History Samsung Galaxy Edge S6 It's not over yet. Its success and beauty are undeniable. However, we're going to have to keep watching it and speaking highly of it. Although more than about it, it will be about Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, a variant that is very close to arriving and now appears in a photograph with a 5,5-inch screen. In its subsequent evolution, the model consolidated a phablet format with a larger diagonal panel, maintaining the glass and metal design and the characteristic double curvature from the screen.
An improved version
It must be said that it's not at all strange to us to see that Samsung is going to launch a later version of its flagship, with improved features. In fact, it's been something characteristic of the company for a few years now. In fact, we've seen the improved Samsung Galaxy S4, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus, both launched months after the original version, and with features that allowed the device to reposition itself in the market with the latest developments in the world of technology.

The jump in size was accompanied by key improvements: 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM To enhance multitasking, ultra-fast UFS 2.0 storage in 32 or 64 GB and a 14nm Exynos processor with eight cores (4x2.1 GHz and 4x1.5 GHz) with Mali‑T760 MP8 GPU. All of this translates into outstanding fluency and leading the performance tests of its generation. The finish maintains the aluminum frame with glass back and front, a fingerprint reader on the home button, and a heart rate sensor next to the camera.
In connectivity, it offers advanced LTE (Cat.6 and compatibility with higher bands depending on the variant), Bluetooth 4.2, Wi‑Fi ac with MIMO, NFC and ANT+, plus GPS with A‑GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou. It doesn't have a microSD slot or infrared port, and its water resistance is not part of this chassis, a point to consider if you are looking for maximum protection.
The iPhone 6s Plus is the target
What is the iPhone 6s Plus's rival? Is it the Samsung Galaxy Note 5? It's not entirely clear, given that the latter is larger and has the S-Pen stylus. It's more for a different type of user. The iPhone 6s Plus is Apple's large-format flagship, and it doesn't have a direct rival, at least not from Samsung, whose flagship was launched a few months ago; by then it will no longer be at the top level and will have a smaller screen. That's why Samsung has wanted to try to launch a phone that's on par with the iPhone 6s Plus by the time the latter is launched. And that would be none other than the iPhone 6s Plus.
