the tech world\u00a0as they unveiled their new Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge phones at the Mobile World Congress\u00a0in Barcelona. \u00a0They&#8217;ve exchanged their usual plastic casing for premium glass and metal and the resulting devices are quite spectacular. \u00a0In fact the curved glass front of the S6 Edge looks like quite a feat in modern architecture. \u00a0It is not just a pretty face though, there is a useful feature behind its curves, which includes a service called\u00a0People Edge. \u00a0People Edge allows the phone owner choose 5 contacts to pull up easily from the edge and also attributes each of these contacts with a colour so you can easily see who is calling, even if the phone is face down.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_8419\" style=\"width: 522px\" class=\"wp-caption

Samsung.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While the aesthetic changes are welcome, some Samsung\u00a0aficionados are complaining about the loss of features including the removable battery and expandable storage. \u00a0Although it was certainly handy to be able to carry an extra battery around so you wouldn&#8217;t have to worry about finding a plug for your charger, Samsung have compensated for this with a new super fast wireless charger, proposing to charge the battery up to 50% within 30 minutes. \u00a0And regarding storage, while it isn&#8217;t expandable, it has expanded its storage choices to 64GB and 128GB capacities.<\/p>\n<p>At Goldgenie, we can&#8217;t wait to get our hands on the devices (rumoured to arrive on the market on the 10th April) and give them our Midas Touch. \u00a0Having mastered embellishing the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/gold-samsung.php\">Samsung Galaxy S5 and Alpha in 24k Gold<\/a> (quite an achievement on a polycarbonates surface!), we cannot wait to add these beautiful phones to our luxury customised collections.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldgenie.com\/gold-samsung.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
