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...

    [deleted post]All phones will start to bend if heavyweight sits on them, well maybe not Lumia. just with the nature of the edge design it will happen easier . Its not major deal, no one cared about apple , so in can't see it being any different with the edge

            An excellent evaluation. I will read it a second time as a starting point for additional research.

            The guts of s6 are revolutionary, and the Note 5 should be spectacular!

            We must applaud the author and his team. Now just pray for minimum iBS in the comments.

                m86k, 05 Apr 2015Nerds prefer speed and power, and they know all workarounds... moreWhat is DAS? If you ment SAR then that is a useless metric for anything beyond knowing if a phone is approved or not.

                No, disabling FM radio is just for greed, non consumer friendly business and an indication of iPhoneism (same as removing SD-card and having a sealed battery). Fortunately LG, Huawei, Sony, ZTE, Lenovo, etc still provides this so all disgruntled Samsung owners can vote with their wallets. I know I will.

                  I never said who preferred what or who would have to make what choice.

                      And has anyone thought about that Maybe Samsung has lower DAS because they don't include FM anymore ?

                        [deleted post]Z4 is going to have even worse battery life with the SD 810.

                        Just have a look at the M9.

                          For some people like me, probably doesn't need sd card, Fm Radio. Cause I never listen to radio, I used to transfer my media file to cloud, so I'm kind of a person like to see my smartphone clean from such thing (I just keep mp3 song). About battery, yes sometimes I really do concern, when my phone getting heated and freeze. But they said, this phone will not having such problem like that. We will see how it goes :)

                            I'll be the first to admit it. I haven't liked a Samsung design in a loooong time, but the S6 edge is a sharp looking device. They really nailed it.

                            The removable battery, coupled with Samsung's refusal to build a flagship device with metal and glass was a big part of it.

                            Now if only they could make the UI more like Sense....;)

                              Looks very fragile. What kind of cases could you buy for it? I guess you could carry it in a purse. Just not with paying extra for, get the s6 instead

                                  Please benchmark EDGE ' S battery as well. Don't assume it will have the same results as S6 and then repost S6's results. That's sloppy reporting and blatantly untrue. Edge ' s battery is 2% better than S6's so it must show in results.

                                  Also it's smaller (better screen to body ratio) than S6 so you should note that too. So -no- the edge screen is not the only difference, this is the better worked model too (better hardware in smaller package). It's important to note of those things.

                                    There are many devices here that are good to great.
                                    Find some and make a decision for yourself.
                                    If you want to ask about a specific device I may or may not have the knowledge/answer.

                                    Good/great does not mean best.
                                    Over priced does not mean best.
                                    In the case of the S6 yes it is not "cheap" and is the best overall around only bested by the Note with trade offs.

                                        And better does not mean the lesser is bad.
                                        Logic. Many cheaper devices while maybe not the best are good to great.
