Samsung’s best yet have finally arrived. Photo: Samsung

Samsung’s love affair with cheap, tacky plastic is on hold for its stunning new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.

Unveiled today at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the new handsets pull out all the stops in an effort to reverse Samsung’s declining smartphone sales and mount a new challenge against Apple’s most popular iPhones to date.

They sport all-new designs made out of premium materials, and vastly improved software that promises a better user experience. But they aren’t without their own compromises.

In just a few hours, Samsung will be kicking off its Unpacked event at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It’s going to be the South Korean company’s biggest event of 2015, with both the Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge expected — and you can watch the whole thing live right here.

We still have several hours to wait for Samsung’s Unpacked event, but thanks to the video below, we’ve got another early glimpse at the new Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. It’s the first time both devices have appeared on video, and it’s our best look at them yet.

Yes, I know, Samsung’s latest smartphones don’t look all that spectacular in the recent photo leaks. But I’ve been confident that better images would do them justice, and the latest, which show off the Galaxy S6 Edge once again, prove me right.

When Apple’s Greg Joswiak first introduced the EarPods on stage at the iPhone 5 event in 2012, he said they “look unlike any headphone you’ve ever seen before.” Samsung won’t be able to say the same for its new earphones, however, because they are essentially EarPods clones.

It has taken a lot longer than we anticipated, but the South Korean company has finally gotten around to launching an EarPods ripoff of its own, and it’s expected to come bundled with the upcoming Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
