Samsung unveiled its latest Galaxy S smartphones featuring a slim body made from aircraft-grade metal, in a bid to reclaim its throne as undisputed global smartphone leader from Apple.

The right side of the new Samsung Galaxy S 6 is composed of brushed aluminum, and there’s an oval-shaped, depressed contour that makes the sole button, a wake/sleep key, flush with the outermost edge. The GS6’s right side also houses a SIM card tray that can be removed with a safety pin or other similar object.
