotspot Tethering, 3G and Bluetooth.

The phone also has a camera with panorama, face detection, an LED flash, front facing camera, HDR capture, auto focus, geo-tagging, optical image stabilization, touch focus, and a rear facing camera.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge also has a digital compass, GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, fingerprint id, heart rate monitor and a barometer.

Design

The user interface is TouchWiz, which is a popular and advanced user interface. The screen size is 5.1 inches, which is pretty standard for a Smartphone. Some say it qualifies as a phablet because it is over 5 inches, but most are not going to find this comparable to a tablet device. It is not difficult to operate with one hand, and in most people’s minds will sit as a Smartphone only.

Specs

The pixel density is 577PPI, which is sharper than most standard Smartphones. It also has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, which qualifies it as a 2K HD screen. The screen resolution and PPI make it 146% sharper than the average Smartphone.

The dimensions of the phone are 142.10mm x 70.10mm x 7.00mm. That means it is a 7mm depth phone, which makes it a thin phone. It is so thin that you could put it in a case and it still be thinner than most Smartphones.

The phone has 3072 MB of RAM, which is a lot of RAM for a Smartphone. It means the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is going to be very difficult to crash and is very unlikely to freeze or slow on you. It means this phone will perform a lot better than the average Smartphone.

Camera

The camera will capture 4K video, which is as high as HD goes at this current time for Smartphones. In other words, it is the highest definition that a Smartphone can support. It has HDR capture, panorama, LED flash, geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection, auto focus and optical image stabilization.

The rear camera is a record-breaking 16-mega pixel camera, which is the highest mega pixel camera you are going to find in a commercially available Smartphone. It also has a 5-mega pixel camera on the front, which is considerate of the manufacturers because that is the camera people take their “selfies” with.

Battery and Performance

The battery is a Li Ion battery that is 2600 mAh in size. With a battery size this large you can expect over ten hours of talk time (at least) and over four hundred hours of standby time. It is unclear yet as to how long the charge will last on the phone. It will have to be field tested by users to get a realistic view of how long the battery will last. Still, a battery that is 2600 mAh is unlikely to run out quickly unless the device itself is an energy vampire.

The weight of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is 132 grams, which is very light for a phone. It is especially light for a phone that has such as large battery. This is yet another sign that battery development is coming along very quickly. It is technology like this that will make personal flying equipment possible in the near future. Developing large but light batteries is all the tech we need to develop personal flying devices, and this phone is yet more evidence we are moving in that direction.

The GPU (which is the graphics processor) is an ARM Mali-T760, which is going to handle any mainstream software you put onto the phone. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has an octa core system, which means it has eight processors. The CPU (Central Processing Unit) runs at 2.1 GHz, which is very fast for a Smartphone. The eight cores also means that the phone may handle some pieces of software far faster and more efficiently than other phones may. It also makes the phone is harder to crash or freeze.
