Meet the exciting next generation Galaxy smartphones; Galaxy S6 & S6 Edge

MWC kicked off with the much awaited launches of 2015. Samsung introduced its latest flagship model, the Galaxy S6 alongside the much-anticipated Galaxy S6 Edge. The phones will also feature the new mobile payment service called Samsung Pay, something we have seen in iPhone 6 last year (Apple pay).

Unlike Samsung’s previous models, which were made of plastic or leather, the new flagships are designed with metal and glass.

Both the smartphones feature 5.1-inch Quad HD (1440x2560 pixels) Super AMOLED display with a pixel density of 577ppi. However, the S6 sports a dual-edge display.

Under the hood will be an Octa-core 4x2.1GHz + 4x1.5 GHz 64-bit Samsung Exynos chipsets with 3 gigabytes of RAM for multitasking. These phones run Android 5.0 out of the box and are the first in the world to feature 14nm mobile processors with 64-bit platforms, new LPDDR4 memory system and UFS 2.0 flash memory.

The smartphones are packed with a 16-megapixel rear camera with OIS (optical image stabilisation) and LED flash and a 5-megapixel front camera. To please the photography enthusiasts, Samsung has integrated a slew of other features such as quick launch, tracking AF, auto real-time HDR, f/1.9, IR detect white balance, low light video, high clear zoom, virtual shot, slow motion, fast motion, pro mode, and selective focus.
