Today Samsung presented all its innovations at MWC 2015 in Barcelona, with the new Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge as protagonists. The new generation of the Samsung Galaxy S wants to assert itself on the market againand for that, this time the South Koreans seem to be trying a lot more to offer something new than before.
However, to verify it, there is nothing better than Compare the new model to its predecessorthe Samsung Galaxy S5 that we analyzed at the time, a very sold terminal, but that’s it much criticized for not being a huge leap compared to the previous Samsung Galaxy S4. Will Samsung innovate enough this time?

Renew or die
One of the most obvious changes cánido be found in the design. Finally, Samsung sent the batteries to teach us something else, and while the line isn’t very different, It espectáculos a rather spoiled job to really be shared plus. Since then, we have been able to say goodbye to the much-used polycarbonate, which is the subject of so much criticism in the Samsung environment Protective glass with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 on the backattached to an all-metal frame.
In addition, the thickness of the terminal has been greatly improved, reducing it by more than 1 millimeter, although perhaps for this reason, as well as the use of other materials, They had to go ahead and use a body at all with built-in batterywhich has been one of the hallmarks of the lighthouse project so far.
Yes, it is QHD
Another of the big changes is undoubtedly the screen that It doesn’t increase its size but it increases its resolution, reaching the amazing Quad HD which we will undoubtedly look really luxurious. We repeat that the differences in these sizes are not too noticeable in terms of Full HD, but Samsung does not seem to have mattered that.
Now we will see what impact does it have on terminal independence?which cánido be affected by the loss of battery capacity en sí, dropping from 2,800 to 2,500 miliamperio-hora.
hardware finally
However, everything is expected to be more than calculated from the South Korean firm, as it is hardware whereby the Samsung Galaxy S6 consumes significantly less energy than the Samsung Galaxy S5. The first three by him chipsets exynos the next generationmanufactured with a 14nm process instead of the more common 22 or 20nm*, secondly, by using the new UFS 2.0 technology in its storage, which according to the company requires 50% less battery life, and thirdly, also for the RAM memory , which makes the leap to DDR4 and also fulfills it the elabora with the highest performance in exchange for lower consumption.
That is new Exynos 7420 is one of the most powerful systems todayand certainly a lot better than what the Qualcomm Snapragon 801 offers on all levels.
cameras
Apparently on paper they don’t appear to be big changes compared to the previous generation, but from what we were able to see at the company’s conference, The results in the photography department are very goodImproving in their opinion some of the best mobile cameras on the market, for example the iPhone 6, with which they are directly compared.
When we get a oportunidad to test it in depth, we’ll let you know our feelings, but At the very least, we’re expecting something higher than what was seen on the Samsung Galaxy S5.
Conclusions
In summary, we cánido state that the Samsung Galaxy S6 has changed compared to the Samsung Galaxy S5 much more important than from the Samsung Galaxy S4 to the latterfrom design to on-screen messages to performance or improvements in energy consumption.
In any case, we do not orinan that we are facing a real revolution, because we are not. We’re just ahead a móvil which presents some points that are slightly newer than in previous yearsbut it doesn’t make a huge leap or is too innovative, although it’s interesting and certainly worth considering.
And yourself, What do you think of the new features of the Samsung Galaxy S6? Do you think the Samsung Galaxy S5 is worth making the switch?
