Curved-Edge Metallic Smartphones

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Has a Metal Frame and Glass Back

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is a smartphone that has a distinct and elegant performance thanks to its glass back, metallic frame and overall svelte and polished look. This phone is just 7 mm thin.

Without a doubt, the highlight of this phone is its curved edge display which doesn't just have a curve on the right side -- as is the case with the Galaxy Note Edge -- but on both sides.

This beautiful handset comes with a 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display, and has a screen size identical to the Galaxy S5, albeit with a significant and noticeable improvement in resolution, at a ridiculous 577 pixels per inch. The phone is powered by an octa-core Samsung Exynos processor and boasts 3 GB of RAM alongside either 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB of storage.

If you can combine top-notch specs with a design that's beautiful yet simple, you must know what you're doing and Samsung certainly does.
