I was invited to cover the Samsung Unpacked 2015 event yesterday at Solaire for Smart. The event featured the launch and livestream of the Mobile World Congress Unpacked 2015 event in Barcelona, Spain. There was also a preview of the devices from our friends from Samsung Philippines.
Samsung introduced two flagship models this year: the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. The two are quite similar in power and features except for the added sexy curve design of the Galaxy S6 Edge on its side panels.

The biggest difference of this year's iteration is the design. Samsung S6 no longer sports the plasticky feel of its predecessors. Samsung learned its lesson and went gung-ho and finished the S6 with a glass and metal feel similar to its competitors. The result is simply outstanding. It now feels like how a flagship smartphone should feel like. Samsung truly made the design a big priority this year.

Here's a quick run-down of the other specs. I featured and tweeted some of it at the live tweet/coverage of the event via @SmartCares.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is 5.1-inch and is between iPhone 6's 4.7-inch and iPhone 6 Plus' 5.5-inch displays. The days of small screens are definitely over.
