A new West German headquartered Auto Union was launched in Ingolstadt with loans from the Bavarian state government and Marshall Plan aid. The Ingolstadt site was large, consisting of an extensive complex of formerly military buildings which was suitable for administration as well as vehicle warehousing and distribution, but at this stage there was at Ingolstadt no dedicated plant suitable for mass production of automobiles: for manufacturing the company's first post- war mass- market passenger car plant capacity in D.

Initially, Volkswagen was hostile to the idea of Auto Union as a standalone entity producing its own models having acquired the company merely to boost its own production capacity through the Ingolstadt assembly plant – to the point where Volkswagen executives ordered that the Auto Union name and flags bearing the four rings were removed from the factory buildings. Then VW chief Heinz Nordhoff explicitly forbade Auto Union from any further product development. Fearing that the Volkswagen had no long term ambition for the Audi brand, Auto Union engineers under the leadership of Ludwig Kraus developed the first Audi 1. Nordhoff's knowledge. When presented with a finished prototype, Nordhoff was so impressed he authorised the car for production, which when launched in 1.

In 1. 96. 9, Auto Union merged with NSU, based in Neckarsulm, near Stuttgart. In the 1. 95. 0s, NSU had been the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles, but had moved on to produce small cars like the NSU Prinz, the TT and TTS versions of which are still popular as vintage race cars.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 was an important device, changing Samsung's focus and shifting to a better design outlook. It laid the groundwork for the fantastic S7 and possibly the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8. Samsung will also update the S6 to Android 7. Nougat in the coming months, giving your phone a new lease of life. Considering it still has a great screen and camera, there's still a lot to like about this phone. Read on for our original full review. What is the Samsung Galaxy S6? One of the finest phones of the year, we recently gave the Samsung Galaxy S6 – and its curvier S6 Edge cousin – the Trusted Reviews Smartphone of the Year award. Thanks to a more affordable price, the S6 is still one of the best Android phones you can buy right now. It's got a sharp screen, stunning camera, slick build and it's a lot more compact than most other similarly specced phones on the market. If the S6 Edge+ is simply too big for you and you're not keen on going over to IOS with the i. Phone 6. S, the Galaxy S6 is a great choice. Buy Now: Galaxy S6 on O2 (3. GB) – . The Galaxy S6 Edge is arguably the more stylish of the two, but you only need to spend more for it if you really want to. Smooth Gorilla Glass 4 front and rear, and aluminium alloy bands on the sides, means looks and feels like flagship phone. Unlike last year’s S5, the S6 feels like it’s worth over . That’s important. Related: Best Smartphones and Mobile Phones. Less successful are some of the colour options, though. The brighter colours also tend to be fingerprint magnets so keep a spare cloth handy if you opt for one of those. Some finishes have a slight dual tonality to them, so they appear to change colour depending on how the light shines on them. The effect is more subtle than the pink/gold combo on the HTC M9, but it can still look a little tacky, particularly in Blue Topaz and Gold Platinum. Related: Samsung Galaxy S6 vs Galaxy S5 Specs Comparison. The phone is light but still feels solid, and it’s slimmer than the Galaxy S5. In fact, despite its large 5. Phone 5. S. Thin metal volume and power keys live on opposite sides, which helps avoid accidentally pressing power key as we experienced with the HTC One M9. One move that doesn’t work so well is the speaker placement. It now sits awkwardly at the base of the phone, rather than the back as it did on the Galaxy S5. Neither placement is particularly helpful, as they’re easy to block when held normally. This muffles the sound in the natural way you'd hold it while playing a game or watching a movie. Another issue is that the home key is slightly raised, making it easy to press accidentally while it's in your pocket. Related: Samsung Galaxy S6 Tips and Tricks. The S6 and S5 look very similar from the front. The rear of the phone is a less of a design success. The camera protrudes around 2mm making it look a little like a break- out on the face of an unfortunate teenager. Some people will be bothered less than others but the key point is that it slides in and out of your pocket easily thanks to sloped edges. The SIM- tray sits flush with the side and if you can keep hold of the annoyingly elusive SIM- ejector tool or use a paperclip, the tray pops out firmly without too much difficulty. Related: Best Samsung Galaxy S6 cases. There are a couple more genuine drawbacks to the spanking new Galaxy S6’s design, though. Glass may be easy to grip but it’s so super smooth that the S6 dives off many surfaces like Michael Phelps at the first hint of a starting whistle – we've caught the S6 on the edge of possible destruction on numerous occasions during our time reviewing it. Using a case or resting the phone on a textured surface reduces the frequency of these suicide dives, but a less slippery finish might have been better. It's swings and roundabouts though. We prefer the look of the Glass- backed Galaxy S6 but felt safer with the S5's grippy, dimpled back. The S6 isn't waterproof like the Galaxy S5, so you need to take more care than before. Mind you, we’ll be surprised if Samsung doesn’t release an IP- rated Galaxy S6 . Only the LG G4 and Galaxy Note 4 can match it for sharpness, but the Super AMOLED panel on the S6 is cut above in every other respect. Compared to most LCD- screened phones the Galaxy S6’s screen is more vibrant, though Full HD (1. The S5’s screen is just as vibrant as the S6, but the S6 produces cleaner, more natural whites. Whites look slightly blue on the S5, while the S6 looks closer to the i. Phone 6, which is the best in this department. Related: Samsung Galaxy S6 vs S6 Edge. The S6 vs the S5 pixel density. But there’s no doubting which has the best contrast. AMOLED screens don’t have a traditional backlight, which means blacks appear perfectly black. This means videos and photos look fantastic, while the punchier colours outshine the i. Phone 6 as well. It looks great indoors and holds up well even in direct sunlight.

Wiz UI allows you to adjust the display colours to fit the user’s preferences, and we found that the AMOLED Photo setting produced the most colour faithful results without heavily sacrificing vibrancy. Apple’s i. Phone 6 is the benchmark for colour accuracy but the Galaxy S6 is closer to the i. Phone than any other phone we've seen.
