A few days before the start of sales in Russia, read full Overview Hot news from Koreans. Meet - Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE! Next, many photos, enthusiastic reviews and some comments.
Oh smartphone
At the annual exhibition Mobile WORLD CONGRESS 2015 Samsung is at once two flagship devices of the Galaxy series: Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 EDGE. Both apparatus received positive feedback from the press, and simple mortals were looking forward to the price announcement and the start date of sales. And so, after some time it became known that in Russia the first phones will fall into the hands of happy buyers since April 16.
The price tag in sixty thousand rubles seems high enough, because it is still fresh in memory. Cool reviews of the owners of the previous flagship - Galaxy S5. And in this article we will set all the points over E, so that, reading to the end, you themselves have determined - go to the Android camp or to remain a commitment to the native "apple". In one, I am sure exactly: there will be no indifferent, because the devices turned out really new and technologically.
In my hands turned out to be SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 EDGE, color Black Sapphfire., with 32 gigabytes of memory on board (25.3 GB users are available to the user). It seems to me more interesting than just Galaxy S6 because of the rounded screens. It's good or bad, try to determine with you in this review.
Equipment
In a box of white, dense cardboard with concise design are:
- apparatus itself;
- documentation in a separate box;
- cable micro USB;
- 220V adapter;
- headset with control panel;
- one set of replaceable nozzles for the headset;
- clip for extracting a SIM card tray.
In the box did not show out anything supernatural: everything is necessary and neatly packaged. Brief instructions The user contains a minimum of information. It is assumed that the happy owner of the gadget can read full instructions on the site samsung.
First glance
With the first touch to the device you understand: the company did a lot of work to rethink the concept of the flagship smartphone. No plastic metal and glass. The aluminum frame is elegantly envelopes the verge of the device, and on both sides the electronic filling is securely protecting Gorilla Corning Glass 4.
There should be no scratches or scratches, but fingerprints such a coating collects be healthy (the dream of a criminologist!). So it is necessary to buy a cover, or periodically wipe the screen and the back of the apparatus with a cloth.
In general, despite the jokes about two designers, the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6 EDGE has no similarity. It seems that someone in the depths of the leading department of the Korean company hit the fist on the table and demanded urgently correct all past claims, discontent buyers. The team was performed on excellent. The device does not creak, nothing will be peeled, the course of all buttons is clear, it is pleasant to press.
The battery is now non-removable, and there are no memory cards (everything as we love!). Particularly echidial can compare the location and shape of the elements of the apparatus on the bottom face, but these are small things.
The color of the device is a separate topic for discussion: in the room the smartphone seems to be worn black, but it is worth bringing it to the light, and you understand that in fact the color is deep dark blue. I think that it was exactly the color decision in the potatars in the trilogy about the hobbits, because such a transition of flowers fascinates: he caught himself a few times on the fact that just turn the phone in his hands, watching how his color changes.
The tray for the SIM card is on the upper facet of the device, next to the infrared port (SIC!). S6 EDGE "eats" sims of the smallest format itself, the principle of extracting the tray is simple and familiar: with a clip, which is included, must be pressed into a special hole, until it stops. The SIM card can be inserted only one, no multisime solutions. This is a premium smartphone, remember?
Screen
The screen is chic. No, however, the screen is just gorgeous! Super Amoled Technology, 5.1 "Diagonal, with a resolution of 2560 × 1440 points, Pixel density 577 PPI is not a joke. For comparison, Galaxy S5 had 432 ppi, iPhone 6 Plus - 401 PPI, LG G3 - 543 PPI (though LG G3 is more than 5.5 inches). Black color - True black, all other colors are bright and juicy. In the sun, of course, readability is not very, but on a firm four. When looking at the screen at an angle no changes in brightness and contrast. The curved sides of the screen also do not distort the perception of the picture.
Operating system
I wanted to make a description of the OS separate item, because it can be seen - the company spent big work By changing and optimizing the software component. As an operating system used Android 5.0.2 (Lollipop), on top of which traditionally installed own branded graphic interface - Touchwiz. However, there are few from the usual aronymous touchwiz with a bunch of unnecessary software. All excess animation disappeared, and controls and the overall appearance maximally correspond to the canons of the new Android.
Performance
A few days of active use and tests Antutu confirmed: smartphone performance at height.
It is understandable - eight nuclei is still. By the way, Galaxy S6 EDGE is the first smartphone in which the company used the Exynos 7420 processor, built on a new 14 nanometer technology. It consumes significantly less energy. The principle of operation does not differ from the OCTACore chips, where the processor is divided into two clusters of four processor cores: ARM Cortex-A57 with a frequency of 2.1 GHz and an energy-saving ARM Cortex-A53 with a frequency of 1.5 GHz. The overall performance impartially shown the GeekBench test:
"Heavy" games just fly, there are no lags. The MALI-T760 processor corresponds to the graphics, there are no complaints to it.
Test 3D Mark confirmed: Galaxy S6 EDGE has a graphic plan more than in order. Analogues according to the results of the tests of the smartphone in this moment There is no market.
Communication
The phone got me with a SIM card from the company MTS, so I have not experienced problems with communication. The device operates in GSM 850, 900, 1800 networks, 1900 MHz, and the data transfer rate through 4G LTE reaches 150 Mbps. I tested the Internet connections at different points in Moscow and everywhere the smartphone was smartly loaded the page of sites, could use streaming radio. Of course, I did not see the ideal 150 Mbit / s, but the SpeedTest service stably showed the results of receiving data on the level of 20-27 MBIT / s. There were no problems with the Internet never than remained very pleased.
In addition, there are Wi-Fi modules 802.11a / B / G / N / AC (2.4 / 5 GHz), Bluetooth 4.1, NFC., Support DLNA, OTG, MTP, Miracast and GPS / GLONASS. At the top end there is an IR port for controlling various home appliances (type TV) through a regular application.
Samsung also finally used technology wireless charging In its flagships of the most common standards - Qi and Powermat. In addition, the company will launch their own wireless charging. Models are already presented in the colors of "white pearls" and "Blue Topaz". They look, judging by the photographs on the Internet, stylishly, and during recharging it is also highlighted around the perimeter.
Camera
In Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, engineers used the camera similar to the characteristics with such a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (the same 16 megapixels, with an optical stabilizer), but the lens with F / 1.9 decides - in the dark the camera is better than in the NOTE notes. Settings in the application itself a lot, for every taste.
In general, the camera is one of the strongest sides of the Korean flagship: the shooting of the HDR is implemented in real time (without having to do several frames sequentially) and special mode for photographing with low lighting. The camera starts and ready to work within 0.7 seconds. A special button to start the camera is missing, but there is an option to use double pressing on the center key ("home").
In comparison, iPhone 6 was used, the difference in the photo can be assessed below.

The device can shoot videos both in Full HD format and in the ultra-resolution 4K.

Among other features of the chamber showed an interesting 3D photo mode. You need to bypass with the camera included an object, and the resulting three-dimensional picture will remain in the photo gallery. Subsequently, such a photo can be viewed from different sides with a gyroscope. Best of all this feature illustrates this animation.
The front camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels is simply created for "myself" and video link. Quality is also at the height.
Outcome: The camera in the new apparatus from the Koreans is amazing in its clarity and quantity additional settings. You can manually set the ISO parameters, white balance, focus, various color filters. Objects, photographed in motion, are not lubricated, serial shooting gives up to 35 frames in 10 seconds. Received pictures can be immediately divided into social networks, send by mail or save in cloud storage.
Camera wants to put five plus. Well done.
Chips
One of the main chips of the new smartphone is of course, rounded on the sides of the screen. In a notebook and browser, it is very convenient to scroll through the lists and pages, leading your finger on the side facet of the screen. In addition, an additional menu appears on the desktop, which can be caused by spending your finger from the right edge. In this menu, the user can assign up to five important contacts from notebook. Each contact is assigned its color (the choice is purple, green, blue, yellow and orange).
If the phone lies with the screen down, and one of these five contacts tries to reach you, the face of the phone begins glowing with the color that was assigned to the contact. Conveniently at meetings or in silent mode, and it looks very stylish.
Also, the side edge can inform about missed calls and notifications relating to five selected contacts. There is a "Information flow" function when notifications are displayed as a string on the side face when the screen is turned off, and the "Night Clock" function when current Time Also displayed on the side face if the screen does not work.

Conclusion
Samsung listened to the complaints and wishes of users of her smartphones. The company's engineers have created unique, original devices that will no longer compare with the "apple" products. I think that in Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge really can not fall in love because it is not like an iPhone, but because it is just good. And it's great, because competition spurs its progress.
(No voices) 
The glory of Galaxy Note Fablets began to fade, and Samsung decided to come up with something new. The success of the spring presented Galaxy S6 EDGE showed that the company moves in the right direction. An unusual smartphone appearance is attracted attention. What need to do? That's right, the same thing, but more. We meet Galaxy S6 EDGE +.

But beautiful
People tired of comparing the processors among themselves and delve into the essence of benchmarks. When the smartphone costs a thousand dollars, I just want to just get a beautiful device that I do not want to get out of the hands. And Galaxy S6 EDGE + gives such emotions. FINALLY SAMSUNG found their horse. On their background, curved LG screens look quite differently, well, no one else can bend the screens.
We want to note that against the background of the "ordinary S6 EDGE", it added it in the sizes fellow became more convenient. Why? The model has become larger, now a wide smartphone takes most of the palm, without poured into it, the edges have become a bit larger.
Despite the combination of glass and aluminum, the model does not seem to be slippery. Bursts rest in the palm, and unlike iPhone 6 Plus there are no concerns that the gadget will slip out. In addition, against the background of the Apple Flight, the Korean novelty came out very compact if so can be expressed about the smartphone with a 5.7-inch screen. But the diagonal is larger, and the dimensions are less. Apple again in span.
The reverse side of the glamorous life is marked. The brilliant glass body is very easy to drink, so in the fight for the appearance it has to regularly wipe the case of matter. We can advise you to pay attention to the version in the bright design, it looks more attractive. By the way, the IR port disappeared from the top end, which was at S6 EDGE.
Galaxy S6 EDGE + does not differ in design from the usual S6 EDGE. More due to the enlarged screen, but the cool curved design, metal and glass we have already seen. Nevertheless, the spectacular smartphone has never ceased.
As good as it gets
Image quality is very high, it is one of the best screens Among mobile devices on the market. 5.7 inches, resolution 2560x1440 Points, Super AMOLED - Such a combination will meet only from Samsung.
Details of the implementation of bilateral bend - in the review of the usual S6 EDGE. In the version of the size "Plus", everything is exactly the same: it is impressive, unusual, convenient: we will tell about notifications and special modes further.
Detailed testing Screen held our expert Mikhail Kuznetsov:
Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE + Smartphone boasts a 5.7-inch OLED screen (or Super AMOLED in the company's nomenclature) representing the most modern technology. Its permission is 2560x1440 (Quad HD), and the pixel density shivels - 518 ppi. Naturally, it is not necessary to complain about the clarity of the image.
The actual brightness of the OLED display depends on the nature of the image. In the worst case, on the white fill in full screen - you can get 450 kD / m2, which can already be considered a good result. But if the smartphone in authores will be on the bright sun, the screen brightness can increase as much as 786 cd / m2. This is an unprecedented level of brightness for smartphones: even the recent Note 5 remained a little behind. Anti-glare properties, viewing angles and the contrast of OLED are simply excellent that adds the screen S6 EDGE + points.
Speaking about the color rendition, it is necessary to consider that in the Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE + there are four color profiles designed for different tastes and needs. They are quite different among themselves.
Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE + screen turned out to be excellent, differences from Note 5 here a bit. The outstanding characteristics of the OLED display are supported by several color profiles, among which there are both accurate and "screaming". A very universal and impressive screen that can be easily adjusted to your tastes.
What benefits
Thanks to the curved on both sides, the screen can not only get the feeling of the volume while watching a photo or video. Samsung thought about how to extract the maximum benefit from such a concept, proposing the following options.
Choose five contacts with which we communicate more often than others, each of them gets its own color. Then during an incoming call will easily determine the caller using the backlight. Another opportunity - fast access To one of the five applications to choose a user. In addition, notifications about new messages or calls, data on time or weather, as well as the information flow of news come.
Where is everything else?
We will not repeat the story about the characteristics of the smartphone. We have already tested Galaxy S6 EDGE and NOTE 5, identical models, the difference is only in the absence of a stylus in S6 EDGE +. Therefore, do not be surprised by a short review, because the case is in saving your time. Look at the frozen benchmarks in comparison with competitors - everything is approximately the same.
We only note that the work time at EDGE + is slightly higher than that of the "ordinary" edge. The results themselves coincide with the measurements that we conducted for Note 5. Receive about 10-11 hours of operation in video viewing mode, about 3.5-4 hours in games and more than 7 hours in PCMark.
As for the camera, it is also exactly the same. The module, the shooting algorithms have not changed compared to the Galaxy Note 5. Yes, and why change the fact that one of the best on the market? Look at the Gallery of the pictures, in our opinion, not to complain about what:
These examples of SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE Snapshot 5. The camera is exactly the same as S6 EDGE +. That is, one of the best among existing smartphones.
The Fablte has support for LTE Cat.9. In the theory it gives very fast mobile Internet: 300 Mbps to the subscriber and 50 Mbps from the subscriber. But in fact, such networks are available only in several cities of Russia, so this feature will not play a special role when choosing a gadget. But still nice.
Bloggers will like an interesting chip - Fablet knows how to fight the video directly on YouTube. It is enough to run the camera, select the mode, well, and log in to your account. After that, you can broadcast without any additional equipment.
We also note the presence of optical stabilization at the front chamber, now it is a rarity. Together with Note 5, this is the world's first smartphone with such a function. Examples of selfie below.
Opinion Hi-Tech.mail.ru.
It would be worthwhile to come up with the name of the shorter, "GaexieseSseherPlus" sounds like a spell of medieval alchemist. But these are picking: Samsung has a real flagship. From the "small" S6 EDGE, it is distinguished by a large screen, greater battery capacity and better time Work, improved frontal chamber. Is it worth overpayments of 12 thousand rubles? After all, the usual S6 edge costs 43 tons, and EDGE + already 55 tr. (prices for variations with 32 GB of memory). It is unlikely: the price is too large. In general, because of the price wars, the S6 / S6 edge has turned out to be the best choice among flagship smartphones, and compete with it is hard not only to other companies, but also the newcomers of Samsung.
Other competitors? The omnipresent iPhone 6 Plus. With other devices, the Samsung gadget does not make sense, they have a lower class. Among such devices - HTC One M9 + and Sony Xperia. Z3 + (but they have 5.2 inches - little), LG G4 (5.5 dum), and you can unofficially you can order a much more affordable Xiaomi Mi Note Pro. But on the approach, the exhibition IFA and flagship sony, as well as the presentation of the new generation of iPhone. That's when the real battle comes.

All SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 models have an SM-G920X format, where instead of x follows the alphaline model index characterizing the binding to a specific national market or the operator, can also affect the package and some other parameters (for example, CDMA support). First of all, this is due to the fact that different frequency ranges are allowed in different countries.
Similarly, the numbers of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge models have an SM-G925X format, which resembles an approach to the numbers of the Galaxy Note Edge models, which came out half a year ago. His "native brother" Galaxy Note 4 had an SM-N910X format, and Galaxy Note Edge - SM-N915X.

Last spring, the Korean giant Samsung presented to the admired public option "for the rich" of his flagship smartphone Galaxy S6, characterized from the base model bent on the side of the screen. The rear side of the Galaxy S6 EDGE smartphone is also closed with glass, only smooth. It looks stylish and unusual, besides, the developers have tried to use the side as much as possible: elected contacts are displayed on it, and incoming call Each of them is highlighted by their own color. On the side of the side displays news from the information tape, and in the night mode - the clock. At the bottom of the front panel there is a fingerprint recognition sensor that unlocks the phone. In general, stylish, unusual, modern ... However, unfortunately, there is still no smartphone from some advantages.
Galaxy S6 EDGE - fast and smart
The Smartphone Galaxy S6 EDGE works on the SOC database (system on a crystal) exynos 7420 created by Samsung developers. This chipset is performed using 14 NM technology and many analysts are considered the most powerful mobile processor at present. The chipset contains 4 Arm Cortex-A57 kernels with a clock frequency of 2.1 GHz and 4 Arm Cortex-A53 cores with a frequency of 1.5 GHz. The graphics controls the MALI T760 video acceiver, which is also part of the SOC. The transition to 14NM technology allowed to reduce the consumption of electricity to the processor with an increase in performance, which, of course, affects the duration of work mobile device From the battery.
The Samsung Galaxy C6 EJ smartphone has 3 GB of LPDDR4 format. This modification of the DDR SDRAM memory also works with reduced supply voltage. Permanent memory, depending on the model, is 32, 64 or 128 GB, while the design of the smartphone does not provide a slot to the memory card. An alternative can serve as a USB OTG support, so that a flash drive can be connected to the smartphone.
Galaxy S6 Edge is managed by Android 5.0 with the Touchwiz User Interface from Samsung. Among the many useful functions of the shell, it is possible to mark energy-saving mode, privacy mode, work in 2 windows, etc. Branded health tracking program S Health controls the heart rate sensor located next to the main chamber. SMART SWITCH data transfer service allows you to transfer any information from devices running iOS, Windows, BlackBerry to devices from Samsung.
Now Galaxy S6 Edge is the fastest smartphone that generates the nearest competitors Meizu MX4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 according to the results of Antutu tests. There are no braking when working with heavy applications, watch video and web surfing.
Galaxy S6 EDGE: Display and Cameras
The touch screen of the Galaxy S6 EDGE smartphone diagonal 5.1 "and the resolution of 2560-1440 is made using Super AMOLED technology, which provides complete viewing angles, less response time, larger color range and smaller screen thickness compared to LCD displays. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 4 glass, which, according to the developers, with a probability of 80% remains integer when falling on a solid rough surface like asphalt or concrete.
Surprisingly high image quality on display - the main thing difference Galaxy S6 EDGE from competitors. With a review of 180 degrees. horizontally and vertical colors are not inverted, retain brightness and contrast.
The light sensor controls automatic brightness adjustment of the picture. You can change this parameter in the corresponding menu item. In the light, the screen almost does not glare, and the brightness with the margin is enough for the picture to be clearly visible on a sunny day.
The frontal 5-megapixel camera "Samsung Galaxy C6 EJ" is activated by the gesture of the palm opened. For calf, a cardiac rhythm sensor is used. The main chamber of 16 MRX is equipped with a LED flash, monitoring autofocus and optical stabilization. The camera can be removed in resolution to 4K (UHD), and at the frame rate of 69 k / s - 1920-1080 (Full HD). Both snapshots and video are distinguished by high quality worthy of a decent camera.
Communications Galaxy C6 EJ
Nanosim Telephone Map is installed in a plastic tray located on the top end sAMSUNG smartphone Galaxy S6 EDGE. A tray is called by pressing the clips included in the package to the drowning button. The smartphone works confidently on 2G / 3G / 4G LTE networks. There is support for NFC, Bluetooth 4.1, Wi-Fi 802.11n / AC, HT80 MIMO and Wi-Fi Direct. The navigation module works with GPS, Russian GLONASS and Chinese Beidou (BDS).
Galaxy S6 EDGE Battery
The capacity of the built-in battery is 2600 mAh, which is not at all a special achievement for a smartphone of such a configuration. However, the charge is enough for 8-11 hours at full load: view video, web surfing, conversations, data transmission. Special advantage of the battery is a high-speed charging: 1-2 hours to a complete charge. Wireless charging is supported.
Smartphone Galaxy S6 EDGE: design against ergonomics
We have to admit that in this model, ergonomics were sacrificed design. On the one hand, the dimensions of the smartphone allow it to be comfortable to fit in the palm of palm. On the other hand, the thumb definarily falls on the print recognition sensor only at the owners of a small hand, others have to go to the button so that the device recognize the host.
Smooth glass, closing the smartphone on both sides, does not allow to securely retain the device in the hands, and the metal edging of the front and rear panel hits a pretty discomfort when calling on the street in winter. An output can be a protective case, but then all the beauty of the smartphone will be hidden. What does it ask, paid?
The GALAXY S series devices almost all the time of their existence "left" exclusively at the expense of advanced technical characteristics Together with moderate - by the standards of flagships - price. And finally, the time has come for change: it seems that this year some manufacturers themselves will want to "circle" Galaxy S6 EDGE. But it is worth this device more than the rest.

From the point of view of "iron", everything also has changed dramatically with galaxy time S5, although politics remained the same: the new flagship is all the best, the most advanced one. S6 and S6 EDGE smartphones boast a QUAD HD display, the most new EXYNOS - 7420 platform, the most advanced LPDDR4 operational memory, LTE CAT support. 6 and 16-MP camera. In general, "full minced", all by the latest technology. Are new flagships so good? Let's try to answer this question after a detailed test.

The only serious distinction between the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 EDGE is in the display and design: the first device has a completely standard screen, and the second is bent on the sides. The rest of the device is very similar to each other, but are not very identical. There is a slight difference in dimensions: the thickness of the case at the usual version is 6.8 millimeters, and EDGE has 7 millimeters. But a modification with a rounded display is slightly easier - 132 against 138 grams. Finally, different batteries are used: 9.69 W · h (2550 mA · h, 3.8 V) at the usual version and 9.88 W · h (2600 mA · h, 3.8 V) at EDGE. The rest of the S6 and S6 EDGE are identical on the technical stuffing.
⇡ Appearance and ergonomics
All devices at Samsung are somehow similar to each other. They have similar proportions of the case, approximately the same radius of the angles, the oblong central key at the bottom of the front panel ... In general, the smartphone from Samsung to know easily. The situation has practically not changed: the appearance of Galaxy S6 / S6 edge remained very characteristic - even if you see this couple for the first time, you will not hope to guess that in front of you Samsung.
Nevertheless, the predecessors of Galaxy S6 / S6 EDGE differ dramatically. So much that, if you carry out parallels, you can say: S6 and S6 EDGE is not even "restyling", this is a full-fledged new "body" for Samsung flagships. Designers and engineers of the company finally abandoned the use of plastic in favor of metal and glass. This is perhaps the key difference between S6 / S6 EDGE from predecessors. Facial and rear panels are covered protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass relatively new, fourth generation. For the first time it, by the way, was used in the "Fablte" Samsung Galaxy Note. 4 - the first serial device of the company with curved screen. The shield completely reliably protects the gadget panels from the appearance of scratches and other small damage.
Galaxy S6 EDGE is available in four colors: Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, White Pearl and Exclusive Green Emerald. Order a device in a corporate green color in Russia, unfortunately, so far it is impossible. The Gadget Colors Gadget "Black Sapphire" came to testing. In our opinion, it is very good color. The smartphone seems black, however, when the light falls on it, the dark blue defill appears. In general, the phrase "dark blue metallic" is much better and more accurately characterizes this color than "black sapphire". It should be borne in mind that the "ordinary" Galaxy S6 color of the case is other.
Hold in the hands of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge nice. The gadget is quite convenient to control one hand: it is not necessary to move it and hold the second one - it's good that Samsung decided not to increase the size of the screen in comparison with Galaxy S5. Yes, the display here is a 5.1-inch, that according to modern standards is not so much. The device does not slide in the hands, although it is rather smooth panels. During operation, the palm hits the "sidewall" of the screen, but the gadget does not respond to these false pressing. They are probably blocked at the program level.
The location of controls and connectors is quite standard - plus-minus the same as the previous Samsung devices. Get used to smartphone very easy. In the top of the front panel there is a front lens, a 5-megapixel camera, a mesh of a conversational speaker, the optocoupler of the approximation sensor and the LED indicator.

At the bottom of the front panel there is an oblong key "Home" with a metal cantic in which a biometric sensor is built. Next to it are two standard touch buttons equipped with a disabled backlight, "open applications menu" and "back".
The thickness of the case here is by no means outstanding - seven millimeters (without taking into account the protruding lens of the rear chamber). Nevertheless, due to the narrowing metal Kartat on the side of the sides, the deceptive feeling is created that the smartphone is much thinner than declared.
The device's turning key is put on the right end under the thumb, and the volume control buttons are on the left. Metal keys, short and distinct running. The Nano-SIM SIM-SIM SIM card tray is hiding in the upper end, and next to it is an infrared port for managing household appliances.
The slot of the external speaker is put on the lower end. His accommodation is good - in the process of operation, it does not overlap in any way. Next to it is the Micro-USB interface, combined with the video output (MHL), as well as a universal 3.5-millimeter connector for connecting a wired headset.
The rear panel is the main lens, 16-MP cameras together with the LED flash, as well as a cardiac rhythm sensor. The panel is rather brand - it is quite quickly dirty and very willingly collect fingerprints. However, you can get rid of them with the help of any girlfriend rag. The body in the apparatus is unbearable.
