The sleek new model features an aluminum casing, and the front and back panels are protected by tempered glass Corning Gorilla Glass 4. The phone is quite comfortable in the palm of your hand, although it is not always convenient to operate it with one hand.
By technical characteristics Samsung GALAXY S6 Edge SM-G925F 32Gb LTE Black In almost everything it copies the S6 brother (without the "edge" in the name): a new fast eight-core Exynos 7420 processor with a clock frequency of 2.1 GHz, a Mali-T760 video accelerator and 3 GB of RAM (DDR4) with a very high bandwidth of 3.2 GB / s. The internal memory is 32 GB. Responsible for management OS Android 5 Lollipop with a proprietary TouchWiz interface.

On April 16, sales of Samsung's flagship smartphones - Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge - started in Russia. Due to the strengthening ruble, the company revised its recommended retail prices several times. As a result, the regular Galaxy S6 with 32 GB of memory starts at 46,990 rubles, and the curved Galaxy S6 Edge with 32 GB can officially be bought for 54,990 rubles (buyers can take versions with a large drive). Several colors. Watch the unboxing of the Russian Galaxy S6 in sapphire black color:
The box contains a phone (built-in battery - 2550 mAh), a headset, a microUSB cable, a needle for a SIM tray, a charger (2 A), a user manual and a warranty. There are several reasons why I decided to take the S6 over the S6 Edge for the upcoming reviews and comparisons. First, the S6 is much more comfortable in the hand, and they are identical in performance, camera and sound. Secondly, the S6 is significantly cheaper. Thirdly, the curvature of the Edge and the soft tricks tied to it is a pampering that will get bored as quickly as the S4's control of the swings, head and eyes gets tired. Fourth, the S6 itself is a wow factor, as glass and metal - people will pay attention anyway. Fifth, summing up all that has been said, SGS6 will be more popular, which means it will be more relevant in reviews.
Initially, I wanted to get a white or gold S6, as they are less easily soiled, but only the black version was available. He took it, not regretting it, because in reality it looks cool, but he still does not blurt out as much as expected. And in any case, the backdrop will have to be covered with some kind of protection, otherwise scratches will quickly overcome it. If the Galaxy S5 at the first meeting caused mixed feelings and it could be called a must-si flagship at a stretch, the Galaxy S6 gives no reason for doubt. This is a top-end device that will be heard all year long and which will be equal not only to Chinese manufacturers, but also to A-brands. It amazingly combines cutting edge hardware and striking design with premium materials. I'm afraid Samsung's competitors will have to jump over their heads to get customers interested.
From the first observations: the device lies well in the hand, is pleasant to the touch, works smartly, TouchWiz does not lag, the Super AMOLED screen does not bother with its PenTile matrix due to its high resolution, the camera focuses quickly in room conditions. In the near future we will delight you with an overview of the gaming capabilities of the Galaxy S6, share examples of photos and videos, and then prepare a detailed review with coverage of all aspects.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 came out with a lot of buzz, finally introducing changes in design, materials and fixes for the flaws that were in the Galaxy S5. Now we have a real premium smartphone with a beautiful metal and glass body, but at the same time, there were some compromises - the back panel and battery were not removable, and there is no way to increase the amount of memory. Although at the expense of a non-removable battery, you can already argue a little. Either way, the Galaxy S6 looks great! You just have to choose a model with the required memory capacity (32/64/128 GB) and the desired color. At the expense of memory - here the choice is yours, since you yourself roughly know how quickly it fills up. But with the choice of color, we can help.
First, the glass backs of the Galaxy S6 are very different from any plastic, be it matte or translucent. Glass reflects and refracts color in its own way. It is especially important to choose the color of the smartphone because the back panel is non-removable and you cannot replace it with any other color. You are only given the choice that Samsung makes.
Let's start the comparison, probably with the classic variants of the Galaxy S6 - white and black. The white model of the smartphone still retains a "classic" look, no matter how you look at the device. On the other hand, the black version tends to refract light and become slightly bluish. All this is due to the transparency of the material. Don't expect a deep black body from the Galaxy S6, but I note that this option looks no less stylish from any angle.
And here we are already looking at the Galaxy S6 in golden color, although at some angles the golden color becomes tinged with pink. However, this does not in the least interfere with the harmonious complement of each other with a metal frame and gold-colored glass panels. I note that this is the most prominent model among the entire line.
Finally, we got to the fourth model of the Galaxy S6 - a real exclusive, because the Galaxy S6 Edge did not receive such an option. This is a blue (blue) version of the flagship that is eye-catching, but at the same time it is one of the most unusual options. It will suit those people who like unusual combinations.
However, you can choose for yourself without a hint what color you want to buy the Galaxy S6.

Operating system: OS 11
iPhone - originally conceived as the one and only, today it is offered just the same for every taste and color. Although, for every taste and color - this may be an exaggeration, but, in any case, at the moment, the range of i-smartphones is wider than ever.
In the official sale currently appear - iPhone SE, iPhone 6S / 7, as well as Plus-versions of the latter two. At the same time, each of the devices is still offered in several colors! And if choosing a model is not so difficult - the most advanced ones are “sevens”, fans of small smartphones - the SE version, and the rest, in fact, are the iPhone 6S; then the color is more difficult. Strict Space Gray or catchy Rose Gold? Classic but effective Silver or bright and somewhat controversial Gold?
Well, let's figure it out - which iPhone color will suit you best! We will understand using the example of the iPhone 6S.
iPhone 6S is offered to users in four colors - the first two can be called classic - this is gray, which Apple dubbed very nicely Spay Gray, which means “space gray” and silver - Silver - which for some reason did not get a special name. Well, yes, okay, this, in general, is not the first, not the last and not the most interesting riddle from the "apple" giant.
What are these two smartphones? Let's take a look at them. Let's start with the back panels.
Want an honest opinion from the author? They are almost the same! Yes, yes, according to Apple's idea, one model is conceived as gray, and the second as silver, this is clear, but only here we are not talking about the silver that glitters. So in the end it turns out that in fact we have a light gray and dark gray body. At the same time, the shade of the "apples" and the unfortunate stripes-antennas, which everyone has been tirelessly scolding for more than a year, is almost identical.
Well, now let's take a look at the "face" of the devices, and here there will be no accusations of the same - for Spay Gra y has a black front bezel and Silver has a white one. Due to this, the first looks more monolithic and solid, and on the silver one there are brightly "looming" sensors, a "peephole" of the front camera and Touch ID.
Whether it is good or bad, everyone will decide for himself - many, for example, find a white fingerprint scanner, framed around the perimeter with a silver edging, even more elegant than the “lost” black without an accent, while others, on the contrary, will like the invisibility of the latter.
However, we will talk a little below about the advantages and disadvantages of the white and black front panels - objective and not very -, but for now ...
Experiments of the "apple" giant
... let's talk about two more models of the iPhone 6S color scheme, which cannot be classified as classic - Gold - gold and Rose Gold - rose gold. However, you can't call them experimental either, after all, these colors have been in the lineup for several years and they are definitely popular.
And here, on the contrary, we will start our consideration from the front panel. And why? Yes, because, in general, the frontal surface of both Gold and Rose Gold practically does not differ from the Silver version, the only difference that is not immediately visible is the Touch ID edging - in Gold it casts gold, in Rose Gold - pink color. All!
But the rear panels are another matter - there is no need to look closely, it is immediately clear, "xy from xy". The silver model is light gray with dark gray stripes of antennas, Gold is golden, Rose Gold is pink, and the antennas of the latter two are white - by the way, the decision is also very subjective - someone will praise for interesting accents, and someone will scold - "Well, why did you highlight something that no one likes!"
Be that as it may, everything that concerns the back panels, by and large, is not so important for one simple reason - the iPhone 6S smartphone is not cheap, and therefore most users, trying to protect it as much as possible from scratches and drops, put on a case ... And, in addition, the range of accessories for i-smartphones is so great that it is very difficult to deny yourself the desire to refresh the device with some interesting case.
But it turns out, of course, unfairness - Apple tries, experimenting with the back of the case, and most of it is simply closed with an accessory. However, thank God that in despair, the "apple" giant did not decide to make smartphones completely gold or pink, because, in fact, the success of these experimental models lies in the correct dosage. Whatever to say, but working with such colors it is very difficult to find the optimal edge and get something graceful, and not vulgar - the "apple" giant did great!
Switch to the dark side ... if you want!
However, if you are one of those who do without covers, the color of the back panel is of great importance to you, as well as the "perception" of specks, dust particles and fingerprints in one shade or another. However, in this sense, all models can be divided into two groups - light ones, in which they will find themselves - silver, pink and gold and dark, in which gray will be lonely bored.
So what are the advantages of light-colored models? Right! Fingerprints on them are not as visible as on the dark one, incidentally, this applies to both the front and rear panels. Besides ... and no "besides", because here the pros end. Weed and dust particles will be visible on any light model, of course, to a much greater extent than on a dark one. This is especially true for the "face". Yes, Apple smartphones are all so solid and monolithic, but the dust will always find a place to hide, alas! She especially loves to "nest" at the edge of the display and around the Touch ID. And this is already an obvious problem. If a speck of dust gets clogged under a black fingerprint scanner, this will be much less noticeable than if this happens with any light model.
And it's also high time to remember about the sensors, which are very noticeable on the white panels. Yes, the eye-catching Touch ID is a subjective question, but very few people will find black "holes" above the display of light versions aesthetic. However, frankly speaking, they do not look such a thorn in the eye - if you do not look closely and find fault, all the elements of the white panel look pretty nice. On the other hand, how can you resist the temptation to find fault with Apple? By the way, we ask forgiveness from those who didn’t notice these sensors before, but now don’t know how to “unsee”, after a while they will again seem like sheer nonsense to you.
And finally, another problem with light models. Look closely at the display and its borders - you will see a narrow thin black border around the perimeter, which the black front panel “erases”, and as a result the picture literally lies on the surface, which visually feels much cooler.
Which iPhone color should you choose?
What's the bottom line? But what - if when buying an iPhone 6S you don't really care what color it will be, take Space Gray, get a practical gadget with a cool effect on the screen (although prints on it, recall, will be more noticeable). Want colors and variety - you can always buy a case.
On the other hand, what to do if you really want a white front panel? Then forget about practicality, you still have to choose with your soul. Note that the screen of the light versions is as good as that of the dark one, it just visually looks a little different. Well, don't be afraid of experimental colors - Apple's pink and gold smartphones look very dignified! Although we remind you about the white antenna stripes on them, if you are their ardent opponent, the gray and silver models are more suitable for you.
