Samsung Galaxy S6, WHAT’s new about it?
This is the first Galaxy S-series to feature a Quad HD screen and runs Android Lollipop with revamped TouchWiz UI, which is based on Material Design guidelines. The new TouchWiz UI is said to be lighter, better (64-bit) optimized, and sport a cleaner interface.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 also sports its own in-house processor- Exynos 7420, an octa-core processor with 64-bit ARM Cortex A57 cores clocked at 2.1GHz, and another four ARM Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.5GHz.
The home button now has a fingerprint sensor embedded in it and supports mobile payments with the help of NFC and MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission).’
