entirely redefined is what Samsung's calling its 2015 lineup and judging by the looks of the s6 and the s6 edge materials used an overall feel we can now truly understand the meaning of project zero I'm Anton denied and this is our show for comparison of the galaxy s6 versus the galaxy s6 edge sure the company has kept its main design principles but the new phones announced today bring a breath of fresh air into samsung's portfolio the quote new standard for design craftsmanship and performance truly shows regardless if you're looking at the official images or holding the phones in your hands like we did gone are the days of plastic for the galaxy s6 and if we're allowed to say it we'll say it finally both of these phones are built entirely out of metal and glass whether they're prettier than last year's models is up to you but we definitely like the direction Samsung's heading in once you get past the initial pleasant surprise of the good looks for these two phones you'll bust out your chamois to wipe off the extreme insane amounts of fingerprints collected regardless of the color option you'll get used to them eventually from our short time with the galaxy s6 and the six edge we can tell you that they not only look but they also feel premium as well solid build good ergonomics great enhance feel overall however the Galaxy s6 is more awkward to hold than the s6 edge that's not a real surprise because of the double curved screen which tapers towards the edges for us personally the s6 was more comfortable to hold but then again if you want to be cool among your friends the s6 edge will turn you into that in terms of size and weight these two are very much alike give or take a millimeter or even less they're pretty much the same and strangely the s6 weighed six grams more than its edge sibling at 138 grams they're also both incredibly thin at six point eight and seven millimeters for the edge respectively Samsung also emphasized the durability for both models but we wouldn't advise you to drop a metal and glass phone oh by the way Gorilla Glass 4 we've already seen some scratches on demo units if you want to know more about each of these two devices individual he likes pecs and first impressions check out our separate hands-on videos will focus on similarities and differences here and the similarities far outweigh the differences screen size resolution PPI rating processor RAM storage cameras and even battery give or take 15 million powers are all the same shared specs across two devices that's also the case for most part of the software however the main difference which is also the main selling point and probably the reason you'll spend more cash on the s6 edge is the double edge display or yet to comprehend or imagine the use for going with the design but we're also yet to spend decent amount of time with the edge the edges are able to display specific information tailored for the curved part of the screen like customizable favorites standard thicker content notifications time date alarms and so on the rest of the OS as well as content just flows over the edges which is something you'll either find super cool or annoying if you're coming from an old edge or like its implementation chances are you prefer the s6 edge over the s6 we'll have to spend a lot more time with both of these devices to properly assess and test them and form a solid opinion for now we can tell you that we're glad to see Samsung improving in every aspect and not only raising the bar in specs but actually managing to beat both its own and some of its competitors standards in terms of design build and materials that's going to do it for a short comparison from the show floor if you like this video please give us a thumbs up and don't forget to follow PocketNow on social media as well as our main website where all the coverage comes together then anthony nod thank you very much for watching until the next video
