It’s not like person didn’t know it was coming, but nothing could prepare you for the new flagship phones from Samsung. Samsung unveiled not one but two flagship devices with a radical change in design and specification. Let’s dig a bit deeper to find out what has been improved since the Galaxy S5.
What’s new?
The truth is, Samsung went all out to please the masses this time around when it comes to design, but in doing so some persons might not be so happy towards the changes which are as follows:

  • Non removable battery
  • No Micro SD Card support
  • Full Metal Construction
  • Gorilla Glass 4 covers the front and back of the device

After the announcement of the S6 and S6 Edge I got the chance to speak with Kenneth Moore, Key Account Manager of Samsung Caribbean in the hopes to get some answers about the new Samsung Flagship phone. So here are 6 things you should know about the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge.

  1. Apart from an upgrade in RAM size to 3GB, better optics for the camera, and Non swipe finger print reader; the new premium design of the S6 with its metal construction glass covered back and front is what set it apart from previous iteration of the Galaxy S line.
  2. The Reason behind the drastic design change for the S6 line is based on market research and what most consumers wanted the new flagship to look and feel like.
  3. Due to Unibody design and slim built of the S6 it was impossible to make the device with a removable battery and keep it looking sleek and slim.
  4. The lack of Mirco SD card support in the S6 was slightly due to design constraint, but it was greatly influenced due to the fact that most consumers tend to use cloud storage these day. So to help alleviate the lack of Micro SD support Samsung has now made their base unit for the S6 a 32GB unit with a 64GB and 128GB option for those persons who need more space. Also the S6 comes preloaded with Microsoft OneDrive with 115GB of cloud storage.
  5. Most maybe wondering how durable a glass and metal phone might be. Well we have been assured that no matter its construction Samsung has done its extensive testing and the S6 should be just as durable as their previous flagship phones.
  6. The launch date for the S6 will be April 10 globally, and Jamaica will be seeing it around a week after the globally launch. Also for the first time ever Jamaica will have both variants of the S6 for purchase.

Final Thoughts
The launch date for us over here is somewhere around April 17 for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, until then we will have to sit and count the days until then. I can’t wait to get my hands on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge! Just twenty four days left until April 17… yes I’m keeping check!
