Samsung S6 Edge Price

Samsung India launched the smartphone on April 10, 2015. At that time, the 32GB level costed a hefty tag of Rs 58,900. But now, with the arrival of more new models, Samsung Galaxy S6 price in India has dropped significantly, to only around Rs 24,999. The 128GB model is a little bit tricky to find now.

Besides the S6 Edge, in May 2015, Samsung India also launched the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge plus.

Samsung S6 Edge Plus price in India when it was first launched was ‎₹57,900 for the 32GB version.

Samsung S6 Edge Design and Build

When the smartphone was first launched, there was nothing like it available in the market. The G Flex 2 from LG may be curved; however, you could only see it from certain angles. The Edge phone in India is different. Both sides of the smartphone are made of glass. That’s mean it would be more breakable. But with Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge price being that high, those who wanted to become some of the few first customers owning the phone would know that they would have to be careful, right?

It is sure not the sturdiest smartphone, but it sure feels premium.

Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus is bigger than the S6 Edge. But they share the same design with an all-metal build, fingerprint sensor, and a dual-edge display.

Samsung S6 Edge Display

The smartphone houses an AMOLED 5.2-inch display with amazing viewing angles. The colors are warm.

While the viewing angles are better thanks to the curves, some might concern that their images and videos also curve. However, it barely has any difference.

Some say that the smartphone’s edge display is a gimmick. In fact, there are a lot of things that developers could do with that display. Samsung’s Note Edge features were quite useful. You won’t realize this until you put the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and the Note Edge side to side.

The phone doesn’t have a separate panel. There is only one panel equipped with curved glass, resulting in reduced functionality. You can’t do much with the edge, except for making some quick calls. While the phone’s looks are enhanced by the Edge, it doesn’t offer much in terms of functionality.

When comparing the Galaxy S6 Edge with the Samsung S6 Edge Plus, the latter has a bigger display while the former’s display is sharper.

Samsung S6 Edge UI

The phone comes with some pre-installed apps like Microsoft’s OneDrive, WhatsApp, etc. You simply can’t remove these apps from your smartphone. Flipboard is activated once you swipe right. But it will take a second or two for Flipboard to boot up.

Adding a Theme Store is a great decision for Samsung as this means more themes will be coming in in the future, either from developers or users.

Samsung S6 Edge Performance

The smartphone comes with Exynos 7 Octa SoC which is great for handling performance. The S6 Edge will heat up, especially in summer.

The processor doesn’t seem to be throttled even when going through extended periods of gaming, at least for the first 15 minutes. After that, the throttling isn’t as transparent, compared to other smartphones. If you like to play games, especially high-end games, you will love this smartphone.

There is only one problem with the smartphone’s performance. It is that there are some apps kept on crashing. The issue lies in the RAM management, which is related to the phone’s software.

Samsung S6 Edge Camera

The phone comes with a 16Mp rear camera and a 5MP front camera. The rear camera is truly the device’s true hero.

The smartphone’s camera can quickly lock focus. Compared to the apple’s iPhone 6, the S6 Edge produces brighter images with better details. The white balance is good as well. When comparing the Xiaomi Mi4i and the Galaxy S6, there are similarities in terms of white balance algorithms.

The camera is capable of producing even better photos if a pro uses it as they can make use of the Pro Mode.

Samsung S6 Edge Battery

Samsung equips the smartphone with a 2,600 mAh battery. S6 Edge can handle day-to-day tasks. However, it couldn’t last an entire day with an hour of gaming combined with lots of texting, calling, and camera usage.

The smartphone can last more than seven hours under the Geekbench 3 test. It can last you a whole day if you only use it for simple daily tasks.

Another feature worth mentioning is the fast charging feature. The phone only needs under one hour to be completely charged. And 10 minutes of charging can last you for two hours. You will have lots of benefits, considered Samsung S6 price in India 2015.

Samsung S6 Edge Storage

With its design using metal and glass, Samsung gets rid of the SD card support and the removable back. If you don’t need a lot of space, the 32GB variant is probably enough for you. Otherwise, you can take a look at the 64GB variant. Samsung S6 Edge 64gb price in India is now only Rs 38,999 on Flipkart.

Samsung S6 Edge display price in India has dropped significantly since it has already been a few years after its launch. So through this review, fans of Samsung in India who don’t have enough money to buy the latest flagship phones like the S10 Plus can take a look at this device.
