What Is A Galaxy S6?
A line of Android-based smartphones known as the Samsung Galaxy S6 is created, distributed, and promoted by Samsung Electronics. The Samsung Galaxy S6 replaced the Galaxy S5, but it wasn’t released as a single model; rather, it came in two varieties, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, which were unveiled and marketed concurrently. The Edge’s main point of differentiation is its display, which wraps around the sides of the smartphone.
Unveiling The Galaxy S6
The S6 and S6 Edge represented a counter-utilitarian and fashion-focused turn for the Galaxy S series when they were revealed on March 1 at the Samsung Unpacked press conference at MWC Barcelona and made available on April 10. Samsung unveiled a third model, the Galaxy S6 Edge+, at the subsequent Samsung Unpacked event on August 13, 2015 (alongside the Galaxy Note 5). This model has a larger phablet-sized display (5.7 inches instead of 5.1 inches) and more memory (4 GB instead of 3 GB), but is devoid of an infrared transmitter for remote control.
Design Of The Galaxy S6
The Galaxy S6’s structure was revised to employ a metal unibody frame and glass backing rather than plastic, even though its general design still shares elements with earlier versions. In addition, Samsung touted the smartphone’s enhanced camera, simplified user interface, support for the main wireless charging standards, and support for a mobile payments platform that enables the device to mimic a credit card’s magnetic strip.
Reviews And Succesion
The majority of the reviews for the Galaxy S6 were good, with reviewers praising the smartphones’ improved build quality over earlier models as well as its screens, performance, cameras, and other enhancements. However, Samsung’s decision to make it impossible for users to add more storage using microSD cards or remove the battery, the lack of water resistance, and the S6 Edge’s failure to fully utilize its curved display to justify its higher initial price over the standard model were criticized as potentially alienating power users. The Samsung Galaxy S7 replaced it in March 2016.
Sales Of Galaxy S6
6 million Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge units were sold to consumers in its first month of sales, surpassing the amount of Galaxy S5 units sold in a comparable period of time but falling short of the record of 10 million units set by the Galaxy S4. Nevertheless, Samsung stated during its second quarter earnings report in July 2015 that it would be “adjusting” the price of the S6 and S6 Edge in response to competition from other vendors that has resulted in a decline in market share, a decrease in net profit, and a prediction of a “difficult business environment” for the second half of the year. Sales of the two devices, according to the business, had a “minimal” impact on its profitability. Even though it lagged behind the Note 5, the S6 Edge+ almost experienced the same fate.
