Samsung S6 and S6 Edge: 10 features that surpass Apple

You have to admit: the new iPhone 6/iPhone 6 Plus you bought half a year ago is no longer the latest smartphone. Don't get me wrong, they are still great and easy to use, but with a series of new phones released in early 2015, your next target will soon be one of them.

Likewise, don't ignore the new flagships from Samsung, HTC and other manufacturers, especially the Samsung S6/S6 Edge. Samsung has added many new features to its smart flagships this year, such as better design, simpler UI, and some features that Apple phones don't have. The following are the main 10 aspects.

1. Fast charging

Samsung S6 supports fast charging function, which can provide 4 hours of power in 10 minutes and can be fully charged to 50% in 30 minutes. This is not currently supported by Apple phones.

2. Wireless charging

Samsung S6/S6 Edge also supports multiple wireless charging standards, which are directly integrated into the body, and can realize wireless charging standards such as Qi without the use of a compatible back cover.

3. Run multiple applications on the same screen

Although Apple's iOS supports multitasking, it can only run one application on one screen. Samsung S6/S6 Edge successfully continues the predecessor and can run multiple applications on one screen, which is more convenient to use.

4. Wake up the side screen

The Samsung S6 Edge has a built-in double-sided curved side screen. Even without unlocking the phone, you can check notification messages and other content through the side screen, which is very convenient.

5. View incoming calls and contacts via Edge

If you set a caller color for a specific contact on your Samsung S6/S6 Edge, you can use the specific color to distinguish the caller even if the phone is placed screen down on the table. This is a thoughtful little feature that iPhones don't have.

6. Mobile payment in any store

Samsung Pay is a mobile payment service launched by Samsung, and currently supports models including Samsung S6 and S6 Edge. Although Apple Pay was launched earlier, it only supports NFC payment, which not only has certain requirements on the user's payment hardware, but also requires merchants to replace new POS terminals. Samsung Pay is characterized by its compatibility with the old POS standard, which makes it easier to popularize in the early stage.

7. Tracking autofocus technology

Samsung S6/S6 Edge is not only equipped with a new camera, but also supports tracking focus technology. Like many digital cameras, as long as you focus on a moving object, it can continue to track it, which is very convenient.

8. Quickly open the camera

When the Samsung S6/S6 Edge is in sleep mode, you only need to double-click the Home button to open the camera and take a photo. The whole process takes less than 1 second, and you can capture any scene, which is impressive. In contrast, the iPhone still needs a step to unlock the camera, and it cannot achieve such a fast capture experience.

9. Use your phone as a remote control

Samsung's S6 has a built-in infrared sensor that allows it to remotely control compatible home appliances directly through the app; iPhone users have to buy third-party accessories to achieve this.

10. Monitor your heart rate

Samsung S6/S6 Edge has a built-in heart rate sensor, which can monitor the user's heart rate more accurately. Although iPhones can install applications and use the rear camera and flash to measure heart rate, the results are often not accurate enough.
