But what are the other things we need to know about this new product? Just a quick, let's take a look at the 5 major changes happened in S6 from its predecessor.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 1. Samsung’s previous smartphones have been criticized for their plastic construction. So now, Samsung went upscale by giving the S6 a sleeker, more modern look design. <b>Samsung flagship is now made of glass and metal, it's more compact and fits in the hand better</b>. According to <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s6-release-date-news-and-features-1232945" target="_blank">Tech Radar</a>, it's not much larger than an iPhone 6, yet fits in a much larger and higher resolution screen than Apple's best. The Galaxy S6 comes with a 2560 x 1440 pixel QHD resolution. <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/tech/how-does-samsungs-galaxy-s6-compare-to-apples-112455708759.html" target="_blank">Yahoo tech</a> describes its display as 'not only sharp, but also ridiculously colorful'.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 2. But in favor of a sleeker design, Samsung sacrifices its flexibility. <b>There's no expansion slot for additional storage and the battery isn't user-replaceable</b>, that flexibility is ultimately what differentiates Samsung's Android phones from Apple's iPhones.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 3. The primary lens of its camera is 16MP, same with S5, but S6’s camera app is said to be far faster than its predecessor, while <b>front camera has been upgraded to 5MP</b>.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 4. The phone offers new faster charging system and built-in wireless charging but <b>it's only 2550mAh</b>, compared to S5's 2800mAh that can be found underneath its removable plastic back.Unlike S5, despite being "sealed," <b>S6 isn't waterproof</b>. So possibly Samsung will be releasing 'S6 Active'.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> 5. Samsung sticks with Android. The Galaxy S6 runs on its latest vesrsion, <b>Android 5.0 Lollipop</b>. However, Samsung offers a modified version of this with their operating system called TouchWiz, to help users easier to understand and less clunky. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> About the price, since expansion slot for external memory isn't available. expect that Samsung will have an additional charge for each storage step-up just like Apple does. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Samsung Galaxy S6 will go officially on sale on April 10 in 20 countries. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div>
