Blue Topaz Samsung Galaxy S6 and Emerald Green Samsung Galaxy S6 edge now available
In a released statement, Samsung has announced that the Blue Topaz version of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Green Emerald version of the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge are now available. Samsung's announcement does not mention a specific launch date nor does it state which regions the new colors are available in. Both models are currently available in White Pearl, Black Sapphire and Gold Platinum.
The Blue Topaz and Green Emerald colors were announced back at MWC when Samsung first unveiled its new flagship models. Talking about the Blue Topaz color, British Psychologist Dr. Donna Dawson said that, "People who opt for Samsung’s Blue Topaz Galaxy S6 are likely to be more self-confident, fastidious, discriminating, sensitive, exacting, and intuitive. The ‘brightness’ of the color tends to attract more people who are both self-assured and know what they like."
Dawson adds that "People who choose Green as their preferred color will tend to be balanced, loyal, hard-working, honest, benevolent and concerned for others. They may aspire to be good citizens with a highly-developed moral sense and a desire for simplicity. ‘Green’ also represents new life and new beginnings, and often inspires ‘hope’ and renewed vitality and energy in people, conveying friendliness and a connection to others."

Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition for Galaxy S6 and S6 edge now available for $199.99
Back in September last year, Samsung unveiled the Gear VR virtual reality headset alongside the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge. The headset, which was developed in collaboration with Oculus requires a Galaxy Note 4 in order to operate. Now Samsung has released a new Gear VR which works with the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge.
The Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition for the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge can be purchased either from the official Samsung website, or through Best Buy. Compared to the Galaxy Note 4 version of the Gear VR, the new one is both smaller and lighter, comes with redesigned straps, and also features a built-in fan to help with the airflow. Samsung says that the octa-core Exynos 7420 chipset that powers the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge translates into a much smoother virtual reality experience, while the high-PPI display of the Galaxy S6 series should also translate into a better viewing experience as well. On the downside, the field of view will also be narrower due the smaller display.
Although the Gear VR Innovator Edition is probably the best virtual reality headset that money can currently purchase, you should keep in mind that this is not consumer-ready device, as the name obviously suggests. If you're not a developer interested in building virtual reality apps, you're probably better off waiting for other headsets, such as the Oculus Rift or the HTC Valve Vive.

Last month, we learned that Samsung and Marvel were teaming together, to produce a limited edition Avengers variants of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge. Now, the two have partnered on the first of a series of promotional videos for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Age of Ultron movie.
The first part is called "Assemble" and starts with a plan to simulate the superpowers of the mightiest heroes on the planet. The videos are hosted by Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders).
[UPDATE] [April 30, 2015] The new promo (and last of the quick two-part series) picks up where the first one ended. This time, our heroes are treated to a free Samsung Gear VR which allows them to actually see themselves as superheroes.

Samsung Galaxy S6 - Avengers: Age of Ultron promo
Last month, we learned that Samsung and Marvel were teaming together, to produce a limited edition Avengers variants of the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge. Now, the two have partnered on the first of a series of promotional videos for the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Age of Ultron movie.
The first part is called "Assemble" and starts with a plan to simulate the superpowers of the mightiest heroes on the planet. The videos are hosted by Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders).
The first person we see is fourth grader Bobby Martinez from Kansas City. While reading an online Avengers comic, Bobby finds a mysterious briefcase by his window. The next would-be superhero is Green Bay Packer running back Eddie Lacy, who sees his briefcase appear out of nowhere after a strenuous workout. That brings up Sasha Blanc, a mechanical engineer in Prague and the lone female on the team, who also discovers one of those mysterious briefcases. Cyclist Fabian Cancellara run into his briefcase while cycling down the road. To round out the team, surfer John John Florence finds his briefcase on the beach.
Each one of them is told by a voice within the briefcase which Avenger they match up with. Martinez is Captain America while running back Lacy is the Hulk. Cancellara matches up with Hawkeye. Thor is the Avenger that matches John John Florence (thanks to his "Godly courage and Godly hair") is Thor while Blanc is the Black Widow.
All five rendezvous at a restaurant where they realize that they are one Iron Man short of a team. In through the door walks soccer star Lionel "Leo" Messi. Now that they are a team, their briefcases unlock revealing a Samsung Galaxy S6. But before they can get to enjoy the phones, the floor disappears beneath them sucking us in for the second part of this video, which is coming soon.
[UPDATE] [April 30, 2015] The new promo (and last of the quick two-part series) picks up where the first one ended. This time, our heroes are treated to a free Samsung Gear VR which allows them to actually see themselves as superheroes.
The team starts their virtual training when they are interrupted by a group of robots with a mission to destroy the Avengers. It appears that Packers' running back Eddie Lacy has the most fun as the Hulk, crushing one of the robots and turning it into a tin football. It turns out that the battle is all part of the training after all, and at the end of the day the six understand what it is like to become a team.
It looks like other mortals will also get the opportunity to become Avengers by downloading the Avengers Experience game coming soon from the Oculus Store. The game will be available for those with the Samsung Galaxy S6 using Gear VR.

Samsung Galaxy S6 - Video Review
Samsung released not one, but two new Android flagships this year - the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Both handsets offer Quad HD displays, powerful octa-core processors and a brand new premium metal design.
The Android smartphone landscape is filled with great options, and Samsung found itself struggling to stay on top last year amidst its competitors offerings. This year Samsung hopes to regain its momentum with the introduction of the Galaxy S6. The company has taken an entirely new design approach for their new flagship with clear inspiration from the iPhone 6 visible when you handle the device.
The new flagship features the redesign to the series in recent memory, with the introduction of premium materials in its design - in comparison to the unflattering feel of plastic. The handset also packs the most powerful hardware with a quad-HD Super AMOLED display, 16MP camera and 64-bit based octa-core Exynos processor to ensure its future proof state.
Samsung has also paid special attention to its software approach by making its TouchWiz UI more fluid and modern. From the phone’s responsiveness with operations, to the quality produced by its camera, and the high qualities exhibited by its Super AMOLED display, its clear that Samsung has paid great attention to detail.
Despite the upgrades, the new design has resulted in the new device not offering some of its predecessor’s unique features - such as expandable storage via microSD card slot, user replaceable battery, and a water resistant construction.
At the end of the day, Samsung has focussed on what customers asked for, so it will be interesting to see how these changes affect the popularity of one of the top Android smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge - Official Introduction Video
The Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge were recently announced at MWC 2015, with a radically different approach to design and build materials. Samsung has replaced the usual plastic exterior with a layer of Gorilla Glass 4 which has been, splashed in one of four distinctive hues - White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, or Blue Topaz.
Even the frame that runs around the sides of the device, as well as the buttons are all made of metal, just like the case on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Despite the premium materials, Samsung has even managed to keep their new flagship thinner (6.8mm) and lighter (138 grams) than the Samsung Galaxy S5.

For their new flagship, Samsung has decided to rely on its own Exynos processors instead of Qualcomm's SoCs. The processor employs the new 14nm architecture process, which should offer more efficient, yet less power hungry results. You get a 64-bit octa-core processor with ARM Mali T760 graphics and 3GB of super-fast DDR4 RAM.
The handset's internal memory employs Sammy's brand-new UFS 2.0 technology, which should deliver performance speeds up to 2.7 times faster than today's eMMC 5.0 tech. The Galaxy S6 edge will come in three storage variants - 32 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB, there will be no external SD expansion slots.
Press Release
Samsung Galaxy S6 officially announced with bold new design and powerful hardware
The Samsung Galaxy S6 was officially announced today along with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, at the Galaxy Unpacked 2015 event at MWC. The new Android flagship offers a brand new premium design and packs the latest smartphone hardware and software.
Hardware
The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a 5.1 inch Super AMOLED display with a 1440 x 2560 pixel Quad HD resolution. The display has an astonishing 577 ppi of pixel density for crisp clear images, and a 600 nits brightness output which is ideal for outdoor visibility.
Samsung is also introducing a premium design, which starts with the an aluminum unibody case. Samsung claims the metal is 50% stronger than anything found on competitors smartphones, and made sure to take a jab at the #bedgate issues faced by the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. The aluminium frame is sandwiched between two Gorilla Glass 4 panels. The result is a premium look like we have not seen from Samsung in the past, but warmly welcomed nevertheless.
Despite their aluminum build, the Samsung Galaxy S6 lighter (138 grams) and slimmer (6.8 millimeters) than the Samsung Galaxy S5. Unfortunately the new design comes at a price, as both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge no longer have IP67 ratings, which mean they are no longer waterproof. Even with the premium materials, Samsung has retained their tradition of color, offering the new Galaxy S6 Edge in White Pearl, Black Sapphire and Gold Platinum.
At the same time, the Samsung Galaxy S6 has adopted quite a few traits and features from last year's Galaxy S5. Among them are the curved corners and the button arrangement, with a physical "Home" button below the screen coupled with a pair of capacitive ones for navigation. As before, there's a fingerprint scanner built into the home key – thankfully, one you have to touch, not swipe, to get your finger scanned. Around the back of the phone we find little more than a protruding camera and a heart rate sensor as the opening for the single speaker is now at the phone's bottom.

As before, there's a fingerprint scanner built into the home key – thankfully, one you have to touch, not swipe, to get your finger scanned. Around the back of the phone we find little more than a protruding camera and a heart rate sensor as the opening for the single speaker is now at the phone's bottom.
For their new flagship, Samsung has decided to rely on its own Exynos processors instead of Qualcomm's SoCs. The processor employs the new 14nm architecture process, which should offer more efficient, yet less power hungry results. You get a 64-bit octa-core processor with ARM Mali T760 graphics and 3GB of super-fast DDR4 RAM.
The handset's internal memory employs Sammy's brand-new UFS 2.0 technology, which should deliver performance speeds up to 2.7 times faster than today's eMMC 5.0 tech. The Galaxy S6 edge will come in three storage variants - 32 GB, 64 GB, and 128 GB, there will be no external SD expansion slots.
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge comes with an all-new 16MP camera. The aperture size has been upgraded to F1.9, which should provide better light capturing, and shallower depth of field for better focus options and effects. OIS, Selective focus, HDR, and 4K video are expected to make a return, and a quick-access feature has been added – users can now double click the home button, which will bring up the camera app in just 0.7 seconds, according to Samsung.
The front facing camera is also an impressive upgrade – the sensor has a 5 MP resolution and also sports an F1.9 aperture size, and Samsung promises great performance in low-light conditions.
Samsung wanted to make it clear than their camera could outperform Apple's current offering and showed demonstrations of both units side by side during their presentation.
Battery
The Galaxy S6 edge sports a 2,600 mAh power box and employs a quick charging tech, which, according to Samsung, will allow the user to get a 4 hours worth of charge for just 10 minutes of being plugged in a wall charger. The handset also has wireless charging tech, which is compliant with both major standards – WPC and PMA!
Software
For both the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung has totally redesigned its TouchWiz user interface, which will overlay Android 5.0 Lollipop. The updated user interface is snappier and faster than ever before, offering the very basic Samsung-branded experience from the box. If anyone finds themselves missing a certain feature that used to be on their old Galaxy S handset – the Galaxy Apps store will be the place to find it.
As for what functions will actually be on the handset from the get-go – S Health, S Voice, Quick Connect, and Ultra Power Saving mode will be making their reappearance, and a new Themes app will allow users to customize the looks of the interface to their own liking. There will, of course, be an app for the brand-new Samsung Pay service, and all of Google's apps will be on board. Microsoft's Skype, OneDrive, and OneNote will also be installed out of the box, and users will be gifted 115 GB of OneDrive storage space for two years. New owners should also expect to be greeted by pre-loaded Facebook and WhatsApp applications.
Pricing and Availability
The Galaxy S6 edge will be available globally starting from April 10, 2015 and will be available with 32GB, 64GB or 128GB of storage. Pricing is still unknown, but we reckon it will be around $650 off-contract (or $200 on contract), with likely differences based on regions.Press Release

Sprint teases upcoming Samsung flagship, opens pre-registrations
Sprint has joined T-Mobile and AT&T to tease "the latest Samsung device" which is expected to launch sometime after its official unveiling at the MWC, on March 1. Sprint has also opened a pre-registration page, so that anyone who is interested can sign up for updates on Samsung's upcoming flagship device.
Just like T-Mobile and AT&T, all we see is a teaser of the handset which bears Sprint's traditional color on its display. Some of the notable features are the new placement of the power button, the redesigned home button and the curved display that blends into what looks like an all metal chassis. If Samsung does release a Galaxy S6 Edge, alongside the regular Galaxy S6, the image we are seeing will likely be the former and not the latter.
Besides an all new design, the Galaxy S6 is expected to feature a 5.1 inch Quad HD display, up to 128GB of internal storage with microSD expansion, an improved 20MP camera, and a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB of RAM.
The next generation of Galaxy handsets are expected to arrive this Spring, which puts their availability sometime between March and May. The Galaxy S6 Edge, will be the more expensive of the two variants, if Samsung chooses to follow the trend between the Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy Note Edge.
