Barcelona – Samsung doubles: not one, but two new top of the range. In Barcelona, the wait was all for Galaxy S6 , who has arrived, but the South Korean company has preferred to surprise and raise. In stores (in Italy April 10) will ensure the new S6 but also his brother Galaxy S6 Edge , basically the same phone with only the outer edges curved.
After the Notes and the Notes Edge, phablet by nearly six inches, Samsung ‘exports’ curved screen technology – but only on the edges – even the smallest model. And it does so by pushing further on its characteristics, always with the most power, and finally abandoning the plastic and focusing on glass (Gorilla Glass 4) and metal. The slogan: “Made with craftsmanship”. And the presentation is a show, lights everywhere, engaging music, video manicured. And fun is no shortage stoccatine to Apple, as when the stage guarantee “this mobile phone will not bow,” a reference to bendgate iPhone.
ANALYSIS So Samsung redesigns its flagship ERNESTO ASSANTE
The two smartphones are practically twins: super AMOLED 5.1 inch screen with a higher resolution of Full HD (2560 * 1440) and high-density, 577 pixels per inch. Dual processor (2.1 + 1.5 Ghz, the second dedicated to the app), the first 14-nanometer and 64-bit, latest version of Android, 5.0 or the Lollipop, LTE connectivity of the sixth category, the most advanced.
To underline the NFC sensor, one for payments (but in Italy for the moment scordateveli), which is connected to the Samsung Pay, a partnership across the board with the major players in the industry (including Visa and Mastercard) for groped really a revolution in the field of payments via smartphones. And of course – inevitable in such high-end devices – accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, compass and sensor for fingerprint for safety. The two S6 will have three sizes of memory, 32, 64 128 Gb, which will depend on the final price.
The main camera of both S6 is 16 Mpx , while the front is 5 megapixel. But now we know that is not enough to increase the megapixels to make beautiful pictures, indeed: so Samsung has mounted a sensor F1.9, very bright for low-light situations, the HDR and the optical stabilizer OIS to try to ensure a high user experience. But until we try it, we can not guarantee anything.
Another new feature is the wireless charging. Just rest smartphone on a compatible charger to charge it. Perhaps uncomfortable, if you’re used to use it while it is attached to the wire, which often happens with smartphones that run down too quickly. Batteries are from 2500 and 2600 MHA MHA (the Edge). For comparison, the iPhone is the last from 1800, those Hct One just presented here in Barcelona from 2840 and those of the Samsung S5 were from 2800: it is hoped that the less power is compensated by the lower consumption promised, and should ensure 11 hours of use in 4G connectivity. Another thing: the rate of recharge. 100% is reached in half the time of the iPhone 6, guarantee, and a 10-minute charge to have two hours of battery life.
The price is not yet available, but we will always be in the range of around 700-800 Euros. In addition, Samsung has shown, albeit without further develop it, the next evolution of the Galaxy VR , the display of virtual reality, compatible with both S6.
said all this, and considering that the high-end smartphone if they are seen, and if they see here in Barcelona a few , Samsung complisce least the swagger. If users buy less and less top of the range, because now a mobile medium also makes more than necessary, launch new not one but two (in addition to the two notes) is a statement of principle: we are, and no matter what we innovate and move on.
There is not only Apple, in fact. And for the sake of technology – like any market that feeds on competition and challenge – and users, we hope it is not hubris , the arrogance typical of Greek literature, that of Icarus to understand each other, that flying too close to the sun fell into ruin.
