# Curved-Edge Metallic Smartphones The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Has a Metal Frame and Glass Back By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-03-02 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/galaxy-s6-galaxy-s6-edge-details/36333/) & [samsung](http://www.samsung.com/us/register/six-appeal/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Curved-edge Smartphones:** Smartphone manufacturers can focus on developing curved-edge displays on their devices, creating a sleek and modern design. - **Metallic Smartphones:** Companies can incorporate metal frames and glass backs into their smartphone designs to appeal to consumers seeking high-end, sophisticated devices. - **High-resolution Smartphones:** Smartphone companies can compete by improving their devices' resolutions to provide consumers with the highest quality screens on the market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Technology:** The technology industry can incorporate these trends in smartphone design to provide consumers with visually appealing and high-performing devices. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can develop materials and manufacturing processes to create the metallic frames and glass backs for smartphones. - **Retail:** Retail companies can sell high-end, visually stunning smartphones to consumers who prioritize sophisticated design and high performance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Thin Flagship Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-s25-edge.md) - [Curved OLED Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-motorola-edge.md) - [Ultra High-Resolution Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s22.md) - [Flipping High-Power Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-flip6.md) - [Premium Triple-Screen Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/z-fold6.md) - [Curvaceous Flagship Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curvaceous-flagship-smartphone.md) - [Foldable Crease-Free Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-se.md) - [Robust Power-Sharing Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-s21-fe.md) - [AI-Accelerated Laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galaxy-book4-edge.md)
