BARCELONA (AP) Samsung takes the success of the model Note Edge a step further and launches Galaxy S6 Edge, with a screen that continued along both phone long sides.
Already several days before the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona was going really started, there appeared images of Samsung’s new flagship phone. About leaks were willed by the company or not, is not known, but Sunday could Samsung officially launch its new top model: Galaxy S6.
It also comes in a version with double curved screen, under the name Galaxy S6 Edge.
And this is a model that gets noticed because a number of innovations:
** phone has Gorilla glass 4 – it strongest glass on the market today, except sapphire glass (which is extremely expensive).
** The screen has a resolution of 577 dpi, which is far higher than previous models.
** New processor and flash memory makes the phone especially responsive and fast.
** Wireless charging and charging which is half of the iPhone 6.
** Camera aperture of 1.9 – that is very bright, even in dark environments.
VG’ve got a few minutes to try the new phone, and first impressions are immediately that this is a phone that is very fast and with an impressive camera.
– A Northug-jerk
Also product specialist in Tek.no Espen Irwing Swing, is impressed.
– It is obvious that Samsung put much energy to retake the throne as king of smart phones. They do not skimp on some things. This is a design that turns heads, superior materials and the latest processor technology. Some better smartphone now I have a hard time believing that you find, he said.

– Based on the specifications I would still say that the Samsung Galaxy S6 makes a full blown Northug-jerk. There is now a weed competitors behind, he said.
However, he is a little surprised that Samsung has now dropped to make the phone waterproof.
– It was a big point for them earlier. It is not possible to replace the battery or insert a new memory card. In return phone equipped with a very large memory, ala iPhone 6, he said.
– Trades most about design
Samsung Galaxy S6 will come with memory of 32 , 64 and 128 Gigabyte.
– What is the usefulness of a screen that is curved around the long sides?
– It is minimal. You can add some features on the page that you can pull in, but it had not been difficult to do that too on a flat screen. This is mostly about design.
According to Stig-Ove Lango in Samsung phones Norway will be offered for sale on April 11 and cost from 6590 million for S6 and 7990 crowns for S6 Edge.
Samsung launched Sunday evening also a new payment system Samsung Pay, where you can either pay via NFC technology or by a magnetic strip on the phone that connects to the cards you choose to register.
Samsung Pay will be rolled out this summer in selected markets.
Ironically, the press was under mobile launch prompted to connect to the internet via network cables that were laid out on the seats. Promoter was probably afraid that the wireless network would not cope surfing via mobile for the more than 500 guests in the audience.
VG will come back with a detailed test of the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge .
