Both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge use Samsung’s own Exynos 7420 chipset and the headline result is its multi-core performance is 56% faster than the Apple A8 chipset inside the iPhone 6. Noticeably it is also 15% faster than the Snapdragon 810 chipset inside almost all the S6 and S6 rivals, including the HTC One M9.
Aside from the curves, both the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have identical main screens and, as expected, they step up to native 2k panels from the 1080p resolution seen in the Galaxy S5. Those happy to squint at their screens may just about to make out the benefits here, but the real difference will come from the enhanced brightness and contrast levels both phones bring
What hasn’t changed is Samsung’s ongoing use of a physical home button. Onscreen controls are increasingly popular, but Samsung has good reasoning here since both the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge feature upgraded fingerprint sensors which work with a touch rather than needing a swipe. I’ll discuss the impact of this later.
- Galaxy S6 – 143.4 x 70.5 x 6.8 mm (5.64 x 2.77 x 0.27 in) and 138g (4.86 oz)
- S6 Edge – 142.1 x 70.1 x 7 mm (5.59 x 2.76 x 0.27 in) and 132g (4.65 oz)
- Galaxy S5 – 142 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm (5.59 x 2.85 x 0.32 in) and 145g (5.11 oz)
