Closer and closer to perfection – Review of Galaxy S6 Edge + – dobreprogramy

Samsung products I’ve been involved for a good few years. It started from the interchange with a great smartphone – the Nokia N8 on a rather handsome Galaxy Ch @ t. And although this model does not belong to the elite, is its purchase became interested in the Galaxy line. The next was the Galaxy S3 phone and my recent purchase – S5. At some point I noticed that the current telephone no longer fulfills its role as before. He began to stutter and slow down when a large number of operations in the background, and the battery does not withstand the whole day. Do not helped even change the firmware on the device. Then I started looking for a new signing, be the Samsung line. Why ? Perhaps because I like the look of their phones and TouchWiz. In any case initially I had eye on S6 model but looking at the small amount of change with respect to its predecessor, I could quickly forget about it. It was similar with the S6 Edge – curved sides of the screen did a great impression, but of a less capacious battery with high-quality display that’s pure nonsense. Although in a sense aversion intensified when I was deceived in his purchase by one chap on olx.pl, but more on that in another entry …

Then he appeared on the market another model with curved sides of the screen, the together with a plus in the name. He was characterized by a greater diagonal screen, battery efficient, faster operation and had to be more user friendly for work and play. I decided to test it to form an opinion of him. I had read masses reviews and advice of friends who have had this model in his hand. Despite sending mass e-mails asking to the manufacturer, this is clearly the case Olala, explaining that there is no takowego in stock and entered me in an endless waiting list. After a 2-óch months of waiting, I came to the conclusion that you need to get your phone on your own. But paying to Samsung over 3400 zł phone, I found a slight exaggeration. You could write that I started on this model ill. Symptoms? Every day I read about the features of this model and carefully checked prices at auction. After many battles, and finally bought it. After a month the dynamic use of the Galaxy S6 Edge + I can honestly and bluntly say that this is the best current smartphone on the market I have ever come across.



We look for the box

Box in general has not changed since the launch of Galaxy S3. It’s still the same weight cardboard sign in the same places, only the model name another :) The device is a thin, plastic tray to which is attached a metal key for opening the tray card nanosim. Underneath you will find a warranty card and instruction manual. Obviously could not miss a dedicated earphones, and quickly charging the AC charger together with the supplied USB cable-microUSB.

Taking the device in your hand immediately notice that this is a premium model. Great in the hand while aluminum shell slightly extends off the screen, giving the impression of a sharp crease while touching. The front panel looks very promising and its curved sides are even spaceships. Below the screen is the Home button and illuminated touch keys are responsible for calling the options menu and undo function. As to the rear panel, this time obtain glass finish. It is a pity that the producer could not be used plecków even like the S5 model. They were nice to the touch and most importantly without slipping a hand, and this is precisely in this model. But this is not one negative – glass plecki are really nice, but also very prone to breakage. Previous model several times flew from the nightstand to the floor and at most lost the flip, and this … well, you can see below.

I could remedy this before, but it was after the fact. For safety, I bought him an extra back cover, but more on that later. As you can see in the above images the phone has a tendency to fingering. As plecki device look disgusting smeared with grease, it’s the device’s screen does not look so bad. Just wipe it lightly with a cloth or simply turn to all kinds of streaks are no longer visible. On the back side you will find a camera with a resolution of 16 megapixels with LED Illuminates and heart rate monitor on the front of the 5 megapixel camera with proximity sensor.

On the sides of the device, just below the curved screen Function buttons are. On the left side are responsible for volume control and on the right by the inclusion of the device and a sleep mode screen. On the upper edge of the tray is ejected to the card nanosim. Its opening will need the aforementioned key. On the bottom edge are input minijack, and a microUSB and speaker. I have no idea why the manufacturer has followed him here in this place, because when using the device very easy to cover.

Next is the entrance to the handset. In older models, it was located on the mountain. Placing it at the bottom is according to me a fairly novel idea for you but you have to get used to, and although at first glance much it changed it continues settlement kinda makes us work on the device, if only because of the lack of a tangle of cable under or over the phone.

In this model was abandoned with an additional extension of internal memory microSD card. My model has 32 GB of memory and for me it is enough, because from time to time I cast files to the computer, but I know people who are refracted by this fact. In this case it is to connect additional external memory via a microUSB cable. Under the new policy, Samsung, we find also the possibility of getting into the battery. This was carefully hidden under the casing and getting to the force, will result in damage to the unit which could end up being the expiry of the guarantee.

Software and slim TouchWiz

Including the device move to its pre-personalization, giving the mobile user data and setting the most important basic parameters. After this step, our phone is almost ready to go. We will have to load contacts from your Google or Samsung, and we can take the fun new addition. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus runs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop bearing the number on it. The system is a very fast and efficient and that in this model we received a really powerful performance is additionally there is no decline in liquidity in action.

TouchWiz overlay this time is less invasive as previous versions. Samsung much it odchudził, removing unnecessary options, and introducing better control over installed applications. Thanks to this treatment works on the device much more comfortable and unnecessary applications simply delete it. Of course, some of them must be on your device, but you can always disable them to did not display when selecting the application.

The screen of the device is very high quality. We are talking here about the use of Super AMOLED 5.7 inch screen. Increased color saturation and contrast cause the playing or viewing pictures and videos on this screen is a pleasure. Thanks to the density pixels at 515 ppi, we get a very clear picture of where the naked eye does not notice jagged edges icons or imperfections in the new games on the Android system.

But what would be so great screen without the use of the two curved sides? As it turns out, there would still be a great screen. The curved edges of the screen play here for more cosmetic than practical function. There is nothing to expect from the technology which has just entered into force and is not properly developed. The side edges of useful mainly for reading notices in Sleep mode, or when calling application shortcuts or hidden contacts.

As of today, the side edges of personalization options are very few. Although option received notification of missed calls or messages when the device is screen to the ground, but … who just put the phone? Any idiot knows that this is the most direct way of scratching. From what you read on the internet, supposedly updated to Android 6.0.1 has a lot of change in personalizing curved screens side. And at this point all we have to wait for the new update by using external applications or those from producer.

Great performance and a long battery operation

Finally, you can boast Samsung’s new model for smooth multitasking and dealing with any demanding application or game. Within a month I played in several demanding titles and much Weighted processor to see if this does not hesitance at any of them. I believe that no one while working on this device will not so much beating him, because that copes very well with multiple-enabled applications in the background. Finally, after what the manufacturer has equipped the device up to 4 GB of memory and a great processor Exynos 7420 Octa Core.

As you can see in the above screenshots, this model includes a very high score in benchmark tests, which of course translates into efficient and trouble-free operation. Samsung implemented a very interesting application in the Galaxy series, namely I mean the Smart Manager. Through this program, we get a clearer management functions such as optimizing battery, memory management operations and built. By optimizing battery can be adapted to applications when they are not in use, they did not receive any extra energy. By optimizing memory, remove unnecessary data from the device to give additional space or finish applications running in the background. What is new is the use of the protection system, which monitors the applications running in the background and the content of our data.

The manufacturer already pre-marked the the new Touchwiz receive a reduced demand for energy, which in the end result will extend the operating time on a single charge. In practice it so that the battery lasts me quietly for more than 2 days of use of the phone. And in this case I am referring to the still recording 100% brightness, Bluetooth, LTE, 1-2 hours on Wi-Fi, a dozen phone calls, dozens of messages, 3 hours a day listening to music and some games. Of course, nothing difficult for willing and going in this thought, the time can be easily shortened to one day. Just a lot of CPU-intensive gaming and use WiFi, and after about 19 hours receive a message about low battery.

Fortunately, after receiving such a message, do not have the right to run for the charger or POWERBANK, because at 15% battery the device will still be able to run for approx. 4 and a half hours. Of course I mean the enjoyment of the device without requiring titles playing and internet browsing. Everything is largely based also on the unique settings. Always in a crisis situation, we can use the power saving mode that reduces the processor clock speed and disables some features which is reflected in a longer battery life. With the saving function is activated, you get up to 7 hours of extra work on the device. Since buying used this feature once to see how it works, and every day I have it disabled. Mode of very low energy consumption, turns our smartphone simple phone with touch screen. Most feature is turned off and we get black and white screen with several key applications. With such extreme treatment with battery at 15% receive approx. 12 hours of extra work on the device, not to mention the vigil which could exceed several days.

The manufacturer has added to set the AC charger that will allow us faster than usual recharge your device. Just after half an hour we can disconnect the device from the charger and enjoy the fully charged battery. During charging, the charger classic, this time will be extended by approx. 40 minutes.



Legendary camera

Samsung Galaxy S6 was used in the Edge plus excellent rear camera with a resolution of 16 megapixels and 5 megapixels front. Both are characterized by excellent brightness (F1.9) and deep color reproduction. Both cameras exercise very well. Maybe I’ll start from the front, which excels as a lens to Selfie and the main cam for video calls. Pictures taken with the front camera are very high for the day and a low quality of light.

But in the end is the rear camera will take many photos. This part of the premium, mainly due to the excellent quality of photographs taken. It is largely thanks to excellent stabilization of the screen, blended options Auto HDR, and thanks to the quick autofocusowi. Made photographs are very clear and have a natural color reproduction. In natural light, picture come even as if they were made modern SLR.

At night or in harsh lighting is a bit worse, but still such a picture is acceptable.

When we want to do fabulous picture, mainly with a view that appeared on the famous social networking site you can use the built-in filters or download more from the shop Samsung. During the shooting, we can take advantage of several offered by Samsung modes such as panoramic photo, embellishment face, virtual image or a professional mode that will allow us to manually set the defaults to suit your needs. Very worth mentioning news is the fact that this time we get the ability to save images in RAW format in Professional mode.

Another useful feature is double click the corresponding button for returning to the home screen. Thanks to a quick double click, in less than a second camera starts us. This is a very useful feature which allows faster will use the opportunity to take pictures rather than start looking camera icon on the main screen. The option also works with a blank screen.



Film productions and broadcasts live

The new camera sensor also allows you to record video with resolution up to 4K. Besides, we can use qHD quality, Full HD video at 60 frames / sec., HD or VGA. Additional features to track an object on the screen or voice control. Below you can see the ability to record material in a hall in variable lighting conditions.

And if doing so well in changing lighting, it’s a constant, there is no problem. A notable mode used in this model is a “live issue”. It allows you to connect to your YouTube account and broadcasting live transmission. Streaming live is largely dependent on the type of data and delays associated with it. Usually, the difference ranges of between 10 to 25 seconds, provided it does not lose the connection.



Depth Sound

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus is equipped with earphones, which together enabled Adapt Sound the player can be even better representation of the music. When this mode is for the first time, you should be in a quiet room to test the volume in the earpiece will receive a perfectly balanced performance under our person.

You can also use the advanced equalizer and adjust the music settings to their own see-bowl. The sound in the headphones is very clean. Simple control works helps us control panel attached on the right earphone cord.



Summary

As of today a new handset from Samsung can be purchased for about 3000zł. Of course, many websites selling them as much as PLN 300 cheaper, but it’s still far too expensive. As someone persuaded the above review, may be interested in how I – odsprzedawanymi phones with mobile networks. You can come across really advantageous offer new phone, and after you purchase have the option to upload the root system without overlay mobile network without losing the guarantee. Rebuys original dedicated plecków also pointless, because the price as such price may reach even PLN 100 apiece. Of course we get the information that they are created with durable components and so on … I bought one for your model’s rear plecki Spigen for less than 40 zł and I’m very happy because it perfectly in the hand and have no problem with heat dissipation from the phone.

As for the device itself. I’m bought. Such a model was looking for a long time. It is multi-purpose, well in the hand, holding long on a single charge and is doing phenomenal photos. What more could you want ? So far, the S6 Edge Plus can safely compete with new models. At least until the launch of the new model, which is coming closer and closer.
