<div>Samsung showcased its brand new flagship smartphone the Galaxy S6 along with the innovative S6 Edge with dual curved display at MWC 2015. The company announced the two smartphones on Monday (22 March) for the Indian market and customers can pre-order the device from today before it hits the stores on the 10th of April.<br /><br />The Samsung India R&D team is said to have a major role in the design and innovation of the new phones. The engineers of the team have also been involved in the application of the modem, camera, internet browser, personalised themes and the download booster technologies. Asim Warsi, Vice President of Marketing, also said “The new range of Galaxy S6 smartphones will be made in India eventually.” This is a big move by Samsung as flagship smartphones by the company have always been made and shipped from the company’s home ground, South Korea. Samsung already has two manufacturing facilities and three R&D centers in India. <br /><br />The main focus this time has been on the all new design of the flagships. The S6 and the S6 Edge are actually good looking devices and the new design and materials are definitely a nice touch, but the DNA of the device feels old as it gives off a distinguished Samsung look. The front and back now have a glass finish which, being glossy, make the smartphones slippery although the metal frame does give it a solid feel. The S6 Edge is more interesting out of the two and definitely something to look out for as the dual-edge display brings in a whole new way of how you interact with your smartphone. The slight curve on the edges makes swiping more fluid and natural. Samsung also has a bunch of features and apps dedicated from the edges. There have been sacrifices as well as you don’t get a removable back or an SD card slot, something which was popular among flagship Samsung devices.<br /> <br />Both the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge feature a 5.1-inch Quad-HD (2560x1440) Super AMOLED display and Samsung’s own octa-core Exynos processor since they weren’t happy with the heating issues on the Snapdragon 810 processor. The smartphones also feature upgraded cameras with 16MP rear snapper with OIS and a f/1.9 lens and a front 5MP snapper with the same f/1.9 lens with real-time HDR.<br /><br />The Galaxy S6 will be available for Rs. 49,900 for the 32GB model, Rs. 55,900 for the 64GB model, and Rs. 61,900 for the 128GB model. The Galaxy S6 Edge is priced at Rs. 58,900 for the 32GB model, Rs. 64,900 for the 64GB model, and Rs. 70,900 for the 128GB model. There is a special offer for the customers pre-ordering any of the devices where they get free one-time replacement on the display in case it is damaged. This is the same protection plan was announced by HTC for its new flagship smartphone, One M9, in the US.<br /><br /><img width="650" vspace="1" hspace="1" height="360" align="middle" src="/image/image_gallery?uuid=a7b1c9f4-1e0e-4feb-bd48-cf964e70ce29&groupId=36166&t=1427114933925" alt="" /><br /> </div>
