The year 2015 has introduced the people to a number of smartphones that have sometimes stood out and at times just flopped out. With competition from outside like Xioami and Gionee, the “go to” companies have been losing their edge in the market. Well, not all companies are giving into these outsiders and Samsung seems to be one of the fighters. They are literally “edging” out the competition with their newest smartphone, the Galaxy S6 EDGE+. The specifications on this device will literally bring you to the edge of your seat. Let’s take a look at some of the standout features this handset brings to the table.
Body: Weighing in at 132 grams, the S6 EDGE+ is not too heavy in the hand but not too light that you would not know if you had it on you or not. The dimensions are just 142.1 x 7 x 70.1 mm which means it contends with all the slimmest phones out there and fits comfortably into the hand. The back panel has the latest protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 4 which ensures that the phone remains scratch free always.
Platform and Camera: Running on Android 5.0.2 lollipop, the S6 EDGE+ gives you the latest operating system which is upgradeable to 5.1.1. It boasts 3GB of RAM for a superfast experience always. Available in 32GB, 64GB and 128GB so there is no external memory card slot which is not really necessary. The camera is crisp and clear and images are very good from the rear facing 16 megapixel camera. The front facing camera shoots really nicely as well with its 5 megapixel camera and is perfect for video calls.
The biggest and aptly named feature of the phone is the curved touchscreen on the device which allows the user for quicker access to frequently used apps all the time. Although the battery is not as good as other phones in the same price range, the phone lasts an entire day without constant charging. The battery is a 2600 mAh battery which like all new smartphones is non removable.
Coming into the market at a price of around 45,000, the S6 EDGE+ is a good phone for a lot of reasons apart from the stunningly unique looks but when compared to other devices in the same price range, it can fall back on the list. Nevertheless, if you are an avid Samsung user and love how they function, this is the phone to get. The camera, the internal space and the RAM are the major plus points for this giant and if there has to be a con list, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ bring a slightly below average battery and a slightly raised price to the table. Apart from that, this is “must have” smartphone for those who really want to stand out on the edge (no pun intended).
