In the IT-community was virtually no doubt that Samsung will present its new flagship Galaxy S6 March 1st. But yesterday, the Koreans have removed everything questions by sending out invitations to their event (Unpacked 2015) planned just on the first day of spring.

Rumors about the future trends walks a lot, but just looks more realistic scenario, in which the smartphone will get a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, 8-core processor Exynos 7420 (in some regions Snapdragon 810), 4 GB of RAM and the main camera 20 megapixels with various types of improvements. There is also information that the Galaxy S6 go in the footsteps of Note 4, that is to be regular (flat) version and Edge (bent), but judging by the picture on the invitation is not excluded that the main module will be with some bending. By the way, the appearance of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, bent on both sides, too, can not be excluded.

In Samsung Galaxy S6 has all chances to become the best smartphone of 2015, in fact within the company have been huge changes. Let the new designer hardly had time to make his hand to the appearance of the expected trends, but the information about what the future flagship created “from scratch” can not but rejoice. This means that the Galaxy S6 will not be like previous models. Smartphone to help Koreans to return the leading position in the market. Personally, I’m really looking forward to March 1 to see the creation of Samsung. Watch for our website during the exhibition WMC 2015, we will try to maximize its extensive light and show you the most interesting news first, including the flagship of the Koreans. If you believe the Phone Arena, then for the Galaxy S6 32GB will ask 749 euros for 64 GB – 849 euros and 128 GB – 949 euros. Edge-version will cost 100 euros more.

Do I need a curved display smartphone? I think this is not the most important characteristics that I would look for when selecting a device. Especially in the case of the pioneers – Samsung Galaxy Round and LG G Flex. The benefit of this bend was well, very little, let’s be honest. In the Galaxy Note EDGE display curved differently – it’s not a small bend over the entire area display, clearly curved line that looks very unusual. But whether he was more useful than a curved?

And in this post I want to share a little experience operating Note EDGE is folded with a focus on end, as inyuz Galaxy Note 4, which I use for several months, I have recently published.

For those who have not read / did not watch reviews, enclose a link to them: Samsung Galaxy Note EDGE, Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

The main feature of Note EDGE, which distinguishes it from the original model – a curved display. Bending pronounced and, unlike the aforementioned Galaxy Round, curved portion has a separate functionality. That is, we have not just the fact that there is a bend, and case studies and how to use it. Technically, here we have one display, the right part is bent. Software is the entire interface is divided into two zones: the main screen, which has a diagonal of 5.6 “and a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, and sideband, its resolution is 2560 x 160 pixels. This is enough to place a column of icons, scrolling and other useful information.

What is the use of this panel? If you do not take into account that it looks very unusual and such a display can just brag to your friends, this line can be used in favor of functionality. For example, the night, as expected, are very handy thing. Several times I tried to sleep with her for hours straight Pebble, that at any moment it was possible to see the time, but it is inconvenient. Unlock any smartphone hurt – too bright. And then at a certain time you just show the weather, time and date. Muted tsiferki to completely off (black) screen is not annoying at all. By the way, the weather turned out to be even more useful than the time – I have are often shooting in the morning and woke up before the alarm, it is useful to know the rain or not, as well as temperature.

Of course, conveniently located on the side of the icon with the most popular applications and games for their fast start. It’s like an extra on the desktop dock that accommodates a large number of icons.

Also proved a convenient pop-up messages: how to notice and function keys. For example, while playing an incoming call does not interrupt gameplay, you can answer or repel the call using the sliders on the side panel. And while watching videos or playing conveniently receive notification of incoming messages – you know who and what is written.

Today, the side panels are not very many. But open API, developers can build upon existing applications and games (additional gaming panel could use as extra. Items) and write a separate sidebar, which will be available in the app store Samsung.

Speaking of usability, it is worth noting that there is no discomfort, but one drawback due to the folded edge, still is – cases. If you like to wear the device in a case, it will have a good search. Of good options I found brand smart case with a lid that does not completely close the display to curved surface was always visible.

There is another point that requires a habit – a key lock. In most large smartphones, it is located on the right side to it was convenient to reach with your thumb. Immediately, for obvious reasons, it had to move upstairs.

Oddly enough, but in the hand of a smartphone is no worse than usual Note 4, the folded edge of the convenience seized upon not affected. Many people ask the question: “How does the bent part, when using the device constantly touches her hand?”. The manufacturer has provided it, and the panel responds to touch only if you’re working with it.

Second, that some wonder – what to do lefties, since only one face is bent, and she was right. There is also a software solution, Note EDGE – the first smartphone Korean manufacturer, interface which can be flipped upside down. In this case, instead of at hardware keys appear onscreen. A side face in such a position is to the left.

Unfortunately, during the review, I have not found it possible to turn the side panel in a locked state to an active was only bent portion. During the operation, I found how to do it: in the locked position, simply swipe your finger from left to right or vice versa, but without lifting a finger. Once the clock appears, and you can swipe to switch the other panel. Conveniently, if you set a string of weather to see the temperature. By the way, in the app store Samsung already have an application Gismeteo, which is accessible side panel with a thermometer. Looks fresh.

In general, the solution of interesting, and you get used to it. But at most, curved screen – still branding thing. EDGE – pretty massive thing as a cost, and the feelings. Functionally useful, but to grow, of course, is where. I’d like to display more third-party solutions, especially waiting for them in games. Today, many complex games ported and processed for smartphones and tablets. Take the Heroes of Might and Magic 3, which have recently appeared for mobile devices, or tanks in which to add. the screen can accommodate a variety of useful buttons. But even now, the existence of such rarities like!

Himself smartphone is still one of the most powerful on the market, with a very high-quality display and an excellent camera. In this case we get an all in one for those who want a fashion phone, but with unclipped characteristics.

As well as success for the new Galaxy S4 the South Korean manufacturer Samsung would be willing to carry out so many different variants for the new Galaxy Note III. Initially, the diagonal of the display would have been 5.99 inches, then dropped to 5.7 inches and now instead we talk about different cuts of display to have in the future is also a version of this new Mini and Active phablet Android.

Maybe all these changes in the rumors suggest that Samsung has not yet decided on the size of the new Galaxy Note III and the latest rumors are confirming that might get different cuts on the market, to satisfy the demands of many users.

According to an Indian site logistics, Samsung would send versions 5.5, 5.7 and 5.99 inches at the R & D center in India to assess the following denominations dimensional.

This will mean that Samsung might actually bring to market three variants of Galaxy Note III with three different display size and technology, for example a flexible OLED, an OLED and a standard LCD, as rumored a few weeks ago.

Obviously these are only rumors and we have not yet certain news but being able to choose between 3 different sizes of display could be the trump card to get a wide range of users.

We just have to wait for further information.
