Samsung Unveils Galaxy S6: 5 Things You Need to Know

<div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinNfabqXVqcBlZw__dxJXCDuyt86xRs-ZAmLS1DhfH4cEDyXd4e_TQFuL70FcoSiqJxUh7ZY9A_gPguKG_IT25jr5HL7rMyccJVozhQQJo96o0dJutDxh0srdEEUQ4VT1nHIPrQHB9ex5t/s1600/s6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="339" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinNfabqXVqcBlZw__dxJXCDuyt86xRs-ZAmLS1DhfH4cEDyXd4e_TQFuL70FcoSiqJxUh7ZY9A_gPguKG_IT25jr5HL7rMyccJVozhQQJo96o0dJutDxh0srdEEUQ4VT1nHIPrQHB9ex5t/s1600/s6.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo from cnet.com</td></tr> </tbody></table> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The Galaxy S6 has been launched and there's no doubt that it is well crafted from design to its performance. 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>
