Choosing between the Galaxy Note5 and S6 edge+ is tough, Chrissy Teigen will tell you

14 August, 2015
No matter how hard Samsung tries to persuade you that the Galaxy Note5 and Galaxy S6 edge+ are two very different devices with distinct target audiences, there's no escaping the fact that both of them are similarly sized 5.7-inch phablets with identical hardware.

Why does that 'I don't know what nerd thought of this...' line bother me so much? Do 'hip and cool' people still think it's hip and cool to call smart people nerds? Without these 'nerds', cute people who don't contribute anything to society would fall by the wayside. Seriously, what do these people do that is useful for anyone but themselves?

Ooh, I can't stand celebrities.

              using a stylus on an edge display isn't that practial. And it probably cost a lot extra to make the sensoring layer for the S Pen curved as well.

              So I do get why they skipped the Note5 Edge.

              But why didnt they release an S6+ as well?
              Without the S Pen and the sensoring layer, it would have been thinner. Thinner still than the S6 Edge+. And the upcoming iPhone 6s Plus will probably not come with a built in pen.
              And it would have been cheaper.

              Sure that curve does make the device more attractive, but it makes the effective display area smaller.

                Nawaf, 15 Aug 2015Removing SD card is a BIG disappointment for me ,i dont car... moreUsers logic, no spen on s6 edge+, buy LG instead while wanting a curved screen with dual edge. What the heck? There are an even worst one. User logic no.2: "I have sd card and this new Note5 and S6 edge+ have no sd slot? Thats it. Im buying an iphone 6." Well, it hard to reason with silly people.

                  "I don't know what nerd came up with that..."

                  Yup, that sums up how people think about engineers, just some nerds. Nice touch Samsung.

                          Removing SD card is a BIG disappointment for me ,i dont care about battery removal cuz i never changed my phones battery. & my 2nd disappointment is ,why no Note 5 edge. I really wanted to test edge but with stylus too. Right now am thinking to change to lg or something (android-bsed) else but still couldn't figure it out yet.

                                    I like Note 5 better, because I want the S-Pen... However, I'l stick with my Note 4, because of the leather back. I HATE the back of S6 Edge...
