LONDON: Everyone is waiting when Samsung in going to release its new flagship smartphones Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S Edge. Now ir seems that wait is over as Samsung news rumored that the new smartphone line up in shape of Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S Edge will be in the markets on April 10, 2015.
The prices of the phones have yet not been unveiled. But it is expected that Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge will be available for $299.99 while Galaxy S6 is expected to be available at $199.99.
The price of Samsung Galaxy S6 for the UK at MobileFun us expected for pre-orders at £579 for the 32GB version.
The Galaxy S6 represents a massive step forward for Samsung in terms of hardware design, but what about the software side? While the GS6 still comes with Touchwiz, a few important tweaks have been made that help improve the experience. One of these changes is the inclusion of a theme engine, allowing folks to change up the look of Samsung’s UI. For now at least, this feature remains exclusive to the Galaxy S6, but there’s now an unofficial way to give themes a try for those with a rooted Note 4, Galaxy S4 or Galaxy S5 running Lollipop.
Samsung Galaxy S6 is made of metal and glass. Gorilla Glass protecting covers the front and back. The Galaxy S6 features 5.1in Quad HD (2560×1440, 577ppi) Super AMOLED display, higher than the Note 4. The Galaxy S6 will be 20 percent brighter than the S5’s screen.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 also has wireless charging built in (supporting both PMA and WPC), meaning no more fumbling in the dark for power cables, although the trade-off is a non-removable 2550mAh battery. But you’ll get enough power for four hours use in just 10 minutes of charging, and it’ll charge from zero to 100 percent in half the time of the iPhone 6.
The front camera is 5Mp. The rear camera is still 16Mp. The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a single speaker that is about 1.5 times louder than the speaker on the S5.
Initial reactions to the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge handsets were extremely positive.
Samsung unveiled its new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge flagship smartphones less than a week ago. Verizon revealed during the Mobile World Congress 2015 March 1, 2015 in Barcelona that Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S6 is up for pre-order on April 1.
Getting started is pretty easy, and begins by downloading the “Lollipop theme enabler”. From there, you simply unpack a few things into System/app and System/etc, change a line of code in system/etc/floating_feature.xml and restart your device. If all goes well, you should now have access to Samsung’s themes. For detailed instructions you’ll want to head on over to the XDA Developers forum.
So what makes TouchWiz themes any different or better than just using a custom launcher and downloading new wallpapers, icon packs, etc? While many launchers allow pretty deep levels of customization, the TouchWiz theming system doesn’t just change surface elements, but can modify the notification dropdown, the looks of core applications like the the dialer, messaging and calendar, and even system settings and fonts.
