At last the great day has come. Samsung played a lot with the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S6 And, after having tried the new flagship of the Korean manufacturer's Galaxy S family, the sensations could not have been better.
At first, when we found out about Project Zero, we thought that Samsung would opt for a design change, although it was later leaked that the change would lie in the materials used for the construction of the S6. And it must be recognized that, this time, Samsung has hit the mark with the Samsung Galaxy S6.
Continuous design with premium finishes

Samsung I was losing steam in the market, dominated in recent years with an iron fist by the Korean manufacturer. Much of the public asked to abandon polycarbonate to use higher quality materials. And Samsung has listened to them, yes it has listened to them.
And this time the manufacturer has opted for a Samsung Galaxy S6 with quality finishes. Its body with metal finish on its frames, has a layer of tempered glass on the back of the device, very much in the style of Sony's Xperia Z range, and the sensations to the touch are quite pleasant.
Note that its glass back layer has aGorilla Glass 4 protection. One of the problems with phones with this type of material is that they are quite fragile to accidental bumps and drops. The inclusion of this layer from Corning will offer great resistance to the device.
Otherwise we see a device that maintains the design of its predecessors, although in this case It is a cross between the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Personally I really like the result, although to taste, the colors.
A simply spectacular display
Samsung has always stood out for the quality of the screen of its flagships and the Samsung Galaxy S6 was not going to be an exception. Its 5.1-inch Super AMOLEd panel offers a 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution, reaching an outrageous pixel density: 577ppp. They have also improved the brightness reaching 600 nits, so you can use the device in any situation.
The specifications that have been leaking over the last few months are confirmed. In this way, the manufacturer decides to put Qualcomm aside and bet on its own SoC, in this case a Exynos 7420 14nm and 64-bit architecture consisting of eight cores, four at 2.1 GHz and another four at 1.5 GHz clock speed.
Highlight your 3GB DDR4 RAM that promises more than enough performance for a high-end terminal. There will be three versions with 32, 64 or 128 GB of internal storage. The only but that we find is the fact that Samsung has had to do without the micro SD card slot. An evil caused by the new design and finishes of the device.
The battery shall be integrated and have a 2.550 mAh capacity. At first it may seem a bit scarce, especially if we take into account the technical characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S6, but we must bear in mind that the new processor consumes much less than previous models.
We will have to wait to test it thoroughly to see if the manufacturer has succeeded. An interesting detail is that it is standard wireless charging, WPC and PMA, and a fast charge mode that offers a performance of 4 hours after 10 minutes of charging. At the connectivity level, the
Samsung Galaxy S6 will have support LTE, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi and heart rate sensor.
Samsung has also improved the fingerprint reader since now you will not have to move your finger to activate it.
16 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization
Another of Samsung's big bets with its S6 comes with the camera. And is that the new flagship comes with a 16 megapixel camera, the same sensor that the Note 4 mounts, although they have improved a couple of very interesting sections.
On the one hand we have a larger aperture, going from f2.2 to f1.9 which will allow to capture much more light. In the presentation they have shown some examples and it must be said that the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S6 looks very good.
In addition, the Galaxy S6 integrates a improved focus and impressive operating speed. As for the front camera, this time the manufacturer has opted for a 5 megapixel lens
Price and availability of the Samsung Galaxy S6
At the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S6 they have announced that the new Korean workhorse It will hit stores on April 10. Available in Pearl White, Sapphire Black, Platinum Gold and Topaz Blue, the 32 GB model is expected to cost 699 euros, the 64 GB version 799 euros, while the 128 GB model will reach 899 euros.
In short, a terminal with an excellent pint, although there are three details that we miss compared to its predecessor. On the one hand, there is the battery life, lower than that of the Samsung Galaxy S5. And on the other hand the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S6 is not waterproof. Besides the fact that the Galaxy S6 does not allow to expand its memory.

Do you think Samsung has succeeded with the Samsung Galaxy S6?
Everything presents you, excuse me, but your sofward's battery goes bad, if not, the kitkat 4.4.2 with its bad update.
do something get your bad updates that have cell phones they always do everything wrong now my cell goes off always.
How to say without radical dreaming and tell them because P @ & $ ¥ they took away the SD everything else is presumable but the SD and the battery excuse me geniuses but they are two buts I really hate. Month ago when the cold water voucher was in fashion, the s5 challenged half the world now that the s5 challenges the s6. But the water is over the battery and the SD are unforgivable things. Well I will buy it in May. I do not deny that unless I decide on the note 4. Or I get angry and continue with my S5 one more generation hoping to recover what s6 lost.
