The last generation Samsung galaxy s5 was an amazing device, but the biggest problem it had was the built quality. Its just don’t feel like the premium quality should. However Samsung have listened to its users and the new galaxy s6 definitely feel worthy the feel of flagship device. They’ve removed several vital features but after using a bit you will get to see why.
The new s6 weight is just 138gm, which is actually less than s5. It’s features the same 5/4 inch size display but the resolution has been bumped up with quality HD display with pixel density 577 pixels per inch !! It should fit easily in most pockets without bending or looking like you are little bit excite to see it to someone. The front look pretty much same except for slightly larger home button. At the top, you will see upgraded 5 megapixel camera now support auto HDR. The back is where Samsung shows really premium design. It’s made of gorilla glass and will be available in white, black, green, blue and gold. It has a built in wireless charging receiver, it’s claimed to charge upto 1.4M to wirelessly. Its very easy to land the phone on to regular chi chargers, but the glass is very smooth, so make sure your charger has a rubber surface or it will slide off.
The heartbeat sensor is now been located to side of the new sony camera sensor, which now feature the optical image stabilization. Sensitivity is better as well with less noise and low lights situations and a just as good image quality as in bright light. For those worried about the lens, is now surrounded by metal, instead of just shiny plastic. Although if you ask me, I would still buy as case for it. Speaking of metal, the entire phone is now slimmer and narrower than before, most importantly it feels stronger. It is surrounded by stereo aluminum frame and gives the iphone 6 and htc one a run for their money. Continuing the user feedback Samsung has now lowered the power button on the side for more comfortable hide and separated the two volume keys on the left, so that you can differentiate more easily, where in s5 power button and volume key were on same height, which often lead pressing the wrong one !!
Now headphone jack has been moved to the bottom and the speaker now face on the bottom instead of on the back. Samsung claims that s6 is now 1.5 times louder than the previous model. Inside s6 is now powered by 64 bit Exynos 7420 processors , which is an Octa core processor with four high speed cores for performance and four low speed cores for efficiency and battery life. There is three gigs(Gigabyte) of ram and your storage option is now limited to 32, 64 and 128 gigs.
Next thing is the irremovable battery. The internal battery is now 2550 milliamp hours. However people usually reach for power bank or charger long before spare battery. Some users may be worried about the longevity of the device not being able to refresh the battery after a few years, but most people now-a-days to be honest upgrade their phone before their battery degrades significantly. Now it’s clear Samsung put a lot of thought into this model and tried very hard to what the customers want.
A sad as we will be missing sd card slot and removable battery, but I think it’s definitely worth for slimmer body and much better premier material and overall usability improvements from the s5
