Have you guys seen some of the sample shots from the S6 camera. Freaking amazing to be honest.

Not bad, can zoom in on the first pic and read the text written on the S6 that's on the table.

I really like the S6, it looks stunning and the sample shots look amazing.

Benchmarks can easily be manipulated, and Samsung is famous for this. That being said, the Exynos 7420 is a pretty impressive piece of silicon, and I hope that the benchmark figures translate into real-world performance. No use benching 70k in AnTuTu and lagging under TouchWiz (which has happened across a few generations of the S-line now).

Good article.

Seems that the S6 will be $50 more expensive than the iPhone in the US.

Now that is interesting, why would they make it more expensive? Seems Samsung are trying to change the perception of their phones to the consumer.

So the Edge will be $100 more than the S6. That's probably an extra R50pm on most contracts here. Big question is, besides being visually superior to the standard S6 and offering colour edge caller id, what other uses do those edges give us?

Dont under estimate the power of swag.

S6 memory benchmarks smashes the competition in the face.

Who said that DDR4 wouldn't make a difference?

Faan....impressive speeds with the DDR4. Sorry to be a party pooper, but I really fail to see what REAL advantage this has to the average phone user ? It's not like you are doing intensive gaming on your phone....or professional photo editing on your phone (not me anyway)

To see speeds like this obliterating the competition, would be amazing in a laptop computer where real work with real speeds are essential.....but in a cell phone ?

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but where will this speed over the competition make any real difference in the real world ?

People decrying the battery capacity- you guys do realise that the chipset is quite a bit more efficient than what's found in other devices, being the only one at 14nm? Battery capacity isn't the be all and end all of battery life. Also, the Note 4 is meant to have greater battery life than the Galaxy S-line, that's part of the appeal of a phablet.

If anything, it's good to see Samsung differentiating their devices. For too long was the Note-line a blown up Galaxy S* with a stylus.

Keen to see what the S6 Edge can do.

Everyone going

on about chipset as if the phone self charges.
Ultimately a phone with superior graphics and usability will consume more power and hence, you back where you started hoping for a phone with better battery power.

And that's why you'll consider a mid range phone, and I won't.

I want the best, the fastest. You want something to read your Whatsapp's on.

LOL! Well done, Samsung. You are so good at it.

Apple been doing that for years.

Yes, because it will be used more, not because it is less efficient. Faster charging times and wireless charging mean that it's easier to recharge, too.
