Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge: 5 Things to Know Before Buying! #Helpful Post

Samsung just announced the galaxy s6 and

s6 Eady

before you pick one up here are five

things you need to know so what's up

guys Jonathan here with TLD hope you

guys are doing well in this past week I

got a chance to go hands-on with both

the Galaxy s6 and s6 edge early I wanted

to give you guys a rundown of everything

you need to know before spending your

cash on one of these first and foremost

this is a completely new design anything

that we've come to know about the galaxy

s design materials or lack thereof can

be thrown out the window this is a

completely different animal constructed

out of aluminium and glass and it feels

really good now before I get any further

let's all address the elephant in the

room because it is a big one immediate

reaction when seeing the Galaxy s6 and

s6 edge for the first time is that it

looks very familiar it's like somehow

the galaxy s5 got knocked up by both the

iPhone 4 and the iPhone 6 and now came

the galaxy s6 and it's slightly

different looking twin bro the galaxy s6

edge surprisingly though I didn't mind

that at all it's a little hard to

portray through video but in person I

really dug the looks of the phone and

how it felt in my hand at in terms of

straight-up feel I would take that all

day long over the iPhone 6 one-hand

ability is on point and Samsung bump up

the resolution on both the s6 and s6

edge without increasing the screen size

they both feature a 5.1 inch quad HD

Super AMOLED display and a non fancy

tech lingo that's a resolution of 2560

by 1440 which is a next step above 1080p

so as a result you're getting a crisp

your image in the same amount of real

estate as the galaxy s5 for example and

a total pixel density of 577 pixels per

inch now the next thing you need to know

is straight out the differences between

the two the s6 and the s6 edge are

actually marketed equally by Samsung

it's not like before where the edge was

some experiments key where they were

just kind of testing the waters these

are both equal full-fledged flagship so

I kind of wanted to help you guys

separate between the two and ultimately

help you figure out which might be

better for you aside from the actual

edge

on the s6 edge and a slightly larger

battery everything is literally

identical as I mentioned they both share

the same screen but they both also share

the same a core processor 16 megapixel

camera 3 gigs of ram and both are

running Android 5.0 lollipop the s6 edge

has a slightly larger battery coming in

at 2600 milliamp hours whereas the

standard s6 is 25 50 very minimal and I

wouldn't expect that to translate into

better battery life rather I would think

that slight bump is to compensate for

the actual edges on the galaxy s6 edge

so really it comes down to whether or

not you think you'll take advantage of

those edges unlike the Galaxy Note edge

where you are limited to one side this

has two so you can actually choose which

side you want the text to appear on it

has a bedside mode where it's gonna

faintly display the time so a that's

gonna reduce power draw and B it's not

gonna be overbearing and blind the crap

out of your eyes when you're just waking

up from pitch-black you can then tap to

activate the edge for full brightness

and then the scroll see notifications

it's very similar to the Moto X active

display where you're able to see

important information without wasting

unnecessary power over extra pixels

what's really sweet though is that the

edge notifications can be

color-coordinated to your contacts so if

your phone is facing down let's say your

wife husband boyfriend girlfriend

brother or even mom or dad calls its

gonna pull to whichever color you have

them assigned to and that can also be

applied to text or even email so if

those sound appealing or useful to you

then the edge might be the better choice

and for me I actually this plain-out

preferred how the edge felt in my hand

versus the standard galaxy s6 now the

next thing you need to know is because

of the new premium design that comes at

a cost and you will be sacrificing and

losing some things yes pass galaxy s

phones haven't had the most amazing

build quality but two things diehard

Galaxy users loved where the modularity

of being able to swap out batteries and

also the freedom to expand storage via

microSD card and these are both gone on

both the galaxy s6 and s6 edge now that

alone I know is gonna cause an uproar

and there's some people that are gonna

lose their over this but really

it's like Samsung is gonna get hated on

whatever they do before it was knocking

Samsung for their plastic phones well

actually it was TouchWiz 2 but really

one of the biggest gray

their phones were never up to par on

some of the other premium smartphones

this time though they stepped up the

build quality game which I appreciate

but I can see where it's really

important for those who really relied on

microSD expansion or that swappable

battery so if those are really important

to you you might have to look elsewhere

this time one bright note though out of

this whole expansion catastrophe is the

galaxy s6 and edge both now start at 32

gigabytes as the base model as opposed

to 16 on the galaxy s5 for example so

that may help offset the difference for

some of you out there now the fourth

thing you need to know is actually on a

positive note and that's that the camera

will be awesome

both the s6 and s6 edge are packing a 16

megapixel camera and if we're talking

solely megapixels it's the same as the

s5 but I must stress megapixels are not

everything in addition to getting oh is

on the rear camera you're also getting a

bump on the front facing camera that's

going up to 5 megapixels as opposed to 2

on the galaxy s5 you're also getting a

lower aperture on both cameras at F 1.9

and that's gonna equate to better

low-light performance and also more of

that blurred out background look on

those close-up shots

you also get insanely fast access to the

camera now just by double tapping the

home button and this can be accessed

from anywhere on the phone and doesn't

matter which application you're using

and testing it out in person this works

really well on top of that both feature

real time auto HDR and tracking

autofocus and this is gonna be helpful

when you have a moving subject it's

gonna lock on to them and keep focused

as he or she is moving in this case

shoutout to the awesome Lamarr Wilson

for being my model now the last thing

you need to know and this may be a huge

deal breaker or very important for some

of you out there and that's not to

expect great battery life even comparing

the galaxy s6 and s6 edge to the galaxy

s5 they both have a lower capacity

battery and then on top of that you

combine a higher resolution screen it's

probably not gonna be amazing

the upside though is the processor is

more efficient and I don't think that's

really gonna translate again to better

battery life I think Samsung is really

just shooting to get it on par with the

galaxy s5 which to me really isn't a win

for the consumer like I've talked about

before I think one of the biggest

bottlenecks in terms of smartphones

specifically is battery life it just

really has an advanced like everything

else in that

has we're at the stage where every

manufacturer wants thin thin thin thin

let's see how thin we can make the phone

but I wouldn't mind a slightly thicker

phone if I could get a chuck norris like

battery aside from that both of these

are still dealing with TouchWiz although

it's a little less TouchWiz II I think

we can all agree no TouchWiz would be

the best route to take I did however

really like how they implemented

multitasking so if you're in your recent

apps window you can actually scroll

through those and then any open

application with the multitasking icon

can be used to start the multitasking

and then from there once that is started

that you can then scroll through your

apps and figure out what is that second

app that you want in your multitasking

window so that's really useful if you

enjoyed the video and you're feeling

like being awesome make sure to go crazy

on that like button and of course in

return you get a virtual high five at

your face aside from that I didn't get a

ton of time with both devices so this of

course isn't a review but those are

coming very soon so definitely stay

tuned for that and feel free to
