1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,799
it's the smartphone everyone is talking about the Cinco phone V2 is now

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:12,120
available in an allnew stunning Sun

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:14,519
faded beige-ish white that

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:19,320
wait apparently this video is the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge I prepped the

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:25,849
wrong don't just stand there roll the intro I need a

6
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:33,840
minute Intel's new 750 series ssds

7
00:00:31,599 --> 00:00:39,320
utilize the NVMe standard providing speeds never seen before on consumer

8
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:46,199
storage drives click this spot on the table now to learn more so for my Galaxy

9
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:52,640
S6 review I had the option to go with the regular S6 or the Premium Edge model

10
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,920
with a curved display and I went with the edge and the short sort of spoiler

11
00:00:54,520 --> 00:01:00,760
alert version of this video is this the

12
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:06,320
edge is objectively worse to use than a normal flat display but I really really

13
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:10,799
like it anyway and not just because of the curved display there is a lot to

14
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:16,400
love about this device it features badass specs for great performance and

15
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:20,439
thanks in part to The Cutting Edge 14 nanometer manufacturing process Samsung

16
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:25,200
is using to make their CPU for it it manages better battery life than its

17
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:31,520
predecessor in spite of the brighter higher resolution screen and lower

18
00:01:27,479 --> 00:01:34,040
capacity battery and it does so in style

19
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:39,600
the Galaxy S6 Edge is the first Android phone since the HTC1 M7 that has really

20
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:43,439
stood out from the crowd and made me sit up and pay attention to it and while I

21
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:48,880
have to acknowledge that many of Samsung's Galaxy S Series fans are going

22
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:54,320
to be super upset that they forwent a removable battery and micr SD expansion

23
00:01:51,600 --> 00:02:01,000
to make a fashion statement other than the unfortunately fashionable these days

24
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:03,200
camera bump I do really love the look on

25
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,759
the back is the aforementioned camera bump a single LED flash and a heart rate

26
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,640
sensor on the top is the IR emitter nano SIM slot and a noise cancellation

27
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:18,040
microphone on the bottom is a grill for the unfortunately positioned speaker a 3

28
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:24,760
and2 mm Jack and a micro USB charging port on the sides are the thankfully

29
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:28,280
like really everyone else how hard is

30
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:32,000
this raised for easy operation without

31
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:35,560
looking non oppos in and satisfyingly

32
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,400
tactile volume and lock buttons that

33
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:43,760
thanks to the not fundamentally broken design only get pressed when I intend to

34
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:48,920
press them then around at the front are the 5 megapix selfie camera touch

35
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:52,120
sensitive back and multitasking buttons fingerprint reading home button which

36
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:57,480
freaking rocks by the way and works about as well as the one on the iPhone 6

37
00:02:54,040 --> 00:03:00,080
Bravo Samsung and the screen and let's

38
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:04,640
talk about that screen it is crazy e bananas bright like stupidly bright I

39
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:10,120
used the Adaptive auto brightness and found about 30% was good and while it's

40
00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:15,280
not super amazing as far as motion blur is concerned it's crazy sharp thanks to

41
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:19,120
its high contrast note that I didn't say thanks to its 1440p resolution even

42
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:24,440
though it has that too because that's basically irrelevant at 5.1 in and gone

43
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:29,280
are the days of the super saturated colors on Samsung's phones it's

44
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:33,400
beautiful with nothing overdone and nothing to complain about unless a

45
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:38,159
little bit of color shift and less than the DROID turbo I love so much by the

46
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,080
way really bothers you and unless you

47
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:45,120
don't like the curved Sid yeah let's talk about the edge part of the Galaxy

48
00:03:41,879 --> 00:03:48,799
S6 Edge shall we personally I love it

49
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,360
it's a super stupid gimmick with some

50
00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:55,840
significant drawbacks like unavoidable Reflections when watching videos or

51
00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,840
doing anything at all really lower than normal glass yields in manufacturing and

52
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:05,000
they've got a compensate at the edges for brightness so that they look uniform

53
00:04:03,239 --> 00:04:11,439
from the front and brighter from the sides for some reason that go completely

54
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:14,280
unanswered by any kind of usability

55
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:20,320
improvement but for some reason I love it anyway I touch so many fancy high-end

56
00:04:17,639 --> 00:04:25,199
gadgets that it takes something really special to capture my attention but from

57
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:29,880
the moment I first held it the Galaxy S6 Edge just made me want to admire it like

58
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:35,400
a stupid Magpie it's a stunningly beautiful device one that is undeniably

59
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:40,520
different from previous Samsung phones and from their competition and with the

60
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,880
curved edges Samsung has finally sold me

61
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,120
on that natural materials human touch or

62
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:50,039
whatever nonsense it was they were pitching back with the S3 it's smooth to

63
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:54,960
swipe onto it's smooth to swipe away from and some things I was concerned

64
00:04:52,440 --> 00:05:00,000
about like typing on letters that sit at the edges were total non-issue since

65
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:05,600
only about half of the curve has ual display area behind it anyway but enough

66
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:10,280
about that let's talk about the camera the software is pretty darn solid the

67
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:14,880
dedicated buttons for photo and video from one screen are a nice thing to see

68
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:21,520
and quick launching with a double tap of the home button is great auto mode

69
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:25,840
worked perfectly 98% of the time for me with lightning fast shutter response

70
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:29,759
autofocus Auto white balance and I mean well the mode is called Auto so I think

71
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:34,039
you get the picture and while the pro mode lacks any kind of shutter control

72
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:38,240
manual white balance and the full range of iso options available in Hardware it

73
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:43,280
did manage to be useful every once in a while when I wanted manual control of

74
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:49,560
focus it's on the hardware side though that the Galaxy S6 really shines the 120

75
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:52,240
FPS 720p slow-mo is pretty unexceptional

76
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:56,240
but the seamless and not overdone HDR implementation Optical image

77
00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:00,199
stabilization ability to use volume buttons as shutter buttons tracking

78
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,360
autofocus and surprise surprisingly good 4K recording I don't know what it is but

79
00:06:02,919 --> 00:06:07,880
with some of the other phones I've used with 4K video recording including the

80
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:13,759
droid turbo and xeria Z2 it just doesn't look very good make it an absolute joy

81
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,440
to use is it as good as the iPhone 6 and

82
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:20,840
6 Plus's camera well the in-depth analysis over at a non-tech would seem

83
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:26,639
to indicate that in most situations no no it is not but is that difference

84
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,440
noticeable to my eyes no can it finally

85
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:33,400
be said that for the first time ever an Android phone is as good or like really

86
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:38,080
close almost as good pretty much across the board yes it's a total pleasure to

87
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:42,120
use and in spite of some complaints I've seen online and from other reviewers I

88
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:46,199
didn't mind the selfie camera with the wideangle lens and leg free realtime

89
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:50,240
effects making it pretty fun to play with although I'm not really sure about

90
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:54,680
this beauty mode I mean if I add just a little bit of beauty to myself it

91
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:59,240
Smooths my skin and if I turn myself all the way up to eight out of eight it

92
00:06:56,599 --> 00:07:04,759
removes my pathetic patchy facial hair so that's just insulting Samsung which

93
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:10,560
leads us to what is usually the ouch part of any Samsung mobile device review

94
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,840
the heel to a Galaxy's Achilles or

95
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:17,479
whatever the only thing more Awkward than that sentence Samsung's TouchWiz

96
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:22,319
skin which shockingly is actually totally fine on the S6 it's still not

97
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:27,400
perfect it makes pretty much zero use of the edge with some clock or something

98
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:31,120
being pretty much it and it doesn't have the same visual appeal as the device

99
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,560
running it but I mean that was all I could really

100
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:40,520
complain about pre-loaded apps are very minimal split screen can be handy

101
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,960
performance is wicked lightning fast obnoxious stock sounds have been

102
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:48,639
replaced by Pleasant if a little generic sounding ones the old people

103
00:07:45,919 --> 00:07:53,360
optimization of Icon sizes and high contrast colors all over the place is

104
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:58,199
now gone from the non easy mode and there's even some good stuff I mean why

105
00:07:55,639 --> 00:08:02,400
doesn't everyone have a cog next to the volume adjustments for easy access to

106
00:08:00,159 --> 00:08:06,720
all the rest of the volume sliders and I love the easy configuration of quick

107
00:08:04,159 --> 00:08:10,919
toggles and the ability to schedule an SMS for someone within the stock

108
00:08:08,159 --> 00:08:14,680
messaging app like I said it's not perfect but man is it a big improvement

109
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,919
over the last time I used TouchWiz although that was admittedly in the S4

110
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:23,000
days and I guess that's my general conclusion for the phone itself it's not

111
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:26,520
perfect uh front-facing speakers might be an ugly design decision but they

112
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,879
really improveed the content consumption experience and while I'm bitching about

113
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,800
things why on Earth can't I reconfigure the multitask and back buttons without

114
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:41,560
rooting but in spite of those flaws the Galaxy S6 Edge is beautiful and wicked

115
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:45,160
fast so much that I almost gave up my

116
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:48,399
3900 milliamp droid turbo battery for it

117
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,760
but not quite speaking of things I can't

118
00:08:48,399 --> 00:08:55,720
give up on thanks for that segue Nick dbrand skins you folks have actually

119
00:08:52,959 --> 00:09:00,360
been looking at a dbrand skin for well however long this video was I'm guessing

120
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,839
about 9 Minutes 9 and a half half uh

121
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:05,640
they're awesome skins they've got them available for all types of devices

122
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:09,480
whether they're phones or game consoles or game controllers or whatever else the

123
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:13,160
case may be they're designed to be a perfect fit for your device and you guys

124
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,160
have been staring at an awful lot of macro footage of this one so that should

125
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,200
tell you pretty much all you need to know they come in many different looks

126
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:24,360
textures and colors for any style you want to show like carbon fiber which is

127
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,240
my personal favorite and why all of the devices that I have with dbrand skins

128
00:09:26,079 --> 00:09:31,839
tend to have that on them uh they've got like matte finishes metall looking stuff

129
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:35,519
leather true color they've even got a wood one that actually looks pretty darn

130
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:39,640
cool so I think that's pretty much all there is to say about that guys check

133
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:52,200
6 that was kicked around on the floor at CES and is still holding up just fine

134
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,200
and thanks to debrand for providing this device for the review and supporting the
