Hands on with Samsung's Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
When we reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S5 last year, the handset made a surprisingly good impression, thanks to its blazing performance, outstanding battery life, and a stunning Super AMOLED screen. We liked its thin, light and water-resistant build too - but the plastics used in its construction weren't exactly pleasant.
Indeed, however capable the Galaxy S5 was, it always felt like there was some magic and sparkle missing from it. It didn't feel as high-end as an HTC One, or as effortlessly beautiful as an iPhone, or even as rock-solid as a flagship Lumia.
With the Galaxy S6, Samsung is hoping that it has addressed many of the criticisms levelled at its predecessor. We had the opportunity to play with both the S6, and its new S6 Edge sibling, at their launch today, to gauge a few first impressions from the very briefest of hands-on time with the two new handsets.
