After the Galaxy S6, I didn't miss the chance to have my first hands-on currently the only smartphone with dual edge display. Here's the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
The front portion has the 5.1 inch Quad HD display with Gorilla Glass 4, Samsung logo, physical home button with finger print sensor and 5 MP front camera. The back that is also covered by Gorilla Glass 4 comes with the 16 MP AF rear camera with with heart rate sensor.
Now we can see the dual edge display. Like in Galaxy S6, the volume buttons are located at the left and the power/unlock button at the right but looks like something is missing....
The dual sim slot is located this time at the top together with IR blaster and secondary mic. Same again on the GS6 at the bottom, it's the 3.5 mm. audio jack, micro USB and speaker.

This time, I checked the "control center" of this device which is quite familiar to me like in Galaxy Note 4 and on Galaxy S5. As expected based on what I previously experienced on the GS6, I'm kinda confused on it's 32 GB variant if it has unified storage.
And the camera samples:

Observations: No surprise that it is quite a light device to handle. Like in GS6, I had the same experience in terms of app transitions and camera shutter speed - really fast smartphone. I didn't have a hard time on navigating the smartphone on one as you'll have to check on the dual edge display. The overall look really deserves to be as one major contender for flagship phone of the year.
For Philippine market, the 32 GB edition of Samsung Galaxy S6 will be at Php 41,990. Add Php 6,000 to get the bigger 64 GB variant. Pre-order this device to get 2 free clear cases. More info at www.nextisnow.ph
