Absolutely love the Edge. Lightweight, super fast, easy to use. The camera is the best ever. Takes out- standing true to life pictures. And, it is not as complicated as the iPhone! I love everything about this phone.
I switched to the S6 edge from iPhone and couldn't be happier. There are so many additional features on the S6 that it made the decision an easy one. Screen splitting, easy integration with other devices, especially between Samsung devices, are just some of the great features. The camera is amazing and display is the best I've seen. Couldn't be happier.
Very cool design, but has some opportunities for improvement

The Galaxy S6 is finally the phone that goes toe to toe with iPhone and gives consumers the decision of preference instead of performance. The design is unmatched. The curved screens, colors, pictures, and framework are top of the line. The curved screens have some capabilities but at this point they are limited. It's more of a cool factor and with phones these days, that's counts for something.
Performance is great but at times has you scratching your head. It almost seems like the phone was designed to run beyond the lollipop and as such works great. Fluid movement between apps and other functions. However apps do crash at a rate that is noticeable. I imagine some updates will resolve this but overall you will be satisfied.
The camera is incredible. Not much more can be said there as not many other phones can match it.
The only con is the battery. It simply is mediocre. Some days it performs well but with heavy usage, you will need a recharge through the day. The quick charge is nice though. I initially expected a quicker charge but in comparing the charging speed of the iPhone 5s, Galaxy 6 has it beat. However the edge charges faster initially but slows once you get above 50%. Either way, though the battery is mediocre the quick charge helps. I would not say it solves the shortfall samsung presented with this phone. It's honestly weird that they ignored the battery performance considering that is a major issue with people and their phones. Either way of battery is an issue that needs to be addressed if Samsung wants to really knock iPhone out of their way.
Overall this is a great phone. I went in wanting an iPhone and walked out with the edge. It's got a great frame that holds very well. The wireless charging is a great option and the speed is just amazing. The screen is bright and clear which makes watching movies and video so good. Again the biggest draw back is the battery. If the battery gets resolved, the edge will leave iPhone in the dust. If you have the money it's a great phone. If you don't care much for the curved edges, you can save $100 and get the normal S6.
I purchased the Samsung S-6 Edge to replace the Samsung S-4 that I have had since it's release. The new S-6 is a superior design to competitors Android phones. The edge function allows the user to get notifications of those items which are most important to the user without actually having to wake the phone.
I would recommend the S-6 to anyone who utilizes multiple functions available on mobile phones. The camera takes crisp, clear pictures!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast
I never was a Samsung fan when it came to their cell phones. Their product always felt cheap, and flimsy, and I preferred a phone that feels substantial, made of metal and glass, so I went with the HTC One M7 device a few years ago. I've watched HTC offer new models, but without anything that excited me. Then comes along the Galaxy S6 Edge - everything I've always wanted in a phone. The display is breathtaking, and so is the camera. The fit and finish - spectacular. I love EVERYTHING about this device - the only gripe I have, albeit a minor one, is the placement of the back arrow key - most devices have it on the left, Samsung put it on the right. Other than that, Samsung, you have a winner here!! Congrats!
The design of the phone is different, I find that appealing. It has the same great features that Samsung's phones have. Excellent battery life. Overall a great addition to the Samsung family.
