MKBHD just released a

.

If you watch it now you'll miss Samsung's press conference though, and it seems pretty badass so far. Might even be Apple-tier.

The verge just released theirs as well...

btw, I subscribed to MKBHD's channel, but those videos haven't popped up on my subscription list yet...

You know... since the S6 resembles a iPhone I think imma pass...

14nm SoC.

2560x1440 resolution on a 5.1" screen.

Wireless charging built in by default.

I feel like they skimped on the battery with that display, the m9 is going to last so much longer, the wireless charging is very nice though

That battery is uncomfortably small, but we'll have to wait and see what the real life usage is like.

SHOTS FIRED!

 

How long before Unbox Therapy to release a video where he bends it...

yep specs aren't everything

you love that gif a lot don't you

It works in all scenarios. And I can't find my other gif that I would use because I'm having a old person moment and just can't remember what it was.

So far looks good, I'm just worried about the 8 core and touchwiz.

I think its the snapdragon 810 just like the m9

[LAwLz]

Woho! "Professional mode" in the camera (shoot RAW and manual controls). Thank you Google for the new Camera2 APIs.

20 faster and 35% more efficient than the Note 4's CPU

DDR4 RAM

UFS 2.0 (this perhaps?)

"Fastest charging battery in the industry". 10 minutes to get a charge that will last 4 hours of everyday use. 0-100% takes half as long as for the iPhone 6.

Nope, this is an Exynos chip. Snapdragon 810 is not 14nm.

from what Marques said they cut down on touchwiz, but still not very good, still ugly and heavy

Dat loss of SD expansion.

Wondering what's the future of the note now...

oh ok, im surprised about the DDR4, does it have microsd though?

They have dropped the replaceable battery which sucks. Don't know about the microSD yet.

[Castdeath97]

For the people who haven't seen it yet

 

[jollander]

Why does Samsung even release the S6 Edge? They obviously don't believe in it, since they also release a regular S6. They're basically saying "here's the new revolutionary shit, but if you dont like it we also have the regular shit" - which is giving up before even trying.

[dfsdfgfkjsefoiqzemnd]

All that hype about fast and wireless charging ...

 

Should have just put in a decent battery to begin with.

[XYrZbest]

that S6 video demonstration fail though

i hear they dropped micro sd as well...

[Victorious Secret]

Samsung thinks its okay to not have a replaceable battery because it charges fast and charges wirelessly. 

 

GOD DAMNIT SAMSUNG. Thats not what we really want or is the issue. A busted battery now means a trip to the service centre (which you don't have all over the place). Ugh. 

 

Apple gets away with it because they have retail presence nearly everywhere. A battery replacement there takes 10 minutes and you're gone. But Samsung repairs now? Either deal with Samsung directly OR your carrier, neither of which have same day replacements. 

OR deal with a 3rd party. 

What a backwards step.
