Just ahead of the Mobile World Congress wireless show that begins Monday in Barcelona, Samsung unveiled two new smartphones that boast a new look as well as technology for mobile payments. The South Korean phone manufacturer revealed the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge, which have metal frames with glass backs instead of Samsung's signature plastic design. The S6 Edge features a curved display that enables information to be read from the side. Both phones will incorporate mobile payment technology from LoopPay, a startup Samsung is buying. The new phones also have the ability to charge quickly, reaching 50% battery in 30 minutes. The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge will debut overseas on April 10.
