The much-hyped Galaxy S6 Edge was announced alongside the Galaxy S6 at Mobile World Congress 2015. Its dual curved edges, providing a more immersive viewing experience, make it one of the most unique phones on the market. Read below for full details on S6 Edge features, which Samsung first announced at its 'Unpacked' event in Barcelona.

Galaxy S6 Edge features
The most interesting feature of the Galaxy S6 Edge is its curve-edged display, made from Corning Gorilla Glass 4. This is what differentiates it from the S6, along with most other smartphones on the market. Its 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display has a very high pixel density of 577 ppi.
Its internals include Samsung's latest octa-core processor, comprising quad 2.1GHz and quad 1.5Ghz. It packs 3 GB of RAM and either 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB of internal memory, powered by a 2,600mAh battery. It also runs Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.

Its camera comes with f1.9 lenses and high-resolution sensors on both front (5MP) and rear (16MP) cameras. The rear camera also features optical image stabilization (OIS). But perhaps the most interesting new feature is Samsung Pay. This is a mobile payment service and will launch on the Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6, in the United States during the second half of this year.

The S6 Edge's glass and aluminium body makes it feel more premium than previous Samsung devices. It comes in five colors: white pearl, black sapphire, gold platinum, blue topaz and green emerald.
The S6 Edge comes with a refreshed version of TouchWiz, with fewer pre-installed apps, but won't have expandable storage through a micro-SD card slot. Neither the Galaxy S6 Edge, nor the S6, is water-resistant.
Galaxy S6 Edge price
The Galaxy S6 Edge comes with a price tag of around 950 USD for the 32 GB version. The 64 GB version will cost around 1050 USD and the 128 GB version will be around 1150 USD.
