BEAUTY MEETS PURPOSE
Crafted from metal and glass, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge blend design with powerful features. The S6 edge shows uniqueness through an immersive viewing experience with the world’s first curved display on both sides. Its glass body is made from Corning Gorilla Glass 4 and is available in an array of colourful jewel tones, White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, Blue Topaz, Green Emerald, which elicit a unique visual texture as it reflects natural light.
VIVID, BRIGHT, AND FAST CAMERA
Both devices feature vivid, bright, and fast front and rear camera. The f/1.9 lenses and high resolution sensors on the front 5MP and the rear 16MP cameras provide one of the highest qualities a smartphone has to offer, even under low light conditions. Other camera features include Auto Real-Time High Dynamic Range (HDR), Smart Optical Image Stabilization, and IR Detect White Balance to provide advanced light sensitivities and crisp camera solutions. Also, a new Quick Launch feature gives users fast, direct access to the camera from any screen in just 0.7 seconds by simply double clicking the home key button.
SUPER CHARGING AND CORD FREE
Fully embedded WPC and PMA certified wireless charging technology, the S6 and S6 edge are setting a new industry standard for universal wireless charging. The devices work with any wireless pad available in the market that supports WPC and PMA standards. They also sport incredibly fast wired charging, 1.5 times faster than the Galaxy S5, providing about 4 hours of usage from a 10-minute charge.
Cutting-edge core technology
The 14nm mobile processor with 64-bit platform, new LPDDR4 memory system and UFS 2.0 flash memory provides higher performance and enhanced memory speed with lower power consumption. The 1440/VP9 hardware based codec enables users to enjoy high resolution streaming video while also using less power.
