My first Samsung phone was Samsung X100 (long long time ago :-) I always was using Samsung phones and have never been disappointed in my choice. Samsung Phones have a great quality ( that is the most important feature) and will serve you for a long time. They are very easy to use and year by year their performance is getting better and better. Now I have my new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge for 3 months and I can say it is the BEST PHONE EVER! I still keep exploring it every day and still find new features. I LOVE IT!!!!
P.S. love new headphones that were with my phone, very very comfortable.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use, amazing perfomance, comfortable to hold, very slim, meets all expectations, great quality sound, charging very fast, long time lasting battery, great camera, new shape headphones
This is the first Samsung phone I have ever owned. When upgrading my phone a few weeks ago, I thought my decision between several current flagship phones would be difficult. However, when I saw the Edge first hand, I gave the other phones only a perfunctory look and my decision was easy. The Edge is an eye-catcher. The display is crystal clear. The phone is fast. The camera is excellent. I have been using it for three weeks now, and these are my observations.
Design: Stunning. A really beautiful phone. The glass construction has a really premium look to it. It also is very nice to hold; it feels good in my hand. The look of the curved edges is reminiscent of the look of an endless pool. The only drawback is the protruding camera; it would have been nice to have a completely flat back.
Display: Crystal clear. Beautiful. No issues.
Battery: My concern about the battery not being powerful enough has proven unfounded. The first few days after I bought the phone, the battery drained pretty fast; however, I figured out that a couple of apps were the likely culprits. I disabled them. I also switched to a darker wallpaper and lowered the brightness level of the screen. Since then, a full charge in the morning has been lasting me through the work day and well into the evening without recharging. I plan on purchasing the wireless charger for use in my office.
Fast Charger: This is a very nice feature. The first few days the fast charging didn't work. I discovered that I had not pushed the USB cable far enough into the adapter. When you push the USB cable into the adapter, it may not be fully seated. Give it an extra push if fast charging doesn’t seem to be working on your phone. It would have been nice to have two fast chargers, one for home and one for travel.
Camera: The camera takes clear pictures. It also launches very quickly. The quick launch feature (double-clicking the home button) is very convenient. Probably the best phone camera on the market today.
Headphone Jack and Speaker Placement: Since the phone sits in my pocket upside down, the placement of the headphone jack and the speaker makes perfect sense.
Sound: Speaker has plenty of volume. No issues here.
The Edges: There is not much functionality with the edges at this time. A couple of third-party apps have increased the utility of the edges for me. The night clock is a nice touch. Hopefully more functionality will be created for the phone’s edges.
Other features: This phone has a powerful processor as I have not experienced any lags in any of the functions or apps. The triple-click of the home button as a short cut to some functions is nice. (I use it to invoke the gray scale feature). Changing the font size in messages through the volume buttons is a thoughtful feature. I like the link to the theme store for personalizing themes, icons and wallpapers.
My experience with the S6 Edge has been nothing but positive. I love it, and I highly recommend it, or the other S6 models as your next phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast fast fast, top-rate camera, fast charging rock!, speaker has good volume, exceeds expectations, reduced bloatware
Cons: needs more edge utility, no expandable memory, prone to smudges, should come with two fast chargers, can't replace battery
My new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is great. I know a lot of people say the Edge is no better than the regular S6 except that it's more aesthetically pleasing. After reading a lot of reviews of the edge before purchasing it seemed like the features on it were just a novelty act. I decided to buy it anyways only for the fact that I wanted my phone to have a slightly different look (I've purchased the S3 and S4 before this). I'm so happy that I decided to splurge a little more on the edge version. I think the nighttime clock is great. The news and notification feeds are great. And the contacts you can assign to the edge is super convenient too. Also, it's great not to have to hit a button just to check the time. One of the great things I love about Androids over iPhones is the ability to customize things a little more. The S6 Galaxy did not disappoint. I am in love with the ability to change the themes on the phone which not only changes the icons but also all the other functions screens (like the phone and text message screens). Granted most of my review is on the visuals of the phone. But so far no issue with any of the technical stuff. The double tap on the home button opens up the camera so fast it really gives you the ability to capture that fleeting moment with incredible ease. Plus the pictures you take on this phone are incredibly clear and crisp. The details that are visible are amazing. Took a lot of pictures this weekend and people were amazed with how awesome the pictures came out. I was a little hesitant to purchase this phone because of the non-removable battery and lack of a SD card slot. But I took the plunge anyways...so far it has not disappointed. Battery life has been decent so far. Phone does charge relatively quickly so it's not a big issue.
The S6 Edge has some of the greatest features I have found in a phone. I can listen to a text while driving and answer with talk. I don't have to look at my phone at all. The camera takes a wider view shot then my last phone and I can get more people in the shot or panaramic view. Going to the movies is no longer a big deal because I can silence my phone without turning it off. What a joy it is to have this Edge. I just love all the apps and widgets and the way I can do everything at once without it freezing.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use, just what i was looking for
The battery life and power saving features are a major strength of the product. The display is impeccable and its numerous features are very handy. Its camera takes stunning videos and images as well. The system UI was not very pleasing to me, but I downloaded the google now launcher app which made my experience the best I could ask for. The only minor issue I have is that there are a limited number of cases available due to the design of the phone. I would like to have a waterproof case from Lifeproof, and, if it were to become available, I would be completely satisfied.
