There is already a lot of buzz about Samsung’s decision to seal the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge as part of the new design they incorporated for the devices. This is a change for many people who are used to being able to swap batteries and back covers. In the past, one option owners of Samsung smartphones had was to add a wireless charging capable back cover to their device. Without that option, Samsung took the challenge as an opportunity that may lead to easier charging and better energy management in their new devices.
Since the back cover is no longer removable, Samsung had to make a decision as to what kind of wireless charging they wanted to implement. The choice that was made was – both. The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge support WPC (Wireless Power Consortium) and PMA (Power Matters Alliance), so users can employ just about any wireless charging pad on the market. Even better for users, this support is built in to the devices, so it is available to everyone out of the box. In order to meet this need, Samsung had to rework the charging hardware to be quite a bit smaller – only .27mm thick, a third of the thickness of the same part used in the Galaxy S 5.
Besides the new, easier wireless charging capability, Samsung also made the devices faster charging. The Fast Charging technology the Samsung uses will charge the smartphones 1.5 times faster than the previous generation. The fast charging will also give users the ability to charge up with enough juice for four hours of use in only 10 minutes of charging.
Despite having a smaller battery than what some thought they would have, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge have been designed to work for 20 hours of typical use on a single charge. That should be plenty to make it through a typical day.
