      The stylish Galaxy S6 Edge (left) and the standard Galaxy S6 both are powered by Samsung’s latest 14nm technology, 64- bit, eight-core Exynos 7 processors, which use less power while providing higher performance. Android 5.0 Lollipop is running on both devices.

      Both the Galaxy S6 (shown here) and Galaxy S6 Edge versions include new LPDDR4 flash RAM and nonexpandable UFS 2.0 flash storage that is available in three capacities—32GB, 64GB and 128GB—to meet the storage needs of their users.

      The flashier and more sculptured Galaxy S6 Edge (shown here) features a bright display that wraps around both sides of the handset. Both the S6 and the S6 Edge use a 5.1-inch, quad HD Super AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 on both the front and rear covers.

      Unlike previous Galaxy S series models, the new S6 Edge (shown here) and S6 include integrated batteries. The S6 includes a 2,550mAh nonremovable battery, while the S6 Edge includes a 2,600mAh nonremovable battery.

      Both S6 models (S6 Edge shown here with wrap-around screen) include improved audio quality over the earlier S5 models, with a bottom-mounted speaker that provides sound that’s up to 1.5 times louder than the previous-generation audio system.

      Integrated in each S6 and S6 Edge smartphone is an all-new chassis (center) made from aircraft-grade aluminum and a Gorilla Glass 4 front (left) and rear cover for strength. Wireless charging and fast charging capabilities are also built in.

      Samsung uses a unique assembly process to give each S6 its color. The faceplate and backplate colors are actually created through the use of thin colored foil-like materials (shown here in rolls) that are cut and positioned on the backside of the glass on the front and rear of each phone.

      The new S6 models offer a 16-megapixel rear camera (on right) with Smart Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), a 1.9 f lens and automatic real-time High Dynamic Range (HDR) processing for improved low-light picture quality. Also included is an improved 5MP front camera for better selfies.
