In early March 2015, Samsung introduced another flagship smartphone called the GALAXY S6. Its characteristics, technical specifications and software stuffing - that's what will be considered within the framework of this short overview description.
Package and design
One of the most interesting devices in the premium segment today is the GALAXY S6. The release date of this smart phone is March 2, 2015. It comes with everything you need and is ready to use immediately after purchase. An impressive set of operating instructions in many of the most common languages, a warranty card and several promotional booklets do not cause any complaints. There's also a charger, a PC cable, and a superb stereo headset. But in this case, you don’t have to dream about a flash card and a separate battery. To install the first one, there is not even a separate slot, you have to use the built-in drive. But the battery is integrated into the case, and this greatly improvesquality.
The front and back covers are made of Gorilla Glass 3rd revision, and the side edges are made of metal. This smartphone has a certain similarity in terms of design with the iPhone 5S and 6. In the first case, the appearance of the case itself is quite similar, and in the second, rounded corners. In general, the designers of the South Korean giant have worked hard, the flagship smartphone Samsung is fundamentally different from its predecessors.
Hardware stuffing and graphics subsystem
GALAXY S6 has impeccable hardware. Its characteristics in this aspect are the best to date. This is clearly indicated by the AnTuTu test, according to which it leaves its closest competitors far behind. The computing basis of this device is the Exynos 7 model 7420. It has 8 computing modules, of which a maximum of 4 are in operation. If the computing load is small, then energy-efficient cores based on the A53 architecture function (their maximum frequency is 1.5 GHz). In the case of running a resource-intensive application or toy, there is a transition to 4 more productive A57 modules (the peak frequency of these cores is 2.5 GHz).
Complements the CPU with the Mali-T760 graphics accelerator. The display diagonal of this smartphone is 5.1 inches. Like all the main devices of this line, it is based on the SuperAMOLED matrix. The screen resolution is 1440 x 2560, that is, the picture is displayed in 4K format. The sensing element of the main camera is based on a 16 megapixel sensor. But high-quality optics and a number of softwareadd-ons without problems allow you to get high-quality photos and videos at any time and in any light. The RAM in this smart phone has a fixed amount of 3 GB, and the capacity of built-in storage can be 32, 64 and 128 GB.
Autonomy of the new flagship
Certain complaints can cause the degree of autonomy GALAXY S6. The characteristics of its built-in battery are really quite modest. A capacity of 2550 mAh and a diagonal of 5.1 inches do not mix well. But Korean programmers worked out this issue well and managed to achieve good results in this regard. In maximum saving mode, this gadget can work for 3 days. If you watch a video on it in 4K format, the value will be reduced to 7 hours. This is an excellent indicator for a device with such a display resolution.
Soft
As expected, GALAXY S6 has the latest software. Its release date is 03/2/2015, so you can’t expect to see anything in it other than Android with version 5.0.2. The usual set of software has undergone significant changes, and pre-installed applications can now be uninstalled. The programmers have also worked hard on the issue of optimizing the code, and due to this, the smooth operation of the interface does not cause any complaints under any circumstances.
In conclusion
Let's sum up the GALAXY S6 review. Its characteristics do not leave competitors simply no chance. This is a processor, and a graphics adapter, and a good degree of autonomy, and an impeccable camera, and one of the bestdisplays today. Some complaints are caused by the built-in battery (but due to this, the quality of the case is much better) and the lack of a slot for a flash card (you will have to make do with the capacity of the built-in storage). But, as experience shows, there is nothing to worry about.
But there is a more significant drawback of the GALAXY S6. Its price in the most modest version is $ 850. Not everyone can pay a similar amount for this smartphone. It turns out that this is a solution for those who want to get the best device today. And those who do not have $850 can wait for the cheaper GALAXY S6 Mini, which will cost less, but it will also have more modest parameters.
