Samsung Galaxy S6 and its curved sibling have just been officially introduced at Mobile World Congress 2015 and will go on sale on April 10. However, they will only be available in 20 countries next month, while the rest of the world will get them later on.

Along with the announcement, Samsung has started its huge marketing machine for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge campaigns.

The first promotional video for the smartphones has just been released and it focuses on design and craftsmanship. The promo video will be aired all over the world, but it won't be the only one for sure.

The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge are a step forward for Samsung in terms of design. In fact, it's a step in a completely other direction, one that fans of the brand have been waiting for a long time.

Unfortunately, the new design comes at the expense of some functionality, like the lack of microSD card slot and the non-removable battery.

Although Samsung has thought of some solutions to compensate the absence of microSD card slot and of removable battery, they might not be accepted by many possible customers.

One thing is certain, Samsung Galaxy S6 does feel like a premium flagship smartphone, unlike some of the company's previous handsets.
