Best new phones 2015: Samsung Galaxy S6
If you're a Samsung fan but would rather stick to a phone
than a phablet then the S6 is just what you're looking for. With Samsung
finally answering build-quality criticisms, it follows in the trend of
the Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy Note 4
with a metal and glass body. There's also a quad-HD screen, plus plenty
of other radical new features, including a super-fast Samsung Exynos
processor (paired with 3GB of RAM), and a redesigned fingerprint scanner
that works a lot more like Apple's Touch ID and, you know, actually
works. The Samsung Galaxy S6 was unveiled at a Samsung Unpacked event on
1 March 2015, and went on sale on 10 April 2015. Prices start at £559 SIM-free. Read our Samsung Galaxy S6 review and learn more about the Samsung Galaxy S6 here.
Best new phones 2015: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
A second version of the Samsung Galaxy S6 launched
alongside the standard S6 at MWC. It follows the trend set by the
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy Note Edge,
but with two curved screen edges rather than one and a marginally
higher-capacity battery than is found in the S6. In other respects the
specs are in line with the standard S6, but expect to pay a premium for
that fancy screen. Learn more about the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge here, which went on sale in the UK on 10 April 2015. Prices start at £749 SIM-free for the 64GB version.
Best new phones 2015: Samsung Galaxy S6 mini
A Samsung Galaxy flagship launch is traditionally followed
by several variants, most importantly a compact version, but we've also
seen variants that offer, for example, improved cameras or more
ruggedised designs. The Samsung Galaxy S6 mini is likely to arrive a few
months after the standard Samsung Galaxy S6, perhaps in late July/early
August, and will be a more compact version of its bigger brother with a
slightly slimmed down spec. We expect to see a 4.7in full-HD screen, a
slower-clocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, perhaps 2GB of RAM and
16- and 5Mp cameras. You can read our Samsung Galaxy S6 mini
