With the 5.1-inch SuperAMOLED Quad HD screen Samsung sets new standards and achieved in the test report a new top mark in the display rating. The dimensions are not equal. On the contrary: While the display - like its predecessor - measures 5.1 inches, the smartphone dimensions have actually declined. The successor to the S5 has become so compact. Thus, the trend is for ever larger XL-phone seems to a halt. Even the One M9 HTC remains in terms of dimensions at the level of the M8.- The improvements are in contrast screen itself. For the same area brings to the now much more pixels. While the S5 already very good Full HD with 1920 x 1080 pixels shows, trumps the S6 (as Edge) with a Quad HD display at 2560 x 1440 pixels light up to the bet. This provides the test an image Skerry, acting as printed. Individual pixels can not be distinguished with the best intentions. The pixel density is approximately twice as high as the limit at which you can still see in some pixels stages: "Ultra Sharp" concludes the computer screen.
- The luminosity is tremendous. The brightness is particularly surprising because it is a Super AMOLED screen. These have traditionally actually the problem, not quite as bright to shine like other top panels. But this is no longer an issue for the new flagship. On the contrary, even in sunlight, the smartphone was well read and had no relevant weaknesses.

Dual-SIM Control
The two SIM cards can basically each use as usual. The controller which SIM is used for what purpose is, very clearly integrated into the Android "Settings" menu. Basically, both numbers are available for all functions.- Phone calls : Before dialing can be selected directly on the onscreen keyboard by symbol, whether you want to run the following telephone conversation with Card 1 or. 2 If you yourself called, displays the S6, which SIM card receives the call. To make it more easily, you can specify both its own name as well as a separate icon for each card.
- Accessibility : it is always available on both mobile numbers. Peculiarity is the situation when already on a call on a line. Then the other line is currently not available for discussions - yet you can still be reached on this other number if you want to. In this case, you can specify a call forwarding menu. In SIM Manager is chosen for "Dual SIM always on '. This is very easy with no numbers-Tipperei. It simply defines which SIM (1, 2 or both) unavailability for each other redirect. For this forwarding may incur additional costs because it redirects to another mobile phone, depending on the calling plan.
- Mobile Internet : browsing with 3G or 4G is supported by both SIM slots, but not simultaneously. Which one to SIM via LTE or UMTS want to surf, you specifies in the settings. The selection can be changed at any time during operation, without the smartphone off for it. The much slower 2G (GPRS / EDGE) is automatically supported by both cards. For this purpose, no determination is necessary. A special highlight: the Download Booster . If you activate this function in the Verbinungseinstellungen, you can receive data faster. Because this WLAN and mobile are combined, so that one receives data in parallel via mobile and wireless network. The worthwhile primarily for very large files such as videos, apps and the like. To activate the Booster, but is recommended also for another reason. Even the download limit of 30 MB per file is released in parallel.
What SIM cards fit into the flagship?
The SIM tray can accommodate two nano-SIM cards. This makes the smartphone the now standard SIM size joins as about a iPhone 6 and HTC One M9 dual SIM own. But the phone also works with only one SIM card. Who yet another format used (eg micro-SIM) can make a SIM swap at its carrier. While this is sometimes a fee, but safer than cutting a SIM.What does the Galaxy S6 Duos?
