The new design of the Samsung Galaxy S6 combines the beauty of glass and metal and according to them, this one won’t bend compared to the iPhone 6 Plus because the metal that was used in this smartphone is stronger than other flagship smartphones. The new camera performs really well especially at low-light and no, they’ve improved both the front and rear camera of the Samsung Galaxy S6.
One of the biggest features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was fast charging and at Samsung Galaxy S6, they’ve improved it and when you charged your Samsung Galaxy S6 for 10 minutes, you could use your Samsung Galaxy S6 for 4 hours. That’s pretty cool, right? Not only that, wireless charger is already built-in the Samsung Galaxy S6. But unfortunately, the battery is non-removable.
