If a year ago someone told me that I touted the product to the manufacturer, the skwitowałbym him very eloquent falling over his eyes. And yet. It’s November, and I have no hesitation to admit the title of best Android smartphone available in Poland in 2015 AD … to Samsung Galaxy S6 edge plus.
I’ll say it bluntly – so far really I did not like the smartphones Koreans. “I did not like”, ie a total understatement. These devices simply in the world did not cause me any emotions. Beauty plastic soap dishes, disgustingly sugary, overloaded with unnecessary features TouchWiz anyone, and this is infinitely annoying sound of a drop of water when interacting with the phone … ugh. Something began to change when last year showed a Galaxy Note 4. Then Alpha. These were the first smartphones from Samsung, at which something “stirred”.
And while this year the company showed S6 and S6 edge, my perception of the brand has changed completely, but … still, I was not entirely convinced about the same equipment. Poużywałem few weeks S6 Edge and was obviously impressed, but not such that you really wish for this equipment. Still something was missing. Today I know that this “something” was bigger screen size.
Galaxy S6 edge plus he charmed me, though not at first sight.
Like to review video also review the text start from what my new flagowcu Samsung did not like.
First of all – housing, although it is beautiful and superbly executed, it catches fingerprints and any dirt so easily that you just can not keep her in purity more than 30 seconds. For this aluminum edges are very, very slippery, and before the curved screen at the front at times it is difficult to pick up the device with a tabletop or desk.
The second – the speaker at the bottom of the housing is far too easy to cover. I can not fault it in terms of volume and sound, but just slightly obscure some of the holes hiding the transmitter to the sound became muffled or snarling. This hampers especially when playing, especially in racing games, where constantly move the machine.
Third – operating time on a single charge is slightly below expectations. Energy admittedly always intense enough for the average working day, but never once crossed four hours screen on.
And it would be enough to complain. And now let’s get to what I S6 edge plus me captivated, and is this really a good deal.
These curves, those curves!
The theme of the curved screen in the new flagowcu Samsung approached with the beginning of a bit of reserve, bearing in mind their limited use in smaller S6 edge. Functionally, it is still a gadget rather than actually useful add-in (for a moment), but aesthetically screen is breathtaking, among other things thanks to the krzywiznom.
“wow effect” a lot in common also has a high resolution screen – at 5.7 “inches and a resolution of 2560 x 1440 PPI may be slightly lower than in the smaller Galaxy S6, but the final impression and so is stunning. The more that sAMOLED panel is very bright, vivid colors and sensational maps, which is confirmed by tests DxO Mark. Until these viewing angles that make the interface looks literally like a sticker. What can I say, it’s simply the best display on your smartphone, which you can find on the market.
Also other elements of the performances are top-notch. The beautifully rounded edges frame made of aluminum series 7000 (the same as the new iPhone 6s) blend beautifully with glass pleckami devices that are resistant to scratches, although I would prefer not to check their strength for a foul on hard ground fall.
The camera lens protrudes slightly over the housing to accommodate optical image stabilization, but that extra millimeter do not interfere with everyday use. After a few hours of person stops noticing it at all.
Volume keys and locks also work great – they have perfect pitch and are properly located. At every millimeter casing to feel that we are dealing with a smartphone with absolutely top shelf. This highlights a slightly higher weight than smaller devices S6 edge, which only increases the impression of solidity S6 edge plus.
At this point once mention about the fingerprint reader, hidden in the Home button. It’s the same sensor as in smaller Galaxy S6, we can therefore expect equally good. It is not as true as fast as the reader Huawei Mate S or iPhone 6s, but it is very accurate.
I fell to my liking the color of the UUT, Platinum or Gold, which in my opinion is much nicer than the bluish black as an alternative to the Polish market. Gold platinum also changes its hue depending on the angle of light, which is even more impressive.
There is power!
It’s hard to put off viscera otherwise dormant in this beautiful housing. We are dealing here with one of the most powerful technical specifications on the market. Stronger smartphone with Android’ve just – for the moment – can not.
- Processor: Exynos Octa 7420
- Images Mali T-760
- RAM 4 GB
- memory: 32/64 GB
- Screen: 5.7 “sAMOLED 2560 x 1440
- The main camera: 16 MP with OIS
- Front camera: 5 MP
- Battery 3000 mAh with fast charging and recharging wireless
- Dimensions: 154.40 x 75.80 x 6.90 mm
- Connectivity: WiFi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, Bluetooth 4.2 LE NFC
- Software Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with TouchWiz overlay
One lack in relation to the smaller Galaxy S6, who do not fully understand, is getting rid of infrared sensor at the top of the enclosure, where we could control electronics devices. Personally, I completely lack this did not bother me, but I understand if someone considers this as a disadvantage.
Many people are hurting also the fact that the Galaxy S6 edge plus does not have a slot for a microSD card. If you ask me, this 32GB is enough memory for data, taking into account all the clouds and fast LTE smartphones. Tested by me a copy had up to 64 GB of memory and here just can not imagine how much you would need to cram applications and multimedia or video recording in 4K not pretending it from the device to the amount of fill. This is doable, but you have to be really heavy-user.
As for the rest of the specifications, as you might guess, we can not accuse her of anything. Any task that you can perform on your smartphone, on the edge S6 plus is done without hesitation, without even a momentary shortness of breath. 4 GB of RAM on paper may seem only unnecessary battle of digits, but in practice feel the difference in activity between the smaller Galaxy with 3 GB of RAM and a higher having one gigabyte more.
TouchWiz eventually became palatable
Many common with this liquidity operation of the software also has a new flagship Koreans. Samsung this year went to their senses and significantly odchudził your overlay on Android, which so far was terrible dumpster full of completely unnecessary functions. And although we can not speak of the visual revolution as in the case of external devices values, the new TouchWiz is sober, but still very useful.
We have a lot of useful features and many applications preinstalled on the device, but I can not say that they were” applications junk ” because they are rather useful additions such as. Microsoft’s mobile package. We are also a whole network tools fitnessowych S-Health, which also uses LED positioned at a heart rate monitor.
We can also completely change the look of the interface by one of the hundreds of themes available in a dedicated store. Certainly everyone will find something for everyone, even if subdued aesthetics TouchWiz seems to be too much candy.
There were also multi-window mode, which thanks to 4 GB of memory works better than ever. S6 edge plus never for a moment did not slow when I used two applications at the same time. Comfort of this solution is really huge with such a large screen, though I must admit that with multi-window I used sporadically.
Of course we also have some additional features associated with a curved screen. The two most prominent of them, the People’s edge and Apps edge, or quick access to applications and contacts that are always available through pull-out from the edge of the menu. The eject button can be placed anywhere on one of the edges.
For each of your favorite contacts is assigned a specific color. When the smartphone is face down and one of these contacts will be called us, the edge rozjarzy be assigned color. It is, however, quite … very useful Bajer, the more it requires the position of your “face” to the bottom.
In addition, we may use additional notification bar, which at night transforms into a simple and easy to read clock. Using the technology of AMOLED illuminated only necessary pixels, so the screen for the most part remains blank, and you will see only an hour and basic information about the device, as well as information about the pending notifications.
Camera to the forefront
I had already written about the best camera of all, but then probably again there would be few takers commented happily shout that “after the Xperia Z5 has the best camera by DxO Mark!”. Yes, it can and has won around one point. The sensor used in the Galaxy S6 edge plus can and dropped to second place, but the effects produced by him and so … beat the competition on his head. With a very simple reason – you do not need to resort to manual settings to squeeze decent results from the matrix. Here you select the focus point and the rest is worried the software. We just press the shutter button.
Made in a good light images are breathtaking. Sometimes it is really hard to believe that they were made smartphone, and not advanced bezlusterkowcem. Just to have a look at two photos taken by Martin Połowianiuka smaller S6 edge and bezlusterkowcem Fuji. After treatment, the differences are purely cosmetic:
A and untreated camera in S6, S6 and S6 edge edge plus produces sensational pictures and videos. Everything is here on the site, sharpness, tonal range, color saturation … to service this camera is a pleasure. Quick Launch double-pressing the Home button is so fast that for the first time removed from the desktop smartphone camera application icon simply because I would be unused.
If we talk about the application, it is very appealed to me. On the one hand it can be very simple and transparent, offering additional modes and filters through which we get interesting results. On the other can become quite complicated in Professional mode, offering slightly greater possibilities lets serious amateurs.
Front camera produces by far the weaker results from the main sensor, but still they remain pleasing to the eye and perfectly adequate for sharing in social media. Optics has a very wide viewing angle, so the frame can fit a leisurely few people or the environment behind his back.
Both sensors really great deal also in poor lighting conditions. On the photo, of course, digital noise creeps, but does not distort it too objects, or “washes” colors.
Equally look good films, whether those recorded in 4K or in FullHD. Optical Image Stabilizer effectively stops shaking hands, autofocus is very fast and not “poking” and the exposure does not change rapidly, as is the case in most mobile devices. In addition S6 edge plus the first Samsung has a built-in option to broadcast live directly on our YouTube channel, which for some can be a welcome addition.
To summarize all this part – you can not get at the moment smartphone with a better camera.
Pocket entertainment center
With such a good display, and so powerful the specification probably will not surprise anyone the fact that the Galaxy S6 edge plus is – next iPhone 6s / 6s Plus – the best smartphone on the market in terms of mobile entertainment. Every game, which you can find in the Play Store, on flagowcu Samsung not only runs smoothly but also looks absolutely beautiful. Mobile gamers should definitely look in that direction, if you are looking for devices to play the latest, most demanding productions pocket.
Also present themselves phenomenally movies on the edge S6 positive territory, but it is also “obvious obviousness”. We would expect this, especially knowing the opinions of smaller S6 and S6 edge. But what we did not expect at all, this sensational audio quality. And yet.
Except maybe ZTE Axon Pro S6 edge plus the best Android smartphone in the field listening to music on headphones. DAC used in this model is simply a powerful, easily driven 54 ohm these earphones studio which I connected to it. But that is only half the story, because the new flagship of Samsung as the first (along with Note’em 5) has a built-in “upscale’owania,” or improve the quality of the audio. This means that listening to our MP3 file or AAC (eg. The site the streaming) is much better, comparable formats bezstratnymi.
This is a sensational function and do not know what witchcraft celebrated here Samsung because, although not this is the first time I meet with this possibility in the music player, this is the first time when upscaling is done without przydania artificial compression of the recording.
Moreover, the advantage is best heard parrying edge S6 plus headphones Samsung series level. I had the pleasure of testing with the handset Level On Pro, and the difference between S6 edge advantage and other smartphones high-end, including wireless, is very clear.
unparalleled user experience
Let’s add all above-mentioned aspects to each other and smartphone is us who every day gives you an incredible pleasure to use. Even in the most basic tasks, like browsing social media, and checking e-mails Galaxy S6 edge plus is doing just perfectly.
It is also the first smartphone with Android, which did not have to watch the closing applications running in the background, because with 4 GB of RAM coupled with good optimization software applications in the background they are never aggressively slaughtered, or at least did not happen even once during my tests.
Usually prophylactically close running in the background mousetrap. In flagowcu Samsung in general I have not done, leaving most frequently used programs open at all times. Even after several hours of inactivity pressing the window with the application on the screen multitasking immediately transported me, where before they had finished.
It is reflected also on the battery, which – as I mentioned at the beginning – do not perhaps the best, but again it is not so bad. The more that Samsung provides several different ways in which we can restore power to our smartphone.
First of all, we have fast charging cable run, which takes from zero to full some one and a half hours. For this we can always put Samsung’s wireless charger, which is very convenient, and even – to use a dedicated high-speed wireless charger Samsung. With so many options for fast and convenient “refueling” device, the average working time per charge is no longer overly hurt.
Premium Class worth the money
Galaxy S6 edge plus definitely not cheap devices. For the 32 GB variant will have to pay about 3500 zł, and tested by me, 64 gigabyte model is already close to 4000 zł. I can understand those who view such prices knocking on his forehead – he beat with his thoughts, because around 4000 zł this area really solid laptop and would rather not imagine a scenario in which I would have given more for a smartphone than a MacBook Air.
However … after a few weeks of communing the flagship Samsung admit that it is simply worth the money. What about the fact that “for 1000 zł less, you can have almost the same thing, almost as good.” The key here is the word “almost”. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge plus leaves no room for compromise. We have a superior quality, comparable only with other Galaxy this year. We have the best in class display. Powerful specification. A wealth of useful features. Brilliant camera for a smartphone.
It all adds up to a product definitely worth every buck spent on it. So do not hesitate for a moment to consider the Galaxy S6 edge plus the best smartphone with Android that you can now buy in our market.
The flagship remains beyond competition. At least until the Polish premiere of Note’a 5 and Nexus 6P.
