Samsung Announces Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge and Samsung Pay

[Chad-VI]

Yup, because surely no phone ever had curved edges before iPhone.

Oh wait...

I am not talking about the curved edge. I am talking about the same place of the speaker grill , micro usb port, and the headphone jack.

No SD slot and no removable battery. Now a lot of people will just buy iPhones.

Oh, so like the HTC One M8.

Gotcha.

 

[Opieap13]

Very similar but works in less stores.

Actually you hold it to terminal and hold finger on touch ID no swiping required.

How many other places can you put it?

 

[Pecheneg]

6th? You could of showed me galaxy 2, cause i just can't tell the difference...

 

[aerok]

I almost want to sell my Note 4 just to get as far away from Samsung now. They can't even try to back this one up after making all those commercials making fun of Apple and their fans, and then making this and it goes against A LOT of those commercials.

You would sell your Note 4 because of that? (Not that I believe you when you say you own one)

I think you put too much emotions towards your tech.

As if 8 cores and 14nm willl do any colossal change in typical usage, this is pure marketing gimmick, just like when Sammy tried the same 8-core thing when the S4 arrived...

It's beating out a8x with ease and that's only at 1.5ghz

 

[aerok]

Perhaps they should have a separate hardware for the ports that connect to a port situated behind the phone. Then nobody would say Samsung copied.

It's in the middle of the bottom on MOST phones.

Yep and the nexus 5 had speaker grills there and the lg g3 had the headphone socket there

Its amazing what some people think is copying and innovation lol

 

[73b]

Wireless charging seems like a gimmick. Put your phone on a pad or put it in a dock, not much of a convenience.

 

[Alphazoid]

When Apple copies Samsung, it's called innovation.

When Samsung copies Apple, it's called photocopying.

No its called copying too...at least by any sane person.

The problem is Samsung make it out like they don't copy and vociferously mock Apple.

And when they release stuff that obviously borrows from Apple you have to raise an eyebrow.

Samsung Copiers:
iPhone 4 metal perimeter + iPhone 6/6 Plus bottom + iPhone 4 gorilla glass on front and back + iPhone 6/6 Plus-esque volume buttons, iPhone 5S Touch ID => iPhone Frankenstein Monster!

 

[AppleP59]

Wow, fanboy galore today. Don't get me wrong I have the iPhone 6 plus. It's full of bugs in IOS 8 though. All companies can take a bashing.. I give samsung props for introducing a 16 megapixel camera and competing with Apple.

Because more megapixels = better..?

What did they copie then? Themselves?

Can you give me another Samsung device that is more alike? Seriously.
You can't deny, these are VERY similar;

But to be fair - how big is "the box" which we can think outside of?

 

[lotzosushi]

Anyone remember this?

You mean like how Apple boasts that Samsung should prepare the photocopiers after they release the iPhone 6+, based off the Samsung Note phablet line?

 

[SMIDG3T]

They've added wireless charging to make up for the lack of removable battery.

iPhone sure doesn't have that.

And, oh no, they moved the headphone jack to the bottom of the phone. How dare they?

Please...

Truth hurts doesn't it?

 

[skratch77]

Is it 64-bit? and last i checked you barely use 4 cores in real world use in Android. So 8-cores is nice sounding on a spec-sheet but jury is out if you get anything from it.

Last time you checked? Stop pulling bs out of thin air.androids kernel scheduler fully loads all 8 cores and takes full advantage of 8 cores in lollipop and yes its 64bit

 

[spectrumfox]

Truth hurts doesn't it?

This whole thread is definitely hurting my sides from all the laughing.

All this insecurity. All this screaming over Samsung copying.

Especially after the iPhone 6+.

 

[Opieap13]

Think its about the same steps for apple pay? Never used it not really sure .

No not how Apple pay works. Just hold phone to terminal (locked and off) and hold finger on touch ID.

 

[xmichaelp]

Chamfered edges? Metal sides? Glass back? Antenna lines? Samsung Pay?

I despise this company and hope they burn.

Payback time to Shamesung because Apple and their fans are winning!

Loving it!

BS quad core is used and its big little, so only 1 quad core at the time.

How any times has Apple mocked Samsung?

People complained that Samsung had a nasty plastic removable back, now they complain that they have a solid one piece phone.
