It would seem that the possibility of smartphones on the part of
the design is actually exhausted. In recent years, except that they lined
up perfect constitution and building up muscles. However, at the MWC 2015
struck Samsung. Galaxy S6 turned the written handsome against the
background - a completely new design and a huge power inside. But
wow-effect achieved another smartphone - Galaxy S6 edge. Not just
"bend" the screen on the sidewall, but also to build on it a hefty
portion of the interface paradigm - it is certainly an innovation and a more
than interesting.

Packaging equipment
Samsung to simplify the appearance of the packaging. If
Galaxy S5 sold in a box, painted wood, the Galaxy S6 edge is packaged in a
light pearl shade.
On the front side - the model name in the upper right corner - the
amount of memory. On the right side flaunts color name "white
pearl" in our case. Behind - the main characteristics and the device
chips such as support for wireless charging and protection KNOX.
The outer box is removed, and in a white box with a single Samsung
logo is a smartphone. He is still on the same flat box made of white
cardboard, inside which - Documentation and warranty card. The package

with remote control and a set of replacement ear pads, micro-USB cable and AC
adapter with interchangeable amperage (1.67 A at a voltage of 9 V, 2 A at 5
AT).
Appearance
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge - this, of course, the bomb as a smartphone
literally captivates with its views, and the cry of "WOW!" Sees
itself. The second time you publish this sound, saw the price tag device,
but more on that later. In this part of the text, we can’t help but admire
the expensive materials, high-quality assembly, smooth lines covering the front
surface of the glass. Ode Samsung device appearance can sing for a long
time - the Koreans really get to say a new word in the design. And tell
him where, in the opinion of many, saying it was absolutely nothing.
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge - a monolithic device, the lid is not
removed immediately. The back side is made of glass Corning Gorilla Glass
4. From above in the center - the camera unit, a prominent above the surface of
a 1.6 mm, located slightly to the right flash, and heartbeat
sensor; middle - Samsung logo.
The smartphone is enclosed in a metal frame. On the left side
volume keys located on the right - the power button.
Sides are quite narrow (about 3.5 mm), because "covered"
curved display.
At the top left is a nano-SIM card slot, opened with a paper clip
(comes included), and in the middle - infrared to control your TV from your
smartphone.
At the bottom left of the 3.5-mm audio jack, center - micro-USB
for charging and syncing, on the right - the speaker grille.
Front panel - the face of the smartphone, defining its
shape. Curved display diagonal of 5.1 inches literally dictates the
graceful flowing lines that go to the sidewalls of the device. The front
of the screen is occupied by 71.7%. On top is the speaker, the left light
sensor and proximity, to the right - facing camera.
Below the center - a physical button <Home>, it is updated
fingerprint scanner. Left - touch button <menu>, right -
<Back>, they are illuminated for a few seconds. keypad illumination
time is not adjustable.
Ergonomics
Dimensions Galaxy S6 edge are standard for a modern smartphone. Its
dimensions 142,1x70,1x7 mm.
In the hands of a smartphone it is comfortable enough, though a
bit thin side faces cut into the palm, and to small buttons on the sides will
have to get used to. The assembly is very high-quality, expensive
materials. Fingerprints on the rear surface are practically invisible.
If you hold the device in his right hand, the power button is
under the thumb, adjust the volume on the other side - under the index.Left-handers
volume keys will be under your thumb, and the power - under the index. You
can also set your smartphone unlocked using fingerprint. Samsung has
updated the sensor, and now he works at different angles, use this unlocking
has become much more convenient.
Screen
The Galaxy S6 edge is a diagonal of 5.1 inches display with Super
AMOLED matrix QuadHD resolution (1440h2560 points) and a density of 577 ppi. Smartphone
screen is curved at the edges, and thereby achieved an impressive effect. Glass
covering the display, follow the company's own technology - 3D Thermoforming:
the material under the influence of temperatures above 800 ° C, compressed to
form a curved shape.
Matrix Super AMOLED usual quality: high brightness, excellent
color reproduction, good contrast and wide viewing angles. But there are
specifics related to the curved sidewalls. When viewed at an angle of
about 45 degrees, the impression on the sides of the screen backlight.
The screen can be set up - there are four different modes in the
menu: "Adaptive Display", "the AMOLED Movie", "Photo
the AMOLED" and "basic". For ourselves, we would have
chosen «AMOLED Film": In this mode, the color look more natural, and
almost pure white, with no shades.
Application icons when browsing, desktop a little distorted,
getting on a curved display surface.
The screen is only positive emotions: color reproduction,
brightness, viewing angles - all this applies to the undisputed its pluses. But
the main thing - it's a new sense of content: due to the curvature of the
screen perception of video, photos and the site gets a certain amount, and it
looks different.
