Samsung Galaxy S6, or Korean transformation – Spider’s Web

The text was originally published on Blog Forum Spider’s Web.

Events unpacked Samsung and Apple Keynote is the most important event of this type, showing the creativity of two giantów mobile industry. Keynote has summed up the past, so now it’s time for unpacked.

Let me start from the luminaire, and this … just was. After a truly epic show presentation Galaxy S4, and the quieter, but still elegant show S5, in the case of events dedicated to the Galaxy S6 decided to tone down the emotions. Is it good? I’m a little deceived – considering the marketing budget which has a Samsung, I expected a pathetic spectacle. For unpacked Hollywodzkiego lacked momentum in 2015, but it can and it is good because it focuses on merytoryce media.

Without further ado, was presented to the world two smartphones – Galaxy S6 with a classic, flat-screen TVs and Galaxy S6 unusual Edge Display wound to the side edges. Their characteristics in most overlap, so I wrote in general and nowatorstwu Edge devote a separate paragraph.

The new design can like – a lot of it with the previous Galaxy, but, for example, the lower bead scheme evokes the iPhone 6 . Of course the Apple iPhone 6 also creating drew inspiration from Samsung (mainly from series Note), which realizes a specific symbiosis in which they live both companies. Galaxy S6 with the same diagonal screen is thinner and narrower than its predecessor, but slightly longer. Unfortunately, above and below the screen is a lot of unused space. It is true that she does not waste as much as the iPhone, but Samsung is not approached too close to a leading in this aspect of LG. Interestingly, the Galaxy S6 with unnecessary bajeru abandoned, which in my opinion was waterproof. Thanks to this design is really thin and shapely.



I have mixed feelings about the materials used. And it is because of the quality of the finish I submit functionality, and this in Samsung’s flagship products has always been high.

However, with the S6 there was awaited by many a revolution, as was used for the construction of noble materials, just for the price of utility construction. And so, the internal skeleton and frame entirely made of aircraft aluminum and the front and back panel cover glass Gorilla Glass fourth generation. I realize that many people have been waiting for this feeling of premium – in the end is now not only the components, but also the execution stand on the highest level. Phone visually impressive (organoleptic apparently too), and I convinced the manufacturer – in contrast to the well-known competitor, sure as hell does not buckle. But the lack of access to the battery and card slot for Micro SD estimate as a step backwards. Only memory size dependence on the amount of aid to be very arrogant policy reminds me of Apple. Well at least the Galaxy S6 32GB variant should not be significantly more expensive than the iPhone 6 with 16 GB of memory. Unfortunately, the reduced capacity of the battery is also I do not like. Clear that for this phone is even thinner that has a fast and wireless charging – this is a strong case. But with more comprehensive battery equipment, just would work longer, and this fact can not be denied. Well, such a price premium design. But undoubtedly deserves praise for reducing the overall weight of the machine, from 145 to 138 grams. Especially considering that the lightweight plastics replaced heavier glass.

So much construction, now short of key components. Central power unit is made in the process of 14 nm, 64-bit processor Exynos ośmiordzeniowy that in contrast to the competitive structure, if necessary, can take advantage of all the cores at a time. Why such a demon performance smartphone? Today, it is difficult to answer this question, but it is expected that the new Exynosie resides enormous power. Adding to the 3 GB DDR4 RAM’ów latest and high quality Wolfson chip music, we get a unique blend of the highest quality hardware.

The display is the famous Super AMOLED, which is two generations considered by experts to be the best the panel on the market. In this issue again, progress has been made, which can be proved by the maximum screen brightness, according to the manufacturer amounting to up to 600 nits. This combined with high contrast and effective coatings oleofobowymi, should give the first smartphone that ensures comfort while using the sun. Unless of course the manufacturer is not bluffing. Paradoxically, a problem may be a display resolution – 1440 × 2560 with a diagonal of 5.1 inordinate amount, which does not have a positive impact on operating time on a single charge. Samsung probably want to dispel doubts as to who is the winner in … stupid “arms race.”

Just as breathless as the screen makes the camera (at least on paper). New Eske equipped with 16 megapixel sensor with optical image stabilization functions and “tracking focusu” and very clear as smartphones aperture of f / 1.9. Interestingly, the front camera is so bright, and its resolution is up to 5 megapixels, so enthusiasts should be thrilled selfików. To be completely happy unless only a two-run, physical shutter button. But apart from this detail, photographic opportunities Galaxy S6 promise to be great.

Intriguingly promises also improved fingerprint scanner. Samsung was the first company in the industry, which introduced payment authorizations stationary stores using the fingerprint reader (it did with the release of the Galaxy S5). Only this movement went Apple iPhone 6 implementing a system designed by Apple Pay, which is again jealous of Samsung. The Galaxy S6 so you will receive a Samsung Pay payment system, which as the producer, at the start will be compatible with more terminals than solving the ball. And as far as I am opposed to such a far-reaching surveillance, in the name of convenience – instead of a few cards and cash – maybe I would be willing to convince the reader of this. Maybe, depending on how well (and when Poland), this form of settlement will work. For now, it is worth to watch developments.

Significant changes have also undergone author overlay on Android. TouchWiz infamous, because of the question, he was stripped of much of its incumbent applications and features. This perfectly illustrates the camera interface that is up to a minimalist yet clear. Although, as I look at the pre-installed launcher and its icon is a further collects me sick – fortunately this element can easily replace. There are still frighten me ubiquitous white background – it looks attractive, but the type AMOLED display uses more energy. So, again at the expense of practicality, aesthetics.



And what’s with the Galaxy S6 Edge? This is a specific form of a smartphone, the screen on the side edges of the wound.

Potential applications of this concept can be many. While what is presented can be assigned to contacts or bent edges notifications. But Samsung has promised to provide application developers with a suitable API, and I imagined I can see even enhanced multitasking thanks to attach minimized application to curl. The idea of ​​such a screen today may seem crazy, but it is perspektywistyczna. Someone has to be first, and Samsung in terms of technological innovation in recent years is second to none. In my view, the screen Edge is the first step to a massive use of flexible displays. However, the success of this bold concept can only be assessed for some time.

The conference addressed another important issue for the potential user. Namely, the safety of the device due to security Knox. It just so happens that some time ago I was robbed of my smartphone Samsung. Upon notification to the departments concerned, the device has been recovered, but with broken security – a thief tried to be empowered “root”. And even though the attempt zrootowania system proved ineffective, the Knox same test was registered as an interference in the software, for which the manufacturer has canceled my warranty. So let’s ask the question, whose interests it really protects Knox – user or producer but that, thanks to Knox could blink of warranty service.



Galaxy S6 is a revolution in the portfolio of Samsung.

This is probably still the most high-end smartphone market, while in the end made at a premium. For this version of the Edge seems to be a breakthrough product in terms of the entire industry, acting in a step to a revolution of flexible displays. Galaxy S6 is unlikely to be the phone for me – it is too big, too much of it too kompromistów. As a fan of the more compact dimensions, I look forward to what Koreans propose S6 Galaxy Mini. I hope that, in contrast to last year, this time we will not fail.
