Abe Olandres Leave a comment

Two possible handsets are set to be unveiled next month, the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, as Samsung is holding an Unpack event in New York on August 13, 2015.

This is according to a source that told us the global launch will be held at the Lincoln Center in New York in the morning of August 13 (August 12 in the Philippines).

While it’s not yet official, it is most likely that it will be the Galaxy Note 5 which is usually announced during IFA in Berlin but is making an early entrance this year. The Galaxy S6 Edge Plus may also make an appearance as early leaks have been spreading around for weeks now.

As usual, we will be there to give you the on-the-ground details of what will be launched that day.

For all the Avengers fans out there (especially Iron Man’s), you might want to check this out. Samsung posts its official teaser photo of the special edition Galaxy S6 Edge.

We’ve reported earlier this month that the South Korean company is set to produce new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge variants that aesthetically feature the popular red suit of Marvel’s Tony Stark. Looks like it will be pushing through since we’re now introduced to the photo of its packaging. Although it’s just a box, we think it’s enough to make fans of the franchise squee for now (I know I did).

The teaser says “Coming Soon” and by that it’s likely to arrive at the end of this month or early June as reported. Excited? So are we.

What happens when you drop a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge?

Samsung‘s Galaxy S6 Edge is a beautiful device with its screen extending to both edges. The display is also reinforced with Corning’s Gorilla Glass 4 which should offer better protection than commonly-used displays, but what happens when you subject it to a drop test?

A user in China did this test on a functioning S6 Edge. She repeatedly smashed (not just dropped) the phone on the floor and it still worked fine afterwards with no visible cracks. You can watch the video below.

However, YouTube account TechRax did the same test but instead of just smashing the phone on on the ground he dropped the phone in different angles. Unfortunately, his S6 Edge’s display and glass body weren’t lucky enough to survive it.

As you could see, just one drop on its back and front already resulted to some nasty cracks. He could still navigate the phone but visibility greatly suffered. The lesson we could get here? There is still a great chance of the glass shattering when dropped even if it’s protected by the latest Gorilla Glass. Whether or not its display easily cracks it’s still best to buy a protective case for your S6 Edge if you care for it so much and you couldn’t stand a slight scratch on the side.
