Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge smartphones during the Mobile World Congress 2015 held in Barcelona. These smartphones will be available across the world starting from April 10th. Like the Samsung Galaxy S5 Launch Event, we expect it to release here in Nepal on the same day as the global release. There has been no words about the pricing, but we expect the S6 to be priced at around $650 (32GB) and the edge variant to be around $850 (32GB).

Samsung Galaxy S6, WHAT's new about it?

\nThis is the first Galaxy S-series to feature a Quad HD screen and runs Android Lollipop with revamped TouchWiz UI, which is based on Material Design guidelines. The new TouchWiz UI is said to be lighter, better (64-bit) optimized, and sport a cleaner interface.\n\nThe Samsung Galaxy S6 also sports its own in-house processor- Exynos 7420, an octa-core processor with 64-bit ARM Cortex A57 cores clocked at 2.1GHz, and another four ARM Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.5GHz.\n\nThe home button now has a  fingerprint sensor embedded in it and supports mobile payments with the help of NFC and MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission).'\n\n[embed] the difference between S6 and S6 Edge?\nWhile the Galaxy S6 is the successor of the Galaxy S5, the S6 Edge is kind of a experiment done from Samsung.
