Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge 64GB

The Galaxy S6 edge 64GB is the world's first smartphone to feature a dual-edge display that curves at both sides to make for a stunning look and one of the best designs on a mobile device. The Galaxy S6 edge offers a feature-packed flagship experience and marks a drastic departure in Samsung's top-end smartphone lineup.

The Galaxy S6 edge 64GB has a premium design with glass on both the front and back and metal on the sides, a stark contrast to the plastic Samsung smartphones of the past. It has a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED curved display that provides a stellar viewing experience, with punchy colours, deep blacks, and wide viewing angles. The Edge screen offers access to various functionality. It can light up on an incoming call, show you the latest news and weather highlights, or let you fire up your favourite apps and tasks with a quick swipe.

The Galaxy S6 edge 64GB is powered by the Exynos 7420 chipset, which is the fastest available on a smartphone in 2016. It has eight processing cores for lightning quick performance and the Mali-T760 MP8 GPU for high-fidelity gaming and media viewing. There is 3GB of RAM on the device for multitasking. On the storage front, the Galaxy S6 edge 64GB, like the Galaxy S6, is the first Samsung smartphone without a microSD slot. However, it offers 64GB of storage out of the box and an additional 100GB of free cloud storage through Microsoft OneDrive.

The Galaxy S6 edge 64GB comes with a 16-megapixel rear camera. The camera has features like optical image stabilization and a low aperture for high performance in low-light conditions. It can also take detailed daylight images thanks to the high-resolution sensor and Samsung's impressive image processing algorithm. The phone can also record 4K videos. On the front is an 5-megapixel camera for taking selfies and making video calls. Samsung's front camera isn't as great as the competition's, but the company has finally increased the camera's resolution to match other devices.

The Galaxy S6 edge 64GB has every connectivity option you can think of, including 4G, Wi-Fi, NFC and GPS. There's a microUSB port for wired data transfer and internet tethering. The phone's battery is a 2,600 mAh unit, which is extremely low for a flagship smartphone with so much power under the hood. The battery is non-removable, but Samsung has built in fast wired charging and wireless charging, so you can charge the phone quickly and without hassle.

The Galaxy S6 edge 64GB runs Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box, with Samsung's TouchWiz user interface on top. Samsung's phones have always offered tons of added features over stock Android, but with the Galaxy S6 edge 64GB the company has removed features that didn't serve much purpose, making for a cleaner experience. Samsung has also optimized its software for the first time, making the Galaxy S6 edge a fast and quick performer. The device is upgradeable to Android 6.0 Marshmallow and will get Android 7.0 Nougat as well. The Galaxy S6 edge 64GB is a great device for those looking for the best of everything in a smartphone. It's a great alternative to the iPhone because of its lower price, brilliant design and stunning display. Its only cons are the small battery and the non-expandable storage, so those always on the go and in need of more storage would do well to look for alternatives.
