Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
Samsung, the largest phone manufacturer in the world, and with the previous Galaxy S5 no record sales anymore. This unit added little to the S4. For the Galaxy S6 Samsung has refreshed the entire unit in the hope that customers now massively upgrade.
This design is new and that you see with especially at the back; no longer a wobbly plastic cover or leatherette but glass and metal (sensitive to fingerprints). The battery is not replaceable, a small revolution for South Korea. “We waited until the battery was good enough,” was the dry comment. Samsung also built a receiver to your phone wirelessly with charging.
The software has been properly “sanitized” though Samsung sticks to his own appearance for Android. Besides the usual Google services delivers Microsoft Skype, OneNote and OneDrive to join the S6.
Also new:. Samsung Pay – a payment system that we in Europe for the time being will not have to deal with. It is an answer to Apple Pay – during the presentation was named Apple often anyway; and not in a positive way. This is Samsung’s way to promise that the picture quality of the S6 that transcends the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus – especially in light sensitivity. “Our devices also do not bend,” said a Samsung executive was referring to ‘bend gate.

HTC does well with the One series. The Taiwanese company suffered a loss of time but requires time since a black figures. Hence, there was little change to the model that earned the most money. HTC One M9 similar to the predecessor M7 and M8. HTC compares itself with the design of a Porsche 911; you also recognize in different models. The M9 is on the side a different color. In addition, the camera has been improved: the not so well-received ‘Ultrapixel’ technology is relegated to the selfie camera and on the back is an image sensor with 20 megapixels.
