Though both these handsets are made of metal and glass (metal frame and corning gorilla glass 4 on rear and front ) the S6 might look just like any other Samsung Galaxy Handsets, however the S6 Edge is different. After a long time we are seeing a considerable change in the handset design, it started off with the Note Edge and now on the S6 Edge.

The S6 and the S6 Edge comes with worlds first 64 bit 14nm chipset – it’s octa core Exynos 7420 clocked at 2.1GHz running Lollipop with 3GB RAM and optional 32GB/64GB and 128GB storage. The handset supports 4G, 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, NFC, GPS, Bluetooth, IR, finger print scanner and heart rate sensors on the back. The finger print scanner is different, you just need to place your finger on the scanner – no swipe required as seen on the other Galaxy handsets with finger print scanner.
