Samsung has launched the s6 and the s6 edge and is promising a new refined interface so let's take a closer look at the software on both of these phones so one thing you'll notice straightaway is that apps are now grouped by the company that makes them for example googles apps are all found in this folder and Microsoft's can all be found here indeed it's interesting to see that Microsoft has put some of its own apps on here so you get pre-loaded skype you also get access to one drive which is Microsoft's cloud storage service and OneNote which is Microsoft collaborative note-taking software so Samsung's sometimes confusing multi window app is still here but now you access it from the screen where you see your recent apps so you tap this icon here and there you go you can see two apps at once so there are loads and those are things you can do with Samsung's phones but one of the downsides days that sometimes the menus can feel a little bit overwhelming so to counter that Samsung has added more text so instead of just icons now throughout the phone you will find that there are actual text prompts as to what icons actually do finally one thing I want to call out is how you actually use the curved edges of the Essex edge because they are not just cosmetic so if you swipe in from the top here you get a list of your favorite contacts and they are color coded as well so it's good to see Samsung making an effort to keep things more simple let us know what you think and check out senior calm / mwc for much much more you
