hii guys,
i am hoping to buy a GS6 or GS6 EDGE soon, but i am confused which one to buy. I like the EDGE look not the feel.Its a new tech and i wish to have it, but it felt more comfortable using the GS6 than the edge version and it feels little different watching video on GS6 EDGE. I am hoping to use this devise for a couple of years. so my question is will the EDGE version be more useful in the future or will it end up the same way the galaxy Round did ? And which one should i opt for fresh tech and long lasting performance? i know both are almost similar in all ways but the curved display makes lots of difference.

Overpriced? Maybe, for 1 or 2 months then the price will drop like rain. ask your manager what are these 2 first months for and the why for the over-price ;)

                  People may think this is a copy of the iPhone
                  6 because at a glance, it is. But when you
                  know deeper, it's a much much better version
                  than the iPhone 6, hence it is NOT a copy of
                  the iPhone, since a copy means an imitation
                  with the same or lesser quality than the
                  original. Wouldn't anyone agree with me? I
                  mean, first, the internal storage maybe
                  unexpandable, but it starts with twice the
                  capacity (32 GB version instead of 16 of the
                  iPhone) and it's the kind that is almost three
                  times faster than that of the iPhone 6.
                  And then there's the battery. Both maybe
                  non user removable, but the S6 is
                  guaranteed to last you much longer on a
                  single charge because of the 14nm CPU and
                  super amoled display and other tweaks,
                  there's also universal wireless charging built
                  in and the crazy fast charging to get you 4
                  hours in just 10 minutes of charging. Yet I
                  haven't even mention the innovative Ultra
                  Power Saving mode. Starting to get it? Then
                  there's the display. It's Super Amoled Quad
                  HD vs HD LCD. I know, right? Overkill. It's
                  like killing a fly with a bazooka. But hold up.
                  There's a reason for the overkill. Virtual
                  reality. It's something that the iPhone can
                  only dream of. Ok what else? Camera (s)?
                  It's like no competition from the cameras
                  specs alone. It's 16 & 5 MP of f/1.9 aperture
                  with OIS, auto HDR and infra red for white
                  balance. Need I say more? How about CPU/
                  GPU, performance, build quality, sensors, etc?
                  Hm.. Let's just say, it's really nothing like the
                  iPhone. It's on another level. :)

C'mon. There are always buttons for resetting the phones nowadays. Furthermore, if it is system wide hang, the OS will restart the phone itself. That said, if the phone hangs often, is time for you to send in your phone for services. Don't act like an expert here please.

                                  BTW, Samsung and S6 rocks!

                                      a battery that charges that fast will considerably loose it's power in 5-6 months and will almost have no use in 1-1.5 years.
