Samsung launches new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge handsets

Commenting on the launch of the new Samsung S6 and S6 Edge at Mobile World Congress, Rob Kerr, mobiles expert at Uswitch.com, says:

“Samsung has finally decided that plastic isn’t fantastic, with a welcomed move to a full-metal body flagship phone.

“These waters are already tried and tested routes by the likes of HTC and Apple, where a cheaper looking handset just doesn’t cut it anymore in the premium mobile phone world.

“Samsung dipped its toes into the ‘unconventional looking phone pool’ last year with the curved screen Note Edge, and here it is again in the S6 Edge. Only this time, the dual curved display just seems too gimmicky, too niche, to really be a crowd pleaser.

“The Note Edge will likely be relegated to the heap with other ‘too cool for skool handsets’, such as the Amazon Fire phone and LG Flex. They have a following, but not a huge bite of the apple.

“But other features of the S6 Edge will still appease loyal Galaxy owners – such as the super-fast charging and better camera – all of which are also to be found in the standard S6, offering its customers more choice.

“These two new S6s have caught up with the current trends, and it looks like Samsung may now start to set some of its own.”
