The Galaxy S6 is fi nally here – but will it
have the ‘six appeal’ to revive Samsung’s
fl agging fortunes? Addressing the two
biggest criticisms of the S5 – cheap plastic
build, too many features – the S6 is a super-slim
handset made from airplane-grade aluminum,
with a streamlined interface, and a new mobile
payment system to rival Apple Pay. Find out
what we thought of it when we got hands-on at
the launch event from page 14.
On the same day the S6 was announced, HTC
also launched its new fl agship, the One (M9).
While the surprise was ruined by leaks images
online a few days before, the Tawainese
company still managed to hold back its biggest
announcement: The HTC Vive. Created with
games manufacturer Valve, the HTC Vive is a
virtual reality headset to play PC games.However, this is just the beginning for HTC. Find
out how its partnering with big names to
produce a fi tness tracker and more from page- Like this? See our review of the 64-bit HTC
Desire 820 on page 70.

What’s your favourite feature of
the Samsung Galax y S6?Jack Parsons
Deputy Editor
I am excited to try the S
Edge’s curved screen.
With simplifi ed features it
seems a lot less gimmicky
than the Note Edge.

Staff Writer
The screen’s pixel density
is just incredible. 577ppi will
make gaming and watching
videos fantastic, even if it
eats up the battery.
Siobhan Maguire
Production Editor
The super-fast charging
battery will be really
handy if your out and
about and your battery
needs a sudden boost!Adam Markiewicz

As a long-time Samsung
user, I’m impressed by the
S6’s metallic redesign. I’m
glad it still comes in a
range of bright colours.ww.fi lesilo.co.uk/android
