Beauty Meets Purpose
Carefully crafted from metal and glass, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge
blend purposeful design with powerful features. The Galaxy S6 edge,
particularly, shows unique and outstanding beauty while also providing a solid
grip and an immersive viewing experience with the world’s first curved display
on both sides. Its glass body, made from the toughest glass to date, Corning?
Gorilla Glass? 4, is available in an array of colorful jewel tones, including
White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, Blue Topaz and Green Emerald, which
elicit a unique visual texture as it reflects natural light. This timeless
design required first-of-its-kind glass crafting technology and unmatched
quality control, setting the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge apart from every other
mobile device on the market. The premium device aesthetics deliver true value
and are complemented by a totally new and lighter interface that greatly
enhances usability and functionality. A refined and fully optimized user
experience simplifies applications and offers features and settings in a more
intuitive way.
Vivid Images with a Fast, Bright Camera
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are equipped with an incredibly vivid,
bright and fast front and rear camera. The F1.9 lenses and high resolution
sensors on both front (5MP) and rear (16MP) cameras provide the most superior
image quality in a smartphone, even in the dark. In addition, Auto Real-time
High Dynamic Range (HDR), Smart Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and IR Detect
White Balance provide advanced light sensitivities and crisp camera solutions.
Furthermore, a new “Quick Launch” feature give users fast, direct access to the
camera from any screen in just 0.7 seconds* by simply double clicking the home
key button. These advanced camera functions enable users to capture their most
precious and personal moments in uncompromising quality, however and wherever
they want.

With fully embedded WPC and PMA certified wireless charging technology, the
Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are setting a new industry standard for universal
wireless charging. The devices work with any wireless pad available in the
market that supports WPC and PMA standards. They also sport incredibly fast
wired charging, 1.5 times faster than the Galaxy S5, providing about 4 hours of
usage after only 10 minutes of charging.*
Cutting-edge Core Technology
The thin (6.8 mm/7.0mm edge) and lightweight (138g /132g edge) Galaxy S6 and
Galaxy S6 edge integrate the most advanced, cutting-edge, Samsung core
technology available today. The world’s first 14nm mobile processor with 64-bit
platform, new LPDDR4 memory system and UFS 2.0 flash memory provides higher
performance and enhanced memory speed with lower power consumption. Moreover,
the world’s first 1440P/VP9 hardware based codec enables users to enjoy high
resolution streaming video while also using less power. In addition, the
5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED screen offers users the highest pixel density of
577ppi. Enhanced outdoor visibility with a brighter display (600cd/mm) lets
consumers experience content without compromise – anywhere, at any time.
Easy and Protected Mobile Payment
Samsung Pay, a new, easy-to-use mobile payment service that will be
compatible with more locations than any competing offering in a single
application, will launch on Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge in the United States
during the second half of this year. Protected by Samsung KNOX, fingerprint
scanning, and advanced tokenization, Samsung Pay works with both Near Field
Communication (NFC) and Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) technology to make it
device, merchant and card issuer agnostic.
Enhanced Security
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge are built on the
upgraded Samsung KNOX, end-to-end secure mobile platform, offering defense-grade
features for real-time protection from potential malicious attacks. Both of
these new devices are also ready for immediate enterprise adoption, with market
leading MDMs and KNOX enhancements enabled at launch to simplify and improve
mobile device management. Additionally, the Find My Mobile feature secures lost
devices and protects personal information through a number of services,
including the all new remotely controlled “Reactivation lock.” With an enhanced
touch-type fingerprint scanner, it also provides quick authentication and saves
encrypted data in secure device storage.
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge will be available globally starting from
April 10, 2015 with 32/64/128GB storage options available in White Pearl, Black
Sapphire, Gold Platinum, Blue Topaz (Galaxy S6 only) and Green Emerald (Galaxy
