Samsung Galaxy S6 edge review: Double down

3 April, 2015
How big of an impact can a small change have? The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge has only the extra screen curves compared to the vanilla Galaxy S6, but these two phones couldn’t feel any more different - a difference that you can readily feel when you...

hi guys.. need some opinions here.
im using s6, & as much as i love it, i still want to try the edge .

my main concerns on edge :

1. the color bleeding & glare/reflective right at the Edge, is it very obvious?

2. read that edge max brightness on manual setting is much lower than s6. would that be problem?

3. both on same size but due to edges on both sides, does edge main screen appear smaller on hand/use?

4. some reported of pink effect onscreen (didnt came across on any review), can claim on warranty or not?

5. does auto rotate problem still exist?

6. also, read that edge has connection/drop call issues, is it serious?

also i would be thankful i you guys can enlighten me on any other issues that plaguing edge but not on standards s6.

read/watch so many review & it seems s6 is a better version,
i also have no issue with s6, just that i like edge's beauty, so wonder if that is worth some tradeOff?

50/50 & having a 2nd thought while i'm about to change tomorrow..
thanks a lot guys

                  You state in your article that you can integrate picasa (google) photos in the gallery. I sure wish you'd tell me how. I'm not finding a way to do this.

You don't really have much of a point! The only criticism of the S6/Edge S6 is battery life which is below par, everything else is pretty much on a par or better than everything else out there and you can take that to the bank!

                                It's a fantastic looking phone and it's fast, but I won't buy one because they took away water and dust protection and at the same time it lacks the user-replaceable battery and a microSD slot.

                                If they're going to keep taking away key features there's no way I'm paying a premium price, no matter how good it looks.

                                  Picked up the 128GB White Edge probably the best phone I've used.

                                  So far with the necessary apps, emails, social media stuff and 4 games I've only used 15% total storage. That's still 105GB internel memory left.

                                  I've recorded a few videos and taken a dozen so photos at full resolution. I think anyone who is complaining about lack of an SD card, should just grab the 64GB model seriopusly. I used to have all my songs on my 32GB SD card but now since signing up to Spotify with the ability to stream/download the songs I want makes life so much easier.

                                  Don't think I'll be filling this phoen up anytime soon until going on my overseas trip and taking hundreds of photos and videos.

                                  Then I'll just upload them to my 100GB One Drive storage BOOM!

But if it's not there, they should be in the the drawer's full menu. Just hit the button next to setting button on that notification drawer, and you'll see it. You can drag them up to the shortcut drawer for your easier access on your notif drawer next time you want to access your private mode.

                                        Amazing review, but can you tell me how to access the private mode on the galaxy s6 Edge? I couldn't find it! I found it easily on the regular S6 but not on the S6 edge. it appear that the pictures you used to refer the private mode of the s6 edge, are from the s6, can you. can you help me.
                                        Thank you.
