Samsung has just unveiled one of their next flagship smartphones for 2015 – the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.

Much like how the Note Edge was a Note 4 with a curve on the right side, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is basically the same as the Galaxy S6. The main difference here is that the screen now curves both ways, making it a lot more beautiful to look at. It also has some functionality added to the software to utilize this curve.

Being a Galaxy S6 genetically, it’s also made out of metal and Gorilla Glass 4. That also means it will have a Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440, the latest 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 CPU, and a much better 16 megapixel camera paired with a 5 megapixel selfie camera. This one however, packs a slightly larger 2,600 mAh battery that is capable of Qi Wireless Charging.

Samsung has just announced one of their next flagship smartphones for 2015 – the Samsung Galaxy S6.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is just one of the two smartphones that the company released today, the other being the Galaxy S6 Edge. The Galaxy S6 packs a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440, and also packs the latest 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 CPU from the company. It’s also claiming to have a much better 16 megapixel camera paired with a 5 megapixel selfie camera. It also packs a 2,550 mAh battery that is capable of charging wirelessly.

Aside from the most obvious advances in hardware, Samsung has taken a new direction for some elements, mainly the Galaxy S6’s construction. The company has finally abandoned plastic in the phone’s construction and has finally incorporated better feeling materials such as metal and glass. However, this means that we will no longer see a removable back cover. Samsung has also ditched the micro SD card slot and water-resistance to make way for this new design philosophy.

Touted as the most immersive experience of any VR package, the Vive comes with a Full Room Scale 360 Degree Solution with Tracked Controllers that lets you you get up, walk around and explore your virtual space, inspect objects from every angle and truly interact with your surroundings.

It even features high-quality graphics, 90-frames-per-second video and touted to have incredible audio fidelity. It also has its own wireless VR controllers, coming in pairs, that are simple and intuitive to use and can be used for a wide range of VR experiences.

The Vive Developer Kit, now in Beta, has some pretty cool game developers on board, including Vertigo Games, Bossa, Barry–Fireproof, Dovetail Games, Wemo Labs, Google, Steel Wool Games and Owlchemy.
