Samsung recently launched the much awaited S6 and S6 Edge at its press conference at the Mobile World Congress. However the new S6 will not be available worldwide before April 10, 2015. The new flagship phone of Samsung will certainly compete heavily with Apple's iPhone 6.
The new S6 has a more premium look as it is made up of a mixture of glass and metal. Unfortunately for Samsung, the design of the Galaxy S6 was spilled out on the web before its launch, so this does not come as news to many enthusiasts.
There is no change in the display as the S6 sports a Super AMOLED display which has been Samsung favorite for the past few years. The resolution of S6 is the same as Note 4 i.e. 2560 x 1440 pixel QHD resolution (557 Pixels per inch).
The new S6 comes with a 16/5 MP rear/front camera along with the auto-HDR feature to automatically control the white balance and smart Optical Image Stabilization to keep the shake away.
The main negative aspect in the new S6 is its battery which is only 2550mAh as compared to the 2800mAh of S5. But with the new faster charging system it takes only 10 minutes charge for a 2 hour video playback.
The other specs of S6 include Gorilla Glass 4 Exynos 7420 processor, Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, LPDDR 3 3GB RAM and heart rate monitor.
Pros:
The new S6 features a resolution of 557 ppi, the highest ever for a smartphone. The other positive features of the S6 are: Gorilla Glass 4, latest version of Android (lollipop), 16 MP camera.
Cons:
The 2550mAh non-removable battery is a major drawback in S6. The other downside of the S6 is its absence of a microSD card slot. Some also believe that the absence of waterproofing which was available in S5 will also have its consequences.
Apart from its certain drawbacks, the S6 is a really extraordinary smartphone. It is certainly one of the best of its kind and a real treat for mobile fanatics.
