The GS6 (non-edge) has the same specs for everything except the battery (2550mAh battery on GS6 compared to 2600mAh battery on GS6Edge).
Samsung has just announced their newest curved-screen smartphone, the Galaxy S6 Edge, here at MWC 2015. This device launched alongside its standard-screened counterpart, the Galaxy S6. While the two devices feature very similar specifications, there are some notable changes made with the Edge. What new features does this new phone bring to the table? Are the enhancements merely gimmicks, or are they truly innovations? We'll find that out, and more, in our hands-on and first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge!
Since Samsung went all-out on build quality this year, users will have to make a few other compromises with this handset. For starters, the back isn't replaceable, so you won't be able to switch out the battery when it runs out. Additionally, Samsung didn't make room for MicroSD card expansion either. These are two main features that normally set Samsung apart from the competition, so Samsung die-hards will likely not take this change very well. Fans of the waterproof design from the GS5 should also note that this doesn't make a return for the Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge.
Save for the edges, things are mostly identical between the S6 and the S6 Edge. When it comes to the display, the Edge also features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a Quad HD resolution, resulting in an impressive pixel density of 577ppi. As is always the case with Samsung displays, you get deep blacks, bright and vivid colors, and great contrast, brightness, and viewing angles. If things aren't to your liking, there are quite a few display modes to choose from to cater the experience to what suits you.
Again like the S6, the Edge iteration also packs an Exynos 7420 processor backed by 3GB of RAM. Samsung flagships are always on the cutting edge when it comes to power, and things are no different this time around. Along with an improved experience on the software side of things, performance should be of no issue for this smartphone. You'll also now have the option in choosing between 32/64/128GB of on-board storage, but as mentioned, it is not expandable any further. Although, it's nice to see Samsung ditch the 16GB baseline option to accommodate for removal of expandable memory
