Released earlier this April, the new Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are curving the way towards the future of smartphones. When it was announced in March 2015, a hardware redesign excited the tech community as Samsung expanded the touchscreen of the Galaxy phone to include touch edges. This new space phone the latest in the Galaxy series along with its sister phone the traditional, non-edge S6. Unlike previous versions, Samsung has done away with the removable plastic backing and opted for Gorilla glass and metal detailing. While the new materials are a highly anticipated change for Galaxy fans, many are disappointed the battery is no longer replaceable and the option for an external memory card is gone. In addition to the upgrades, Samsung announced they will release a second Gear VR innovator edition headset to accommodate the S6 series. While the Gear VR is not yet available for consumer purchase, the $200 price tag makes purchasing a Samsung smartphone an appealing option for virtual reality enthusiasts.
