Samsung Galaxy S6 Killer Features Official Review !
- il y a 7 ans
By fortunate coincidence, the resulting design direction of the new S6 has more than a smidgen of iPhone about. But comparisons are the lowest form of flattery, or however the saying goes.\r
\r
Gone are the ‘nasty plastics of Galaxy past. No faux leather finish as with the Note here either.\r
\r
Instead, the S6 has a metal chassis, and glass covering the front and back. The fit and finish makes you want to use words such as ‘chamfer, ‘roundel and ‘drilled, whatever they mean.\r
\r
While the S6 Edge gets a racy green finish to itself, the S6 gets a surfy blue. Both phones alternatively come in charcoal, white and gold – the finish is described by Samsung as ‘jewel-like. Fortunately its classier than that sounds. The metal edges are almost imperceptibly darker from the white version to the charcoal version.\r
\r
The glass back and the front screen edges curve slightly into the chassis, and theres a very thin bezel on either side of the 5.1in, QHD Super AMOLED screen. Yep, no, 4K screen – but that was never the most desirable of the S6 rumours anyway.\r
\r
Despite the addition of all this glass and metal, the new S6 is lighter than the outgoing S5, albeit by only an imperial smidge. It feels solid and balanced, with a more traditional hand feel than the S6 Edges sharp sides.\r
\r
The power button is situated in the center of the right-hand side of the phone, above the pin-and-socket type SIM tray, and the volume controls are high up on the left side. The top has only a wee microphone hole and the IR sender.\r
\r
Theres much ion on the bottom edge, with the headphone socket, microUSB and a newly placed, power-boosted speaker. Samsung say its 1.5 more louder. Its got a lovely drilling, that speaker, but we daresay that HTCs twin front-mounted BoomSound setup will still be the choice of the boom-tish social misfit. \r
\r
Of course the downside to that unibody shell, for Samsung fans, may be that theres no removable back panel – a sacrifice for the new classy build. So no removable battery either, nor the ability to swap out your memory card.\r
\r
Its not like you get a much bigger battery either: capacity is 2550mAh, compared to 2600mAh for the S6 Edge and 2800mAh for the outgoing S5. But theres wireless charging built in, compatible with an optional Samsung charger and, claimeth they, with the majority of wireless charge points in Starbucks, McDonalds, etc. Its cable charger apparently provides two hours of HD video playback for just 10mins of charging. \r
\r
The lack of microSD card slot may be an issue for some too. Still, the S6 will come with 32, 64 or 128GB of memory built in, and its the new-fangled UFS 2.0 type too. ‘All the faster to fill it up a cynical wolf would say, using his sharpest claw to tiddly-wink his now-redundant microSD collection into the bin. Less doom-laden data hounds might look to a product such as the Leef Bridge to stay on top of their hoardage and backup needs. \r
\r
The camera lens on the back of the S6 protrudes. Forgivable, if its optical image stabilisation and low-light-loving f1.9 aperture hold up in real-world testing.\r
\r
The front camera is 5MP, compared to 16MP round the back, but it also gets the big eye. Both are made slightly easier to use by some camera app tweaks that add text identifiers to the previously inscrutable on-screen icons.\r
