New GALAXY S6: features, features and other important information about the smartphone

In early March 2015, Samsung Company introduced another flagship smartphone, which was named GALAXY S6. Its characteristics, technical specifications and software stuffing - that's what will be considered in this small overview description.

Configuration and design

One of the most interesting devices in the premium segment today is the GALAXY S6. The date for this clever phone is March 2, 2015. It is completed with all necessary and ready immediately after the purchase for use. An impressive set of operating instructions on many of the most common languages, warranty card and several promotional booklets do not cause complaints. Also there is a charger, a cord for connecting to a PC and an excellent stereo headset. But on the flash card and a separate battery in this case is not necessary to dream. To install the first one, there is not even a single slot, you have to use the built-in drive. But the battery is integrated in the case, and this significantly improves the quality.

The front and back covers are made of glass Gorilla Glass 3rd revision, and the side faces are made of metal. A certain similarity in terms of design is with this smartphone with the iPhone 5S and 6. In the first case, the appearance of the body is quite similar, and in the second - the rounded corners. In general, the designers of the South Korean giant have thoroughly worked, the flagship Samsung smartphone is radically different from its predecessors.

Hardware filling and graphics subsystem

Perfect hardware filling from GALAXY S6. Characteristics in this aspect he has the best for today. This is clearly indicated by the AnTuTu test, which leaves it far behind its closest competitors. The computing base of this device is the Exynos 7 model 7420. It has 8 computational modules, of which there are a maximum of 4 work. If the computing load is small, then energy-efficient cores based on the A53 architecture function (their maximum frequency is 1.5 GHz). In case of starting a resource-intensive application or a toy, there is a transition to 4 more efficient A57 modules (the peak frequency of these cores is 2.5 GHz).

Complement the capabilities of the CPU graphics accelerator Mali-T760. The display diagonal of this smartphone is 5.1 inches. Like all major devices of this line, the basis is SuperAMOLED-matrix. The screen resolution is 1440 x 2560, that is, the picture is output in 4K format. The sensing element of the main camera is based on a 16 Mp sensor. But high-quality optics and a number of software add-ons allow you to get high-quality photos and videos at any time and in any light without any problems. RAM in this smart phone has a fixed capacity of 3 GB, and the capacity of the built-in storage can be 32, 64 and 128 GB.

Autonomy of the new flagship

Certain grievances can cause a degree of autonomy GALAXY S6. The characteristics of its built-in battery are really quite modest. The capacity of 2550 mA / h and a diagonal of 5.1 inches do not work well. But Korean programmers have worked this issue well and managed to achieve good results in this respect. In maximum saving mode this gadget can work for 3 days. If you watch the video on it in 4K format, the value will be reduced to 7 hours. This is an excellent indicator for a device with this display resolution.

Software

As expected, the most recent software from GALAXY S6. The release date is 2.03.2015, so you do not have to expect to see anything other than "Android" with version 5.0.2. The usual set of software has undergone significant changes, and preinstalled applications can now be uninstalled. Also, programmers worked hard on the issue of code optimization, and due to this smooth operation of the interface under no circumstances does not cause censures.

Finally

Summarize the review of GALAXY S6. Its characteristics do not leave competitors simply no chance. This processor, and graphics adapter, and a good degree of autonomy, and an impeccable camera, and one of the best displays to date. Certain complaints are caused by the built-in battery (but due to this the quality of the case is much better) and the absence of a slot for a flash card (you will have to manage the capacity of the built-in storage device). But, experience shows, there is nothing wrong with that.

But there is a more significant drawback in GALAXY S6. Price It in the most modest performance is 850 dollars. A similar amount not everyone can pay for this smartphone. It turns out that this solution is for those who want to get the best device for today. And those who do not have 850 dollars can wait for the cheaper GALAXY S6 Mini, which will be less expensive, but the parameters will be more modest.
