The Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge will be available for purchase from April 10. Analysts are of the view that both the devices will break sales records.

According to Reuters , the South Korea tech giant feels it will hit record shipments for the Galaxy S6 but it may encounter problems in dealing with the demand for the curved screen edition, the Galaxy S6 Edge. It expects that the Galaxy S6 will sell more compared to its edge screen variant.

On Thursday, J.K. Shin, the CEO of Samsung Mobile expressed that the company may not be able to meet the high demand for the Galaxy S6 Edge because manufacturing curved screens is not easy. In a report that was published by AnTuTu, it ranked the leading 10 smartphones by performance in the first quarter of 2015.

The findings from the report are quite interesting, as the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge emerge the top scorers in the chart. The worldly looks coupled by the top-notch specs are things that make the Samsung’s Galaxy line of phones an impressive one often beating Android phones for 2015.

The two phones Galaxy S6 and S6 edge managed to scoop more scores than every other phone including the HTC One M9, which was rated third. From the AnTuTu study, the Galaxy S6 became the better version after it scored 67,520 points on the chart while the curved model also referred to as Galaxy S6 edge managed to get itself a score of 62,373 points.

Closely following the Galaxy line was the HTC One M9, which picked the third position with a score of 52,709 points. Other phones that followed closely are the Galaxy S5 the European version and the Meizu MX4 not to mention the Google Nexus 6. In addition to presenting the top smartphones that have scored well in terms of performance, AnTuTu also presented a chart that showed the leading 10 processors and the topping 10 GPU chips.

From the tests, it was revealed that the chip found on Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, which is the 14nm 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 System-on-Chip, was able to outweigh the new Snapdragon 810 processor in terms of graphics and CPU performance.
