Beautiful display; premium build; best camera on a smartphone

touchwiz still not as good as vanilla Android

With or without a rounded display, the smartphones from the Galaxy S6-series are equipped with the latest hardware components and the Galaxy S6 Edge once again shows how innovative the Koreans can be.

Samsung has enjoyed iron-clad control of the Android smartphone market over the past few years, but many people have recently accused the firm of resting on its laurels. This accusation gained momentum in 2014 when Samsung released what in many people's minds was its dullest handset to date, the...
