The Galaxy S6 Edge Covers Your Need for Something Special

The Galaxy S6 Edge Covers Your Need for Something Special

 

For many years in a row now, Samsung has released what are arguably the most popular phones of the year, in the form of their Galaxy flagship phones. If there is any single smartphone brand that could even hope to hold a candle to the popularity and indeed the ubiquity of the iPhone brand, it is Samsung's Galaxy line-up. Samsung has capitalised on this popularity by adding a huge number of models at the mid-range price bracket right up to the flagship level. So, in previous years we have seem the introduction of equally successful sub brands to the Galaxy line up. The first one that most people think of would be the Galaxy Note series. Samsung may have been the manufacturer that introduced the masses to the concept of a huge phone or even if they didn't, they are at the very least, the first big name manufacturer that made a phablet sized phone with powerful top of the line specs. Huge phones like the Galaxy Note are the reason why consumers started to gravitate towards larger phones and the reason why even Apple had to give in to the demand for larger phones and move away from its tiny three and a half inch screened iPhones.

Last year, Samsung introduced a completely new variant of the Galaxy flagship, the Edge. Samsung was quite straightforward about what the Galaxy Edge was, simply a Galaxy Phone with a screen that curved away on one side, along with a few software tricks to show off the curve. The Galaxy S6 Edge was close enough to the regular Galaxy phone it was launched alongside that it even shared the S6 model number. This year, it's successor, the Galaxy S6 Edge covers little new ground. It is again a Galaxy S6 with a curved screen. A lot of the tech press wrote off the introductory Edge model as simply Samsung showing off its ability to manufacture curved screens. Others claimed that Samsung was a large and profitable enough company to release a phone into the market purely as a technology demonstration of what it was capable of.

The naysayers seem to have been proved wrong though and sales must have been much better than most people could have imagined because a year later, Samsung released the Galaxy S6 Edge. So who exactly is the S6 Edge targeted at? Anyone who doesn't see the appeal of the phone would wonder. The answer is quite simple. The Galaxy S6 Edge covers online the needs of anyone who wants a flagship smartphone from a well known brand but still wants something a little different. Something that is a little less ubiquitous than what is probably the most popular Android flagship phone on the market today. Sure, the Galaxy S6 Edge may not have much to differentiate it from the regular Galaxy S6 but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It means that the Galaxy S6 Edge gets all the great features and the build quality and style of the regular S6 but with a cool little extra feature that grabs eyeballs and evokes double takes. What could be wrong with that?
