Samsung Galaxy S6, Any difference than S5? What's new about it?
Yes, there is a notable difference in S6 compared to S5. This is the first Galaxy S-series to feature a Quad HD screen(Although Note 4 has it) and runs Android Lollipop with revamped TouchWiz UI, which is based on Material Design guidelines. The new TouchWiz UI is said to be lighter, better (64-bit) optimized, and spot a cleaner and friendlier user interface.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 also spots its own in-house processor- Exynos 7420, an octa-core processor with 64-bit ARM Cortex A57 cores clocked at 2.1GHz, and another four ARM Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.5GHz.
The home button now has a fingerprint sensor embedded in it and supports mobile payments with the help of NFC and MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission).

Should I buy Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge?
This is the main point when choosing between these two smartphone. Samsung has announced both devices for different types of user. While the S6 Edge is somewhat a risky experiment done by Samsung, the S6 is a normal flagship phone with notable specs. Though there is no noticeable difference in specs of both phones, if you really care or love those sexy curves and can spare more cash for it than I would not hesitate to recommend S6 Edge to you. But if you have some tight budget ($650 is definitely not a small amount) and don't care about those curve (can be called a gimmick), you will still get those beefy specs on your S6. At last the decision will always be yours but you will definitely enjoy any of these phone.
