The news; size, battery and RAM
Although many of us expected that this Galaxy S6 edge + would offer us great news compared to its little brother, the Galaxy S6 edge, this has not been the case and we can only see changes in three aspects; the size, the battery and the RAM.
Starting with the size we find This new Galaxy S6 edge + has grown from 5.1 inches to 5.7 inches of screen, until it is at the height of the Note family terminals. The resolution, on the other hand, has not changed, since it is still 2560x 1440 pixels, which however causes the density of pixels per inch to have dropped to 518, by the 577 offered by the original S6 screen.
This time RAM memory goes up to 4 GB to perfectly complement the Exynos 7 processor, manufactured by Samsung itself. Finally, its battery grows to 3.000 mAh, which will surely mean another hour of autonomy, something that was undoubtedly very necessary and that many users had demanded intensively.
The battery has grown mainly because it was necessary to incorporate a larger screen, and because the space inside the phone is greater as it has grown in size.
The new features of curved edges
When we reviewed the S6 edge we already said that despite the beauty of the screen's curved edges, they had very little utility. Samsung seems to have thought something similar or perhaps has decided to listen to its users and in this S6 edge + the functionalities of the curved edges are greater.
In the first place, the contact system baptized with the name of Quick Access and each time one of the chosen contacts the screen will light up with the chosen color.
The possibility to take a quick look at the latest applications used, as well as other options that we should know and try more calmly.
The things that Samsung has missed
This Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + we could say that it follows the line started with its little brother in which the battery was no longer removable or the microSD card was erased from the map. These two things remain unchanged and we will not be able to remove the battery from the terminal or expand the storage space of the terminal. They were two of the things that many of us wish would change but unfortunately everything remains as it was.
Finally, we have to say that the camera is still exactly the same as the Galaxy S6 edge, which for many may be something strange, but the camera is one of the aspects in which the Galaxy S6 already have very little room for improvement. .
Price and Availability
As confirmed by Samsung This new Galaxy S6 edge + will be available in the Spanish market and many more during the month of September, although at the moment an exact date for availability has not been given. We also do not know the price of this terminal, which will depend on the internal storage with which we want to acquire it.
As soon as we know both the exact price of the new Galaxy S6 edge + and its launch date we will inform you.
