Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ review: Starborn

28 August, 2015
Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, as its name suggests, is the bigger and flashier sibling of the SM-G925 smartphone that dazzled the world with its dual-curve display a few months ago. The newcomer is aimed at users who want a premium phablet, but don’t covet the S Pen of the Samsung Galaxy Note5 that debuted alongside it.

Solun1, 07 Feb 2016Does anyone know if the S6 Edge+ has the download booster l... moreYes it does.

    AnonD-122669, 06 Feb 2016Ummmm, 4K Resolution of Z5 Premium, Waterproofing, Expan... moreMostly irrelevant. S6 edge+ as an excellent battery life (see the review). You don´t need 4K display unless doing virtual reality so that only applies to a few people who already take advantage of VR - and Samsung is doing the best VR on the market at the moment though the display is not as sharp as Sony´s, that is true. But Apple is doing VR too on 1920x1080 screen and charging premium for that so Samsung´s 2K screen is not an issue. Waterproofing only applies to those who don´t have insurance or drop their phones to liquids often. The rest you wrote is just random stuff that the edge+ has too, like the edge lighting and many others. Also, the design is incomparable.

      Does anyone know if the S6 Edge+ has the download booster like some editions of the S5? I mean being able to combine Wi-fi and data downloads? Thanks

          I sold my iphone 6 and i bought s6 edge + , guys i was apple boy , but this samsung is amazing , camera is perfect , screen is unbelievable , and no lags and battery is normal 10 hours of heavy usage like playing games watching videos and data usage with 4g speed ,and if someone ask about marshmallow it will come in february like rumors said , u wont regret this phone , in every aspect !
          Wish i have facetime on android thats all , buy it and enjoy it

            I think that this is basically a piece of art. But as a phone, there seems to be no difference for me between the S5 and this. And even between the S4 and the S5, they just added fingerprint and heart-rate but removed 90% of the tricks the S4 was able to do (including even hardware sensors like thermometer or hygrometer which are indeed not things everyone wants, but the power user who wants a great flagship does want. Unfortunately phones are becoming more mainstream and trying to impress the crowds because that´s what any company must do. So you are not getting THAT much compared to let´s say the S5 Mini which has the same sensors like this and even the same software out of the box (unless I have seen wrong and things like Quick Glance or Smart Scroll and dozens of others are making a comeback in the S6 or S7). Also, there is less justification of buying the S6 edge+ compared to ten times cheaper phones that can do pretty much the same, it just takes them a second longer.

              AnonD-122669, 25 Dec 2015So according to the Author, neither xperia Z5 or Z5 Premium... moreWhy would they be better?

                This phone is good but if you use it with the clear cover it will scratch. This is the only drawback of this. Performance is very good. Just disappointed with the scratched screen

                    So according to the Author, neither xperia Z5 or Z5 Premium are a competition for this but Nexus & LG G4 are ? What a joke !
                    Oh wait or are the Xperias just better ?

I think NO, it's too expensive probably for you to buy it :) Do not put in negative light this phone only what you hear about it, take in your hand and use it for a few days, after this you can write about it.

                                      It seems like Samsung is slowly assimilating into Iphone.
