The interest level ahead of Samsung’s recent Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge unveiling really wasn’t that high. After 2015’s big Galaxy S5 letdown, smartphone fans didn’t really expect all that much despite all the leaks, and they were seemingly hesitant to raise expectations ahead of the S6 event.

Now that we’ve seen the new phones, things have obviously changed quite a bit. The buzz couldn’t be much higher at this point as people wait eagerly for the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge to launch next month — or could it?

You’ve seen the images and videos of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, but now it’s time to take a look at what these two beastly new flagship phones can do.
