Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge Officially Revealed

It's been a few days already since Samsung officially revealed their latest creation -- the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. The announcement was made in this years Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. For us here in the Philippines, the announcement was also done at the same time as a live event was held here in Manila at Solaire Resort and Casino.

It's been a while since Samsung caught my attention. The S6 Edge didn't disappoint and the fact that it made my beloved iPhone 6 Plus style look outdated, it's really something else. Let's see if the actual unit performs as good as it looks.

The Galaxy S6 Edge is a unique device that will make heads turn, having the world's first curved display on both sides. Available in premium colors such as White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, Blue Topaz and Green Emerald, the colors are elegant enough to fit whatever high class event you are going to. But class is nothing if it's not tough. Made with the toughest glass to date -- the Corning Gorilla Glass 4, it makes sure that style need not be flimsy.
