Samsung Galaxy S6 - Specifications. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge review
Colour
Determining the type of device (phone or smartphone?) Is quite simple. If you need a simple and inexpensive device for calls and SMS, it is recommended to opt for a telephone. A smartphone is more expensive, but it offers a wide variety of options: games, video, Internet, thousands of programs for all occasions. However, its battery life is significantly shorter than that of a simple phone.General characteristics
A type
In modern smartphones, not only ordinary SIM cards can be used, but also their more compact versions of micro SIM and nano SIM. eSIM is a SIM card integrated into the phone. It takes up almost no space and does not require a separate tray for installation. ESIM is not yet supported in Russia. Glossary of terms by category Mobile phones

Almost all modern smartphones have Wi-Fi and USB interfaces. Bluetooth and IRDA are less common. Wi-Fi is used to connect to the internet. USB is used to connect the phone to a computer. Many phones also have Bluetooth. It is used to connect wireless headphones, to connect the phone to wireless speakers, and to transfer files. A smartphone equipped with an IRDA interface can be used as a universal remote control.

CPU
In modern phones and smartphones, special processors are usually used - SoC (System on Chip, system on a chip), in which, in addition to the processor itself, there is a graphics core, a memory controller, an input-output device controller, etc. Therefore, the processor largely determines the set of functions and device performance - a glossary of terms by category Mobile Phones

Positioning
The flagship of 2015 was created with two goals - traditionally to compete with the current iPhone model, in our case it is the iPhone 6, and also to partially rehabilitate the Galaxy line after rather sluggish sales of the Galaxy S5, which many took as a sideways step. Samsung made an emphasis on water resistance in the S5, the presence of the IP67 standard, but it turned out that for consumers these functions are not very important, they rather pay attention to the image component. And it is traditionally lower for Samsung phones than for iPhones. As a result, sales of the Galaxy S5 turned out to be good, but far from the company's internal plans. Suffice it to say that the Galaxy S5 was the best-selling Android flagship of any phone, but it fell short of iPhone sales.
In 2015, Samsung is betting on metal, glass and the highest specification possible. That is, the bet on high-quality case materials, even if the continuity with the previous generation Galaxy, which was considered an unsuccessful experiment, is violated. It is curious how many people claim that the lack of protection from water has now suddenly become a disadvantage. I highly doubt that this is the case, although the function looks interesting for any model.
The bet is made on design, quality of the case and direct competition with the iPhone. Numerous claims that this device is an exact copy of the iPhone are not entirely true. It is made in the style of the iPhone, but is not an exact copy. When you look at it, you see the same Galaxy line, there are no special differences.
Those who want to see an iPhone in this device will see it anyway, there is no point in persuading it. In real life, phones are very different, they look like different models. It is impossible to confuse the iPhone and the Galaxy S6 in life, no person was mistaken in determining which hand was which phone, even from a distance of several meters. Another indicator will be the absence of legal claims from Apple, although the indicator is indirect, since last time the similarity of the models was also very far-fetched.
The flagship from Samsung will be of interest to both ordinary users who want a modern smartphone with the maximum camera quality, a good and large screen, and a one-day battery life. This model is also suitable for those who can be called technology enthusiasts, since it implements the latest developments, which will be enough for at least a couple of years. Although it was not without a fly in the ointment, which we will talk about in this review.
The Galaxy S6 is the key device for the entire market in 2015/2016, as it was for the previous Galaxy. Global sales of the S6 (along with the S6 EDGE variant) can be expected to be higher than the S5 in a comparable timeframe. The interest in this model is noticeably higher. Let's take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of this solution together.
Design, dimensions, controls
The phone is compact for such a screen diagonal, its dimensions are 143.4x70.5x6.8 mm, weight is 138 grams (for comparison, S6 EDGE is 142.1x70.1x7 mm, 132 grams). Fits well in the hand, does not slip.

The side frame and rear wall are made of metal, special attention was paid to the strength characteristics, it cannot be bent even with great effort. This was especially emphasized at the presentation. Since Samsung decided that the model should indulge the consumer with variety, they presented it in many colors. To achieve this, the back wall is painted over and covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Exactly the same glass covers the front surface. In order not to create confusion, Samsung calls the glass the fourth generation, but in fact, it differs from what other manufacturers receive (less scratches, more resistance to drops, which is important with such a screen). You can call it Gorilla Glass 4+, although this name will be rather arbitrary.
Each color, due to the glass, looks like a metallic, they play well in the sun. Just like on Sony devices, handprints remain on the glass, it is easily soiled, but not excessively. In bright light, the traces are almost invisible, but in the room they become noticeable.
In real life, the devices play in the light, in the room they look dull.
Other color schemes will appear, but this is a matter of the near future. Accessories for Galaxy S6 / S6 EDGE also turned out to be quite bright, the theme of the body color is played up.
In S6 EDGE you can feel the cut of the case due to the beveled screen, in the usual S6 there is nothing like that, it fits very well in the hand. The metal frame has grooves on the side edges, which also add to the convenience.
The nanoSIM card tray is located on the right side surface, right there is an on / off button. The volume keys are on the left. On the top there is an infrared port for controlling household appliances and a microphone, another microphone is on the bottom. There is also a microUSB-connector (USB 2.0), 3.5 mm for a headset or headphones, a speaker output.
On the back, in addition to the flash, there is a heart rate sensor, it also performs a number of other functions, more on this in the section about S Health. On the front panel there is a physical button with a fingerprint sensor inscribed in it (you can unlock the device by placing your finger, you don't need to swipe it). There are also two touch-sensitive keys, everything is familiar to other devices from Samsung. Above the screen is a proximity sensor, as well as a 5 megapixel front camera.
Display
5.1-inch screen, SuperAMOLED, 577 ppi, 2560x1440 pixels, automatic brightness control. This is one of the best screens from Samsung, it traditionally has a customization of colors - from bright and sometimes acidic to muted. Here everyone will choose their own option, but the main thing is that, according to the reviews of professionals testing screens in various devices, AMOLED matrices in previous models have already become very accurate in color rendering and behavior in the sun. In this device the quality of the screen has also increased and the brightness of the backlight has been improved (in the sun everything is readable with a bang).
Communication capabilities
If you can imagine that the device has all possible technologies, then this is the case of the S6 / S6 EDGE. I'll just list them: Wi-Fi: 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac (2.4 / 5GHz), HT80 MIMO (2x2) 620Mbps, Dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, Mobile hotspot, Bluetooth®: v4.1 , A2DP, LE, apt-X, ANT +, USB 2.0, NFC, infrared port for controlling household appliances.
Memory, RAM, performance
The device has 3 GB of RAM (LDPPR4), which has a maximum throughput of 3.2 GB / s (64 bit). The built-in memory capacity may differ - 32, 64 and 128 GB. The memory type is UFS 2.0, which also provides the maximum write and read speed, it is actually an SSD array. In terms of speed, the memory subsystem is such that no other device has comparable characteristics so far.
The Exynos 7420 chipset belongs to the latest generation, made at 14 nm. Technically, this is an 8-core solution, 4 Cortex-A53 cores, 4 - Cortex A57. The graphics core is Mali T-760, but its version is updated compared to Note 4 (higher frequency, etc.). It is also the fastest processor in existence, which, together with the memory, makes this unit very fast. In life, he just flies, there are no brakes at all (Android 5 also contributes to this). During my communication with the phone, I did not experience any slowdowns or crashes of applications.
And here's what the results look like in synthetic tests. These are the best values possible for this kind of device. With performance in synthetic tests, everything is more or less clear, see the values below.
It is more interesting how the device behaves in three-dimensional tests, that is, how predisposed it is to graphics, because the MALI graphics processor has always been inferior to similar solutions from Qualcomm, and even more so from NVidia. The increased frequency, eight cores - all this in theory should contribute to performance, but on the other side there is an increased screen resolution.
There are other tests, we will give their values here.
But it was interesting to see how, for example, Epic Citadel is going. The initial test on a near-clean machine showed a result of about 60 frames per second.
But then, when I tried to repeat it, it turned out that the program gives out 50 frames at best, after heating it even 30 frames. This is one of the Galaxy S6's weaknesses in terms of performance - the 3D graphics and how repeatable you get.
Having looked at three-dimensional toys, I can say that the scatter of results in Dead Trigger 2, NOVA3, Asphalt 8, Real Racing 3 is from 30 to 60 frames per second. In some games, the level is kept at 60 almost constantly, in some closer to 30. But this is with the maximum settings for textures, resolution, and so on. Even with this in mind, you as a user will not see any problems in the game, since the slowdowns at 30 frames per second simply do not exist. And this is the lowest value.
For those who want to approach performance in a straightforward and stupid manner, I recommend comparing the necessarily game component in GTA, since this game is not optimized for MALI graphics, loads not the best textures and is guaranteed to have problems with displaying graphics. In my opinion, this is a drawback of the game and a lack of optimization for a specific platform, but as an example of "shortcomings" it will be fine. Today the question in 3D games is simple - what platform they are optimized for and how well. The same solutions from NVidia beat everyone in 3D performance, graphics rendering quality, but they are not popular. Apparently, not everyone needs it.
Battery
The built-in battery has a capacity of 2550 mAh (2600 mAh in the S6 EDGE), the runtime is about a full day under load. This is about 3 and a half hours of screen operation (auto brightness control, turned to maximum), data transfer in 4G. The video device spins for about 10.5 hours.
Of the pleasant things, I note that fast battery charging is supported - it takes one hour. If you use a regular 2A charger, the battery charging time will be 2 hours. The phone has a built-in wireless charger that supports several formats, that is, you can buy either a branded device or any other. I had at hand a charger from Lumia (DT-601, Qi standard), it charges the device perfectly.
You shouldn't have expected this model to last as long as the Note 4. But the result turned out to be slightly higher than that of the iPhone 6 under the same load (the number of calls, transferred data). The difference is almost imperceptible, we can say that these devices live for the same time. Again, this will be a full-time job for most people.
Many people have a confusion about how changing the chipset and technological process, speeding up memory, the appearance of a different screen with a higher resolution may not lead to an increase in power consumption. The logic is simple - all new technologies consume more energy. But the logic is vicious and far from reality, just new technologies allow you to get less power consumption, which Samsung consistently shows on its Galaxy line, and the same Note has long become the benchmark for battery life.
Camera
A separate detailed and large material is devoted to the description of the camera and all its capabilities.
Software Features - Android 5.x and TouchWiz
Samsung has begun to simplify the TouchWiz shell, and Android 5 shows that. So far, this is not pure Android, but a lot of unnecessary junk has been removed, useful and not-so-useful functions have been added, the system looks simple and understandable. I will try to consistently describe the changes.
So, in the drop-down curtain, everything is different from Android 5 - Samsung has saved one row of shortcuts, but the list scrolls horizontally, you can also select the icons that are shown here. I like the way it is done in pure Android better, there it is enough to pull it again, and the full list opens, I think that it is more convenient that way.
Some icons have additional functionality, for example, a part of the Wi-Fi network name is now displayed in the Wi-Fi icon. This is a small thing, but quite convenient, which seemed very interesting to me.
Traditionally, there is an S Finder in the drop-down curtain, in which you can search for content both on the network and in the phone's memory. You can limit your search by category. It is a convenient search client for the device. Nearby there is a utility for connecting to other devices, everything is also familiar in it.
How do lock screen notifications open? When clicked, they redirect you to the appropriate application. If a screen lock is set, for example, for a fingerprint, then you receive a warning that you need to press the center key - touch, and the phone again opens the desired item. Everything has become much more clear and simple than it was. If you don't need a notification, you can just swipe it aside.
Of the minuses in the menu, I will note this for myself - I have about 6 screens with icons, before you could click on a square of a specific screen in the ruler below. Now, when pressed, the transition goes only to the adjacent screen. Inconvenient.
Dialer and contacts... By dialing a number, you can quickly call a contact, it is enough to correctly enter the first digits or letters of the name, surname. The matches appear in the list. The call log has a filter by the type of calls.
Just like on previous models, you can swipe left or right by name to send a message or call, this setting can be turned off, but many people liked it. In the favorites, in addition to the selected contacts, there is also a list of numbers that you often use. When you call, information related to the contact is shown, the last SMS, mail, events from the calendar.
In the contact list, you can flip through the names by letter of the alphabet (first comes Russian, then Latin).
The changes are purely visual, the UI has become simpler and lighter, but the functionality has been retained at the level of the previous version of TouchWiz. This seems wrong to many, but a matter of taste and habit.
Posts... Some people are frustrated by the extremely lop-eared man who is on the menu for numbers without an icon set by the user. It has survived as before, although its size has greatly decreased. You can choose the design of the windows, their style, set your wallpaper. Also, by choosing a different theme or your own screensavers, you can get rid of this little man. There is a scheduled message sending.
The set of features is typical, and it will be enough for ordinary users. I have no complaints about working with messages on this device.
Of the unusual functions, I will note shortcuts for quick text insertion - they work in all menus. That is, when the T9 function is activated, you, by typing the letter assigned to the shortcut, will see in the list of hints not only words, but also the recorded pattern. So far, this only works for English, but the thing is very useful and convenient.
Gallery... Sorting photos works by time, place, event or category (here the phone itself determines what is in the picture - food, landscape, portrait, and so on). You can also access Picasa from the menu.
Calculator... Scientific in horizontal position, normal in vertical position.
Clock... Alarm clock, world clock, stopwatch and timer. Familiar sections, but outwardly they are redesigned and look more interesting.
Notes... Plain text notes that are synced to the cloud and transferred from phone to phone.
My files... A regular file manager that also supports Google Drive. Convenient and simple, there are all possible file operations.
Dictaphone... In addition to the usual voice recording, you can turn on the Interview mode (for the first time in Note 4), then the microphones at the ends work in turn, the recording quality is good. There is also a voice note mode, when the text entered by voice is immediately recognized.
Peel Smart Remote... A program for controlling household appliances using an infrared port. Automatically detects your location, shows a list of channels and programs, can work with any equipment. On other devices, it is not so interesting, since they do not have an IrDA port.
S Planner... The calendar has been made visually lighter and easier. There are birthday memos, synchronization with any network calendars, a separate list of tasks. I like the way this application is arranged, there is nothing superfluous in it and everything is clear.
S Health (ver. 4)... A completely revamped S Health app with motivational rewards (go more, do more, and so on). A sensor on the back of your phone is used to measure your heart rate, oxygen saturation, stress and emotions. Now you can enter a food intake diary, there is a database of foods and their calorie content. In every sense, this application has become richer, and at the same time it is not necessary to use all the options. You can also keep track of your workouts, plus there is a virtual trainer that can help you train.
S Voice... The engine from Nuance is used, as well as on previous models. The speech synthesizer is very clumsy, as if from the past, command recognition is stupid and completely loses to Google Now. It is definitely not worth using this voice control, although it has a wide functionality. It is not very pleasant.
Smart Manager... A new utility that combines several programs from different companies, but in one interface. So, there is Clean Master, which is able to clean application caches, various garbage. The utility for working with the battery shows how much it can last, you can switch between modes. In the Security section, you can install KNOX, plus there is an antivirus from McAfee. There is also a utility for cleaning RAM, which is more a tribute to the needs of users and their desires than an urgent need for Android - this is more a harmful utility than a useful one.
Microsoft Applications... The folder contains three pre-installed apps - OneDrive, OneNote, and Skype. These are applications that Microsoft pays for preinstallation, there are no differences or integration into the system. As soon as they are demolished, in any case, the first two deserve it. The user is given 100 GB of cloud space from Microsoft for free for two years.
mail... A regular email client that supports multiple accounts, HTML layout. There is nothing unusual here, as well as advantages over the GMail client. Outwardly, they became very similar.
Settings... A set of settings familiar to Galaxy S, I will not list everything, I will give the main screens, of which everything is clear and so.
Free Apps with S6 / S6 EDGE
Samsung is accustomed to giving flagship customers a subscription to paid services or applications, sometimes it is quite tangible savings. I will try to list the main gifts, they may differ from country to country, and may not be available everywhere:
- The Economist - 6 months subscription;
- Audible, audiobooks, 3 months subscription, one book for free every month;
- NY Times - news, subscription for 12 weeks;
- Parallels Access - 6 months subscription, access up to 5 computers;
- PayPal - discount for various products;
- Evernote - premium subscription;
- Fleksy keyboard;
- Entrenador - personal trainer;
- Magisto Video Editor - three months subscription to the service;
- Keepy - notes service, 6 months subscription;
- Shazam - unlimited and ad-free version;
- Hancom Office 2014 - unlimited time license;
- Kindle - 12 months subscription, you can get one book monthly;
- Deezer - 6 months music subscription;
- Kick - application for football fans, match results.
Optional accessories for Galaxy S6 / S6 EDGE
For several years now, Samsung has been creating the widest possible line of accessories for its flagships. Starting from 6, the set includes headphones of a new design, which are built by analogy with Level In, provide good sound and are noticeably better than the previous model.
In terms of cooperation with famous brands, I would like to note cases from Burton, protective cases with crystals from Swarovski, leather covers from Montblanc, cases for women from Rebecca Minkoff, cases painted by Britto. It is almost impossible to find these accessories in wide sale, their cost is very high.
Now let's look at the standard set of accessories, they are completely the same for the two models, only the article and color schemes differ. The wireless charger is available in two colors - white and dark gray. I recommend choosing a dark color, as the rubber insert at the top gets dirty on white very quickly, which prevents the phone from sliding. A darker color is more practical.
The QI 1.1 standard is supported (backward compatible with 1.0), the charging speed is about 4-5 hours, which is typical for such devices. The cost of the charger in Russia will be 3,490 rubles. The included quick charger costs 2,000 rubles if you buy it separately, so you shouldn't lose it. The same price for a car charger that supports Quick Charge technology.
An ordinary transparent bumper covering the back of the phone will cost 2,590 rubles.
But the opaque cover can be of almost any color, it is of good quality, but it also needs to be matched to the phone's color so that they match. Its price is 2,290 rubles.
The cover-book is also available in different colors, the price is 2,990 rubles, such covers make the device very thick.
The S View Cover with a window has become very popular. Different fabrics or leathers, a huge number of colors - all together create an alternative. You can activate the camera, turn on the set of favorites, listen to music, open the shortcut panel - the latter was previously unavailable. In the video I show you how this case works, it's worth watching. But the price bites - 4 490 rubles.
The mirror flip cover can also be chosen in different colors, it has an NFC tag, so the Chinese craftsmen will not do anything like that. When closed, you can answer calls, reject messages and reminders. There is no need to open the device.
You can see how all these accessories work in our video.
Impressions
In terms of speaker volume, Samsung S6 pleasantly surprised, despite the fact that there is only one speaker at the end - it is very clean and loud, the device is well heard in different conditions. The video showed the differences with the S5, they are noticeable to the naked eye. We can say that in terms of sound it is one of the loudest and most pleasant devices of the company. The power of the vibration alert is average, there are no achievements here.
The connection quality of the phone does not cause any complaints. I tried to find differences from my Note 4, I could not find them. The quality of work in LTE also flawlessly, I drew attention to the fact that the phone clings to Wi-Fi networks better than Note 4. Subjectively, it seemed that in general the quality of connection was a little better.
I love how the one-touch fingerprint works, you can watch this feature in the video.
The speed of launching the camera from any menu is less than a second. It is enough to press the Home key twice. And it's convenient. The camera is excellent and comparable to the Note 4, which I consider (and not only me) to be the best device on the market for this parameter.
It would take a long time to list how the S6 differs from most devices on the market - the fastest processor, the best camera, the display, which has already been recognized as outstanding. But this is all lyrics, because we need to dwell on a few negative points that can push away from the purchase of this device.
The obvious thing is the lack of memory cards. I'm so used to having the option to put in a memory card that I feel uncomfortable without it. The amount of memory of 32 GB seems to me clearly insufficient for the full use of the device - listening to music, watching videos, photographing. This is a limitation that is annoying and came with the iPhone. I really hope that the "brilliant" idea to do so will not visit the company's engineers in the Note line.
Now about another point - warming up the device, which is often felt when working in heavy applications (3D toys) or transferring large amounts of data (Wi-Fi or LTE / 3G does not matter). The body near the camera is heated, as well as the metal frame. It becomes hot enough, but you can hold the device, it is warm, it does not burn. This moment upset me a little, and not at all because of the heat itself, after all, all fast devices heat up. Rather, here we come to another issue - battery replacement. After about a year and after 350-400 charge cycles, the battery capacity will have dropped by at least 20 percent. If in other devices of the Galaxy line you could replace it yourself, then you will have to contact the service center or read instructions on how to disassemble the phone, look for a replacement battery and be perverted in such ways. In the same iPhone, this is the standard story that its owners have learned. The fact that the Galaxy S6 has abandoned the collapsible case is understandable, but it does not add joy.
I managed to drop the Galaxy S6 a couple of times, it did not bring any problems - but this is not an indicator either. I am sure that Gorilla Glass 4 will not have any problems, as, however, it can be seen from Note 4. As part of the VIP program, the first replacement of the screen, broken by you, will cost up to 3,000 rubles. No manufacturer gives such conditions, and this is a significant advantage, as well as confidence in the quality of the product (the cost of replacing the screen on an iPhone 6 is about half of its cost).
For many, there will be a choice between the Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6, the arguments for the one and the other device were given in a small video. But I can say that these are devices of different classes - the iPhone is fashionable and empty in functionality, capabilities, the Galaxy S6 is the best in its class.
The cost of the Galaxy S6 will be 49,990 rubles in Russia (in Europe the price will be at the same level as for the Galaxy S5 - 650 euros). Many will consider the choice between S6 and S6 EDGE, the second device will be released at a price of about 55,000 rubles. Sales start in mid-April.
I like both the S6 and S6 EDGE. Although from the image point of view, the second is more interesting, but the first is more practical. Functionally, there is no difference between them.
By and large, the Galaxy S6 turned out to be very pleasant in appearance, functional, which is what you expect from the device of the Galaxy line, but it also does not have memory cards, which many will consider a minus. Comparing this model with similar devices in the same price category, we can say that they are much inferior in all respects. This device is without any compromise, the best in almost everything. From subjective things, personal rejection of design and / or Samsung can interfere. But these matters are so subtle that there is no point in discussing them. From a market perspective, the Galaxy S6 sets a very high bar for both performance and everyday usability. The ergonomics of this device are excellent.
If you have never encountered the procedure for clearing the cache before and do not know where to start, then today we will introduce you to the basics: what is clearing the cache memory, what types of cache are there and how to clear it. It doesn't matter if you call it flushing the cache, flushing the cache memory, or flushing the system partition - we'll show you how.
What is a cache reset?
Good question. It depends on what kind of cache you mean: application cache or system cache. As you might guess from the name, the former is used by various applications, while the latter is reserved for the needs of the Android system itself. The cache generally acts like a Temp folder on your computer — a small storage for temporary data. While it helps you run faster, it can also cause problems, which makes you need to clear your cache from time to time.
How to Reset App Cache on Galaxy S6
If you want to reset the cache for applications - it doesn't matter for one or all at once - you can do it through the "Settings" menu. From the Application Manager submenu, select the application you want to unload from the cache. It can be in the "Loaded", "In Progress" or "All" tab. Select an app and then click Clear Cache. If you want to delete the cache for all applications, then in the "Memory" submenu, select "Cached data" and confirm your choice by clicking "Yes".
How to Reset System Cache on Galaxy S6
If the problem is not in one or more applications, and the entire Android system behaves strangely, you may have to clear the system cache, or reset the system cache partition. Most often, such a need arises immediately after updating the Android system, after depleting the battery, as well as after all kinds of flights, freezes and other possible problems.
- Turn off your Galaxy S6.
- Press the Power, Home and Volume Up keys at the same time.
- You will see a screen with the Android logo on a blue background and then the “recovery” menu.

Therefore, the "sixth galaxy" is produced in the form factor of a classic smartphone with a screen diagonal of 5.1 inches.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
As for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, this variant was initially released solely as a "marketing engine" to promote the base model. However, initially, the concept model was expected to be incredibly successful in the market.

By purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, you are not just getting a powerful and technically advanced smartphone. Thanks to the Galaxy S6 Edge, you can really stand out from the crowd of mobile electronics users, unlike Apple lovers, whose favorite iPhones are too similar to each other.
At the moment, a lot of smartphone manufacturers have already begun to equalize on the "sixth Edge", the same Chinese are already churning out more than one "S6 Edge killer" with a "2.5D" screen. However, all of them are still very far from one of the best flagships from Samsung.

Another important feature of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge is the built-in wireless charging capability, with support for two standards at once: Qi and PMA. If before that wireless charging of smartphones was something exotic, then thanks to the Galaxy S6, it actively "went to the masses."
What's more, Samsung was giving the first lucky Galaxy S6 customers who pre-ordered before the official launch of the smartphone, a proprietary wireless charger that not only quickly charged the Galaxy S6's battery, but was just a stylish accessory.
And the Galaxy S6 "showed the world" a new revolutionary technology of mobile payments Samsung Pay, which allows in most cases to replace a bank card with a smartphone. And all thanks to the fact that Samsung Galaxy S6 supports not only the already well-known technology of contactless payments using NFC, but also has a built-in solution for emulating a magnetic tape, which makes it compatible with practically all payment terminals. Unless you will be able to withdraw cash.
As a result, critics praised both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge as certainly successful flagship smartphones, and 100%. in particular can be rated as 100% successful smartphones. The level of sales only within the framework of pre-order showed that the new product was many times more successful than its predecessor - Galaxy S5.
