Samsung accustomed to the fact that in the first half of the year introduces the new version of its best smartphone in the second - leading model phabletu. This year the situation looks a little different because the stores have hit as many as two very similar to each other phablety high-end Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + and the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. What two new products have to offer?
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and Samsung Galaxy Note 5 are very similar and as soon as they see that both were designed by the same people who created the Samsung Galaxy S6 standard sizes. One can even say that the Galaxy Note 5 is an enlarged Samsung Galaxy S6 (with a few minor changes) and the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + - plus Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (which, moreover, indicated by its name). Parameters of both news also have almost the same as the standard varieties of the Galaxy S6. The only change is the screen size - both S6 edge + and Galaxy Note 5 have a display with a diagonal of 5.7 inches; Battery capacity - in both new phabletach is 3000 mAh; amount of memory - it was increased to 4 GB; S6 edge + and Galaxy Note 5 to have a little improved charge-inductive (wireless charging from zero to full takes about 2 hours). Cameras, processor, screen resolution and functionality remain unchanged, so the quality / performance / equipment capabilities are already known per se (of course, the Galaxy Note 5 is equipped with an additional feather). Despite the largersize of these phabletów designers decided not to put in their card slot micro-SD card, so the user has enough built-in memory (which is important in sales will not be a 128-gigabyte varieties of these handsets)
Building:
Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy Note 5 are built in the same style and with the same materials as their smaller prototypes. This means the return of great quality performance native Galaxy S6, which thanks to the use of large amounts of glass and metal. And we have nothing against it, because it is a successful combination, which are not missing classes. On the other hand, proponents of older phabletów series Note may be very surprised by this, because the Galaxy Note 5 is the first model of the family without a replaceable battery, without back cover and without slot for a micro-SD card. So the Galaxy Note 5 met the same fate that has become a share of the Galaxy S6. Is it good or bad? Statistics show that the majority of smartphone users, these shortcomings do not interfere, but undoubtedly unhappy with these changes, there is no shortage and we have the impression that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for a long time will enjoy popularity.As it is doing in practice? Very well, since both new models Samsung in the hand really comfortable - largely due to the fact that they are very thin and narrow frame. The Galaxy S6 edge + quickly fell in love with the curved edges of the screen, because although their impact on ergonomics is not extremely large, it is noticeable and developers Samsung have learned how to reject accidental touching the edges of the display underneath the hand. Interestingly, the Galaxy Note 5 are rounded and folded edges ... rear pane of glass, so you get the impression that the profile of this phone is even thinner than it really is, and here too the slight rounding conducive to comfortable use. Besides, the Galaxy Note 5 uses exactly how you can expect this item, which is like an overgrown Samsung Galaxy S6. A Galaxy S6 edge +? As with oversized Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. What a surprise;) phablety Both will be available in four colors: black, white, gold and silver (in our opinion, silver is definitely the nicest).
Software
Because of the hardware Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy 5 S6 edge + does not bring significant progress, new to each other to encourage changes in the software. Systems both smartphones are based on the same software as the Samsung Galaxy S6 system. This is good news, because this version of TouchWiz overlay is much better than the previous. Dorzucono to her a few new features and some of them later also hit the original.
Live Broadcasting
Live Broadcasting This function allows you to stream your smartphone camera recording to YouTube. Simply select the image quality, connect to YouTube and send the link to the ongoing transmission of selected friends, so that they see the same thing the user sees the phone. This delay is a few seconds, and with good quality connection to the network, this solution provides a really good results.
Improved digital stabilization
One of the most interesting camera features Samsung Galaxy S6 is the ability to interconnect optical and digital image stabilization. It is true that this option is only available when recording in Full HD resolution and when you turn digital stabilization of the staff gets a little narrower, but in some cases this is really handy add-on that provides almost perfectly stable image. With new phabletami there is a newer version of the algorithm behind digital stabilization, which will be activated as video recorded in front of the camera. The algorithm has also hit smaller 'Samsung Galaxy S6.
Extended function People Edge
People Edge is one of the most important additions to the system, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge uses in practice its rounded edges. It works in such a way that after the gesture of the right edge of the unit slide is a column of previously selected key contacts, which accelerates connect with them. The Galaxy S6 edge + function has been extended, although most of the news will only work if the person with whom you want to contact, also owns the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge +. When this condition is met, people with each other on their strips Edge People can send to each other all sorts of "provocations" and share additional things. Not a big deal, but I think a better use of the folded screen than none.
What software Galaxy Note 5?
We got used to the fact that in subsequent versions of the 'Samsung Galaxy Note were getting interesting functions in practice using their characteristic feather. This time, Samsung does not boasted too many larger additions (excluding the possibility of performing rapid handwritten notes on the screen turned off), and most of the changes we observed are related to the visual interface and pop-up menu that appears when ejecting the pen. So for more information on this subject we have to wait until the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 reaches us for longer tests.
Samsung Pay
The advent of new phabletów Samsung coincides with the beginning of the expansion of the Samsung Pay APPLE. It is not something new since it was announced a few months ago, but now it actually will be able to use it. Unless you live ... in Korea (Samsung Pay starts there Aug. 20), the US (available from September 28) or the UK (start at the end of the year). Samsung Pay allows your smartphone to replace credit cards. Just add your card to the wallet, slide your finger from the bottom edge of the screen to pop it out and activate, and then bring the phone to the terminal and authorize the transaction using the fingerprint scanner.Interestingly, Samsung Pay in Interestingly, Samsung Pay in models Samsung runs through not only the NFC but also MST, which cooperates not only with the conventional terminals proximity, but also the elderly, equipped with only a magnetic stripe (just touch the phone terminal close to the slot, wherein the card moves). Idea and realization look convincing, and now everything depends on banks because Samsung Pay does not start without their cooperation.
Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy 5 S6 edge +
Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy 5 edge + were sold already on August 21, but at first only on the most important markets in Asia and the USA. And later Europe We do not know when we will see in our stores Galaxy Note 5 (or even not clear whether he will go to them!), Because in our continent has priority Galaxy S6 edge +
Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy 5 S6 edge + - first impressions
Let's start with the theoretically more important (at least in the eyes of the owners of the Korean giant) news, namely the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + (if only we think that the name is oddly long?). It is a handset designed according to the principle that if something works, it is better in this excessively fumble. Galaxy family of smartphones S6 sell, smartphones with curved screen and phablety sell also sell. It's easy to calculate with the phablet with a folded screen in the style of Galaxy S6 Edge should succeed on the market. All the more so after a few months after it hit stores Samsung Galaxy S6 camera mounted in them, the processor and the screen is still tight gadget lead, so replacing these elements for the time being would not make much sense. So from a business standpoint edge Samsung Galaxy S6 + is a great product and probably for several months will be the best and most advanced Android phablet
Unfortunately, time is a product which is very difficult to admire. Samsung accustomed to the fact that its novelty in the second half of the year brings something interesting and interesting. And now we got the same phone as in March, only bigger. For this reason, it seems to us that it would be better if Samsung introduced in the future to sell their new smartphones and phablety at the same time, as does Apple, because it just makes more sense. A Galaxy Note 5? Here emotions are more, but these are mostly negative reactions of many years of proven formulas lovers Galaxy Note. Phablet has lost much of its character and uniqueness; It has been pushed aside by S6 edge +. On the one hand this is understandable, because the numbers in the tables do not lie and - as is often said - cash must be the same, but on the other very pity that one of the best working oxen in the history of smartphones is no longer the same as before. Sign of the times ... Check: it's not us, that we believe this phablet a bad product, because its parameters are still impressive, and the functionality of the pen is unrivaled, but it is hard to get rid of feelings that but we were waiting for something else, and that ended a certain era.
