One week after Samsung wowed the world with the announcement of its latest flagship smartphones in New York City, the Galaxy S6 edge+ has hit store shelves in the select markets including U.S., Canada, Hong Kong and Korea. Now consumers can see for themselves the stunning design and cutting-edge technology that makes the Galaxy S6 edge+ the ultimate multimedia device.

With a 5.7-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display, the Galaxy S6 edge+ offers the biggest screen yet in the Galaxy S series of smartphones, along with a dual-edge display for a truly immersive viewing experience. But despite the larger screen, the Galaxy S6 edge+ provides a perfect fit for your hand thanks to a slimmer and sleeker design.

The Galaxy S6 edge+ also features a wide range of enhancements, including Video Digital Image Stabilization on both the front and rear cameras, allowing for sharp, clear videos and the ability to share those videos easily via YouTube with the built-in Live Broadcast function.

Furthermore, the signature curved edges of the phone now have an “Apps edge” function, making accessing your favorite applications quick and easy. It joins the “People edge” function, allowing users to send emoticons and handwritten memos to friends.

The release of the new smartphone was accompanied by the debut of a new TV commercial, highlighting the unprecedented innovations of the Galaxy S6 edge+.

Samsung’s other flagship phone, the Galaxy Note5, is already on sale in several countries around the world.

Technology leader Samsung Electronics and global health service company Cigna announced a new version of the Coach by Cigna mobile application, which uses simple questions to identify users’ personality type, understand their wants, needs and preferences, and provide the appropriate programs to help with diet, exercise, sleep, stress and weight.

“Samsung is committed to providing our users with mobile health solutions that go above and beyond what is currently available in the market,” said Yong Jin Lee, head of Health R&D Group at Samsung Electronics. “By partnering with Cigna, we can put advanced health technology into the hands of our users, making our applications an informative and integral part of their everyday lives.”

Coach by Cigna identifies personality types such as “Planner,” “Day Dreamer” or “Explorer” and determines aptitude levels (for example, whether a person is disciplined or needs an extra push), to help prioritize their health and understanding of health issues.

The application also puts health, diet and fitness programs in the hands of Galaxy users, providing instructional videos and support from health coaches to help users focus on improvements in five categories: nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress and weight management.

“Cigna aims to find effective ways to help people achieve healthier, more secure lives,” said Heather Valteris, Cigna Global Head of Channel and Partnership Marketing. “We tested, we learned and now we’re putting our expertise into our next generation of Coach by Cigna. With several simple questions, we can get to know you and your preferences, and the best ways to help get you to where you want to be.”

Users can personalize their health goals and select recommended programs with Coach by Cigna, which supports them with motivational messaging. It also provides quantifiable health activities and achievement badges, ensuring users can record their successes.

Coach by Cigna’s programs complement Samsung’s S Health application. S Health is an all-in-one companion for people who want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. With the new S Health, users can track their everyday activities, receive coaching to reach their daily goals, and improve their fitness with various training programs. Users can also measure and understand their health progress with built-in-sensors for heart rate and SpO2 (oxygen saturation) on Samsung Galaxy and Gear devices.

The Captain America star attended a press conference for the highly anticipated Marvel film along with fellow cast members at the Conrad Seoul Hotel before moving on to a Korea fan event at the SETEC.

After taking selfies with his Galaxy S6 with fans before the film’s premiere at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood earlier this week, the American actor was at it again during Friday’s fan event.

“When I go to a premiere, I like to take selfies with the fans. It’s fun to thank them for the support. The selfie camera in my Galaxy S6 is fast enough to capture the photos and the quality is great,” said Chris Evans.

As part of Samsung’s partnership with Marvel Entertainment, Samsung is offering a variety of accessories and features for Galaxy S6 inspired by the Avengers: Age of Ultron. Evans, also had the opportunity to check out Samsung’s line of Avengers-themed phone covers and Themes for the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge. The Avengers Themes allow users to give their device’s icons, applications and home and lock screens an Avengers look.

“I love the Avengers cases that Samsung created for the Galaxy S6. It’s weird to see my face on a phone cover, but I appreciate the love the Korean fans are showing using these cases,” said Chris Evans.

Viewers should also be able to spot a variety of Samsung devices in Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron after it is released.
