Galaxy S6 edge vs. Galaxy Note Edge: A camera shootout

7 March 2015
We had the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge with us for a short time so we took a stroll though Barcelona with a Galaxy Note Edge also in our pocket for an impromptu shootout. We took some photos and videos and hurried back to HQ to compare them...

    Shogun, 08 Mar 2015Look at the speed comparison between Samsung new UFS 2.0 in... moreExcept many people don't need speed. So CHOICE is the key word here. Why should i pay for something i don't need (And yet i need more space)? And pay multiple times at that (With every new "premium" device).

      Muthu, 08 Mar 2015I kinda agree with you completely. This is a stupid move fr... moreI don't think they were forced to them, they just misunderstood. Sure, there were many Apple/Sony fan-boys and shills who kept bashing the plastic back, but not only they probably won't buy a Samsung anyway, but their recently bad seles were not because of the design. They were bad exactly because we are not Apple fan-boys and we want more for the money (And yes, they were not only not good enough, but expensive too, especially low-mid range devices, which were total joke). So what did they do? Exactly the opposite of what they had to. More expensive and more "premium" (Meaning less emphasis on the tech/practical aspect).

Which is getting totally ridiculous as smartphones nowadays are something totally common and not exactly a thing to brag with

          i wonder how people will react when the s6/edge sales prove the general public are less anal than the whiny kids on these boards.

            S6 edge does not have SD Card Slot. :-(

                  with SD card:
                  16GB = $11.90
                  32GB = $17.85
                  64GB = $23.8

                  That explains why Samsung needs profits on SD cards by having $100 for additional memory on S6 in trying to pull up declining profits.

                    Anonymous, 08 Mar 2015Right? Some people may not want it or care about. That's th... moreEven if you have 128GB internal, a microSD is great to have. It is convenient in many ways. Personally it's not a deal breaker not having microSD but if a phone doesn't support USB OTG and Direct transfer when using with PC then for me it's not even worth to be called a "smartphone". This is probably the basic reason I never considered getting an iPhone.

This is a stupid move from Samsung - to remove SD card slot and replaceable battery. Doing away with replaceable battery - I understand. It was a choice between old design (admittedly with an unique advantage) which was critized heavily Vs new design which was kind of forced on them. But doing away with SD slot - the significant advantage over idevices. Very hard to understand why Samsung wants to lose a weapon on their armour. This is not going to bring icustomers to Samsung in any case. S6 sales will teach them a huge lesson and possibly the start of Nokia level slide into losses.

                        "HTC already has one even if it didn't have a camera to make proper use of it"

                        It's up to the user to make proper use of a manual mode not a camera. Blind ignorance at it's finest.

                          Yes OTG is useful, but should not be a forced replacement. And cloud is anything but the same as having swappable physical storage that fits right in.

                          Yes the newer much faster and more efficient storage in higher amounts is great. But should still have a slot to go with it.
                          And the USB 3.0 would have greatly benefited.

                                  People who say lack of sd is no big deal totally lack common sense or/and self-respect; OR are corporate shills.

                                  So i have to pay tons of money for more expensive internal money and not only that, but i have to do it again with my next phone? Cloud? Sure, cause it has so much in common with physical storage, which is for real-time usage, while cloud is for backup. Your logic: Why eating breat when you can always drink Soda"? USB OTG? Sure, cause it's perfectly comfortable to use your phone with a usb flash hanging (And it's especially "comfortable" to plug/unplug every time you need to charge your phone. Which can be more than once a day. Which reminds me an external battery should also be plugged to it..)

                                    I don't know certain, but I believe the egde model will be a good seller, unless the price difference is too much.

                                    It won't be anywhere near of apples iPhone, but let Sammy care about that that.

                                    Excellent product this edge... The regular I don't like that much much

And I use almost all its space. So, unless they sell the 128gb version here, it's useless to me. But they won't sell it here. Only the 32Gb. I'm praying they don't make the note 5 without a card slot.
