Since their debut into the Android platform with the release of their Galaxy S2, Samsung has managed to influence the world of smartphones. Though in the recent years, there have been a variant of smartphones with a competing advantage, Samsung still holds the top spot with their lineup of smartphone devices in the market today. Most users who are familiar with the Android devices in their portfolio, know the ‘Galaxy’ models all too well, but what are some of the Samsung high-end devices that stand out:
Galaxy Note 5
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 was first launched in August 2015. Featuring a new language design of the Galaxy S device, the Note 5 is a 5.7 inch smartphone similar to Galaxy S6 Edge + with a slightly curved back and is complemented with a handy S pen. Its software and hardware has been revamped for pen input and it features an excellent camera. However, it doesn’t come with an expandable storage and its 3000 mAh battery is irremovable.
Galaxy S6

Galaxy S6 Edge
A follow up of Galaxy S6, the S6 Edge is somewhat similar to Galaxy S6 with a few omissions. With the curves on both the left and the right edges, the phone has an extremely thin look which adds a cool visual to the screen. This includes an interesting desk clock mode, notifications even when the phone is face-down and a favorite contact list feature on the edge of the phone. These outstanding edge screen features are definitely worth a try.
