Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE dimensions. Fast SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 EDGE smartphone review

smartphone, Android 5.0, Case Monoblock, Screen 5.1 ", 2560x1440, Nano-SIM SIM, GPS / AGPS / GLONASS, Wi-Fi / 3G / LTE / NFC, Dimensions 70.1 x 142 x 7 mm, Weight 132 g

Three arguments "For" Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

The smartphone with the effect of the convex screen is distinguished not only by an impressive design, but also high performance. The speed of the device is ensured by the 8-nuclear sAMSUNG processor Exynos 7420 with a frequency of 2100 MHz, MALI-T760 MP8 graphic module for 772 MHz and 3 gigabyte random access memory. The model has 32 GB of integrated memory, equipped with an Android 5.0 operating system (Lollipop). The weight of the device at 70.1x142x7 mm sizes is 132 g.

Long autonomy of work

Validious lithium-ion battery Capacity of 2600 mA * h supports wireless and fast chargingIt also has the ability to fill power through the USB connector. Full battery charging is enough for 26 hours in conversation mode and 168 hours in a state of free expectation.

Unusual volumetric display

The Super Amoled touch screen takes 71.7% of the front panel and has 16: 9 as the aspect ratio, with a resolution of 2560x1440 and 5.1 inches diagonally. Thanks to smooth lateral roundings, the display acquires a combination that is visually transmitted to the pictures and video viewed. Surface protection from scratches is provided with glass Gorilla Glass 4. There is also an anti-reflective coating, as well as light sensors and approximations.

High quality filming

The model is equipped with two digital cameras on 16 and 5 MPIX, which allows you to create images with a maximum resolution: the main chamber is 5312x2988 pixels, frontal - 2981x1677. In addition to standard modes, in the settings of the photo module there is a selection of a virtual shooting of a three-dimensional object, the ability to slow down or speed up the video, get a GIF animation.

The GALAXY S series devices almost all the time of their existence "left" exclusively at the expense of advanced technical characteristics, with moderate - by the standards of flagships - the price. And finally, the time has come for change: it seems that this year some manufacturers themselves will want to "circle" Galaxy S6 EDGE. But it is worth this device more than the rest.

From the point of view of "iron", everything also has changed dramatically with the Galaxy S5 time, although the policy remained the same: the new flagship is all the best, the most advanced one. S6 and S6 EDGE smartphones boast Quad HD display, new platform Exynos - 7420, the most advanced LPDDR4 operational memory, support for LTE CAT. 6 and 16-MP camera. In general, "full minced", all by the latest technology. Are new flagships so good? Let's try to answer this question after a detailed test.

The only serious distinction between the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 EDGE is in the display and design: the first device has a completely standard screen, and the second is bent on the sides. The rest of the device is very similar to each other, but are not very identical. There is a slight difference in dimensions: the thickness of the case at the usual version is 6.8 millimeters, and EDGE has 7 millimeters. But a modification with a rounded display is slightly easier - 132 against 138 grams. Finally, different batteries are used: 9.69 W · h (2550 mA · h, 3.8 V) at the usual version and 9.88 W · h (2600 mA · h, 3.8 V) at EDGE. The rest of the S6 and S6 EDGE are identical on the technical stuffing.

⇡ Appearance and ergonomics

All devices at Samsung are somehow similar to each other. They have similar proportions of the case, approximately the same radius of the angles, the oblong central key at the bottom of the front panel ... In general, the smartphone from Samsung to know easily. The situation has practically not changed: the appearance of Galaxy S6 / S6 edge remained very characteristic - even if you see this couple for the first time, you will not hope to guess that in front of you Samsung.

Nevertheless, the predecessors of Galaxy S6 / S6 EDGE differ dramatically. So much that, if you spend parallels, you can say: S6 and S6 EDGE is not even "restyling", it is a full-fledged "body" for samsung flagships. Designers and engineers of the company finally abandoned the use of plastic in favor of metal and glass. This is perhaps the key difference between S6 / S6 EDGE from predecessors. The facial and rear panels are covered with a protective glass of Corning Gorilla Glass relatively new, fourth generation. For the first time it, by the way, was used in the "Fablte" Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - the first serial device of the company with curved screen. The shield completely reliably protects the gadget panels from the appearance of scratches and other small damage.

Galaxy S6 EDGE is available in four colors: Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, White Pearl and Exclusive Green Emerald. Order a device in a corporate green color in Russia, unfortunately, so far it is impossible. The Gadget Colors Gadget "Black Sapphire" came to testing. In our opinion, it is very good color. The smartphone seems black, however, when the light falls on it, the dark blue defill appears. In general, the phrase "dark blue metallic" is much better and more accurately characterizes this color than "black sapphire". It should be borne in mind that the "ordinary" Galaxy S6 color of the case is other.

Hold in the hands of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge nice. The gadget is quite convenient to control one hand: it is not necessary to move it and hold the second one - it's good that Samsung decided not to increase the size of the screen in comparison with Galaxy S5. Yes, the display here is a 5.1-inch, that according to modern standards is not so much. The device does not slide in the hands, although it is rather smooth panels. During operation, the palm hits the "sidewall" of the screen, but the gadget does not respond to these false pressing. They are probably blocked at the program level.

The location of controls and connectors is quite standard - plus-minus the same as in the previous samsung devices. Get used to smartphone very easy. In the top of the front panel there is a front lens, a 5-megapixel camera, a mesh of a conversational speaker, the optocoupler of the approximation sensor and the LED indicator.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - Frontal, five-megapixel camera

At the bottom of the front panel there is an oblong key "Home" with a metal cantic in which a biometric sensor is built. Next to it are two standard sensory buttons equipped with a disabled backlight, "Menu open applications"And" back ".

The thickness of the case here is by no means outstanding - seven millimeters (without taking into account the protruding lens of the rear chamber). Nevertheless, due to the narrowing metal Kartat on the side of the sides, the deceptive feeling is created that the smartphone is much thinner than declared.

The device's turning key is put on the right end under the thumb, and the volume control buttons are on the left. Metal keys, short and distinct running. Tray for Nano-SIM SIM-SIM cards is hiding in the upper end, and next to him is infrared port For driving household appliances.

The slot of the external speaker is put on the lower end. His accommodation is good - in the process of operation, it does not overlap in any way. Next to it is the Micro-USB interface, combined with the video output (MHL), as well as a universal 3.5-millimeter connector for connecting a wired headset.

The rear panel is the main lens, 16-MP cameras together with the LED flash, as well as a cardiac rhythm sensor. The panel is rather brand - it is quite quickly dirty and very willingly collect fingerprints. However, you can get rid of them with the help of any girlfriend rag. The body in the apparatus is unbearable.

Positioning

Samsung never sought to create expensive variants of their flagships, the first experiment can be considered Note EDGEwho have been released a couple to the usual Note 4. It was a reconnaissance of the fight in which they tried to determine how the exact copy of the flagship with the curved edge would be claimed, which does not give, by and large, no real advantages, the work scenarios with such a screen were not yet Invented. What is worth at least a line that placed on this bend - Flight Flight, but not a real necessity.

Unexpectedly it turned out that Note Edge became popular, it was often preferred by Note 4. Buyers of this device were chosen at all for a unique technical featurerather, rather for the cost that was maximum for such devices. That is, the role of the image component of the price played the role, but the screen bending, as it were, confirmed it. It must be said that none of the manufacturers did such devices, so a certain novelty was present in this. For Samsung, this without much costs gave an increase in profits, and at the same time the loyalty to the audience, which wanted to stand out. Single version of the phone for Ponte.

In the mass flagship S6 decided to do exactly the same and released eDGE version, rounded the screen on both sides, but making it not so clearly. However, it was enough for the model to be perceived very differently. If S6 is often called copy iPhone 6, no one says about EDGE, moreover, it is called original. Let me remind you that the difference is only in the bend of the screen on both sides. Oily or unwittingly, but the device turned out unusual, there are no analogues on the market, and it means he will attract attention. It will be chosen by those who are not limited to the means looking for a convenient model in order to work, and at the same time get the image effect.

Inside Samsung until the last moment could not decide on the price positioning of EDGE: make a break in the same way as in the case of NOTE models, or less? Pragmatic approach, apparently, wins, the difference will be 5 thousand rubles. As you understand, the cost of EDGE is higher. In my opinion, EDGE may well claim the title of a unique apparatus, which is rare on current standards. And for those who do not want to be like others, it is a truly curious model. It will not suit everyone, moreover, it cannot be considered mass, however, it is not positioned. But for your consumer, this device will become extremely pleasant, will give something that other models cannot.

Design, dimensions, control elements

The phone turned out to be compact for such a diagonal of the screen, its dimensions - 142.1x70.1x7 mm, weight - 132 grams (for comparison, S6 - 143.4x70.5x6.8 mm, 138 grams). Well falls in the hand, does not slip.

The side frame and the rear wall are made of metal, special attention was paid to the strength characteristics, it is impossible to be bent even with greater effort. At the presentation, this was especially emphasized. Since Samsung decided that the model should pamper the consumer with a variety, they presented it in many color solutions. To achieve this, the rear wall is painted and covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Exactly the same glass covers the facial surface. In order not to create confusion, the samsung is called the fourth generation glass, but in fact, it differs from what other manufacturers receive (less scratching, more resistance to drops, which is important with such a screen). It is possible to call this glass Gorilla Glass 4+, although this name will be very conditional.

Each color at the expense of glass is similar to metallic, they play the sun well. Also on Sony devices, traces of hand remain on the glass, it is brand, but not excessively. With bright lighting, the traces are almost not visible, but the room becomes noticeable.

Unlike S6, there is a slice of the housing in his hand, it is sharp. Someone may not like it, and someone will not pay any attention to it. For Estettes, an annoying point will also be the fact that the camera on the back surface protrudes on a millimeter with a small one, it did not flush with glass.

In comparison, C. Sony Xperia. Z3

The tray for the SIM card was placed on top end, right there - an IR port for managing household appliances and a microphone, another microphone is in the lower end. Ibid - microUSB connector (USB 2.0), 3.5 mm for headset or headphones, speaker output. The on button is on the right side, the volume control keys are on the left.

On the rear surface, in addition to the flash, there is a heartbeat sensor, it also performs a number of other functions, about this in more detail in the section about s Health. On the front panel - the physical button, the fingerprint sensor is entered into it (you can unlock the device, applying a finger, it is not necessary to carry out it). Also there are two touch keys, everything is used to other devices from Samsung. Above the screen is the approximation sensor, as well as the front camera on 5 megapixels.

One of the branded accessories is a plastic case, which is made in the metall style. In my apparatus of green, it looks pretty good.

The case is rather marked, despite the fact that a oleophobic coating was added to it. He will often wipe it often, and someone does not fit. From the advantages I will note the fact that the phone in the case is lying better, the face is not crashed. Of the minuses, the fact that you lose the original form of the device, to distinguish the S6 from S6 EDGE becomes difficult, and the side faces are covered, they become not functional or limited applicable.

The case recognizes your press (more precisely, the screen), so you can beat the calls, view messages, manage music and so on. It is quite convenient, because you do not need to open the lid, you see all messages in front of yourself.

The quality of the assembly of the device is excellent, there can be no complaints. The phone is much stronger than similar devices from Sony, wins from the iPhone 6, which often goes on glass after a small fall (in it the usual tempered glass). Here the strength is made on the fore, the apparatus is wearing.

Display

5.1 inch diagonal screen, Superamoled, 577 PPI, 2560x1440 points, automatic brightness adjustment. This is one of the best screens From Samsung, it traditionally has a setting of colors under it - from bright and sometimes acid to muted. Here everyone will choose their own option, but the main thing is that according to the reviews of professionals experiencing screens in various devices, the amoled matrices in previous models have already become very accurate on the transfer of colors, the sun behavior. In this apparatus, the screen quality has also increased, the illumination brightness is improved (everything is readable to the sun).

The high density of dots on an inches make a picture smooth, but you definitely do not define the difference with previous eye models. Other characteristics (contrast, brightness, and so on) come to the fore.

The bending of the screen in EDGE is not very large, it is noticeably less than in the same note edge. And, as a result, more comfortable, all the main menus are presented throughout the screen surface, it does not disappear.

In life, the bending is beautiful, but not practical. So, on the street the Sun is always refracted by the left line and the picture is glanced, it is not entirely visible.

While working in the browser, the beginning of the address of the address accounted for exactly on the left break, press and get into the right place is difficult. Such "little things" is quite a lot, the interface has not been recycled under the screen, it is standard, and it has its price - reducing ergonomics.

Communication capabilities

If you can imagine that the device has all possible technologies, then this is the case of S6 / S6 EDGE. Just list them all: 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, IR port for home appliance management.

Memory, RAM, Performance

The phone is a complete copy of S6, so I repeat what is said in the review of that device.

In the device 3 GB of RAM (LDPPR4), which has the maximum for today throughput In 3.2 GB / C (64 bits). The built-in amount of memory may differ - 32, 64 and 128 GB. UFS 2.0 Memory Type, which also provides maximum write and read speed, this is actually an SSD array. By speeding, the memory subsystem is such that no apparatus has yet comparable characteristics.

The EXYNOS 7420 chipset refers to the last generation, performed on 14 nm. Technically is an 8-core solution, 4 cores Cortex-A53, 4 - Cortex A57. Graphic kernel - MALI T-760, but its updated compared to Note 4 version (more frequency, etc.). It is also the fastest processor of existing, which, together with memory, makes this device very fast. In life, it just flies, no brakes do not exist at all (Android 5 also contributes to this). I have no slow-moving or departure of applications during communication with my phone.

But what the results look in synthetic tests. These are the best values \u200b\u200bthat are possible for devices of this kind. With performance in synthetic tests, everything is more or less clear, see the values \u200b\u200bbelow.

It is more interesting how the device behaves in three-dimensional tests, that is, as far as it is predisposed to the graph, because the MALI graphics processor always inferior to similar solutions from Qualcomm, and even more so from NVIDIA. Growing frequency, eight nuclei - all this, in theory, should contribute to performance, but on the other side there is an increased screen resolution.

There are other tests, let's give their meanings here.

But it was interesting to look at how it goes, for example, Epic Citadel. In the initial test, the result of about 60 frames per second was shown on the almost clean apparatus.

But then, when I tried to repeat it, it turned out that it issues a program at best of 50 frames, after heating and at all 30 frames. This is one of the weakest Galaxy S6 places in terms of performance - three-dimensional graphics And then how repeated the result you get.

After watching three-dimensional toys, I can say that the scatter of the results in Dead Trigger 2, Nova3, Asphalt 8, Real Racing 3 is from 30 to 60 frames per second. In some games, the level rests on 60 almost constantly, in some closer to 30. But this is with the maximum settings of textures, permissions, and so on. Even taking into account this, you as a user will not see any problems in the game, since the slow motion of 30 frames in a second simply does not exist. And this is the lowest value.

For those who want to approach the performance straight and stupid, I must necessarily compare the game component in the GTA, since this game is not optimized for MALI graphics, loads not the best textures and is guaranteed to have problems displaying graphics. In my opinion, this is a lack of game and lack of optimization for a specific platform, but as an example of "flaws" will be fully. Today, the question in three-dimensional games is simply - for which platform they are optimized and how good. The same solutions from NVIDIA tread all in terms of performance in 3D, the quality of drawing graphs, but do not become popular. Apparently, not everyone needs it.

Battery

The built-in battery has a capacity of 2600 mAh (2550 mAh in S6), the time of operation is about full time when loading. It is about 2 and a half hours of screen operation, data transmission in 4G. The video device twists 11 hours.

The question that worries many is a dead battery or not? While the obvious answer, I do not have on it, you need to work with the device and see what will come out. The phone has a fast charging, you can fully charge it in an hour that is already good. It also supports several wireless charging formats, everything is built into the housing, do not need to buy anything. But I do not think that this option will be in demand by many buyers.

From pleasant smallest things I will note what is supported by a quick battery charging - it takes one hour. If you use the usual charger on 2a, the battery charging time will be 2 hours. The phone has a built-in wireless charging that supports several formats, that is, you can buy both a branded device and any other. I had a charge from Lumia (DT-601, QI standard) at hand, it perfectly charges the device.

Expect that this model will work as much as Note 4, it was not worth it. But the result was slightly higher than that of the iPhone 6 at the same load (including calls transmitted). The difference is almost imperceptible, we can say that these devices live the same time. I repeat that for most people it will be a full-time.

Camera

The description of the camera and all its capabilities is devoted to a separate detailed and large material.

Work with a side face

Unlike Note Edge, the ideology of the side face has changed a little. First, you can choose exactly where the information will be displayed, on the left side of the screen or on the right. Moreover, I note that it is impossible to turn the picture for 180 degrees. The ability to put your wallpaper on this strip, it is very narrow. By and large, there is only night modewhich displays the time and temperature from weather forecast, you can set the interval up to 12 hours when this information is shown.

Can be displayed information flowThese are news headers that will crawl on the side. Not very necessary option. Basic settings are associated with five contacts that you can add to the sidebar. Each contact has its own color. When the events missed the events can highlight the face with this color, that is, you see what happened, and you know who called you or wrote. The chip is not too wisdom, but quite working in practice. Does she make this device very different from the same S6? Uniquely no, they are approximately the same and perceived at one level.

Software features - Android 5.x and TouchWiz

Not to repeat, send you to detailed review Galaxy S6, where all moments of operation of the menu and the functions of the device are considered in detail.

Additional accessories for Galaxy S6 / S6 EDGE

For several years now in Samsung create the widest range of accessories for their flagships. Starting from 6-ki included headphones of a new design, which are built by analogy with Level In, provide a good sound and noticeably better than the previous model.

In terms of cooperation with famous brands, I will note the covers from Burton, protective covers with swarovski crystals, leather covers from Montblanc, women's handbags from Rebecca Minkoff, covers painted Britto. In wide sale, these accessories are almost not found, their cost is very high.

Now let's consider standard set Accessories, they completely coincide for two models, differ only in the article, color solutions. Wireless charging is available in two colors - white and dark gray. I recommend to take a dark color, as the rubber insert is very quickly clogged on the top, which prevents the phone sliding. Practical dark color.

The Qi 1.1 standard is supported (inversely compatible with 1.0), charging speed is about 4-5 hours, which is typically for such devices. The cost of the charger in Russia will be 3,490 rubles. The device is fast charge from the kit costs 2,000 rubles, if you buy it separately, so it should not lose it. The same price automotive chargingSupporting Quick Charge technology.

An ordinary transparent bumper, covering the back of the phone, will cost 2,590 rubles.

But the opaque cover can be almost any color, it is good quality, but it should also be chosen into the color of the phone so that they are combined. Its price is 2 290 rubles.

Casebook is also available in different colors, the price is 2,990 rubles, such covers are very thick in the device.

The cover s View Cover with the window became very popular. Different fabric or leather, a huge number of colors - all together creates an alternative. You can activate the camera, include a set of selected numbers, listen to music, open the panel of fast shortcuts - the last used to be unavailable. In the video, I show how this case works, it is worth seeing. But the price bite - 4,490 rubles.

A mirror cover can also be chosen in different colors, it has a NFC label, so Chinese craftsmen will not do anything like that. In the closed state, you can answer calls, reject messages and reminders. Open the device is not needed.

How all these accessories work, you can see in our video.

Impression

By the volume of the SAMSUNG S6 dynamics pleasantly surprised, despite the fact that the speaker is one and is in the end - it is very clean and loud, the device is well audible in different conditions. The video showed differences with S5, they are noticeable with a naked eye. It can be said that in sound this is one of the loudest and pleasant devices of the company. The vibrating alert on the strength of the average, there are no achievements.

The quality of communication at the phone does not cause complaints in any way. I tried to find differences from my Note 4, could not detect them. The quality of work in LTE is also without complaints, drew attention to the fact that the phone is better cling to the Wi-Fi network than Note 4. Subjectively seemed to be a little better in the quality of communication.

I like how the fingerprint works on one touch, you can see this feature in the video.

The speed of the camera starts from any menu is less than a second. It is enough to press the "Home" key twice. And it is convenient. The camera is excellent and comparable to Note 4, which I believe (and not only I) the best apparatus on the market in this parameter.

From the advantages S6 Edge I will note unusual designwhich will become for many people argued in his favor. I was confused by the bending, and it seemed that the place disappears, but in reality, you quickly get used to it, the inconvenience of tolerant is not annoyed in everyday use. Although the Ergonomics S6 is noticeably better.

The Touchwiz sheath has become visually easier by retaining its main chips. I can not say that I like it one hundred percent, but has the right to life and quite convenient in everyday work. Contacts on the side side are also comfortable, although this is an extra chip, it can not be used to use it. I really liked the external case that transforms the device and makes it more interesting. True, the appearance is lost, and it will not work much.

After a more dense acquaintance, I have no doubt that if I choose between S6 and S6 EDGE, then, most likely, choose the second device, it turned out more interesting. The difference in value for Russia is 5 thousand rubles, that is, S6 EDGE will cost up to 54,990 rubles. In the new price realities it is much, and we should not expect huge sales. But they will, as well as in Europe, other countries of the world.

In S6 Edge has its own unique chip in the design, this device has no analogues, and this is a strong argument in its favor. I repeat that ergonomics suffer a little, but it is not so critical, although S6 is more convenient. Personally, it takes me a choice between two of these models, and if I said above that, most likely, I will choose S6 Edge, then after a couple of paragraphs I think that perhaps you should take the usual S6.
