BatteryThe S6 Edge comes with a non removable battery. However, when you are on the go and are short on battery, not to worry, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has the ability to fast charge your battery when plugged into a charging cable. It is fast charging enabled when used with the supplied Generic UK adapter. It can deliver four hours of battery life from just 10 minutes of charging. How convenient! This allows you to watch upto 2 hours of HD video from just 10 minutes of charging.
CameraThe new smartphone packs a 16MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera capturing moments as they happen with a launch time of only 0.7 seconds. It also features Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) which allows the camera to use a slower shutter speed, allowing it to take in more light and keeps the image stable while you hold the camera, so you get less blur in your photos and less shake in your videos. You will be able to zoom upto 8X and still get amazing results.
IR White Balance Detection
The S6 Edge uses IR White Balance detection to detect the light around and adjust the camera to capture accurate colours and crisper blur-free images.

HDR (Rich tone)
HDR mode lets you take pictures and capture video when there is either too much or too little light. Auto Live HDR shows you a preview of how the photo will be taken in HDR, instead of showing you the dark or light preview. HDR photos are also taken quicker, cancelling out the need to stay still.
