The minimum amount of built-in memory increased: Samsung Galaxy S6 32 GB is a model with the smallest possible amount of drive that has been replaced by version 16 GB. The amount of RAM is 3 GB.

Smartphone runs on the basis newest Android Lollipop in combination with an updated and recycled touchwiz shell.

Galaxy S6 has a built-in dactyloscopic sensor and infrared port, supports wireless charging.

Cons and disadvantages

Communicator does not get opportunities to expand memory. However, the lack of a microSD card slot is compensated by free access to cloud storage provided by Samsung.

By the minuses of Samsung Galaxy S6, a battery cannot be replaced due to the monoblock tightness.

Not critical, but still disadvantage - the absence of waterproofing, which was available in the previous model.

Differences from similar models

Unlike most similar Android devices and its own predecessor S5, Samsung Galaxy S6 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon, but its own eight-cadet chipset exynos 7420. The smartphone is highlighted by wide wireless capabilities, the function of quick charging, support for the innovative protection system and branded payment service Samsung Pay.. As already mentioned, the characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S6 can be attributed a screen with the highest pixel density and an improved camera with optical stabilization.

Smartphone Samsung Galaxy S6 is an excellent balance of design and functicionality, which will have to taste fans of the products of the South Korean manufacturer.

At one time, Galaxy S6 made a lot of noise, and even what to hide, from the moment of its release, let it take a lot of time, but now it is also considered by many as an option for buying. The S6 was implemented all the best that was in the past developments of the manufacturer and in general on the market mobile technology. Finally, it was decided to abandon plastic in favor of more premium materials, which had a positive impact on the perception of the gadget and its design.

The hull has become thinner and easy, received a non-removable battery. But not all changes went advantage - now there is no moisture protection, and besides, we were deprived of a slot under the microSD card. But as soon as you start to get acquainted with the gadget closer, you just forget about small shortcomings against the background of numerous advantages on which we will focus more in our SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 review.

Galaxy S6 equipment

The device is supplied in white packaging, which does not greatly exceed its dimensions. On her back side, you can familiarize yourself with the main characteristics, and printing it we get access to the charger, MicroUSB cable, wired headphones With a convenient control unit, clip and documentation.

Design

According to its design, the smartphone is practically no different from the version of EDGE. The difference is only that there is a standard flat display here, and the rest of the design is very similar to the producer develops.

Even if you cover the brand logo on the front panel, the device will still be recognizable. From one flagship to another, the key points of design are moving, among which the mechanical button "home" and the design of the shatter of the speaker. It would seem - these are elements that do not attract special attention to themselves, but precisely from such trifles is a recognizable design of gadgets.

Compared with previous generations, the design has become careful. Materials galaxy enclosures S6 completely coincide with EDGE. The front and rear panel covers the protective glass Gorilla Glass 4 generation. Strengthens the design stylish and durable frame made from aviation aluminum.

Smartphone received a monolithic case, so that independent replacement Battery can be forgotten. But it is rather plus, because with such an assembly, the likelihood of the backlash and the lid of the lid is eliminated, each detail sits perfectly in its place.

The case received rounded edges, due to which it lies well in hand. When for the first time you take it in hand, it seems that the body is very slippery, because the main material manufacturing is glass. But thanks to good ergonomics, the probability of damping it will be extremely small.

Above the screen installed standard set Sensors, conversational speaker and frontal.

Under it - the mechanical key home and a pair of sensory sides from it.

Left - Volume adjustment swing.

Right - Display Power Management Button and Nanosim Tray.

The top face is installed microphone and an IR port for managing household appliances.

From the bottom - 3.5 mm connector for the headset, the port of the microUSB format and the external speaker.

On the back side, we see the module of the main chamber with a resolution of 16 megapixel. She sticks out over the case. What a little is not practical. To the right of it is installed flash and sensor of saturation, as well as heartbeat. Closer to the center - the company's logo.

Display

Overview Galaxy S6 DUOS goes to the consideration of the screen, which is built using Super AMOLED technology with a diagonal of 5.1-inch with a resolution of 2560x1440 points. Such a combination gives 577 dpi dots, which distinguishes the display against the background of competitors. Of course, with such a high density, no individual pixels will not notice. The picture is rich, contrast and well detailed, work with a single pleasure screen.

The color rendition will vary greatly depending on user settings, four modes are available:

Adaptive;
Movie;
Photo;
Base.

The last two give out the most realistic colors, but if you like when they are slightly oversaturated, you should set any of the first two.

Performance Galaxy S6.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Characteristics are built on the Exynos 7420 processor designed on the manufacturer's capacities. It is based on 8 cores with a frequency of 2.1 GHz, which complements the MALI-T760MP8 graphics accelerator. RAM - 3 GB, built-in - 32 GB, of which 24 GB remains for the needs of the user. Galaxy S6 32GB Characteristics are relevant even now, it will easily pull even the latest novelties on high graphics games. No one could not load the device to fully load the device so that it is blind.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 in Synthetics:

There was no shortcomings, now games, photos and video files have a sufficiently large size, in connection with which 24 GB may be not enough, and there is no possibility to expand the amount of memory card here. At least a bit of this deficiency is compensated by providing 100 free gigabytes in the ONEDRIVE cloud storage, but still it is not that.

SAMSUNG G920F Galaxy S6 32GB black Overview It showed that the external speaker sounds clean and has a good volume in volume, except that there is a little lack of low frequencies. Headphones included in the device's package are perfect for everyday use, they are not only comfortable, but also sounds good. With a large probability, they will replace your old headset.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 PULSETER

Near the sensor from the main chamber module there is a sensor intended for measuring cardiac rhythm. To use it, the branded app S Health was pre-installed, where you can track your pulse and stress level. It works smartly, but there is a doubt about the accuracy of measurements. In addition to tracking indicators of physical activity, such as running or cycling, you can find out the level of oxygen in the blood, to make information on the amount of liquid drilled per day. The application will help you follow your health and adhere to an active lifestyle.

Autonomous work

The Galaxy S6 64GB Active Overview in Russian revealed that with a battery capacity, everything is bad - 2550 mAh despite the fact that the performance has increased markedly. You can count on the day of autonomy, if you include the Internet only as needed, set a small brightness and unload resource-intensive applications from memory when you stop using them. Autonomy is a vulnerable to the device.

Over the hour of the game in the asphalt 8, the battery loses 22% of the charge, and when reproducing videos per 100% brightness and 70% volume per hour leaves 16%. In standby mode, with one active SIM card, only 1% of the charge in a few hours is spent. Approximately a week, the gadget sits completely, if it is not touched at all.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Duos Gold 64GB Review showed that in difficult situations when there is no possibility in the near future to connect the smartphone to the outlet, you can go to one of two energy saving modes: Standard or Extreme. The first barely noticeably affects autonomy, and the second improves it by approximately 150%, but in this case the screen goes into black and white mode.

For a complete charging from scratch to a hundred leaves 1 hour and 35 minutes. Thus, in 10 minutes you can charge the battery for 4 hours of operation. It saves in situations when it's time to leave the house and there is no time to wait. Charging time from a computer is an order of magnitude longer - about 5 hours. Supports the possibility of wireless charging.

Interface

Overview samsung phone Galaxy S6 goes to an interface that from the box is built on Android version 5.0, but you can immediately update through the air to more recent versions. It's simple and convenient that you can see in the screenshots below.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 cameras

Samsung Galaxy S6 camera review pleasantly surprises, because at the time of release in the phone was installed one of the best cameras. The manufacturer managed to prove that the main thing is not the number of megapixels, because most competitors had 20 MP modules, but in the quality of the pictures, they are noticeably inferior.

If you wish, you can use advanced mode where you can specify your shooting parameters, but in most cases there is no need. With automatic settings, the optimal algorithm is selected depending on the current shooting conditions. A real find became night survey at which you can get pictures with decent quality and detail. Of course, noises are present, it has not yet been possible to get rid of them on night frames yet, but their number is minimal.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Overview in Russian showed that with simpler shooting conditions you can get excellent pictures. If you shoot without HDR, then small parts will be poorly visible in deep shadows. When activating this option, the detailing and saturation of colors in the shadows is improved.

With the quality of shooting video, everything is also good. You can save a record in FullHD format at 60 fps, QHD, in accordance with the resolution of the display, and UHD (3840x2160). The last two formats are limited in time - up to 5 minutes of shooting, which is done in order to save user memory.

The frontier has a resolution of 5 megapixel and removes worthy, especially if you remember about the year of release. The module has a wide viewing angle, you can use it for shooting selfie and for a video message.

Output

So we completed the review Samsung Galaxy C6, which greatly increased compared with the predecessor. Improvement on all fronts - design, ergonomics, display and sort of filling, worked on everything, with the exception of the battery. Although it grabs it for the day of average use.

Your Evaluation of the Smartphone:

Image model on the highest possible platform

Smartphones flagship sAMSUNG series Galaxy S in a special view do not need. Along with food Apple smartphones Samsung traditionally causes a lively interest among users of any age, gender and religion. In the new season, the Korean company prepared a real surprise for his fans. You can call it a rethinking of values \u200b\u200bor reboot, who like it, but the fact remains: after many years of boring the same type, Samsung designers have finally decided on real changes. For the first time in many years, it is safe to say that Samsung has shown a truly stylish, modern and attractive design. In principle, a variant with two glass panels and a metal side frame is not so fresh, over the past few years we have seen it in the iPhone, and in Sony Xperia, and even in the image models of the Huawei P series, but for sAMSUNG smartphones He is really in a novelty. And considering the experience of past years, when one plastic in Korean smartphones was replaced by another, such a sharp change can even be called a breakthrough.

However, not only unexpected changes in design and attractive appearance managed to be pleasantly surprised by the participants of the MWC 2015 exhibition during their first acquaintance with the novelties of the Samsung Mobile Family. Those who managed to get acquainted with the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 EDGE hardware filling were also amazed by an unprecedented level of productivity, which demonstrated these powerful mobile devices. Thanks to the new SOC, Samsung's new flagships confidently praised the top step of the honorable honorable honor and, apparently, be dumped from there soon.

It did not cost, of course, without disappointment. Fans of the Korean brand Always warmed the soul thought that the party chosen by them in the confrontation of Samsung and Apple is the maximum openness to change. Memory Card Connector and Removable accumulator battery - These are the increditative values \u200b\u200bthat have outweigh the scales for them in comparison with the closed policies, "things in themselves", which, from the very beginning, cultivated "apple" smartphones. Now the last bastions collapsed: according to these characteristics, new Koreans devices are indistinguishable and from the iPhone, and from other modern smartphones whose creators reoriented faster than others. In the new Samsung flags, it is not found no connector to install a memory card, nor, especially, a removable battery is all the remnants of the past. The most ridiculous thing that happened is exactly in that significant moment when the newest, the fifth version of Android finally made it possible to users to install applications on the memory card, and it is on Android 5.0 that newly based on new samsung devices. Once again, the developers came out an annoying bluff, but most of her users would most likely forget very quickly, as if nothing was - the fans would catch and wait. In memory there will be only another pretty and very fast smartphone, one of many.

Equipment

Samsung Galaxy S6 comes on sale in a small box of thick cardboard with multiple jumpers inside. A cover from a thinner cardboard is stretched from above.

The kit consists of a miniature but powerful charger (2 A output current), a Micro-USB connecting cable, as well as headphone headset with a flat wire and rubber incluses of exactly the same form as an Apple Earpods headphones.

Appearance and ease of use

Samsung Galaxy S6 is not too big, even in something elegant smartphone. Although, probably, we are simply accustomed to the five-dimensional size of the screen as the standard, it has become the norm, and we no longer consider such dimensions for the pocket mobile device Something out of a series of outgoing. A thin profile, strongly rounded corners, a small mass - the device is quite comfortable in the hand of any size and is suitable in the pocket of any clothes. However, due to the smooth metal frame and glass surfaces, Galaxy S6 turned out to be sufficiently slippery, with such a device you need to be neat and watch it, so that it does not slip out of the hands and did not break up the floor.

Materials are chosen with taste: both panels, front and rear, performed from the tempered glass Corning Gorilla Glass 4, and the side frame passing throughout the perimeter of the case is made of metal. Thank God, this time the creators did not paint the metal, cover it with plastic or something else to hide, as it happened with and the series Galaxy A. The frame itself has a rather thick profile, noble surface of the surface, and of course it is she in the greatest The degree gives the appearance of the severity device and high costs. Thanks to her pleasant coolness and harsh metal gloss, the smartphone will look good with any dear costume and in any expensive atmosphere. Perhaps, if the case was wholely metallic, it would not look so catchy and expressively as the current combination of glass and metal. But in any case, we will not know this - after all, make the Koreans our S6 entirely from the metal, it would be a copy of the iPhone 6, and this is unacceptable for obvious reasons.

The assembly of complaints does not cause, Samsung with this is all right. Refusing a removable cover, the developers have resorted to a common solution for placing cards in side slots: now it is necessary to press the hilt paper with a clip to remove the container with the SIM card. Salazks are made of metal, calculated on the Nano-SIM standard map, and another slot - for a memory card - not to find here. By the way, specialists from the site ifixit put a smartphone of only four points (out of ten possible) for the convenience of disassembly and, accordingly, maintainability (at S6 edge, the situation is even worse: he got three points).

The housing of the smartphone is thin enough, the camera module records noticeably from the rear wall. In this matter, the new Samsung smartphones turned out to be at no better than the notorious Apple iPhone. 6/6 Plus, which only lazy lazy bone for such an option to place the camera module. Not far from the lens is a block consisting of a single LED flash and a heart rate sensor.

The front part of the smartphone is fully covered with a protective glass Gorilla Glass 4. To the left of the dynamics grid, you can see the LED indicator alerts, it big point Shines with various colors, informing the status of charging and incoming events. It is curious that the performance of the indicator is adjustable in the Sound Settings section.

At the bottom under the screen, the oval mechanical keys and two touch buttons on the sides of it are used. Touch buttons have bright white backlight. The fingerprint scanner is integrated into the central mechanical key, and a few words should be said about it. Finally, Samsung understood why they could not competently implement this in previous models useful tool, a long well-implemented apple iPhone. In Galaxy S5, it accounted for one hand to keep the device hard, and the other slowly and tediously carry out a finger across the scanner, which was annoyed. As a result, the owners quickly turned off the scanner because of ineffectiveness, although the convenience of unlocking the smartphone without having to memorize digital codes and zigzag passes are great, it was necessary to sue correctly. Finally, having won some time, Koreans decided to accurately adopt the idea of \u200b\u200bthe scanner laid in the iPhone initially. Now and in the Galaxy S6, the button reads the imprint simultaneously by pressing, unlocking the screen. It is not necessary to carry out your finger, you can keep your hand as an angle, everything is done with the help of one hand and in one press - everything is exactly as in the iPhone. Finally, the scanner in Samsung smartphones has become comfortable to use. It is a pity that the Korean developers needed so much time.

The process of reading the imprint and installation of the lock is identical to that in the iPhone: there is no longer any need to drag your finger along the entire button panel, sufficiently point touch. Naturally, you can add multiple fingers to recognize, and for reliability you will be offered to come up with also the code. Recognition occurs clearly, and if you correctly take the smartphone in your hands, then just one touch to unlock the screen, which is very convenient.

Mechanical volume keys Volume and locking are located on opposite side edges and are also made of metal. It should be noted that for the first time Samsung key Volume control is not implemented not in the form of a single two-position rocker, but represents two separate buttons (like other well-known phones ...). The buttons are small, fiercely discharged outside the housing, the course of spring and responsive, to control elements in Samsung devices are traditionally no complaints.

Micro-USB 2.0 connector and the audio output on the headphones with a diameter of 3.5 mm (under minijack) installed on the same, lower end. Micro-USB supports the connection of external devices and flash drives in OTG mode.

At the top end, right in the middle is lonely a small dark infrared port window, an employee, as before, to emulate the remote control to control various household appliances, from televisions to music centers. A familiar program called Smart Remote has been pre-installed in the smartphone with a variety of finished settings for any type of technology, and you can use the current program.

The smartphone does not have protection against dust and moisture, not found on the housing and fastening for the strap. But the device is promised support for wireless charging compatible with WPC 1.1 standards (4.6 W output) and PMA 1.0 (4.2 W).

Samsung Galaxy S6 is produced in several bright colors of the case, and the developers for tradition gave these colors their own romantic names. In addition to the white (white pearls) and black (black sapphire), the color of the color, the buyer also offers "Dazzling Platinum" and "Blue Topaz", and here by many green option (noble emerald) will be available only for modifying Galaxy S6 EDGE.

Screen

The Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone is equipped with a Super AMOLED touch screen protected by modern Gorilla Glass 4. The physical dimensions of the display are 63 × 113 mm, a diagonal is 5.1 inches. The screen resolution at points is 2560 × 1440 (the density of points 577 PPI), the indicator is more than worthy.

The frame around the screen is quite thin: the distance from the edge of the case to the edge of the screen from the sides is about 3 mm, and from above and below - approximately 15 mm. At this place, it is worth noting that since the side faces of the corps are straight and almost flat, then when tapping, the fingers climb on the screen is stronger than that of smartphones with highly bevented faces, like the same. As a result, unwanted random clicks on the screen were recorded.

The display brightness has manual and automatic adjustment, the latter is based on the operation of the lighting sensor. There is also an approximation sensor that blocks the screen when making a smartphone to the ear. Multitouch technology allows you to handle 10 simultaneous touches.

Detailed examination with the use of measuring instruments was conducted by the editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections of Alexey Kudryavtsev. We present his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface resistant to the appearance of scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-glare screen properties are no worse than the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, we give a photo on which the white surface is reflected in the screens (left - Nexus 7, on the right - Samsung Galaxy S6, then they can be distinguished by size):

SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 screen is a little bit (brightness of photographs 105 against 101 Nexus 7) and does not have a pronounced shade. Note that reflection from bright objects on the Samsung Galaxy S6 screen has a pale bluish halo. Two reflected objects in the Samsung Galaxy S6 screen is very weak, it suggests that there is no air interval between the screen layers. Due to the smaller number of boundaries (type of glass-air) with highly distinguished refractive ratios, the screens without air gap looks better in conditions of strong exterior illumination, but their repair in the event of a cracked exterior glass costs much more expensive, since it has to change the entire screen. On the outer surface of the SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 screen, there is a special oleophobic (fat-repellent) coating (very effective, noticeably better than Nexus 7), so traces from fingers are removed significantly easier, and appear at a lower speed than in the case of conventional glass.

When the white field is outputing the entire screen and with manual control, its maximum value was 355 cd / m², minimum - 1.9 kD / m². It is also necessary to take into account the fact that in this case the smaller the white area on the screen, the brighter, that is, the actual maximum brightness of white areas will be almost always higher than the specified value. As a result, readability in the afternoon in the sun should be at a fairly good level (it was not introduced to check the capabilities). The reduced brightness level without problems allows the use of the device even in complete darkness. It works automatic brightness adjustment over the illumination sensor (it is located to the left of the slot of the front loudspeaker). In the work of this function, you can make adjustments by moving the settings slider. Next, for three conditions, we give the screen brightness values \u200b\u200bfor the three values \u200b\u200bof this setting - for 0%, 50% and 100%. In full dark in automatic mode, the brightness decreases to 1.9, 8.5 and 18 cd / m², respectively (first - too dark, the rest is normal), in conditions lit by artificial light light (approximately 400 lux), the brightness is set to 65, 140 and 210 cd / m² (dark - just right - just right, which corresponds to a given correction), in a brightly illuminated environment (corresponds to the lighting clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 LCs or a little more) - rises to 355 cd / m² regardless of the position of the slider. This value is the maximum with manual adjustment. In general, the result of the operation of the automatic brightness adjustment function corresponds to the expected. At any level of brightness there is a significant modulation with a frequency of 237 Hz. Figure below shows the dependences of the brightness (vertical axis) from time to time (horizontal axis) for several brightness setting values:

It can be seen that on the maximum and brightness of the brightness of the modulation amplitude is not very large, as a result, there is no visible flicker. However, with a decrease in brightness (somewhere below 75%), modulation appears with a large relative amplitude. Therefore, the presence of such modulation can already be seen in the test for the presence of a stroboscopic effect or simply with the quick eye movement. Depending on individual sensitivity, such flicker may cause increased fatigue.

This screen uses the Super Amoled matrix - an active matrix on organic LEDs. The full color image is created using subpixels of three colors - red (R), green (G) and blue (B), but green subpixels are twice as much as possible as RGBG. This is confirmed by a microfotography fragment:

For comparison, you can familiarize yourself with the micrographic gallery of the screens used in mobile technology.

On the fragment above, you can count 4 green subpixels, 2 red (4 halves) and 2 blue (1 whole and 4 quarters), while repeating these fragments, you can lay out the entire screen without breaking and overlap. For such matrices, Samsung introduced the name Pentile RGBG. Screen resolution The manufacturer believes on green subpixels, in two others it will be two times lower. The location and shape of the subpixels in this embodiment is close to the case of the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen and some other newer devices from Samsung and not only with AMOLED screens. This version of Pentile RGBG is better than an old with red squares, rectangles of blue and strips of green subpixels. Nevertheless, some irregularities of contrasting borders and other artifacts are still present. However, due to very high permission, they minimally affect image quality.

The screen is characterized by magnificary viewing angles, however, white color, even on small angles, alternately acquires a light blue and green and pinkish shade, but black color is just black under any corners. So black that the contrast parameter in this case is not applicable. With a perpendicular look, the uniformity of the white field is excellent, but if you look closely, then at the level of pixel groups you can see the easy non-uniformity of the color tone. For comparison, we give the pictures on which Samsung Galaxy S6 screens (profile Movie Amoled.) And the second comparison member is displayed the same images, while the brightness of the screens is initially installed about 200 kD / m², and the color balance on the camera is forcibly switched to 6500 K. White field:

Note the excellent uniformity of the brightness and color tone of the white field. And test picture (profile Main):

The color rendition is good, color in moderation saturated, the color balance of the screens varies slightly. Photography above received after selecting profile Main In the screen settings, all of them are four:

Profile Adaptive display It is characterized by some automatic adjustment under the type of displayed image and the surrounding conditions, which is obtained when the two remaining profiles are selected below.

Movie Amoled.:

Saturation and color contrast are noticeably increased.

Photo AMOLED.:

Saturation is still as high, but the color contrast is closer to the norm. Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen (profile Movie Amoled.). White field:

The brightness at an angle in both screens has decreased noticeably (in order to avoid a strong darkening, the shutter speed is increased in comparison with previous photos), but in the case of Samsung, the decline of brightness is much less expressed. As a result, with formally the same brightness screen samsung Galaxy S6 visually looks much brighter (in comparison with LCD screens), since the mobile device screen often has to be viewed at least at a low angle. And test picture:

It can be seen that the colors did not change much of both screens and the brightness at Samsung at an angle is noticeably higher. Switching the status of the matrix elements is performed almost instantly, but a step of approximately 17 ms width may be present on the switch front (which corresponds to the screen update frequency in 59 Hz). For example, it looks like a brightness dependence on time when moving from black to white and back:

In some conditions, the presence of such a step can lead to loops stretching for moving objects. However, dynamic scenes in films on screens OLED They are distinguished by high definition and even some "dongy" movements.

For profiles Photo AMOLED. and Main Built according to 32 points with an equal interval in the numerical value of a shade of a gray gamma curve did not reveal any drool in light, nor in the shadows, and the indicator of the approximating power function is 2.22, which is insignificantly higher than the standard value of 2.2, while the real gamma -Korivny deviates little from power dependence (in the signatures in brackets shows an indicator of the approximating power function and the determination coefficient):

For profile Movie Amoled. Gamma curve has a slightly expressed S-shaped character, which increases the visible contrast of the image, but in the shadows, the distinguishability of shades is preserved.

Recall that in the case of OLED screens, the brightness of the image fragments is dynamically changing in accordance with the nature of the displayed image - decreases for bright in general images. As a result, the obtained dependence of brightness from the shade (gamma curve) is most likely not a little corresponding to the gamma curve of the static image, since the measurements were carried out at sequential output Shades of gray almost full screen.

Color coverage in the case of profile Movie Amoled. Very wide, it almost covers Adobe RGB coverage:

When choosing a profile Photo AMOLED. Coverage slightly decreases:

When choosing a profile Main Coverage is compressed as accuracy to the borders of the SRGB:

No correction spectra components are very well divided:

In case of profile Main With the maximum correction, the components of the colors are already noticeably mixed up to each other:

Note that on screens with a wide color coverage without the corresponding color correction of ordinary images optimized for SRGB devices, look unnaturally saturated. Hence the recommendation - in most cases, watch movies, photos and everything is better in choosing a profile Mainand only if the photo is made on installing Adobe RGB, it makes sense to switch the profile on Photo AMOLED.. Profile Movie Amoled.Despite the name, the least suitable for watching movies and in general, anything.

Balance of shades on a gray scale good. Color temperature in profile Movie Amoled. Above 6500 K, in the two remaining - close to 6500 K, while on the meaning of the gray scale this parameter changes not very strongly, which improves the visual perception of the balance of colors. The deviation from the spectrum of an absolutely black body (ΔE) for the most part of the gray scale remains below 10 units, which is considered a good indicator for the consumer device, but the fluctuations of this parameter are already Verse:

(The darkest areas of the gray scale in most cases can not be considered, since the balance of colors does not matter, and the measurement error of the color characteristics on the low brightness is large.)

Let's summarize. The screen has a sufficiently high maximum brightness and has good anti-glare properties, so the device is most likely, without any problems, you can enjoy outdoors even a summer sunny day. In complete dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. It is permissible to use mode with automatic adjustment of brightness, working quite adequately. A very good oleophobic coating must be attributed to the advantages of the screen, as well as close to SRGB color coverage and an acceptable color balance (when choosing the appropriate profiles). At the same time we remind about the general advantages of OLED screens: true black color (if nothing is reflected in the screen), excellent uniformity of the white field, noticeably less than that of the LCD, the drop in the brightness of the image at a look at the corner. The disadvantages include modulating screen brightness. In users who are particularly sensitive to flicker, due to this, increased fatigue may occur. Nevertheless, in general, the screen quality is very high.

Sound

SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 sound is very worthy. The smartphone makes a sufficiently loud sound, rich in the entire frequency spectrum, including low frequencies. Sounds the smartphone is really nice, at the maximum volume level, the sound is not distorted, it does not racitate, there is no complaints. The dynamics lattice is removed to the lower end, so the sound does not overlap when the smartphone lies on the solid surface. In the conversational dynamics, the voice of a familiar interlocutor, the timbre and intonation remain recognizable, the conversation is quite comfortable.

With earphones, the smartphone also sounds at the level of modern flagships, to play the melodies, the company player is used standard with the maximum number of settings. All sound effects are combined with technology called SoundAlive - True, some of them are available only with connected headphones. The same applies to the sound optimization function. For manual settings Equalizer with preset values, as well as separate controllers for bass and high frequencies are available.

FM radio in the standard configuration of the smartphone has not been traditionally found, and the voice recorder is available. For voice recorder besides standard mode There are still specific "interviews" and "voice note" - all this is already familiar with the previous models of the series. Telephone conversations from the Line Smartphone does not know how.

Camera

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is equipped with two digital camera modules with a resolution of 16 and 5 megapions. The front camera here is equipped with a 5 megapixel module with a diaphragm F / 1.9, video removes with maximum resolution QHD (2560 × 1440). For popular amusements in the style of "Selfie" there is a group selfie mode here, and even a virtual survey of a specific object is possible to create a multi-directional type of item - in this case, most likely, its own head. You can make a shooting on the front camera without touching the screen using the gesture of the prostrate palm or voice command. It is also possible to make its own self-portrait touching the finger to the heart rate sensor located on the back of the smartphone.

The main 16 megapixel chamber has a diaphragm F / 1.9, a tracking autofocus, optical stabilization (OIS) and a LED flash, if necessary, operating as a flashlight. Quick Start Cameras are possible with dual pressing on the center hardware key under the screen.

The settings menu is completely redone, now there is no matrix from interactive square cells, there is one button to select shooting modes, and the remaining settings are combined into a long scroll, dropping as needed. In addition to the usual automatic mode and manual settings mode, you can also select the panoramic, selective focus mode and the same mode of the so-called virtual shooting to create a multidirectional type of objects. By the way, they also removed the specific modes of the steady and slow video filming, so that in the settings of the camera itself not to find them (there is only a permit).

The video camera Samsung Galaxy S6 can shoot in any modern permissions up to 4k (UHD). As always, a very curious shooting option with a speed of 60 fps, and the resolution is 1920 × 1080 (Full HD). With any options, the camera copes perfectly, no complaints about the quality of the resulting modification. The quality of the video can be judged by test rollers.

Roller №1 (30 MB, 1920 × 1080 @ 60 FPS)
Roller # 2 (43 MB, 3840 × 2160 @ 30 FPS)
Roller # 3 (26 MB, 2560 × 1440 @ 30 fps)

	Good sharpness of the frame, but it falls a little to the edges.
	Even in the shadows sharpness is not bad.
	Excellent sharpness on distant plans.
	The color of the sky and the buildings are quite smooth. Light noises can be seen from the edges of the frame.
	The camera does not badly work out the details in the shadows.
	Sharping on wires is practically absent.
	Well worked out branches of trees.
	The rooms of all cars in the frame are well distinguishable.
	And on a rather dark frame, good sharpness and work of the noise are visible.
	With room lighting and with a flash, the text has been worked well.
	Without an outbreak, the camera copes no worse.
	Macro shot with room lighting is not bad camera.

We also tested the camera on the laboratory stand on our technique.

Assessing the flagship chamber, it is impossible not to compare it with the rest. And barely starting to do with it with its help, I already want to say that it is this camera from now on to be considered the best. Of course, there is definitely a spoonful of the tar, but the camera is really awesome. To desire even more from the smartphone camera, you need to have a good imagination or not at all have a picture of the photo. It is difficult to find face even to trifles. Shadows are not noisy, the details are well practiced, there are small defects, but it is not a mirror chamber and not even compact is a smartphone. You can see for a long time to look for the absence of the "soul" or "pleasantness" in the pictures, but it is objective to obey especially and nothing.

Now about the spoonful of the tar. In all pictures there is a blur zone on the right. Most likely, this is the problem of the non-applied camera module, but specifically our instance, but doubt shed. To have such a defect, of course, unworthy of the flagship. The camera is really good, it is hardly better, but the problem is still substantial. In general, at least check the camera when buying.

In the laboratory test, Samsung Galaxy S6 confidently bypass its main competitor - iPhone 6. And if in the center of the frame, their results differ slightly, then the edge of Galaxy S6 gives a very worthy result. And on this result, it is quite seriously superior (and a little -). In the center of the frame, all the latest Samsung flagships show themselves approximately the same, but the dependence of the resolution on the illumination at the Galaxy S6 is the most "smooth and beautiful."

If you forget about the blur zone on the right side of the frame, which we are ready to write off the sample, the camera can be called excellent. It is well suited for documentary and artistic shooting.

From the new "chips" in the chamber there is a shooting mode of two frames with a focus on long and close plans, with the possibility of subsequent switching between them. Similar we recently seen in Xiaomi Mi Note.

An 3D image shooting mode is also present, which can be "rotated". It is created by wiring a smartphone around the object. Again, we have recently seen similar to Jiayu S3.

Both modes are very doubtful in practical terms, so they can only claim the title of funny "chips".

Telephone part and communication

The smartphone works standard in modern 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks, and also has support for the fourth-generation LTE CAT6 networks at the highest possible speed of up to 300 Mbps. In practice, a SIM card of the domestic operator MTS smartphone confidently recognizes and works with 4G networks.

The remaining network capabilities at the smartphone are also at the height: In stock Support for NFC technology, Bluetooth 4.1 Supports A2DP, LE profiles, APT-X, ANT +. The Wi-Fi 802.11n / AC module, HT80 MIMO (2 × 2) (up to 620 Mbps) supports operation in both frequency bands (2.4 and 5 GHz) and wi-Fi technology Direct, you can organize a wireless access point through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels. It is possible to connect external devices to the USB port in OTG mode.

The navigation module works both with GPS and with the domestic GLONASS system, and also sees Chinese Beidou satellites (BDS). There is no complaints to the navigation module, cold start happens within a minute and faster. Also the device is equipped with a sensor magnetic fieldOn the basis of which the magnetic compass of navigation programs is functioning.

Spontaneous reboots / shutdowns during testing were not observed, but the surprises occurred. So, after another reboot in normal mode, the machine screen suddenly stopped responding to any touch - only the mechanical hardware buttons of the smartphone worked. It was possible to exit the position only through a forced reboot using a long-term retention of the power buttons and reduce the volume, otherwise it was impossible to use the device.

Layout and location of the keys are standard for Samsung smartphones: language switching is carried out as not customary by pressing the special button with the image of the globe, and the horizontal longitudinal gesture along the space is not the most convenient option. In the standard layout there is a dedicated top row with numbers. For SWYPE lovers, a method of failure to enter into the letter to the letter is provided. The telephone application supports Smart Dial, that is, during the dialing of the phone number immediately, the search first letters in contacts are immediately performed.

OS and Software

Samsung Galaxy S6 immediately works in fresh, fifth on account android version OS, but its own interface in the style of Material Design here is not to see, it completely replaced the traditional design installed on top of the brand shell TouchWiz. The new version of TouchWiz has undergone small changes, but in general everything remains familiar to previous smartphones of this manufacturer. The only thing that was adopted from the most notable innovations of the fifth version of the Android OS, these are intercible notification panels that pop up over working applications, conveniently brushed towards the side gesture.

Supported work with gestures, but the number of them is reduced to a comfortable and logical minimum. In place there remained energy-saving modes, privacy mode, the ability to work simultaneously in two windows and the BRIEFING newsbar, called by the side wave of the left - analogue of HTC BlinkFeed. The sidebar of the virtual buttons is cleaned, there are no possibilities for reducing the work area of \u200b\u200bthe screen to control the fingers of one hand. New Android 5.0, the ability to turn on the guest mode, is removed here and replaced by branded private regime. The notification panel also has nothing to do with the Android 5.0 branded panel, everything remained here in the old way: the panel is not distributed in two stages, the list of quick access icons is scrolled by horizontal wave, the branded buttons are built here to quickly connect to other devices and s finder.

The cardiac rhythm sensor, located on the back side next to the camera, is managed by the same brand program for global health tracking entitled S Health. Infrared port is serviced special program Emulation of remote controls called Smart Remote. In general, additional programs are not so much installed, most of them are useful, but surprised the branded block microsoft programs (ONEDRIVE, ONENOTE, SKYPE).

Performance

The Samsung Galaxy S6 hardware platform is based on the most powerful single-grip system (SOC) of Samsung Exynos 7420, produced by the standards of the 14-nanometer technological process. The configuration of this single-gryl system includes two clusters of four cores: ARM Cortex-A57 with a frequency of 2.1 GHz and ARM Cortex-A53 with a frequency of 1.5 GHz. As a GPU, a powerful MALI T760 video scorer is used. RAM in the device is provided as 3 GB (LPDDR4). The internal memory is implemented on the drives that meet the UFS 2.0 specification. The volume of flash memory is 32, 64 or 128 GB without the possibility of expansion due to memory cards. In the case of a model with a minimum amount of user, about 25 GB from nominally designated 32 GB are originally available. In addition, the device supports the connection mode of external devices to the USB port (USB Host, USB OTG) - an external flash drive can be connected through an OTG adapter.

According to the test results, the SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 hardware platform has demonstrated extremely high results, sweating with the podium of the honor of all without exception of previous recordsmen, including Meizu MX4 and Samsung Galaxy Note. 4, who held the first places for a long time in the Antutu test.

As a result, Samsung gave the world of the next record holder in power - the reference smartphone, which will be equal to the entire season, try to catch up and match. The device is extremely productive, the possibilities laid in it will still be enough to fulfill any tasks, including for the most demanding games.

Testing B. recent versions Complex tests Antutu and Geekbench 3:

All the results obtained by us when testing the smartphone in the most recent versions of popular benchmarks, we are conveniently reduced to the table. The table usually adds several other devices from various segments, also tested on similar recent versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the resulting dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the same comparison, it is impossible to submit results from different versions Benchmarks, therefore, many decent and actual models remain "behind the scenes" - due to the fact that they at one time passed the "obstacle course" on previous versions of test programs.

Testing a graphic subsystem in 3DMark game tests, GFXBenchmark, and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones now it is possible to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the resolution of the rendering is fixed to 720p and is turned off by VSYNC (due to which the speed can rise above 60 FPS).

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for the benchmarks to estimate the speed of the JavaScript engine, it is necessary to always make a discount on the fact that they are significantly dependent on the browser in them, in which the comparison can be truly correct only on the same OS and browsers, and such an opportunity is available when testing not always. In the case of Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

Video playback

To test "omnivities" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special capabilities, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats that constitute the bulk of the content available on the content network. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have the support of hardware decoding of videos at the chip level, since to process modern options due to the processor nuclei are most often impossible. Also, it is not necessary to wait from the mobile device of decoding everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are reduced to a single table.

According to the test results, the subject did not turn out to be equipped with all the necessary decoders, which are needed to fully play most of the most common multimedia files. To successfully play their playback, you will have to resort to the help of a third-party player - for example, MX Player. True, it is necessary to change the settings and manually set additional custom codecs, because now this player does not officially support AC3 sound format.

¹ The sound in MX Video Player was played only after installing an alternative user audio codec; the regular player does not have such a setting

Testing the features of the video output spent Alexey Kudryavtsev.

MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort We are in this smartphone Did not find it, so I had to restrict ourselves to testing the display of the video files on the screen itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with one division per frame with an arrow and a rectangle (see "Methods for testing the playback devices and displaying the video signal. Version 1 (for mobile devices) 720/24p

oK not

Note: If in both columns Uniformity and Pass Green estimates are exhibited, it means that, most likely, when viewing the films of artifacts caused by uneven alternation and passage of frames, or will not be seen at all, or their number and notice will not affect the preservation of viewing. Red marks indicate possible problems associated with playing relevant files.

By the output criterion, the quality of the video files on the device itself is good, since frames (or frames of frames) can be output with more or less uniform intervals and without frames (with the exception of files from 60 frame / s - one frame is always skipped For the frequency of screen update in 59 Hz). When playing video files with a resolution of 1920 to 1080 (1080p) on the smartphone screen, the image of the video file is displayed exactly along the wide screen boundary. The clarity of the picture is high, but impermanent, because from interpolation to the screen resolution is not anywhere. However, it is possible for the sake of the experiment to switch to one to one to one pixels, the interpolation will not be, but the features of Pentile - the vertical world through the pixel will be in the mesh, and the horizontal is a slightly greenish. This is on the test worlds described by the artifacts on real frames are absent. The brightness range displayed on the screen actually corresponds to the standard range 16-235 - in the shadows of the entire pair of shades merged with black color, but all gradations are displayed in the lights.

Battery life

The capacity of the built-in non-removable battery installed in the Samsung Galaxy S6 is far from record on modern standards - only 2550 mAh. However, even despite the most powerful platform and a large five-year-old screen, the smartphone deserved himself in terms of duration autonomous work, showing excellent autonomy in most standard use scenarios. It should be noted that to save energy in the settings of the device, there are two corporate energy saving modes: normal and extreme. The maximum energy saving mode significantly reduces the level of energy consumption due to the disconnection of the secondary and preserving the vital functions at the moment, as well as for visual effect, Translating the image on the screen in black and white.

Uninterrupted reading in the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) with a minimum comfortable level of brightness (the brightness was set per 100 kD / m²) lasted until the battery discharge is about 20 hours. With unlimited viewing of high quality video (720p) with the same brightness level through the Wi-Fi home network, the device lasted 12 hours. In 3D-games mode, the device worked for 4 hours. The smartphone supports fast charging technology, so the device is charging very quickly. Time full charge It is only about 1.5 hours, and according to the conclusions of the developers, only 10 minutes of charging allow you to charge a smartphone for subsequent four-hour use.

Outcome

With the release of its next flagship, Samsung did not make a noticeable breakthrough and technological revolution, but issued the market so honed and licked product that it was not necessary to complain about this time. The smartphone seems to seek to please every one thoughtful practicality. Not a single unnecessary detail, everything is empty, harshly and trimmed, the ticks are suspended opposite the literally of each item from the sheet of wishes of the average user. The dimensions are not great and not small, they are comfortable, like the mass of the device. The quality of selected materials and the assembly do not cause complaints, the metal surfaces were finally, appeared in all their glory, were not painted and not hidden. All specifications - maximum, sensors - any to choose from. Fingerprint Scanner, IR Port, Heart Rate Sensor, Wireless Charging - All Additional Flagship Source In stock. It doesn't come to mind any lack of protection against water, but recently, the user stir around the need for such functionality began to fade, and the Koreans immediately crossed out. The smartphone is almost perfect, but it is now not available to everyone. The price of the new flagship Samsung is installed such that causes the pale even burned gadgetomanians. Not everyone is a new smartphone for 50 thousand rubles on the pocket, but also here Samsung in trend: Everything, without exception, the players of Higher Echelon gradually, but confidently, joint efforts, are all higher and higher than this bar. So we still have to be surprised in the new season, but for the meantime, only admirement of such innovations, it is passable to new prices.

Often we are on business trips and do not want to overpay for communication? You do not need to buy a new SIM card with unknown colleagues and native number, now you can perform / receive calls on Wi-Fi for the price of calls in Russia for both you and the caller.
