The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have been officially revealed at MWC 2015 on March 1st. I’ve been a fan of the Galaxy series since the first generation released 5 years ago in mid-2010 and I’m still using the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 at the moment. So, did the new Galaxy S6 impress me and should I continue upgrading my device? Let’s check out the new features.
