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...

    Means I only care about SD cards, don't need to be here, and that you have to leave some over drawn rambling reply of self entitlement? No thanks. Got board after the first few lines.

      ithehappy, 06 Apr 2015Of course you don't know the answer, cause there isn't any! And now the real you shows. How cute. You think you know technology.
      Of course that cop out bias response from you completely neglects me telling you I would answer for you if you had a specific device in question.

      Try not being a stuck up troll. Some people might be willing to answer more questions then. Your attitude was just too obvious from the start and I have nothing to prove to your delusions.

              Samsung knows well its costumers. Samsung knows it can shock costumers by putting gimmicky features which has been proven effective for the last 5 years, however some of its costumer starts to feel bored on Samsung's latest phones, that's why Samsung introduced Galaxy S6 with curved display. I don't see the practical use of these side screens, even the demo Samsung failed to show its usefulness. This curved screen is just as useful as hover-your-hand-to-answer-a-call feature.

                Samsung seems to think that Offering the Curved Screen might Attract Alot of Consumers,but seem to have Over-Valued there New phones,but if it did Offer there Best Selling Options they use to Offer like the Removable Battery & Micro sd Card Slot plus Waterproofing it would Deserve its High Price,Samsung as let a lot of Galaxy phone users down be removing these options that people have been use to for Ages,an because of this i Chose the Note 4 over the Galaxy S6s,and made the Right Choice and can now wait and see what LG & Sony as Offer on the G4 or Z4

                        Anonymous, 05 Apr 2015And many like the SD slot too. And up into recently it wasn... moreBad internal storage capacity so far was making this sd slot totally necessary. I had to put a sdcard in all phones i owned with less than 32gb internal. Apple didn't have "too much" that problem since they had understood that proposing higher capacities than on Android devices each generation before since i4 would keep their users base on their side.

                        Now if you really want a sdcard for any reason, i don't see why you keep looking at this S6 Edge (and threads) since this phone is obviously not for you.

                        As a real nerd, as i was saying, i will just grab a 64gb (or more). I have enough hardware for workarounds on the go, at home and online to not even ask myself about "what if" like you all do. That's your problem if you can't manage a simple phone or think about using 200gb of content daily (right).

                        I was again doing some quick 4K recordings yesterday and i still confirm what others have hard time admitting, with many actions/moving around (so raising the bitrates), sdcards don't seem to keep up totally while recording short 4K burst clips (like 5-10sec). There are some frames skipping here and there. And no, i don't have cheap sdcards class 10 but Sandisk and Samsung (non extreme and non pro) sdxc UHS1. Since average users / most of them won't buy even U1 cards, no need to think about how many are buying real fast extreme and pro cards in high capacity (No wonder why each time a "video proof" is released on youtube it is so crap quality/resolution).

                          Just look at that performance wow! even as samsung fan I'm surprised at how it's processor and GPU can get far ahead from the competitors.
