Samsung begins pre-order campaign for new products

 

Samsung Electronics West Africa has announced its latest collection of smartphones – Galaxy S6 Edge and S6 Duos, which will be available for pre-order in Nigeria this week.

The company said the devices would be available in 32GB and 64GB for the S6 Edge and 32GB for the S6 Duos.

The Director of Information Technology and Mobile, Samsung, Emmanouil Revmatas, said that the Galaxy S6 Edge and S6 Duos represented new standards in design and performance, offering consumers an unmatched mobile experience.

“Samsung is in the business of making life easier, simpler and more productive, delivering smart innovations that will transform the way people work and play. These devices are as a result of relentless innovation aimed at providing our customers with the best in technology,” he said.

The S6 series was first unveiled on March 1 at the Samsung Unpacked event held at the Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, Spain. “The phones are a combination of beauty and power comparable to a piece of fine jewelry. The Galaxy S6 Duos is the dual slim version of the S6,” Revmatas said.

According to him, the S6 Edge is made out of a fusion of corning gorilla glass4 and high tensile metal, and features the world’s first dual curved glass display with an exquisite glass and metal, finish giving it a refined look and feel.

He said, “It has a fast-charging feature that allows the device run for four hours on just 10 minutes of charging, and charges to full battery in about 85 minutes for the Galaxy S6 Edge and just 80 minutes for the Galaxy S6 Duos.

“The Galaxy S6 series also comes with a state-of-the-art wireless charging technology that has evolved to make charging easier; simply place the phone on a wireless charger and charging starts.”

The Samsung director said the devices run Android 5.0 Lollipop with 5.1-inch high-resolution displays. “The 2,560 x 1,440 resolution allows the phone to show a high-resolution image in incredible detail. Consumers can buy the Galaxy S6 Edge in two storage options of 32GB and 64GB.

“The Galaxy S6 Edge has a 16-megapixel camera with Optical Image Stabilisation, which enables users to take better photos in low light while the superfast-launching easy-to-use camera allows users instantly capture every precious moment. The auto focus technology keeps every moving object in sharp/clear focus. Selfie lovers can rejoice in the boosted 5-megapixel front camera with 90-degree wide angle.”

In addition, the camera can capture 360 degrees angle around an object and takes photos in less than 0.7 seconds through the new double-tap home button shortcut.

The OIS feature lets the lens move inside to correct blurry effects that result from movements of the hands while taking a picture. It also automatically adjusts the white balance.

“Like a jewel, the dynamic reflective surface produces profound colours at different light angles. Both devices will be available for order in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum at the beginning and Emerald Green later on for Galaxy S6 Edge and Blue Topaz for the Galaxy S6 Duos,” Revmatas added.
