The Galaxy S6 edge was wildly popular, so why not offer it in a bigger flavor? That's precisely what Samsung did, and what ended up coming out of it was even better than the first time.

3:08 "only one edge is ever useful at a time" 6:06 "software that makes use of every inch of the screen" The opinion seems a bit inconsistent here =p But hey! you still did an excellent job with the review! You keep getting better every time, keep it up :)

@Tigermoto 8 жыл бұрын

+Marnnador Only one edge of the screen used at a time while screen off. Software while using the phone (Screen on) uses both edges rather well....

+Lee Butterworth Fair enough. Its just a funny little inconstancy in the review is all, no harm done :) But I am just nit picking here, my comment shouldn't be taken seriously.

I replaced my note 3 for s6 edge plus couple of weeks ago and I'm very happy with it. The battery life is great, screen is mindblowing, feel in the hand is far better. And the design. My God this phone looks like a beast. All of that and the insanely fast charging makes the edge plus superior in my opinion.

it may be more difficult to hold onto than the note 5 but it feels more comfortable to hold than the note 4 which I argue was even wider. Being a narrower frame makes it easier to hold for me personally. I love my Edge Plus.

The issue with Samsung lately is that their phones have the worst RAM management issues from what I have heard. Considering they have some of the most expensive phones you can buy and they've got a ridiculous amount of RAM inside of them this shouldn't be an issue. Phones lagged back when they were only beginning to become popular, it's 2015 and smartphones still somehow have lag. That's the main reason I switched away from Android phones.

I have had alot of samsung devices including the s7 edge, I like this phone better than the note 5 and or the s7 edge. It just feels done right. I love the big screen and the camera is awesome. With nougat 7.0, this is a beautiful phone. It has an amazing processor....better battery life than the note 5. Its just a great phone! I also have the 64GB version so i dont worry about storage. Since i waited this long to get it, I only paid 300 for mine. DEAL! I dont like how samsung reduced the megapixels to 12 for the s7 edge and the s8 series....this phone is the perfect balance. Its superfast too. I

Hi! Do you think the S6 Edge Plus is worth buying NOW despite the limited Edge functionality? I had a Note Edge before and IMO, I'd say that it's blessed with the full Edge functionality. So it got me thinking that the Edge Plus maybe is a project that will still be polished (probably next gen). I'm leaning on the S6 Edge Plus that's why I want to know your side on this one. If it's indeed a work on process, then I'd probably go with the Note 5 for now and wait for next year to see the improvements on this. I'm not really a Stylus guy that's why when this line came out - it got me wanting this right away.

Samsung has been making really nice phones lately, however, there are some people like me that don't like android. I know it sounds weird, but we do exist. It would be nice if more manufactures made Windows Phone editions of their flagships, like the HTC M8. This probably will happen overtime since this platform is not as popular as iOS/Android yet...

well... right now i have the note 5 and i was having such a hard time choosing between the new phablets. I chose the note due to hiw it feels in my hand, also because the employes at the store also suggested the note over the edge+. but i will admit i am more of a multi media user like a lot of youtube, twitch (when it actually works), and twitter. Is the note still right for me? i am enjoying the hell outa it but would it be better to get the edge+ before its too late.

i had the s6 edge upraded to s6 edge+ because there was no note 5 64gb available in australia. And after having previous note 3 and 4's i was missing the size of the phone in my hands. The battery life of the s6 edge was atrocious. On the S6 edge plus i barely use 30 - 40 % in a day. I would recommend it
