    I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.

  • As more and more reports are pouring in, I am forced to add up a few more details. Both S6 and S6 Edge offer some unique features unseen on Samsung devices before. Here is the brief list.

    Colors

    S6 will come in 4 color variants - Sapphire Black, Pearl White, Platinum Gold And Blue. S6 Edge will be available in Green instead of Blue.  Samsung has stated that it has used special color filaments to make them shimmering.

    Construction

    Both these new flagships are made of Glass and metal. Samsung has ditched it's trademark plastic completely.

    Edges

    The S6 Edge will have curved screen on both sides. This is done to make watching videos easier.

    People Panel

    The S6 Edge has a special "People " panel to assign your favourite contacts. You can also assign a specific color to a contact. When that contact calls you, the phone will emit light of that particular color.

    Finger print scanner

    The Fi get print scanner has a changed configuration. You now hold your finger on the button unlike swiping it in S5.

    Wireless charging

    Both devices support wireless charging and fast charging technology. Samsung says the device can be charge to 50% in 30 minutes. Any commercially available charging pad is compatible.

    Samsung Pay

    Samsung has introduced it's own mobile payment service - Samsung Pay. It can be used to make payments via credit cards at NFC terminals and POS.

    Microsoft Apps

    The MS Apps now come preloaded with Samsung devices. This is the beginning of a new association.
