Samsung has taken the lead by launching its most anticipated flagship phones on the right time. After the success of Galaxy S5, the world waits anxiously for its successor S6. Samsung Galaxy S6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge is all set to ho the stores with a bang.
Innovative and eye catching design
You will no longer see the cheap plastic cover in the upcoming Galaxy devices. There is a dual glass build enhanced by a metal frame. The sides of the Galaxy S6 are no longer straight, rather they are curved which is similar to a certain competitor. These changes have revitalized the devices in the best ever look.

The Samsung Galaxy Edge in particular is an interesting device; however, it is not as curved as its predecessor, the Galaxy Note Edge. The Galaxy S6 Edge is bended on both sides that give it a unique look.
No Removable battery and expandable memory
With the amazing display specs, Samsung has sacrificed two significant features, Removable battery and extendable internal memory option. It is rumored that there will be no micro SD card slot and removable battery option in the upcoming Galaxy S6 devices. Last year the sales and revenues of Samsung suffered a lot considering the competitors like Xiaomi and Apple are making remarkable profits. It was about time Samsung rebranded itself as a premium manufacturer and that’s exactly what they have done.

Decent Display

Hardware
It has been learnt that Samsung has dropped Qualcomm as the provider of chipsets for the upcoming Galaxy S6 Duo. Instead, they have used their own 14nm Exynos chips, more efficient and cooler than the previous. The internal storage options in your Galaxy S6 phones will be available in 32GB/64GB/128GB variants.

Opinion
Due to the success of Apple’s iPhone 6 and Chinese brands like Xiaomi, pressure was mounting hard on Samsung as it was visible in the previous quarters. With the launch of Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, Samsung will be back with a bang offering all that rival brands has to offer. Will they be able to grab a respectable market share and how will the market respond to the subtraction of the removable battery and memory slot.
