Equipped with first-of-its-kind technology,
Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are the most advanced
smartphones on the market
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced its entirely
redefined smartphones, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge. Creating a
new standard for design, craftsmanship and performance, the Galaxy
S6 and Galaxy S6 edge seamlessly blend premium materials with the
most advanced Samsung technology to offer consumers an unmatched
mobile experience.
“With the all new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, Samsung is
offering what’s next in mobility, along with a new standard to
drive the global mobile agenda,” said JK Shin, CEO and Head of IT
& Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics. “By
listening to our customers, and learning from both our success and
missteps, we continuously push forward new technologies and ideas.
With a reimagined design, robust partner network and novel
services, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge offer users the
ultimate experience in smartphone options.”
Beauty Meets Purpose
Carefully crafted from metal and glass, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy
S6 edge blend purposeful design with powerful features. The Galaxy
S6 edge, particularly, shows unique and outstanding beauty while
also providing a solid grip and an immersive viewing experience
with the world’s first curved display on both sides. Its glass
body, made from the toughest glass to date, Corning® Gorilla Glass®
4, is available in an array of colorful jewel tones, including
White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, Blue Topaz and Green
Emerald, which elicit a unique visual texture as it reflects
natural light. This timeless design required first-of-its-kind
glass crafting technology and unmatched quality control, setting
the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge apart from every other mobile
device on the market. The premium device aesthetics deliver true
value and are complemented by a totally new and lighter interface
that greatly enhances usability and functionality. A refined and
fully optimized user experience simplifies applications and offers
features and settings in a more intuitive way.
Vivid Images with a Fast, Bright Camera
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are equipped with an incredibly
vivid, bright and fast front and rear camera. The F1.9 lenses and
high resolution sensors on both front (5MP) and rear (16MP) cameras
provide the most superior image quality in a smartphone, even in
the dark. In addition, Auto Real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR),
Smart Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and IR Detect White Balance
provide advanced light sensitivities and crisp camera solutions.
Furthermore, a new “Quick Launch” feature gives users fast, direct
access to the camera from any screen in just 0.7 seconds* by simply
double clicking the home key button. These advanced camera
functions enable users to capture their most precious and personal
moments in uncompromising quality, however and wherever they
want.
Super Charging and Cord Free
With fully embedded WPC and PMA certified wireless charging
technology, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are setting a new
industry standard for universal wireless charging. The devices work
with any wireless pad available in the market that supports WPC and
PMA standards. They also sport incredibly fast wired charging, 1.5
times faster than the Galaxy S5, providing about 4 hours of usage
after only 10 minutes of charging.*
Cutting-edge Core Technology
The thin (6.8mm/7.0mm edge) and lightweight (138g/132g edge)
Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge integrate the most advanced,
cutting-edge Samsung core technology available today. The world’s
first 14nm mobile processor with 64-bit platform, new LPDDR4 memory
system and UFS 2.0 flash memory provide higher performance and
enhanced memory speed with lower power consumption. Moreover, the
world’s first 1440P/VP9 hardware based codec enables users to enjoy
high resolution streaming video while also using less power. In
addition, the 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED screen offers users the
highest pixel density of 577ppi. Enhanced outdoor visibility with a
brighter display (600cd/mm) lets consumers experience content
without compromise – anywhere, at any time.
Easy and Protected Mobile Payment
Samsung Pay, a new, easy-to-use mobile payment service that will
be compatible with more locations than any competing offering in a
single application, will launch on Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge in
the United States during the second half of this year. Protected by
Samsung KNOX, fingerprint scanning, and advanced tokenization,
Samsung Pay works with both Near Field Communication (NFC) and
Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) technology to make it device,
merchant and card issuer agnostic.
Enhanced Security
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are built on the upgraded
Samsung KNOX, end-to-end secure mobile platform, offering
defense-grade features for real-time protection from potential
malicious attacks. Both of these new devices are also ready for
immediate enterprise adoption, with market leading MDMs and KNOX
enhancements enabled at launch to simplify and improve mobile
device management. Additionally, the Find My Mobile feature secures
lost devices and protects personal information through a number of
services, including the all new remotely controlled “Reactivation
lock.” With an enhanced touch-type fingerprint scanner, it also
provides quick authentication and saves encrypted data in secure
device storage.
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge will be available globally
starting from April 10, 2015 with 32/64/128GB storage options**
available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, Blue Topaz
(Galaxy S6 only) and Green Emerald (Galaxy S6 edge only).
