Samsung unveils Galaxy S6 to rival Apples Iphone6

Designed from scratch in an operation dubbed "project zero", the galaxy S6 and its curved-edges variant, Galaxy S6 Edge, are critical for Samsung's plans to reverse plunging smartphone revenues that led to its first annual earnings' fall in three years in the year 2014.

The phone's stand-out features include casing made from light-weight metal used in airplanes, a step up from the plastic that disappointed many critics of the S5, and Corning Inc's Gorilla Glass on both front and back.

MOST ADVANCED SMARTPHONES IN THE WORLD

"Our goal was simple: the most beautiful smartphones in samsung's history. And the most advanced smartphones in the world," Said J.K. Shin, Samsung's president and chief executive.

Said he: "That is what comes next… This is Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. These are the best and fastest smartphones in the world. With capabilities nobody else can match. But that is not all: to use a technical and engineering tone: It is cool."

The Galaxy S6 upgrades the previous version's camera and screen, and strips out many of Samsung's unpopular in-house software apps that infuriated users by gobbling memory.

Samsung is yet to disclose pricing or where the phones will appear first but said on Sunday that the phone will go on sale in 20 countries.

The revamped Galaxy phones, unveiled at the mobile world congress in Barcelona will hit the market the market on april 10.
